[Ødegaard]

He's been extremely good so far.
Breaking up play, kept the ball, created from deep and helped us keep the ball and turn defensive situations into offensive ones and his passing as been fantastic, as well as doing well in the air.
If this is how we can expect him to play, I'll be thrilled!

 

[Earthquake]

He has no fear when being closed down, which is fantastic.

 

[Minimalist]

Was initially a bit unimpressed with how deep he is but let's face it, he's fantastic in both defence and attack. He's playing very well.

 

[AndyJ1985]

Obviously he's not done anything sensational in his first 45 minutes, but you can why we paid so much for him. He oozes quality. Physically a beast and technically superb.

 

[Peter89]

He's getting into the game by the minute. Good signs.

 

[Ødegaard]

Man of the first half for me.

 

[Tiber]

Enough said

 

[shaggy]

Looks fecking class.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

That's dribble was unreal

 

[UnitedBoy]

Best player on the pitch.Nothing has passed him

 

[Ainu]

He looks surprisingly sharp already. Started off slowly but grew in the game. He's a monster on the ball. You can already see he's going to be great here.

 

[Barca84]

Best player on the pitch if you ask me.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Feels like he was responsible for every time we won back possession. How many interceptions and successful tackles did he get in that first half? Seemed like fecking loads.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Think he'll be even better with some pace in front of him. He likes feeding those through balls to fast players.

 

[dichinero]

PP is BMO!

Paul 'Gascoigne' Pogba.

Pazza

 

[GE]

Best player on the pitch if you ask me.

He's been fantastic.

 

[mu4c_20le]

The time he spent in juve as served him well, totally unfazed and plays like he owns the place.

 

[ChaddyP]

A little rusty by his high standard. He will get up to speed with more games. Looks fit as feck to me

 

[Art]

The closest thing to Zizou in this generation. After years, we finally have a fecking class midfielder.

 

[Rado_N]

He's absolutely class.

He is so strong, he shields the ball and retains possession at times when most players would be trying to toe poke it to a teammate because they were under too much physical pressure.

 

[Treble]

He's bossing it. Class.

 

[CG1010]

What a fecking half! We have finally found a worthy successor to Scholes in midfield folks.

 

[Moonred]

Obvious class shows. Now need him to be sensational.

 

[roykeane19]

Damn, I wasnt too sure he was that good, so far looks like money well spent, can dribble very good, is strong, clever, and takes risks

 

[Hellboy]

Casual with the ball sometimes but he looks very very good.

 

[BlueCelery]

Clearly been the best player on the pitch. Impressive debut.

This.

 

[Woodzy]

I couldn't name a central midfielder who plays like him. He has everything.

 

[DatIrishFella]

A little bit anxious at the start but for 35-40 mins he's been

Oh my

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Superb 1st half considering the lack of training with the team and lengthy time off.

 

[crackers0seven]

Very good first half. Great to see a midfielder who doesnt take easy pass back. Beast, quality and able to bully players physically. This is exciting

 

[El Zoido]

He's quality. I cannot wait until this team has gelled and we're in form.

 

[podurban2]

Once he gets into the rythm he is going to be an absolute beast for us.

 

[Prodigal7]

Edit: someone needs to install an erection emoji or similar.

 

[SwansonsTache]

I don't think I've seen anyone shield and protect the ball as well as him for a long time. Such a strong duel player, you just get the feeling that even surrounded by two or three opponents he will somehow get away with it.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Grown into the game. Shown some nice cute passes, and has give us drive in midfield, which is what we have been lacking for a long time now. Also, his holding up of the ball is superb. Impossible to get it off him.

 

[Sunny Jim]

Half match fit and still best on the pitch
