His long ranged passing compilation is gonna be unfeckingreal to watch :drool:
 
The better the players around him, the more he's going to improve.....
 
He's absolutely fecking magestic. I can't believe all the people that doubted him.

His ability to turn his marker 1v1 constantly is something I haven't seen from a midfielder in a long, long time.

His passing in the last 2 games is as good as Scholes. That long ball today in the 2nd half without any first touch was just unbelievable.

The first half pass to Fellaini drilled low and hard, how many others can do that?

Worth absolutely every penny.

OH and he scored the winner too! Wheres all your "what a waste of money" chants now eh? Paul FECKING Pogba.
 
Though tbf, his attempt to be super cool in the midst of the mayhem made the celebrations look boring. I like my last minute winners accompanied by bulging eyes and flailing limbs.

Gimp
I get Ronaldo flashbacks with the way he strides with arrogance like a mighty gazelle. So, for that reason alone, I can excuse him.
 
He's gonna outscore majority of wingers and strikers by playing the CM role.

Money well spent, Ed.
 
Yet again statistically among the best players on the pitch, according to WhoScored. Today only bested by Martial who was rated 9.3 versus Pogba's 9.2 rating.

Still, you'd expect Hendo to outshine him the next couple of hours, though.
 
It's been said before, but future United captain material. Loves the club and gives his all for the badge.
 
I loved the effort he put in after we were 1-0 down. It reminded me of Rooney in his prime, tracking back to LB position just to win the ball back himself, and playing like he wants to ping the long ball and collect it himself. He didn't want to lose this game and it's fitting he scored the winner. Terrific player and people are starting to take notice.

I loved this as well, he's done it in a few games now (I think since Carrick has been an integral part of our squad) and the defence have benefited massively from it.
 
The more you watch him for us the more you think, why the feck is Deschamps so stuck on giving him a reestriced role? He is the best all round midfield player in the world.

And plenty in here have argued in favour of Deschamps too...
 
Are his brothers good as well? Let's buy all of them, they can't be that far off Paul
For a sheer fear factor. Field 4 Pogbas (or how many are there?), the opponent won't know which one to mark out of the game and half of them will surrender before the whistle
 
Despite being shackled with having to come deep to collect the ball and spray it, then having to back up field and create almost all our main chances he still performed to a great standard.

His range of passing is so critical to our play as he's the only player who can stretch the play. Over the last month I think his defensive work rate has gone up a notch too, still loads more to come. Left foot, right foot, in the air and a legitimate goal threat anywhere on the pitch. He's unreal.

This and this.

Play him tight and he can hold the ball under pressure, turn his man/or the 2-3 in his vicinity AND still play a good ball. Restrict the space or rather, when he's restricted by under performing team mates, by his own will and effort, he can turn it on from deep.

It's not just the range of ability, it's his attitude and mentality to make things happen and not just wait for the next phase of play, which too many player are guilty of.
 
He's not the midfielder general all ye muppets promised me is he?

So are folks now beginning to accept that Pogba is not the type of dynamic box to box player that we need to dominate midfield? Good.

I honestly don't know what Pogba is, I've seen him being touted as a 10, an 8 and even a left sided midfielder. Even tonight in commentary Hargreaves blurted some crap about him 'having to play further forward, kind of like a 10 or a 8'.

My big fears are being confirmed, he doesn't look like the kind of leader that will drive us on in midfield. As I've said all along I hope in wrong.

Not really. I want him to work out for us. But I did say he wasn't the type of player everyone was making out.

I still don't see what everyone else sees in him. He doesn't even look like a footballer.

Was never the right player for us. Crazy.

You seeing it yet, fella?
 
Doesn't even look like a footballer, FFS.
 
^ :lol:

He is literally everything you said he isn't; dynamic, leader, exactly the player United needed in midfield to drive us forward.

The 'he doesn't even look like a footballer' deserves the 2016 Post of the Year Award.

Presumably this is the only time Rory 7 has seen Pogba.

That celebration must stop. As in he shouldn't do it next time. Not that I thought it's still going on.

Sigh.
 
Excellent and mature performance from Paul! He needs a bit more luck! He plays so maturely for his age!
