The old Man Utd Thread

[feltmonkey]

At least we've shown a bit of fight this half.  As we always say though - why didn't we start this positively?

I suppose the sooner we’re out of the CL, the sooner they can sack Mourinho. Every cloud and that.

 

Not banking on the europa league final to qualify this year then?

Brilliant.

indubitably !!

apparently we are playing football today!...well...lets use that term loosely eh!

 

[Gabzy]

Glad Lukaku’s been dropped. Hope we make it count.

[Adrock]

That a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3?

Probably 433 with Mata as his amazing right winging self!

 

 

[Adrock]

That's what was puzzling me, isn't he better central? Behind the striker?

[5R7]

and heres me thinking we were going with a 4312 lol

[5R7]

we done a goal!

It's even better when you imagine how angry Souness must get when he does it. 

[Loik V credern]

It's impressive how quickly he reacts to score, Pickford's save is awesome as well. Two things more difficult than the run up he agonizes over. Doesn't seem to wait for the keeper like Balotelli.

And a second from open play. Hoorah!!

[5R7]

interesting init, pogba, in a proper mid 3...and he looks good again!...shocking...

[spork]

Nice to see Rashford, Martial, Mata and Pogba all moving around and linking up. Makes a change from how Lukaku has been this season where he barely seems to actually move. I guess it also helps not trying to get Matic, Fellaini and Mctominay all into the same side.

Classic Tony!

[Loik V credern]

Mata is a born footballer, he should always play. (i'm not watching the game, i don't know how he's doing)

[spork]

Big Rom coming on! Let's hope he has made the most of his rest.

[Guest]

Bloody smalling. He was going nowhere! 

[5R7]

came from pogba fucking around though, but yeah, smalling shouldn't have gone to ground there!

[spork]

Rojo 

 

Nothing can go wrong now!

[5R7]

rojo is coming on...so how long till he gives a pen away? edit: smalling staying on...

[teddymeow]

Implosion imminent?

[5R7]

it really started going down hill, when lukaku came on! the swift movement  just went!

[Bleeders]

Lukaku needs to lay off the weights or pies. His mobility, or lack thereof, offers nothing. 

 

His contribution since he came on was to point furiously and initiate a slow jog at times.

Absolute banter
