He was perfectly set to smash it in with his right. Backheeling it was a fecking shocking decision, but it's all forgotten now. MoM by far.

Pogba playing narrower and basically being another Midfielder is what won us this game.
If he goes replacing him will be massive.
Jose wanted Paul sent off. Probably cause he was having nightmares about him.

A motivated, in form Pogba is a sight to behold. Just a class on his own
If he is committed to the club and wants to stay, i'd love to keep him, but honestly, as good as he is on his day im done with the drama and the half arsed performances where he barely even looks bothered.

I make that about 15 good performances to his last poor performance with a couple of decent games coming back from injury.
Still all will be forgotten by the usual dimwits the next time he has a poor game...he simply isn’t allowed any.

World class performance. Performances like these has been more common this season.
Not to me. He could have swung on it, but it was slightly behind. It would not have been easier, for any footballer with decent ability, to swing at it than backheeling it. You can’t even physically attempt to back heel a ball that is in front of you!
He was great today.
Enjoyed hearing The Toxic one still criticising him after the game

back to his proper best
Nah will be forgotten about with the countless other brilliant games.
He was excellent today. When he’s on top form he’s unplayable, basically impossible to dispossess. Really hope he signs a new deal because he’ll be very difficult to replace.
Also, the talk is of him playing in the second half, but he was robbed of a brilliant assist in the first half by an incompetent ref.
Would have to be Grealish to replace him and a new starting DM as well.
Nah the ball was behind him
To be fair, Jose is perfectly entitled to feel PP could have seen a red there. I can understand why he wasn’t sent off, but he’s caught Aurier cleanly there and it could have gone either way.He was great today.

Beast of a performance. Looked every bit world class in that free role.
Moreover, him playing well makes the team better and the team playing better makes him look good. Sometimes what's asked of him is just impossible.
Aye. It would be impossible to replace him like for like.
Exactly. And my fear is this club never replaces it's best players leaving under the Glazers.
I'd say our summer plans would barely change wether we sell or keep Pogba. And that's a massive problem.
My favourite player on the planet St the moment. No other player is as rounded as him and can do everything he can.
I didn't really know what position he played as the game went on, and I mean that in a good way. He was smartly picking up different pockets and transitioning defence to attack, swapping around with Bruno or Rashford and interchanging with pretty much everyone.
I now hope pogba stay with us to win the league next season. Ole has figured out how to bring his best. He seems a lot more matured as a person as well. He has become a real treasure to have.
I know but as much as I enjoy watching Paul, a football team is also about balance and he's not an easy player to fit in, tactically.
He was brilliant. Just a different player in that free role.
Class performance from a classy player. If that backheel attempt had gone in would've been perfect.
Top top performance. Absolutely ran the show. Been a long time since we saw such a dominant performance from him.
If we make the right signings this summer, who knows we may actually get the best out of him after all
Brilliant today Paul Pogba!!!
Would have been easier to give more power behind the effort had it been a normal shot. Pogba was incredible today but I agree with the view that his effort shouldn't have been a back heel. In fact Ole said this to him right after the final whistle. Of course he could have still missed.
Club has a massive job on its hands replacing him.
I thought it was setup perfectly for a bicycle kick but not many are wired to try it
Maybe him coming off the left and drifting into the centre is the way to use him? Let McFred do the running to defend behind him and then get the ball into him.
Completely agree but they already have an easy excuse to fall back on with the VdB signing, which they will just say was the replacement all along. Now I’m a fan of Donny and have been one of the ones crying out for him to get more game time all season but I don’t believe we can fill the Pogba shaped hole with him alone if he does happen to leave the club.
He could have hit it ‘normally’, but he’d need to have swivelled and come round it a bit.
Indeed, as did I. You cannot possibly try and backheel or bicycle kick a football if it in front of you!
Now that was worldclass performance. Just brilliant.
Best player on the pitch today. I don't know what he'll do this summer but I don't want the club losing its best players and Pogba is one of the best.
I think with backheeling he had to wait for the ball longer and gave defender more time to get in block.
I think he'll stay, hopefully of course but I don't think anyone can afford him anyway. I expect him to sign a new contract in summer, probably 3 years contract or something.
And to shoot it "normally" he'd have needed to anticipate the ball's trajectory. Those things happen so fast, a decision is made in a split second. I don't blame him at all for the backheel, it shows invention for me
