Agreed. Can we hope PSG run into FFP problems and we get Mbappe from them??

feck me, I honestly don’t know anymore what people expect from him. It’s crazy. He’s been terrific today.
When's the last time we had one
Don't think we've ever had one
Spot on. Honestly I'd be making sure all our attackers watch this and understand that constantly putting pressure on the defenders will pay off when you have Pogba in the side.
Him and France have looked better with N'zonzi on the pitch. Kante was getting pummelled. So that theory has holes
Pure class
Despite what the media say, he had a very good season with United also. 6 goals and 11 assists I think? And he was out injured for periods.

Our guy 
Pogba has had an excellent tournament. One of the few players in contention for the Golden Ball.
I think it's fair to say that Mourinho hasn't got a clue how to get the best out of him. He has been immense for France .
What a pass
Yeah the ridiculous narrative that this is a Pogba we've not seen at United needs to stop.
There's nothing he's done in this WC that he hasn't done or bettered in a United shirt.

He's had a great season for us too. Not sure where this is coming from.
This is bizarre
Totally agree.
He’s been really professional and exemplary with his defensive work, positioning and experience too. He’s the one orchestrating this defensive block, shouting at Mbappe to get back into positions, pressing at times and dropping deep to cover at others. He’s also been making brilliant clearances and interceptions that have gone completely unpraised by the press - some key ones in the first half here too. Even more impressive as N’Golo Kante suffered one of the worst games of his career alongside him.
Away from the great through balls, assists, goals and headline actions, it’s that work that stands out most too.
Couldn’t play in a midfield 2 they said... On the cusp of winning the World Cup while doing it and bossing it.
@FootballHQ still think this is a "punt"?
Scholesesque
Erm, okkkkk
Not at all.
Kante has sat, regardless of his performance. Matic would be taking the ball off the CBs and trying to pass up to the front players like Pogba. Pogba has also sat but picked his moments to get forward and looks far more free to do so knowing theres players behind him.
FantasticThis is bizarre
Pogba has been great. Doesn't look quite as dominant against other great players, but still is succeeding.
I expect his defensive presence is due to working with Mourinho.

I genuinely didn't know who hit it forward when I posted before so it wasn't honestly a dig at Pogba.
If you check back other posts I think Pogba's had a pretty good tournament on the whole. Was defending him in the Australia game at the start when he was getting stick and think his overall level has been strong throughout tournament.
He needs to fine that level for his club next season instead of the wildly fluctuating performances he's had in last two seasons.

He's played 6 games for France and about 40 for us last year.
Imagine if we only judged pogba in September /August that's what is happening
MOTM today?
I’m glad he’s produced this with Kante off the pitch. Kante has been credited not only for his own performance but also Pogbas.
He’s been France’s best player this WC.

What a tournament he's having and what a player!
It amazes me that one of our players is having an amazing game and about to win the world cup, and some people's only thought is "right, how can I crowbar this into a moan about something to do with the club"

Has everything to be best midfielder in the world.
There’s some on here that seem to hate him. As soon as he has a poor game they come out with their rubbish. As teeny bopper Love Island watching girls would say “haters gona hate”.
He is up against modric and rakitic today. How good does a midfield need to be?!
I'd day it's due to Deschamps. He hasn't turned these kind of defensively diligent performances for us. Actually getting him to stop playing like a kid
Despite that miss, man of the match I would say.
He was the best in a midfield of 2 next to Kante.
But I guess he will play as the creative mid for us in a 433.

Against Chelsea at home 16/17, and Ajax in the EL final come to mind immediately as that.
Has had a brilliant world cup all things considered.
He had a great world cup. Proving he is world class.
Some will still criticise.
