Your stats aren’t correct. I didn’t call you a liar....they are lies.
He's generally been poor against West Ham in the last few years. Will be interested to see if he gets the start today.
He’s usually poor against anybody with intensity in midfield
Pretty much.
I might be wrong for what I say next, but I'll do anyhow.
He had quite some time (may be a little over 2 seconds) to think before he struck that ball.
I don't know about him, but whenever I play football and come across an opportunity like this and have that much time to think,
first thing on my mind is "lift my leg higher, don't slice the ball, keep it on target".
A 90 million 'world class' world cup winning footballer should be able to hit the target at least, especially when we were under the cosh - that's my own opinion.

Please tell me you aren’t saying you strike a ball better than an elite level footballer!
dear oh dear, what has this place become.
No, I don't. I would love to. But I know what goes through my mind and I know that I can't fully execute it.
However an elite footballer should be able to execute - unless the right thoughts are not going through his mind.
But thanks for cherry picking the vulnerable aspects of my thought's exposition and neglecting the point I was trying to make. It makes the debate quite more enjoyable when you point a beatuiful landscape and the person you point to goes "Oh, your fingernails are not clipped".
West Ham 1:3 Man Utd
Can we get some positivity for a little while ? It wouldn't hurt us. What a goal.
The stupidity of checking if the ball went out from those angles though

Hopefully the return of the Pogboom
If only he could play like he did in the second half (more or less the entire second half he was excellent) then we'd have a decent player but alas that first half was horrific
Nice.
Fantastic shot. Superb quality moment from him that brought us to the game.
That was a belter. I hope this gives him a bit of confidence moving forward. So happy to see that go in.
Played a lot better when Bruno and Rashford came on, then when Greenwood went up top people were actually making runs in behind so he played better. I think him and Bruno can play together and should more often.
Well played Paul. Kept us ticking first half and put a shift in defensively. World class goal that transformed the game. Was heading for 2/3-0 until that moment of genius.
All his usual flaws on display in the first half. Jogs about, dawdles on the ball etc. Lucky not to be hooked at HT. That said - what a goal! Repaid Ole's belief in him to an extent. His defensive clearances were quite good if that's anything to take away. If only we could get him to play it faster with fewer than four touches.

Thought he was outstanding myself. Provided a hammer blow to the hammers in a game where he ended up hammering them.
Good second half from him after a poor first half. Really big goal too as we weren't looking all that threatening.
Good performance and world class goal!
could of got a red card/penalty for that overhead kick and we would be having a different discussion now, but lets have some positivity for once.

Thought he was as poor as anyone in the first half, but by God what a hit.
Looked like he had far better clarity of what was expected of him once Van de Beek came off. If we play those two together again I'd prefer to see them the other way round. I don't see anything from Van de Beek to suggest he's going to give you more than Pogba further forward.

He is never really comfortable as the main man, he needs someone else to be the heart of the team and then Pogba can be the uber talented extra. I really wish he was more capable of mentally committing to playing deeper , it is the role that gives Utd the strongest options.
Great goal and he lasted the 90, that will get him a run of games you would think, up to him to make it work.

85 accurate passes in the game and 88% pass completion, no one in either team came close.
Looked a different player after the goal.
First half he was poor but had no help from the attacking players as all were too static, but as soon as there was movement around he was brilliant.
Did very well overall today. And great goal
I am his biggest critic and I want him out of the club but that was a great game and what a goal.
A couple of bad moments in the first half but I thought he was probably our best player at that stage. Which still didn’t qualify as average. Overall he was decent enough but you do worry about him defensively.
Absent in the first half then completely different in the second half. Whatever system we used in the first half we shouldn't bother with it again without the right personnel.
I was saying he didn't have any confidence. Shoulders drooped, unwilling to ping balls forward, or even drive forward himself.
Got the goal, suddenly came completely alive as a player. Involved in a lot of our buildup and looked sure of himself.
That's the player we need to see.

We're a really good team with him and Bruno on form. If we can stretch that out over the Christmas period we could find ourselves in a very good position...
He was absolutely atrocious in the first half. Did fine in the second, but did have a superb goal so can't fault him one bit from 45-90 mins.
Evra is a prick though, again now he's dicking on VDB chuckling at why people bother comparing the two. After Pogbas first good 45 mins all season, he should get called out on it. Its a joke.

Great goal. He needed that. Also was involved in Rashford's
Poor first half but better in the second, I’m sure he was being named as scapegoat by a lot of people despite everyone having a stinker so it was nice he got goal to change the game.
Really wonder how different this thread would look if he had never left for juventus. He was poor in first half as was everyone else. But what a strike and second half performance. Both defensively and offensively. Good game and hope he can keep this level of performance
He was our best player in first half. Not great by all means but was only one who did something.
Loved the goal, loved the celebration even more! He played well second half.
Who else played well in the first half to those having to mention it alongside their damning praise.
Should he leave? Probably. Does he want to play for the club? Don’t know you’d have to ask him but anyone clowning themselves that McAverage or Fred could have such an impact on a game of football are as laughable as his first half display.
He more than played a role in winning in Paris & his introduction at Newcastle led to the win but lets forget that.
Vive la Pogba FC.

Fantastic strike for his goal. Apart from that he was decent, controlled the game once we were ahead.
What a hit, more of that please
