Stunning performance, stunning player. While I'm keen for the lad to get back up to full fitness, his performance today, especially without a preseason and barely two weeks of training, is unbelievable.
 
He was really good, covered more grass today than his usual role at Juve.
 
Wow! he's a bloody beast, he's going to tear this league up.

The strength in depth in our squad now is scary, players like Pogba & Zlatan are going to lift everyone.
 
What a player! absolutely bossed it, and he's gonna get so much better. Just looked a level above everyone.
 
There is no one better at transitioning from defence to attack. He has an unreal ability on the ball.
 
Bloody brilliant player. Started off a bit rusty but really grew into it.

Been a while since we had one of the best midfielders in the world.
 
Nice to hear Mourinho talking about giving him freedom and that we'll see more from him offensively as he adapts.
 
He's like the big kid in the school play ground who is so much better than everybody else. He makes everything look so simple. Special player, joy to have been at OT to witness that tonight.
 
He played well. Wasn't amazing but was very solid. Good performance.
 
Okay okay.
So when we paid such a huge amount of money for this guy I was oohing and aahing.

But today, the athleticism. The power. The flair. The ability to physically take on opponents with added benefit of being technically adept.
The other thing I noticed is that he covered so much ground. He was operating in front of our defence and he was also in attacking areas. I guess he is the box-to-box player.
It's only been one game, but I want to see more of him.
 
What a fecking player, lads :drool: Absolutely bossed it. You couldn't tell he hadn't played since the Euro 2016 final. Monster.
 
How does Juventus replace a player like Pogba? I as a fan would be disgusted if someone took away a player like him. What a flair he has
 
He's the midfield version of Ronaldo. Such a dynamic, powerful, skillful player, and he's only 23.
I was thinking the exact same thing to myself during the game.
Huge admiration for his performance today, If that is what we can expect from him as a usual performance, then goddammit I'll die happy!
 
I can see why you'd give it to Zlatan, to be fair, but Pogba was still comfortably 8/10 today. He contributed to winning the game for us. He may not have put the ball in the back of the net, but he was phenomenal nonetheless!
He was excellent. You don't need to have an assist or goal to have a very good game.

They cry like little girls and blame the player for being greedy and disrespectful... that's what Juve has become.

In the end, Serie A teams (even Juve) cannot pay the wages that an elite player expects and the left as a result. That was the bottom line.
 
He has a quality about him that's evident every time the ball is at his feet.
 
He's so well-rounded. I love how he decides being brilliant in CM is getting boring, so he just wanders out to the wing and looks great there instead.
 
Really impressive debut. Pleased with his defensive output, but I'm still not sure as to whether we can play with just him and one other in midfield in the bigger games.
 
The difference between him and whatever we were putting in our midfield the past 5 years+... Staggering. And this is just after 1 week of training. A few sloppy touches of course, but he's a tank and so talented and composed. The difference a world class midfielder makes it huge.

His interview at the end with Ibra and also the handshake with Bailly though :drool: Know each other for 1 or 2 weeks and already clearly a great relationship
