I just love seeing us play again and can't wait for the next match! Many times this season, when we were 1-0 up I'd want the game to hurrp up and end just so we could get the 3 points. Now, I want the games to go forever as I know we're likely to see some exciting football and score goals!

Hands up. I have been critical of Pogba in particular his attitude. However, he is now performing to his true capability.

When he plays like this he is a game changer as well as being a true leader. You can see how the players look up to him so maybe he should become the captain.

Well done to him and well done to all the team especially Rashford who is flourishing with the more attacking style.

Next target is to overtake the Goonners and challenge Chelsea.
Happy 2019 to everybody.

Ole handled that Bailly question really well.

Another great performance. I really do think we've found the component for most of our team. The striker situation is sorted, we can either see how rashford develops or use lukaku. Pogba in a 10 role may be one of, if not the best 10 in the world ( if messi is a striker). There are two real question marks, there are others but they are depth induced. 1. Who will fill that the final spot in our attack? We have Sanchez waiting in the wings, and hopefully he adds the quality and experience needed to calm our attack. If not him, we may need to buy. 2. Defensively, we clearly need at least one centre back.

Funny how he changed after that game and Jose went super defensive from the Liverpool game. Contributed to both their downfalls.
completely agree. People tend to forget certain things. Jose also had us playing some great stuff and then he loses or draws and goes super defensive

Whilst it was boring to watch, the way we dominated the game when down to 10 is indicative of the manner in which this team is rapidly moving forward. Under Mourinho, even at 4-1 up, we'd be cowering in our own half.

Bournemouth kind of gave up after first half but whatever.
Real test is just 2 games away, hope we build enough confidence till then.
Half the games in the head and it's a long time since we beat any team in the head. So it's acknowledgement from the opposition which is a good thing.

Great to see the team playing like they enjoy football again. I must admit I backed Mourinho too long, it's clear from how the players are now performing that he lost the dressing room. Glad Lukaku got a goal, we'll need him to get some confidence back if Rashford is injured.

There’s something very bittersweet about all of this. Delighted they are playing so well but it’s such a shame we are so far behind in the league. I think Pool being top is getting to me.

I defended Jose a lot as well. Sad to see

Very good performance with a couple of stupid incidents.

Defence never looked entirely foolproof, and Bailly's challenge was completely moronic, he needs to learn not to recklessly lunge in. Attacking wise it was a total change, we looked energetic, making runs and Pogba completely bossed midfield with appropriate defensive and attacking duties. Herrera needs a good run of games, he's a really fighter.

Would love to see Sanchez in this team with the movement of late, reckon we can drag ourselves further up the table, need to keep this momentum going.

Also Lukaku will have to make do with bench role for now. Happy that he scored because we need all our players to have confidence but he just can't displace Rashford on his current form.

Matic i think was excellent today. Really changed since Ole has come. Picking out runs. Vastly different from when under Mourinho.

Rashford should be the starting striker now. He's a much better all-round player than Lukaku.

We should use Lukaku in the way Mourinho used Fellaini. His pace and power would be a brilliant bench option.

Makes me sad we didn't bin Mourinho sooner. Now we're so far away from top four... a waste really.

Now 3 points behind Arsenal. 8 behind Chelsea. Come on lads!

Pogba can be the best midfield player in the world, easily. He just needs to do what he has been doing in the last three games consistently.
I said he was exactly that before we signed him cause this is what he was doing at Juve on the regular. This is the player we invested all that money in and not that no passing option having, defensive liability, ball losing imbecile Jose turned him into.
