A lovely interview with Luke Shaw, that. He looked so happy!

[spork]

Wasn't it nice have two central defenders who can play the ball forward? 

[Mercury]

Darmian was the only one I had real concerns over and I am still not completely sure about Lindelof. Fred looks a great buy and if Shaw gets a good run of games, we should finally see him fulfil his potential. Still Lingard, Matic etc. to come back too. Lots to be positive about.

[Mr Do 71]

The weekend gets off to a good start. 

 

 

[5R7]

nice win for the youngsters there haha

 

todays line up looks alrite! shaw still in the team, and young at RB

[Nicky]

[feltmonkey]

That was a really classy finish. Lovely touch.

[5R7]

well, this is abysmal init!

[feltmonkey]

Oh God we've self destructed.

[5R7]

 

[5R7]

shaw with an assist! then big Rom!

[5R7]

bailey has been fucking awful today! he should be hooked!

[feltmonkey]

If we'd gone in 2-1 down I'd still be reasonably confident, but that third one is a killer.

 

What the hell are our defence playing at today?

[5R7]

perhaps Rui Faria did a lot more than we knew, since he left we aint looked good at all!

[feltmonkey]

We came back from two down away to City last season, so a comeback is still possible. Jose probably feels like he needs six substitutions though.

Nothing! That's the problem.

 

Mourinho angling for a pre-Christmas pay off.

I just want to see confident, attacking football again.

 

Mourinho doesn't seem to have a clue. 

[5R7]

...pereira off...wha!? mata yes,  he did nothing, and lingard will add pace.

but, bailey still on the pitch? i mean...i guess with he only option being smalling...ok then...

 

[Loik V credern]

United are playing as if they're inhibited by severe lag when playing pro evo online.

[feltmonkey]

We needed to make substitutions that will get us back in the game. Smalling isn't going to score the goals to do that. Mata had a shocking half by his standards, and Pereira hadn't done anything much at all in an attacking or defensive sense.

 

What we need is for Pogba to stop pissing about (he did Bailly no favours with that crossfield pass to him on the edge of our area a few minutes ago) Fred to stop panicking, Martial to stop sulking and start playing, and probably De Gea to make a few great saves because the defence aren't going to stop them.

 

The worst thing is we've looked dreadful for the first ten minutes of the second half.

[5R7]

see, you mention fred panicking, with pereira didnt, which is why i cant understand taking off the better playing of the two. and yeah pogba needs t oget on the ball, and go forwards with it!

 

young has been atrocious at RB. even darmian looked better last week!

 

...and here comes lump it forward!

[teddymeow]

Is Pogba deliberately playing badly to try and force the is it / isn't it move to Barca?

[feltmonkey]

Again, I can see the reasoning behind bringing Fellaini on for Martial but fuck that's a depressing substitution. Fergie would have bought on an attacker for a defender and overwhelmed their defence. Brighton haven't had much trouble containing us so far, but we haven't changed shape at all. It's still 4-3-3 with two deep midfielders, essentially.

[5R7]

ya know, i think shaw has looked good again, he actually looks our fittest player on the pitch!

we are really missing matic and big bad Tony V though!
