About time he gets an assist for that type of pass. Beautiful.

Finally gets his game against Blackburn
Legend. Came on and instantly ran the show. He's really settling in now, just need these performances in a big Match to settle the doubters
Thought he completely changed the game when he came on. Incredible assist. I don't think there is another player in world football that consistently puts forwards through on goal with passes from their own half like Pogba does.
Pogba just doing Pogba things
PogPass.
4-3-3->4-2-3-1
Our midfield goes from average to bossing with Pogba on the pitch. So clear the difference between him on the pitch vs off the pitch.
Pirlo type pass .. class
He needs to rest but without him we are so shit
Bread and butter pass from him, he makes it look effortless
Great cameo. Different class.
Look miles better in attack when 4231. Plus Pogba doesn't suit spending so much time up the pitch.
Learnt a lot today about just how crucial he is to the team, we are a completely different side the second he steps on. Superb player and while he does a lot of great things such as that pass I think he does the little passes which go unnoticed well too, its what stood out about Zidane for me.
The key thing for me today was the way he came on and straight away took responsibility.
We have missed that attitude in the last few years.

He can easily he a 20 goals and 20 assists midfielder judging from this season (in which he has been unlucky and has loads of potential to grow). The Mata chance he created thursday, is his characteristic, so good.
Agreed, the assist was great but this was what impressed me, he took over when he came on.
classic pogba, dangerously losing the ball in the middle of the pitch after an unnecessary dribble and then making a great pass showing great vision and execution like on numerous occassions this season, they seem to have a good understanding with Zlatan
Just an unbelievable player (Yes we over paid for him) but I don't care he is that good and we have lacked blue chip players for a while that scare the opposition into changing their game. Hopefully we get Griezman as he is of a similar standard to Pogba. Then keep adding every year another blue chip player with a couple of smaller buys yes they won't all be great but they have a better chance when they have already proven their quality on the big stages.
made mistakes but I get what you're saying. Give him 3 / 4 years and he'll be our new Roy Keane!!!!
Our best player IMO, essential to our ambitions in the coming years and we should have him for his prime. If he keeps performing at the level he has been since November he'll be arguably the best player in the league, he's not far off now.
His long range passing is amazing. Some Chelsea fan said Luiz is better passer of the ball than Pogba
Finally gets his game against Blackburn
It also looks like he has adjusted his game to keep it a bit more simple at the same time being effective. What he did today is bread and butter for him and he would do this against oppositions like these with eyes closed.
Simple effective control and finding the right moment for a killer ball. Hopefully he doesn't restrict himself too much though.

Fantastic player, makes it look so effortless too. I don't care what we paid for him, his talent is undeniable.
Great assist, pirlo-esque

MOTM next Sunday!
Pogba gets way too much stick. He's 23 and nowhere near his prime yet, and is already transforming our midfield when he steps onto a pitch. Yeah he's had some poor games, but I'd be more than willing to pay the fee all over again .
One thing is that when he was at Juve I felt like he did really well on counter attacks which occurred more often. He hasn't gotten to do it as often for United. So it's something to take into account when comparing him in a 2 man and 3 man midfield.
About fecking time someone stuck one of his long passes in the back of the net!
Couldn't agree more.
the crazy thing is he creates at least one chance like that in the overwhelming majority of the games, sometimes even more than one, but our forwards often fluff it. his assists number would be off the charts if our conversion rate was better
He's been brilliant this season imo.
But we know there's so much more to come as well.

We overpaid for Summer 2016 but I reckon by Summer 2020 it'll bizarrly look like a good price.
If he just gets that one season where all the shots fly in and people finish off his assists.. then he will become a regular 20 goals/assists a season midfielder. He needs that confidence boost that he is capable of doing it.
No reason why he can't.. two footed, great in the air.. can hit any manner of shots and he gets himself into good positions and has the skill to beat players too. Anything less would be an underachievement.

We looked far better with him in the side than out. Encouraging. I suspect he's really starting to relish his role now, he looks hungry for it.
Yep a bit like for Madrid and the Ronaldo deal.
One interesting fact is that Pogba has 5 assists, and all of them have been for Ibra.
