WhateverDefenders get done all the time, that's how we appreciate forwards. Watch Vidic every time he came up against Torres. Keeping is different and De Gea's mistake is far worse then McGuire's. No way should a keeper let in a goal like that. Clear and obvious error, again.
I think both those defensive 'disasters' were down to DDG more than the defense. He should not be getting beaten at the front post from that angle, and his hospital pass to Maguire would have cost us another goal had the forward not been offside.We have a great defence. They just decided to have an off day today
Absolutely. Still think we should add another option (like Sancho) though. Having 4 such players to rotate in those 3 positions would be amazing. They'd all get more than enough playing time. Some of them could do a job in Fernandes position to when needed.All grabbing a goal too. Brilliant stuff. Amazing potential on that front line.
Think in the past United might have went into their shells after the first goal but great response.
He did? was wondering why Rashford took it.Lovely of Bruno to insist Rashy take the pen
You could have fooled some posters in hereWe're 3-1 up, ffs
Both need upgrading tbhThe more I see, Lindelof is the one to keep and upgrade Maguire. He shouldn't be even on the team let alone be the captain.
I just pulled a muscle trying to reach that farAshley Young circa 2011 esque
That is a gross overreaction. Maguire is not as good as VVD, but he's easily as good, on average, as Lindelof and quite critical for our current squad. Both defensively as well as in starting the attacks. We are almost certainly not upgrading him in the summer.The more I see, Lindelof is the one to keep and upgrade Maguire.

If you look at the replay, he spoke to him just beforeHe did? was wondering why Rashford took it.
Did you see Young's goal the other day? He's still got it...That was fkin beautiful, Young is sitting somewhere in Milano watching this with a happy grin!
Agreed, Lindelof is a defender, I actually see Maguire as more of a DM.Only Maguire is visible for some people while Lindelof has been quietly doing his job in many games
I agree. Our bench needs a boost.I’m beginning to like this team
Get 3 players in next season and we’ll compete
Sancho,,kante and Koulibally and we will be alright
We need to kick on as a club now
That is exactly what I was telling my son! Lovely to see some excitement of the past coming back!Greenwood’s goal unsurprisingly looked like it came out of a RVP playbook.
Martial’s one came right out of a Thierry Henry playbook.
All three of them did so many interplay, switching positions. Their movements made Bournemouth defenders couldn't know how to defend against.Tweet

Same.Wasn’t really worried when we went down. That’s how it used to be under sir Alex
He feints a run into the box to jink the defender. It was quality movement that created the space.No one marking Greenwood. Deserved.
Only if we score another though. No risks this half, keep it tight in midfield and we’ll get anotherLovely performance so far, which players should we rest at 60 minutes? Bruno, Matic, Martial?
i dont think they need a side job right now thoughOne of them should push on how and grab the golden booth this year
Were you the one bitching and moaning there is no 6-1 score to predict?Normal service resumed. Now 3 more to make up for that 1 we let in.
How it doesn't matter? Every time he stopped attacker. Blocked shot or covered space which allowed our defenders to settle in defence.It doesn't matter that he wasn't beaten once, they played multiple direct balls to Josh King and Lindelof is a bit passive and doesn't really attack the ball in those cases. Several situations where they were easily able to get up the field or threaten with a 1v1 near the box. Ultimately he is a solid defender when facing his man but why risk it?
Anyway, he doesn't need to be replaced. I'd be happy with Matic just dropping back a bit more and making it back 3 as well.
Bruno should be the captain, over Maguire, in a perfect world. The guy is a born leader.Lovely of Bruno to insist Rashy take the pen
Wan Bissaka should have prevented Stanislas being here, Maguire should have prevented shooting, DDG shod have prevented scoring. They all failed. It’s ok, shit happensI think both those defensive 'disasters' were down to DDG more than the defense. He should not be getting beaten at the front post from that angle, and his hospital pass to Maguire would have cost us another goal had the forward not been offside.
Shut up ffs. If he gets 2 assists by half time I couldn't give a shit if he doesn't complete another pass.Fernandes has got two assists but he hasn't been good especially his passing. Actually, our collective passing had been below average.
He has the awareness and football intelligence in bundles. Shrewd passer and always to feet. The potential is limitlessHe feints a run into the box to jink the defender. It was quality movement that created the space.
