Good stuff today second half was total control.
i think ozil hasnt played even 1 full prem match so...I usually think stats is useless in football, but this is mad
Herrera was my MoTM for me. Pogba a close second.
Ander was so economical with a tackle or pass. But each was important.
Our midfield is simply solid.
Our first goal.what i love about ander is that little flick scoop of the ball he does before someone comes and slides him or stretches to get him , how we scored the first goal today lovely bit of play
Next week is ChelseaCan we do it now next week ? Its so important we stop Livershite.
Every time I watch him, I realise how criminally we've underused him previously.what i love about ander is that little flick scoop of the ball he does before someone comes and slides him or stretches to get him , how we scored the first goal today lovely bit of play
Doubt it. I get the impression he'd like a return to Spain at some point.Our first goal.
indeed.
he will finish his playing days with us I'm sure
Best player in the league right now.It's only Fulham! Good win today, How good is Pogba?
They were talking about that after the game. Jamie Redknapp was laughing because Ian Rush did exactly the same thing when Jamie scored his first goal for Liverpool when Rush was in a good position right in front of goal. It is a striker reaction.Lukaku's response when Pogba scored.
Cheers mate!!
Sanchez was actually really good once he came on - should have scored yes but played really well and created a lotNeed to say that despite the result and ease with which we won, I'm slightly worried that both Lukaku and Sanchez were both extremely average against what was the worst team we've seen this seson.
- not sure what is allowed on this forum -Cheers mate!!
Amazing, thanks!- not sure what is allowed on this forum -
But that website is great and when I can’t find it cleanly on there reddit football downloads never fails me either.
Yes. I agree. He is the type of player who needs to play regularly to get his touch right.Just a humble question. Why is Lukaku Useless. I thought he played very well, considering we are not playing to his strengths at all. The turn and drop of shoulder for the third one was amazing.
Absolutely not.Martial and Pogba were both playing with a confidence bordering on arrogance, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing from your two best attacking players.
That is when Pogba is at his best. His touch is brilliant for a big player and his spacial awareness is excellent.Martial and Pogba were both playing with a confidence bordering on arrogance, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing from your two best attacking players.
Really good. Really?Sanchez was actually really good once he came on - should have scored yes but played really well and created a lot
That's the sharpest I have seen him since joining United, I hope that is what is still to come. Should have scored, but overall his play was much better, let's hope he can look as sharp if he gets the chance against the bigger teams.Really good. Really?
He was ok but not really good.
Mourinho actually convinced Ander that he needs to play like a shithouse. He's got great technical ability not just a great engine.what i love about ander is that little flick scoop of the ball he does before someone comes and slides him or stretches to get him , how we scored the first goal today lovely bit of play
Great post!Fulham started brightly but it lasted like a firecracker. United controlled the game throughout as Fulham went on to do some nasty kicking. This was Ole's 10th win out of 11, still unbeaten, still strong.
There was a concerned when Ole decided to start with Mata and Lukaku. Both didn't contribute much in build up or defensively. However, Fulham played so bad football that their badness eclisped some of ours.
- Pogba was fantastic. His goal from that difficult angle was joy to watch. he is heeding the advice of Ole to make those runs in the box. That is paying off handsomely for him and for united. Penalty well taken. However, goalkeepers are reading his direction correctly each time. Slightly worrying.
- Martial was superb too. His solo goal was goal of the season. Reminded me of that solo goal from Nistelrooy in 2003. Coincidently it was against Fulham too.
- Herrera is the general of the team. Guarding almost all of the pitch, yet not a single time looked out of position. Great game.
- Shaw is becoming more and more reliable. It is difficult to bully him, it is difficult to get ball out of his legs, and he links up with anybody pretty good.
- DDG, what to say. Another clean sheet, another great saves! consistent and reliable as ever. Mitrovic should not been on the pitch. Also DDG does not deserve yellow for that. Recollect world cup 2014 semi final brazil vs germany. There was similar bust up between Marcelo and Boateng. Refree just calmed them down and moved on. This refree however missed many yellow cards in the game and decided to show up towards to end. Not needed.
- Jones was immense today. Rock solid.
- Matic played well. He was there like a mountain. Received unncessary yellow though.
Dalot is a rookie. He is young so there is hope he will learn. But he can't be gambled for key matches.
Smalling, had okay game. Initially he was shakey but found his legs as Fulham settled to playing bad football
Mata had his usual game. Drifting center to right and vice versa. Didn't really contribute. Tried his fancy stuff he can't do and lost balls. Luckily that fancy stuff earned him penalty.
Lukaku was invisible today. Looks like he has lost his confidence. He doesn't move swiftly. He doesn't get involved defensively. He doesn't control the aerial ball. Heck, he can't even get under the ball. Wasted opportunity for him today.
Towards the end Ole brought Bailly. That made 3 CBs and 2 FBs. I think he was trying to see how we hang on in the dying minutes. This experiment will be useful against teams like PSG.
Congrats Ole for unbeaten run. Won MOTM award and killed the curse of defeat. May the force be with you for rest of the season and many more coming seasons with Man Utd.
Last but not least, how can I not mention away fans. They rocked the stadium today. Felt like home. Best away fans in the world.
Id say the top 5 most successful ever manager has more talents than thatJose's biggest talent was getting some fans to turn on their best player.
YeapGah... it feels good to watch United like this again
His run that drew the penalty was top drawer too.I thought Dalot was very impressive today, more so going forwards than defending, and did make some poor defensive choices at times but he was composed, good work rate, very willing to go forward and provide support as well as just take a man on, great hope for him moving forwards.
I'm surprised Lukaku has scored so lowly, Martial scored a great goal but what many may have lost in the way it developed was that it was Lukaku's run that took defenders away and opened the space for Martial to attack. He did a solid job today did big Rom.
Yeah, I thought dalot showed some good moments today, still raw but hopefully will keep improving. Shaw was very good on the other side, he should drive forward more often like today , he has the pace and strength.I thought Dalot was very impressive today, more so going forwards than defending, and did make some poor defensive choices at times but he was composed, good work rate, very willing to go forward and provide support as well as just take a man on, great hope for him moving forwards.
