The guy should be on 5 or10+ assists already. This isnt the first time he did it. Plus he set up the chance for Zlatan which was blocked. Hes helping us create chances which is a huuuuge improvement over last year. going in the right direction for performances (if not results) and hes a huge part of it.
 
Really pissed off for him has he got a yellow card for that. When a wild swing comes at you like that, you keep your feet back and go to ground (as staying on your feet is a bit tricky when you're moving your legs behind you to avoid a kick)... decisions like that basically encourage injuries.
 
Mourinho probably told him to get booked so he only misses a cup game.
 
He was fantastic today, really getting into his form. Glad he's got that assist registered.
 
Fantastic game from him, good thing that he got a 5th yellow because he'll need a rest.
 
Must wonder what he's walked into here.

At times he has the ball, and has someone like Lingard near and thinks, why give him it, so has to do something special instead.
 
There were too instances where he had to play an easy through pass to Rashford and he'd be in.. and both times he overhit it.

This is currently my issue with Pogba, he does lots of really good things, but it's the simple, straight-forward things that he often poorly executes.
 
He's class but my main issue is that he needs to do the easy thing a bit more. He prefers the Hollywood option too much.

He had Rooney standing in the box in a great shooting position and he delayed it looking for something else.
 
Fantastic today, apart from that misplaced pass late in the game. I think he got tired, and unsurprisingly so.
 
He and Martial are a level or two above everyone in the squad. The side should be build around them.
 
Put in a lot of work and created our best openings, he's not getting much help from the forwards to turn his passes into goals.
 
Brilliant first half, average 2nd. The reluctance of our forwards bar Mata, Ibra and Mkhi to come short and get involved pisses him off. Understandably so
 
Very good today, he was getting frustrated second half and I think that's why he wasn't as crisp with his passing, it didn't help that his team mates just couldn't be fecked to do anything in that second half.
 
MOTM today and I feel for him. Zlatan should've done better with his second chance inside the box. If not for his wastefulness Pogba would have at least 5 more assists this season
 
Outrageously talented player. Played well today, looked tired in the 2nd half - which is understandable.

Happy he got that yellow card so he can rest Wednesday.
 
Becoming more and more impressed with him. Still think he's best in a midfield 3, but he's still finding ways to influence the game from a slightly deeper position. With some better players around him, he'll be devastating.
 
He is currently the best player on the team but he's still far from his level at Juve. He plays far too deep, it is criminal

When you have a player like Pogba, you have to build the team around him unless you are the Barca, Real and Bayern.

He could bring so much more by playing as a false left winger. Allegri made him play in this position in big games ( Bayern...)

He isnt a CDM or a CM !
 
His ball to Ibra was sublime, and to be fair to him, he's played a lot of balls like that, but we actually finished it off, meaning he registered his first assist, which is mad really, given how creative he has been.
 
great first half, was less effective in 2nd half ..... if only he could grab the team by the scruff if the neck and inspire wins like Robson or Keane used to ....

Thats the level I expect him to quickly reach.
