Vital to say the least
Chalk another to the list with his assist for the winner!

It’s ridiculous. He’s a victim of his own stature and skill. Despite being so tall and strong, he constantly tongue ties the opposition so the normal kicks and drags back that would get a normal tricky winger and win a foul aren’t given for him.Was kicked left and right and that fat feck of a ref didn't give anything
Been my fav player for a long time, when he wants to play there's no one better.Probably in the top 5 players currently who makes football worth watching.
He does help control the game when he plays deeper, but it also feels like he's only at about 70% if that. Hopefully Ole keeps using him more advanced, he can always drop back.Another class performance, I really like him off the left as he adds creative balance but we were getting nothing from the double pivot so Ole moving him there for the 2nd half made sense and he orchestrated things superbly in that role as well.
Someone said it best in the match day thread.
Pogba playing DM/the furthest back midfielder is criminal.

Yeah, believing that nonsense and then use it against player.
Pogba's contract was leaked long back and almost everyone who followed the news back then knows the details. He makes around 144k in basic, then have bunch of clauses like CL qualification, loyalty bonus and image rights. He gets 3 million from image rights.
Somehow he will get hike from 144k to 500k and then on top of that image rights thing too
Magisterial again. No-one in football turns defensive possession - under pressure from multiple players - into attacking situations - weaving through and striding away from those players - better than Pogba does.
Quick question. Have we ever tried Pogba as a false nine? I’d like to see a 4-3-3 with rashford to his left and Greenwood to his right and Bruno in midfield. He potentially has the physical attributes and short passing skills to pull it off. I know we would miss his passing from deep but he has not been playing in the pivot lately. He wouldn’t replace a natural 9 banging them in but I’d still like to see how it would play out.
I’d love to see it. The way he can turn opponents is word class so why not have him do it to the last defender rather than in front of our own box. He had a great game today.I think he could play anwhere in the front line and cause the opposition problems. Any player who combines that kind of physical presence and skill would.
Just don't have him in centre mid.
Good performance but dont play him deep. Burnley went through us with ease in the 2nd half, I felt.
Is there an Opta stat for that? If not, seems majority of today’s football watchers (or more ‘readers’ it sometimes seems) will not know what to do with such info!
Honestly think we could've won the title had he not got injured when he did.
fecking Moss telling Pogba how to play. No wonder these refs think it's OK to kick the shit out of flair players.
Monster.

That Moss clip is so telling. Opposition players can kick Pogba all day because they view his superior technique and skill as "taking the piss". Even though he isn't and, even if he was, it wouldn't justify some of the fouls opposition players get away with on him. Or any flair player over here in England for that matter.
