absolutely amazing, well done lads

Micah Richards?

Yes, it was Micah Richards.
To be fair, there were people posting here that we'd be in the relegation zone if our results didn't improve, so he wasn't entirely exaggerating; and most of his analysis was fair and rational, given he's obviously biased towards City.

 

[simplyared]

Great result we need those 3 pts. However this game was about prestige. Thought we were brilliant in the first half and going in with a 2 goal lead wouldn't have been an injustice. When we were on 60 mins they started to control the game. We desperatly needed fresh legs. McT should have come on earlier. Can't understand why Ighalo didn't replace Martial. We sat back and allowed them to come at us. Seemed like Ole set us up for that. We rode the storm but for me it wasn't good tactics. I was an Ole doubter. I think we should back him now and I'm happy he's our manager. That said I didn't like his tactics later on in the game today but we won and that's the main thing.

I live for Pep's salty press conferences.

He's such a bad loser, isn't he? Can't stop himself being a bit sanctimonious and giving off an air of entitlement.

 

[crossy1686]

I really hope we get them in the FA cup as well. Semi's or final, I don't mind.

I thought we were great today all round. For all the possession they had they rarely looked a threat. We looked like scoring every time we went forward with purpose.

 

[Amerifan]

Can't believe Ole is smiling in the post match interview after having only 28% possession at home

Seriously dude. Let me explain it to you. Win 3 points, possession % no points. You do the math.

Pep looked like he was going to give the ball to Bruno for the throw-in then rolled it off behind him instead.

 

[Amerifan]

Hmm.
Who would you drop. Matic, Fred. Both playing extremely well and working very hard.
Big decision that.

Gotta drop Fred for getting a yellow card for simulation

It’s a good question. Pogba has work to do to break into this side.

Bruno telling Pep to shut the feck up .... I imagine thats what it is

I can see that. Bruno walks away Pep keeps talking Bruno turns around, couple of head movement, them shhhh.

 

[Castia]

Cracking game, the players, tactics, everything was spot on.

I can’t wait to see Rashford and Pogba added to this group.

 

[M4nu4Life]

At least once, maybe two times James should have passed the ball instead of shooting.

Get the feck in

 

[fergosaurus]

Very satisfying performance and important to keep pressure on Chelsea after their emphatic win today. Solskjaer got it spot on and I'm now believing we can actually get top four for the first time in a long time. The Bruno assist was sensational.

If only Martial was able to tap in that Ederson blunder, the scenes that would have caused.

Wow that's something. Makes you think if we weren't so shite against the lower league teams this season, could have been cruising.

I think Ole knew we had to solve the problem on the left of the defence (Bailly on for Williams, Shaw shifted left) and also needed to reinforce the midfield (McTominay on for Martial). The question regarding the second substitution was really all about which of Martial or James would provide the most likely out ball for the defence, and he went with James (which I think was the right call).

Later on, it was clear that Bruno was not really able to affect the game in an attacking sense, and that having a more physical presence could be useful, hence the switch with Ighalo (who did really well in his brief cameo). That substitution could perhaps have been made a little bit sooner, but maybe Ole thought that Bruno still had one assist in the locker.

I think Ole got just about everything right today, and it looks like the players are very happy working with him.

I don't care about possession, that they weren't at their best, whatever. fecking brilliant result.

[Foxbatt]

Yes everything was spot on today. What is this domination some people are talking about?
It's what you do with the possession that matters. For all their possession they did feck all. We should have been 3-0 up in the first half.

 

[momo83]

I can’t wait to see Rashford and Pogba added to this group.

I’ve been Pogba’s biggest supporter. He’s a great talent, gets unfairly criticised by the pundits BUT I’m starting to wonder regardless of his undoubted world class quality would adding him into our starting 11 unbalance us, would his indifference to certain games ruin the teamwork?

Closest example I can think of Neymar at PSG, they seemed to have clicked as a team and then Neymar returned and they lost something collectively.

 

[morbidsaint]

May he stay as our #1 intil the day he retires. What a journey he has had at our club.
