Great performance from him....that's the minimum standard he should be expecting from himself though but much much better today with and without the ball
 
Not good enough for the Ajax team apparently.
 
He gets treated harshly by referees because of his size, as does Fellaini. Blatantly body-checked after a great run in the first half. Amazing how he didn't get a free.

Annoys me to no end that, he very often gets overlooked for fouls.

Such an amazing player on his day though, like tonight. His stamina is fecking incredible too, one of his underrated traits, game after game he's all over the pitch. Hopefully the team will work much better collectively next season, and I'll bank on him to get double-digits goals and assists easily.
 
I feel like this is how he has been playing most of the season. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
Has moments of wonderful quality and bossing people about because he's a physical beast and then has moments where you know he's gonna lose the ball every single time because he takes risks, almost like Giggsy in his later years where you'd sacrifice possession and passing stats for the off chance he'll create a bit of magic.

Was good today. His long legs helped a lot I thought to get him out of situations.
 
Really very good. They couldn't deal with his powerful surging runs. He spread the play nicely, too. Perhaps he feels the need to really step up with Ibra now gone.
 
Very good player, he is. Has been running midfield in our games. Shame his numbers aren't better, due to poor finishing from both him and his team mates.
 
He deserves better players playing infront of him. End of the day when he looks at his assist tally, he would feel like throwing up.
 
He is a huge player and once the donkeys around him sort their shooting out! he'll have about 30+ assists a season.

But until then he'll have to keep listening to pundits using his stats to drive their standard bias views on his season.

The 5 assists stat at the top of this thread is criminal given the finishing at the end of his passes which have been almost always perfect.
With some clinical finishers in the team, his season overall would be judged much better especially as United would be in a much better position.
 
Well we should give him another season to see if we unearthed a diamond or a gem for 90 mil pound.
 
I'd prefer to rest Pogba vs Arsenal but this gave ought to give him great momentum to rock Arsenal's midfield.
 
Pogba absolutely humiliated them. He's so fecking good. It's unbelievable we have a player of his quality considering how shit we are in almost every other position.
 
Anyone else worried about the yellow card he picked up, if he gets one in the second league does that still mean he'd miss the final?
 
Thanks fellas. I've used both sites before. I just got into a debate with someone who said Pogba was not even among the top ten in key passes. I've got the info I needed

Almost all players, that are in the top 20, take the set pieces for their clubs, which always means more key passes. Pogba hardly takes them for us, which makes his numbers there more impressive.

he has. he has performed consistently well for us, but he's an easy target with the price tag and all, so when our forwards fluff easy chances and he ends up misplacing a pass and the match ends up a home draw against some relegation fodder, his mistake is magnified to extreme levels despite easily being one of our better players and the least of our worries. dude is a beast.

UEFA have announced that the players will no longer miss the Champions League or Europa League final through suspension for the accumulation of yellow cards.

Players' booking will be wiped out after the quarter-final stages of European club competitions.
 
At least 20 passes there in that video that SHOULD have led to goals. Not even like, "yeah it was a decent pass that give the attacker a half chance" but full on, on a plate, guilt edge chances wasted. He should be on about 30 assists for the season.

Omg that finishing is so painfull to watch after some insane worldclass passing. People complain about the lack of goals and assists but some of those chances cant be any better for a striker. I dont mind if he doesnt score a single goal if he keeps passing like that and his teammates will actually score.

The 'anti-Pogba' brigade should be convinced now right? The last few games without Pogba in midfield were shite. Pogba his injury wasnt a blessing in disguise. By far our best midfielder and i woudnt trade him for any other midfielder in the world.

The only legitimate criticism you can level at him is his tendency to not control games against our biggest rivals but I feel that will come for him as he settles into his role in this team.
 
He is the only world class player on the team currently, and needs to have better quality of players around him to show his true value.
 
De Gea and Ibra, for me are world class. Bailly is well on the way.
De Gea is the GK and isnt relevant in the context (he doesnt influence the play of the team)

Ibra is no longer world class. He was at his prime, and still a very good player, but he is past it and wouldnt start in any of the elite clubs.
