Look what happens when we actually have more than one person in the box, nice to see that lad score again.

 

thanks mate, really good stream

The way this Rashford boy finds space in the box makes me think how well he'd play with Martial. Pity he'll be dropped as soon as Rooney is fit though.

Remember when arsenal thought they could win the league? 

Rather them than Spurs or City. Just hope Leicester can keep it up though. 

[AlwaysBeClosing]

How is Ramsey still on the pitch? Great game but utter nonsense. 

[spork]

Best thing LVG has done!

[gospvg]

 

lol that was brilliant by Van Gaal

[Bleeders]

Play the kids every week. Great performance from them. Didn't expect Arsenal to show such a lack of impetus, but they appeared to revert to type.

 

Take nothing away from our lads, cracking performance and we've been very watchable over the last couple games.

[Mr Do 71]

Rashford destroys the Arsenal. 

[AlwaysBeClosing]

I actually enjoyed a game for the first time in a long while, couldn't stay awake for the last few games but this was a great show.  Happy to see Januzaj get on the pitch alongside the reserves, clear out the injured lot in the summer please.

We've got a lot of pretty good young players at the moment. Perhaps we should build the team around them rather than spending hundreds of millions on fairly average players who don't actually give a shit.

[Bleeders]

Rooney best not waltz back into the team when he's fit. 

 

Memphis had another good game I thought. 

[ckny]

Three win in a week, 11 goals scored. Not bad lads.

[feltmonkey]

It's a bit of a worry that Mourinho wouldn't give these young players a chance.

[ryodi]

Injuries are the only reason LvG has.

Seems to be working well for Spurs.

one thing that has had me wondering this week, is why he was persisting with borthwick-jackson at left back, when riley lookeed far more comfortable, and better on the ball, and quite clealy today, fosu-menseh (?) looked even better!?

 

But christ, rooney dont have a place for me anymore...

[gospvg]

Lol this is a funny vine

Fosu-Mensah fucked up bad with one of his first touches, he doesn't look better.

How good has Memphis been lately? After dominating in midweek, he had to adjust his game against Arsenal and yet still impressed. 
 

 

 

[Baring]

That is just awesome skill. Great result today. Come on Leicester!  

[Liamness]

Came away thinking I'd rather see Rashford stay in the middle and have Martial back on the left when Rooney's fit again. He really did look fantastic. Obviously showed in midweek that he can menace defences with his pace, and be very clinical with his finishing. What he showed today was that he can aso hold up the ball, run at players, bring others into play... very promising really. Memphis had some good flashes too but wasn't always great without the ball unfortunately.

 

Was in the Stretford End today for the first time, a colleague has season tickets and couldn't go. Will try not to rub it in their faces too much on Monday, today was the most fun I've had watching a football match in years.

I thought Mensah showed promise.

We've had so many false dawns over the past couple of seasons, but that was a pretty fantastic result for us. Add me to the list of people who don't want to see Rooney come straight back into the team when fit.

[DC Lemon]

This isn't a false dawn. LVG still needs to go at the end of the season. But I'm glad he's managing to scrape back a bit of credibility before it happens.

 

And I do want to see Rooney come straight back into the team. Then I want to see him break Charlton's record ASAP so he can be shipped to China in the summer.

[Bleeders]

More news coming out Spain that Mourinho has signed a pre-contract agreement with us. Believe it when I see it.

 

The young lads give us the energy we've been sorely lacking. We had players running into the box. Young Rashford jumped on his opportunities and took both his goals well. Tim Fosu-Mensah looks an absolute physical beast though. I had heard he'd been compared to a young Rio; strong in the tackle, pacy, reads the game well etc.

 

It wouldn't surprise me to see a few of these lads cement their position in the team in a few years, hopefully helping us to win trophies. LVG will no doubt take the credit for that (as he did when he was at Bayern, giving Muller his first start), but Warren Joyce deserves just as much credit if that comes to pass.

[ckny]

Fosu-Mensah starts, Martial is back, Rashford retains his place

 

What is this strange feeling? I feel... Excited?

[Gabzy]

Depay back to his usual shit self then!

[Guest]

City 2 behind at Liverpool almost certainly means we won't win this match.

[Gabzy]

Lucky not to be 3 goals down. DDG must be so sick of saving their arses all the time. 

 

And it all sounded so promising on paper... *sigh*
