Great result. Really happy to see James score on debut.
He was worried he might gob on himRashford thinking, who is this poxy Scouser.
Completely outplayed but got lucky with some counters
Agree with everything especially the bolded part, if we had a proper out and out defensive midfielder to play alongside McTominay and Pogba in the biggest games away from home we’d be potentially very strong.I am buzzing! Going to ignore any negatives for now and enjoy the shock result.
Rashford and Martial answered a few questions. So glad they got their goals.
Delighted for Dan James.
Pogba doing what he is does best and gets a couple of assists.
Maguire was a rock, sorry I mean slab. Couldn’t resist
AWB was an absolute machine, the lad is class.
Greenwood got minutes which is good against a good team.
Lindelof looks great next to Maguire and they are going to have a great partnership.
Shaw looked decent and will benefit from the other 3 at the back.
De Gea solid as per. Pereira got an assist.
Lingard had some good bits of play, especially his little one two’s and has bags of energy and good movement. He showed a glimpse of what he can do when he was about to pull off a great dribble past their whole back line and was hacked.
McTominay much better than Matic, but is NOT a holding midfielder.
Yeah I agree, especially since we were not in our stride of confidence.Ole just said on MUTV that he wasn't happy with all the fancy flicks in the first half.
Me too.Predicted 5-0 so a tad bit disappointed

Great point, the flicks & undercutting of passes i’m attacking areas could be very costly in the coming months.I have to whine about one particular thing.
This team needs to stop it with the flicks and tricks until we gain some momentum playing basic find-a-player-in-space-and-pass football. They're overdoing it, especially in situations where we're not necessarily in control of the game.
Other than that, this is the best counter-attacking football we've played in years.
Exactly what i mean. I'm a huge fan of McT but I think hes more of a CM than a CDM. Someone established like Kante or similar is what I'm talking about.I thought mctom was good at times today. Not flawless but good. Pogba contributed so little in the first half that he had to do a lot to compensate. Might be that mctominay is good but just not good enough to do it all on his own like kante or someone similar have done in the past
You're a woman? Nice! Feel there's quite a few of us now, maybe we should start a club.Me too.
But, before the game told my husband we will score 4, he laughed,, and said "in 4 games, maybe". Now I'm patiently waiting for him to come home.
The way Martial played it back to Pogba near the end before Pogba stormed through for James' goal was beautiful. That's the right kind of flick. Rashford's flicks are hit and hopes at the minute.I have to whine about one particular thing.

Absolute Gospel this..This is what is happening in this thread.
We beat Chelsea FOUR nil. We absolutely batter them. Our new signing scores. Our young home grown striker scores. We keep a top four rival to a clean sheet.
“First half was lucky”
“We’ll be punished in other games”
feck me! Enjoy it! We just beat Chelsea 4-0! I’m going to get a massive pizza and then go the pub. If you are thinking ANYTHING negative after that just leave football behind.
