Something about him, he can read someone's defending ability. He can absolutely humiliate defenders if he wants to. It's just that he can't do that regularly in midfield.
When in that position, it's an absolute nightmare for defenders.

Him and Bruno with Matic holding should be the only option vs Sheffield United now. If we start quick, Pogba and Bruno could have an absolute field day against their defence too
needs assurances of better players. Paul will be tired soon playing with some of these wastersWoodward better throw whatever bags are necessary to keep him at both him and Raiola
Paul motherfecking Labile Pogba
Soon? Haha he already is
I think we should go more attacking with Greenwood too. No need for so many midfielders against Sheffield I think.
Exactly. Quality over quantity or we'll never cement ourselves in Champions League again, simple as that.
The very reluctant praise the commentator gave after that brilliant ball to Rashford says it all.
If it was KDB he'd be waxing lyrical.

Think it was a good decision to bring him from the bench today - Kane and Rashford were both non-existent and the last time Pogba was started after a period of injury, he ended up getting injured again and out for longer. Pogba came on and made the difference. Would have liked to have seen him play much longer but he should start the next game with Bruno.
It was one game guys, let’s not get carried away. He had a great attitude today I hope he keeps that up and it wasn’t just for Mourinho.
Oles instructions To pogba.
Man Utd Third > No nonsense
Middles Third > Quick Release
Final Third > let the magic happen

His hesitations, body feints coupled with light feet and technique is second to none. Everyone's been saying about forming a base behind him because if we can get those turns and moments in midfield, he would be facing the opposition's pitch and making dangerous transitions, which open up the game.
Id go with this too.
Every big club around Europe knows this and tries to stockpile talent as a result yet so many of our fans seem to prefer having just 1 or 2 quality players and letting them try to carry a side. It's never worked that way, even in England the successful sides like Liverpool and Citeh all have a wealth of quality necessary to compete on all fronts
The most successful sides in the clubs history under Fergie were stocked with quality in each position, not just 1 or 2 standouts
I think it was right to start him on the bench.... Not because of any of this needs to earn his place stuff, but Tottenham are still a good side and this was the first game in a good few months, so you've gotta take some precautions.
That being said, his 30mins was exceptional and it gives us a positive idea of what him and Bruno could do against lesser sides.
If we can press high up the pitch and mark players, with both Pogba and Bruno pressing and taking up good defensive positions, we can press high and effectively and this would mean having two players like this on the pitch less risky.
I don't think people question Pogba's quality, it's his desire sometimes, but if we can get him signed up, motivated and with players around him, this team is going in the right direction.
Sancho on the right would be a great piece of the jigsaw.
Jury still out on Martial. I just don't know how effectively he can lead the line. He does go missing at times

More like it's from last 3-4 years. Yes he had his ups and downs but Pogba is always one of our best player.
Compared to watching Fred and McT, Pogba playing is like witnessing an unicorn. Ridiculous talent and his quality we need.
Really? After Fred's performance today?
Don't see the need for 4 mods versus Sheffield. Go with what we had today but Pogba and Greenwood start. Probably Matic too
He's obviously world class. The issue has always been whether or not he is committed to stay.
Hope he starts next game.

Listening to OGS post match, it certainly doesn’t sound like he’s around to stay. Either that or he’s trying to play down his praises to keep him on his toes.
Pogba was really good today and whats more, his chemistry is already showing with Bruno
Absolutely. Klopp sold above 25 players in his 4 years at Liverpool and made space for quality, while we still discussing futures of players like Jones and Lingard in 2020.
For some reason we're also very slow in making our bench consisting of players with impact and that also hurt us a lot in last years.
Great cameo! Keep it up. I've moaned repeatedly about him, but he turned the game tonight.

talk about jump to conclusionsThe bar seems to on the floor with our fan base. “Bruno & Pogba can’t play together” No idea what happened to our standards.
Impact hammer?
Yep, which is a pretty extraordinary bonus to have from a Midfielder
Under Ole we’ve been good against the top sides but dropped far too many points against teams in the bottom half of the table. I just don’t see that continuing now we have Pogba and Fernandes. So that’s good.
Was that the one on Sky when he calls him world class?
He's not bad is he?
Yeah... needs to start every match now. Our best player by a far way. If he and Bruno turn it on in the games to come the way they did in the second half, we could legitimately pick up maximum points for the remaining 8 games.

Not sure who we play behind Pogba & Bruno though (which has the potential to be fairly porous). Matic is the only proper #6 at the club, but I'm not sure he has the legs to cover for two #8/#10 hybrids on his own.

A class apart. That pass to Rashford fookin hell
I would probably give it to Matic. Was not happy with Fred and Mctominay today.
Bloody Pirlo-esque, I wonder who he learnt that from
I don't get the logic behind not starting him?
Fair enough the team did well without him etc but Scunthorpe United does "well" without Lionel Messi.

Sounds about right, good players will always want to play with other good players.
So excited to see more of those 2, they seemed to be on the same wavelength from the start. Can only what they might be capable of playing together week in and week out
Pogba is underrated defensively and Bruno sprints around 90 minutes every game like a mad man. Its a very good 2 in front of whoever, and its not something we have to be overly concerned about IMO.
