indeed. my comment wasn't so much about Pogba as it was about batdude's bias.”
It is not bias on my behalf, players playing in different positions have to be judged differently that is just commonsense surely?
Aguero is a top class striker, of that there is no doubt, the question is, has he been as good as he can potentially be this season, I wouldn't say he has, despite his current goal tally.
Whereas you have to judge Pogba differently, as he is a midfielder, and thus, goals are not generally the best metric to judge him by.
He has been doing well when it comes to passing accuracy, through balls, and other stats that you tend to look for in a good midfielder, can he be doing more for us, yes of course, but he is just getting started here, so a key difference with Aguero, who knows his surroundings, and his teammates (give or take or one or two).
So this has nothing to do with anyone being biased, and more just looking at what a player is capable of in their respective position(s), and seeing if they have come close to fulfilling that potential.
