    2nd half must have been really nice. Saw the first half, was a pretty crap game.

    Zlatan coming on after a 7 month injury that would supposedly end his career was great.

    Better Zlatan never.

    Not really. Was just bored. Can't watch football for 6 hours straight anymore so if there is a game that bores me, I'll turn it off.

    And I wanted to see Mikel Merino play but I'm guessing he was injured?

    So when I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how clinical Pogba is to this season people scoffed.

    I present that game as exhibit A.

    If you ignore the first 30 minutes sure. If we hadn't conceded I'm not sure we'd have got our shit together.

    Bayern won 3-0 at home against Augsburg yesterday. Vidal with his best perfomance this season which is nice to see since he has been bad. Lewa with two nice finishes aswell. Kimmich with an outstanding assist aswell, they boy is only 22 and he is easily one of Bayerns best players this season so far!

    They played without 5 or 6 starters (depending on how you see it) and still produced a dominating victory which is nice to see!

    Battering a promoted team at home does not a world class player make.

    Dont really care who United played yesterday, but if you cant see the big differnece Pogba make in United you are just silly. We all know you dont like him at all and think he is a horrible player, but again it's pretty obvious that he makes a big differnece for United.

    Really great to have him back and it sure aint a coincidence that Lukaku scored again as soon as Pogba was back.

    He's a show pony.

    United should be battering that Newcastle team every time.
    No matter who plays.

    Gotta agree with Firebane here.

    Let me know when Pogba does it against a big team and actually scores vital goals / makes key assists, rather than scoring the 3rd goal against a promoted side with fucking Shelvey in midfield.

    A good player. Yes
    World Class? Kek. Give me a break.

    If you cant see the difference Pogba makes when he plays for United you really need to start watching the games more. United played nice and fun attacking football before his injury and now United played really well again (second half) when he comes back. Also that 3:rd goal was most likely a game winning goal so not sure what the issue was with that.

    Maybe they should, but they sure haven't been "battering" any teams since Pogba have been injured. Are you saying thats just a coincedence?

    Also Newcastle was in 10:th position (i think) when they played. Hardly a "battering" team.

    If you make the difference for a team it doesn't necessarily mean you're world class.
    Isco, for instance, is the one who kept Real Madrid going for a while and made the difference but it doesn't scream world class just yet.

    If a singular player makes the difference, I would be looking at the rest of the team rather than the one player.

    Having said that, I think Pogba is a brilliant player and I'd like to see him make the difference over multiple games before we start being overly optimistic.

    Man City is coming up and that's when we'll find out his true worth.

    Absolutely.
    Man United NEED to beat City in a few weeks time.

    We'll see how 'world class' Pogba is then.
