Mails: No room for Pogba AND Herrera

It’s the new Gerrard-Lampard thing
I think I know the answer to the Pogba problem. Thing is, many fans won’t like it.

You remember back to the England midfield of Gerrard and Lampard, and how it almost invariably failed to work in spite of both players being very capable?

The problem most people realised was that both players wanted to get forwards (and in fact were only good when they were). But you can’t have both doing it, and asking them to manage who stayed back themselves was a huge failure because Lampard never stayed back.

Well exchange Pogba for Gerrard (quite similar in almost all ways) and Herrera for Lampard (both entirely attack-minded).

Either the entire shape of the team needs to change to accommodate both with a babysitter (in the guise of Carrick, Scheiderlin, Blind or Fellaini at a push) – a solution that still means they can get in each other’s way – or one of them will have to drop to the bench. Neither of them are natural to any other position and asking Pogba to stay deep wastes about 60 of the £89m we spent on him.

Now for me it’s a Trump voter (a no-brainer), because Pogba is far superior to Herrera, but I imagine most fans (on here) would rather us move to 4-5-1 and dropping ‘him’.
