He can do everything but finish. He was the reason we created so many chances today so I have no qualms with him.

I see a player that only plays for himself. Look at his body language, walking like a gangsta thinking he's all cool in his rap video.

I know he was tired, i know he's young, but that last 10/15 minutes was completely unacceptable from Pogba

I like him a lot. He is capable of doing some truly outstanding things, like he showed at times tonight... But sometimes he just does some really dumb/ annoying things, and you can't help but be frustrated with him.

I thought he was one of our better players tonight. Seemed to show a bit more desire and effort tonight and against Chelsea, and his passing is fantastic.

So wasteful in front of goal, if he could improve that he'd be unbelievable.

Yeah pretty much.

I wish he'd stop using 'I'm a midfielder' as an excuse though. If you're going to get yourself into those positions then you're going to be criticised if you don't take them.

He is really frustrating though, so I can see why he polarises opinions. Reminds me of a young Ronaldo in that respect.

He won 9 tackles today, more than double of second highest player and people think he is lazy.

He was good during the 90 minutes but he was shit in extra time.

Still an amazing player. By far the most talented player in the squad.

Don't let the body language fool you.

He was really good tonight but right now he wouldn't hit a sea from the boat.

Decent enough, but his performances are still more in keeping of a £15-20 million player than a player worth almost five times that.

He should be thriving in these atmospheres and although he produces some moments of quality at key moments he is nowhere to be found. Must do better.

Don't know everyone's on about. He was very good today. He did his job, our forwards bar rashford were very wasteful.

A base camp for the last, final assault
Three good performances in a row, three times people have called him poor immediately after the match. Haters gonna hate.

Don't think his finishing was especially bad as our strikers were far more wasteful. Great bicycle kick attempt on the Rashford cross.

Some of us may be too hard of him but some of you expect way too little of the most expensive player in the world. He's been a disappointment this season. How big of a disappointment is a matter of personal taste.

Fair game. He could have scored 2, other players should have scored many more thanked to chances he helped creating.
People in here judge him as a super star talisman who does everything at the highest level. I'm not saying it's not fair and if he wants to win the Ballon d'or like he said playing in his position, he'll have to get to that level. But he is now already great box to box midfielder who manages to do well in a bit of everything, only for the price tag and the glamour around him affecting people's view negatively.

Everything went through him tonight. 99% of midfield players don't see that pass he made for the first goal.

His athleticism is one of his biggest traits, hes a beast in midfield throughout.

Yes he makes the wrong decisions now and again, and he's not a great finisher. But he's the main man in this team, no doubt about it.

His finishing is poor but he's not a striker, the range and creativity of his passing is first class and he creates so much for us with his vision, he even put a lot in defensively today despite the fact he's clearly not cut out for it.

A superb passer. Finishing let him down tonight though, looks like his confidence in front of the goal is non-existent after all the missed chances. Lot of effort tonight, he was fouled probably 20 times with no free kicks given.

His all round game was very good.

He can't finish though, needs massive improvement in that area.

When he keeps it simple he's so good and today he made it simple, didn't complicate, didn't try to do too much by himself. He was our midfield general.

One of the better performers tonight. People that are complaining about his contribution in the overtime need to remember he's playing non stop since the last season with Juventus.
