if you run with a man you follow him till the other person goes with him, he never done that. Bailey should have been more switched on but Pogba also has to as well.

Playing like he gives a feck finally.
His passing was sloppy as feck in the first half but he worked hard all game and stepped up his game in the second half, his goal reminded me of the one below on a similar rainy night vs. Wigan in the 08/09 title winning season.
Maybe he just can’t get motivated for a Top 6 finish...but with a sniff of the title he has switch on!
Watching him play right now, makes memories of the majority of the last 4 years incredibly frustrating.
feck you Pogba. Where were you all this time?

Great Goal Pogba
Please win us the league and you can go with our blessings in the summer

If a pro player can't give it all when his team is on the Top, he might as well just quit football.
Spot on mate, agree with every single word, but I don't want him to leave, we should build a team around him.
He is the ultimate scapegoat, even when he puts a decent performance, there are people calling for his head.
His treatment by some fans reminds me of Nani actually.
He killed a hoof ball 30 yards in the air to start it off and there was no mention of it at all. Crazy.
On the ball he's class even if he was very poor in the first half imo. Defensively though, I don't he was effective enough for me. It's not a lack of effort or awareness but the intent and execution. He does well to hover in the right positions but he doesn't really put his foot in or get goal side fast enough. There were more than a few occasions where the Fulham players got an easy pass or dribble out; I'm aware it's a fundamental issue as we're just not switced on when it comes to pressing or winning second balls etc as a team.
It's still a very valid criticism of his when he's in a midfield two but it's also true there's not a player who possesses Pogba's ability and is defensively robust. Maybe I'm being harsh.
It doesn't really matter though, the goal is what sets him apart from anyone else tonight.
Shop window Pogba is world class, now if we could convince him the windows is actually open all year round..
Not after one game ...he’s been on track every since his agent gobbed off. Big game player when he wants to be.
His agent gobbed off? Explain please
Try GoogleHis agent gobbed off? Explain please
It just says Pogba is unhappy at the club. Should move on to better things etc. What happened don't be difficult. Pogba was great, great goal I went crazy, love him when he shoots I've been asking for it.Try Google
He’s in the sort of form where you wish he’d just sign a new contract and stay. There would be something a little deflating if he were to leave in the moment in which we'd finally started to put it together. I suspect he will leave, mind you, and have done for some time.
I'd say you misread my postYou guys still running around with this "building a team around" nonsense?
You're supposed to build a strong team period. Not around any particular players. Most elite teams have quality all around thus they better sustain their form when core players are injured or out of form. "Building team around" is such an archaic concept, that I feel it only ever gets used to make it seems as though one is saying something substantial when really they're just waffling.
Not bad games, he did have some, but games where he isn't the best players in the league as we pay him, or games where we couldn't improve upon him in the double pivot position
For 350k a week as part of a midfield 2 we can improve on him in most games, simple enough for me
Most arguments will be around playing him in a different position.. ok well ole doesn't seem to want to play a different system most of the time
We need to build a team around him and let him express himself. We did it for Bruno.
We have the rest of the season to see if he flourishes but really he hasn't been consisrent for most of his senior career, he is the best paid player in the league and wants to leave very obviously .. I'm hoping fans don't get too attached to him again and accept we will probably be better with the eight replacement. The only downside is that the club have been so bad at getting oles players that we aren't likely to actually sigh a suitable replacement / improvement
He doesn’t earn £350k a week.
And he is amongst the best midfielders in the league anyway.
He's about to do a Nani backflip during celebration but Bruno prevented him. Sell Bruno, play Lingard.
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but Ole said in the post match interview with the Norwegian broadcaster that he had gotten Pogba to do some extra running in training, might explain some of his resurge in form aswell
Not even at the club. But nevermind.
Yep it was a great goal. Seems since his arrival in 2016 he’s scored more goals from outside the box than any other player in the prem.
That’s only United players. And tbh, like half of those have come in the last month or so!
My bad, thought it was all players ...ah well it was a great goal anyway
the equaliser at west ham, the winner at brnley and fulham. the only stain on that record is the Leipzig goal, if he had come on sooner it might have led to 3-3. i think he's been the best player since the leipzig game (or west ham, whichever came first)
Bruno was preventing him injuring himself.
This is what people forget that Bruno being signed added to the quality already at the club. And don't forget that it was Lingard who lost his place in the team which in itself improved us due to a complete lack of productivity from him. So as long as we signed someone who was considerably better than Lingard (not difficult) we were always gonna improve considerably. And if Diallo does the same on the RW then we'll improve considerably on that side of the pitch too.
Put some respect on Pogba
This is rather disingenuous considering he's actually had performances that have eclipsed these last few ones at united
it was x100 better than that goal
Interesting fact for those who say he hasn't replicated his Juventus form:
According to his wiki page he currently has 28 goals in 124 league appearances - exactly the same as he got for Juve.

People have some romantic and perhaps nostalgic vision of this one man wrecking ball winning trophies alone, it doesn’t work like that. If it did, why did Bruno not drag Sporting to first place in Portugal? Bruno has made our team better, which we needed it to be. Even the majority of Pogba’s critics on the caf had called him our ‘best player’ for years - but it wasn’t enough.
We lined up at Anfield last season with a front 6 of Fred, Matic, Pereira, James, Williams and Martial. It’s fecking shocking - we desperately needed to lift the quality, and Bruno has contributed to that, as has other key players simply getting fit and getting older.
No matter how much ‘dragging’ Bruno has done - he would not have dragged the 20 year old version of Rashford or the 21 year old version of Martial anywhere. We had bet big on young talent who were not ready a few years ago regardless, yet were given key roles in our team. Others like Sanchez, Mkhitaryan and co who were brought in to deliver immediately had failed. Pogba was never going to ‘drag’ that team anywhere - especially as he was still young and developing himself. He wasn’t ready to do that, and the players around him were not ready to be dragged. But we believed in their talent, and Bruno has come into the squad at a good time where the profile of our better players is stronger - and we have added a few more of the right profile like Maguire and Fred who can perform now.
People wanted a 23-25 year old Pogba to drag a 21 year old Rashford, 21 year old Martial, Mkhi, Young, Jones, Rojo and co to titles. Bruno has the mid-twenties version of a lot of our young talents, and some better leaders around him too. He also has a more mature and better version of Pogba to help, as opposed to the younger version who was more erratic.
It’s worth remembering when everyone is scratching their heads looking for what agenda is causing Pogba to play well that he is 27 now and also entering his own prime as a footballer. Perhaps he is just getting better and is maturing?!
Would the real Paul Pogba please stand up?
not sure who this guy is
not sure who this guy is
Sorry but this is unfair. He's underperformed for years but people knew he was capable of this, hence the massive frustrations. Now he's playing well, people are giving him credit where it's due. That's exactly how it should be. If they didn't give him credit where it's due, people would be complaining about that as well (although quite rightly in that case).
Was excellent second half, not a bad footballer when on form at all.
Agree wholeheartedly with you bro.
But like i've said in the past, we need both Pogba and Bruno in tandem because it makes us a more dangerous team going forward and I look forward to seeing both play together because their roles are very different and both provide their own unique strengths which is important for us.
Pogba is responsible for a player making a run in behind our cbs? Some of you guys are ridiculous
I'd expect more to be honest for 100m. Maybe a hatricm against this level opposition and some nice skills
