He still looks like he’s feeling the effects of the illness to me. Or were you being sarcastic?
He's the opposite of well rounded and versatile. He struggles to fit into any role properly.
Yeah bro should stick to coming off bench for now. Bro really isn't fit but decent spell tbh
Yeah, he still doesn't look fully fit to me.
The way he pinged that ball off the Brighton player for the goal was sublime. Ridiculous piece of vision and skill.
He was puffing after some sprints at the end, sure, but it was refreshing to see him make them compared to the weekend.
It's obviously easier when you know you have 30 minutes, but today looked like the occasionally spotted 'Pogba with a point to prove'; that seemed to be the biggest difference to me.
Looked great today, still a bit leggy though. Fred looked great though so I wouldn't mind seeing him start the next couple until Pogba's fully fit again.
Better today. I’d consider him coming off the bench at the weekend though. Don’t think he has 90 in him.
Van De Beek definitely deserves to start.

Much better today. Good freekick even if the deflection helped a little bit.
Hopefully finds his form soon.

No, but I wouldn't read too much in to it.
Very nice cameo, tiered defenders can't get close to him.
Good to see Pogba looking more like his old self tonight. The free kick may have taken a deflection but he deserved the luck.
Was always a confidence player. Hope he can build on this.
For all the talk, we really need him this season.

Fletcher speaking truth. Gets slated way too often and too harshly.
Hope he plays on Sunday and ups his performance level. Great player on his day he’s just rarely on it. Really hope he turns up on Sunday if playing
Bright and breezy cameo from Pogba. Am glad he seemed to enjoy himself and that he will gain some confidence from his deflected free kick attempt.
perhaps he should come off the bench against spurs as he’ll make a bigger impact while his fitness improves.
please please please let this be the start for his best season at the club. We all want to love him.

Good cameo, he's not looked fit all season so these are the games we should be easing him into. Lovely freekick to top it off.
Still showing that he got the goal but was definitely own goal. Hope he keeps it but can't se it.
Looked more his proper self tonight. Amazed they’ve given him that goal whilst Maguire lost his though. It was going well wide before the deflection. Guess the PL are more stingy than the EFL.
Put two midfielders behind him and he'll automatically look better.
Hopefully he builds up some momentum
Would Bruno be one of the players playing deeper to accommodate?
A diamond could be a solution to fill the gaps we usually have in the midfield with VDB and Bruno interchanging their positions.
So wait, you wouldn't Bruno on the tip of that diamond?
He's on the tip but interchanging in the game with VDB who does his best work as we've seen so far behind the striker.
Nice little cameo, seemed back to his old bouncy self.
Delighted for him to get the goal too, he looked so happy which was nice to see and the rest of the team celebrated with him - he's clearly very popular with the squad.
Lets hope this kicks him on to be the Pogba we know he can be.

He is so much more comfortable further up the pitch. He actually loses the ball less and plays generally much more quickly and sharp when further up the pitch imo.
Why was it much better?
It was going seven yards wide.
It was a crap free kick. Going wide, and nowhere near high enough to get over the wall! I’m not holding it against him at all. He did lots of other good things today. Hopefully gives him some confidence.
pleased with his cameo.
He could have certainly used an oxygen mask, after 10 minutes. 
hence a Diamond midfield to protect him (and Bruno)!
hence a Diamond midfield to protect him (and Bruno)!Very good goal, we lack direct free kick goals badly. Good cameo all in all, but he is not fit yet, I’d rather use him off the bench on Sunday
If we're being honest, it was technically off-target when it left Pogba's boot and therefore an own-goal by Brighton.
But Pogba needs the confience so I'm glad he got given the goal. Hopefully he can build on this.

Has he actually been given it?
It wasn’t just technically off target, it was going nowhere bloody near! If he’s been given it, great. Hopefully it’s a little boost that will help him.
How on earth did Pogba get given that goal?
Probably going about 5 yards wide but happy they gave it to him.

Yeah, I’m really pleased for him too. He regularly annoys the shit out of me with his performances but I’ll always have a soft spot for him. Impossible not to, after following his career from his first game for our academy. It would be fantastic if he can be a consistent top performer this season. I won’t hold my breath but hope springs eternal...
His twitter post certainly hints at the fact COVID has still been impacting him. He was much better today but still seemed a bit off.

More good minutes and hopefully getting back more fitness. A good confidence boosting strike that ended up with a goal. Again, 'up near goal somewhere and we'll sort out the rest behind' should be his role. Starter or off the bench.
But he celebrated as though it was a class winning goal. Watched all his play in replay tonight. Strange that when he passes he always watches the player/ball and not a space to attack the (possible) cross. Noticed that alot in recent matches. He doesnt seem to look to get in the box.
Cool elbow+arm armor he's wearing, as does his cool performance.
Should wear it more often from now on.
