Couple of sloppy passes soon after each other apart, he's been great. Dominating the game and no surprise it was him whose put us ahead.

That is who Pogba is. Comes with the player, unlucky not to have a wonder goal as a result of it in this game
I was more alluding to the few flicks out wide when he lost possession. I love a good probing ball and his long passing - hasn't all come off tonight - has been inventive and you can see what he's trying.

Realistically are people people who are going to complain about Pogba's extravagant passing attempts, and also people who will complain about sideways zombie passes? I'll never complain about the off wonder ball or so while some turn out to create golden chances.

Yup I do too, but he gave it away a few times when a simple pass was a far better option.
Its frustrating but he'll learn and get better at it.

I would rather have a player with that type of ego to do something like that than someone like Cleverly (ie keep it simple)

Goal threat, creative, great strength on the ball, worked hard defensively, important in both penalty areas off setpieces. Complete player.

Everyone jumping on the bandwagon after he scores an offside goal.

His passing is constantly sloppy. His crossing into Ibra has been very lax, constantly overhit. He plays fancy touches that put people in trouble. He constantly does a wee jump before running. He is in his own wee world. Overrated.

Liking him in the more advanced role so far, he's been the heartbeat of the team with Carrick covering behind him.

His worst half in a while with some atrocious passes, but scored a goal and had an assist that Rooney failed to convert. He's going to win us so many points.
On the contrary, I thought he was amazing. He had one poor pass to Herrera but the other one was not even his fault!

There will be a whole compilation of his chipped passes by the end of the season.

Amazing player.

Christ, definitely. He had a very good half and hopefully he can step it up again in the second half.

Some truly awful passing, but he's right in the thick of things and always likely to do something.

Very good half from him, basically taken a responsibility to be our playmaker so far, not something he usually did so far in his career.

I thought that was a bloody brilliant half of football. The same band of bores will whinge on about some of his loose passing, but the creativity to his game is magnificent. He's running the game (which he apparently can't do) and is the only reason we've created anything. He's been everywhere.
Great game from Pogba. He's been everywhere and in the middle of everything we have created. But, he also has a tendency to switch off sometimes, a few loose passes here and there and some unnecessary extra touches when he could release the ball a bit faster. That being said, when he hits his prime, he is gonna be some player!

Excellent tonight, would be even better if we had a bit of pace in attack.

He is complete at an age where no one has any business being complete. In two years time when he is fully matured he will simply be ridiculous.

Did you miss the left foot volley and the ball to Rooney for our best chance? Ridiculous comments.

Nonsense. He's comfortably our best player.

Hah, maybe you're right and I just got caught up with that one minute where he gave the ball away three or four times! I thought he was a bit more laboured when driving us forward than he's been earlier, but that could be down to Palace sitting so deep and us lacking some pace tonight.

Still, regardless he's obviously delivering the goods, and that's all that matters!

Strange time to make such a comment. He's been really good this half.
He's been superb. Such a complete player not sure you're watching.

Watch him this half. Watch his lax passes to Ibra but Ibra is too scared to shout at him in case he cries. Watch the opposing team pass around him. Watch him gallop around the pitch and yet do very little. Watch him dawdle. Watch him pick the wrong pass. He'll be a good player in 3 years time.

Seems like you have an agenda. Good luck.

As much as I love him, and as great as he is, all I ever see him do is moan at everyone. He looks like he's throwing a strop half the time.
