Vital vital win.

Great performance, Arsenal never really threatened other than their goal.
Great performance from Fred, man of the match, McT played well again, Sancho looked dangerous and Ronaldo was class.

Scholes doesn't talk half shite. Says it's the same like the last 4-5 weeks. When did we ever press like that under Ole. Scholes doesn't really use his eyes much as a pundit it seems, considering how amazing he was as a midfielder.

Good game for Ralf to watch.. all our problems and good stuff to be seen. Happy for Carrick winning this one.

Rangnick can now take over with the team's morale in a better shape.

But the last 25 minutes probably cost me 25 years. Holy feck.

the first win against arsenal of that level in 3 and a half years. Dalot played well, lets see if that gives him some more chances coming up. I still think this 4-2-3-1/4-2-4 is not the way to go, you are asking this 2 man midfield to do much outside of their ability and a 3 man midfield could alleviate some of that. At times the more attacking players they put on the pitch the worse they are. Nice result, lots to work on but it's really recover and on to the next in 3-4 days.

After Arsenal celebrated "that" goal like they just won the UCL, I knew they were gonna lose. Gave them a headstart and still won... Banter club :lol:

Big win that, wasn't pretty for a lot of it but we dug in and managed to hold on to the 3 points, hopefully things start to improve from now on, certainly going to be interesting to see how this team responds to the new regime and implements what's asked of them. I can imagine there might be a few headless chicken displays while they try and grasp what's being asked of them but I'm cautiously optimistic.

So damn happy for the 3 points!
Best I've seen Dalot perform for us. He was actually for the most part composed - did not see that coming.

Defence about ready to give me heart failure.

Other than the usual errors etc, very very happy with the win. We really needed that.

Nice win, thought our fullbacks did far better than the normal ones have in the recent times. Defense is still pretty ragged, but my god Sancho adds another dimension attacking wise. Rashford poor, McT and Fred much better today in possession after that shocking first 10 minutes.

Also wtf is De Gea doing on the opening goal. Get the feck up

Fair play to Carrick. Got us some valuable wins for our league and Champions league future. All you can ask for really.

Two average teams seperated by Ronaldo ultimately. Ralf will have an LVG binders worth of notes.

Pressing was spot on. The players gave it everything and turned the tide after that diabolical fist goal conceded.


European KO qualification and draw and win against tough teams is really appreciable. Thank you Carrick.

Can't wait for Ralf reign to begin.

Big 3 points. Thoroughly enjoyed the match. Wasn't really well-played by any of the teams, but still very entertaining,

Well done today, but against the top teams "a little bit of pregnant" won't do the job. Some players need to put more effort. You know who they are.

Ronaldo just always finds a way to impose himself on close games. Just a different personality. The GOAT.

Great result. A lot for Ralf to work on but a lot of encouragement. Huge improvement from the full backs going forward but Telles had a few rash moments.

Fred is an absolute menace with the ball but it’s clear Ralf will love him. Maguire to his credit played well which given the scrutiny is impressive. The team is clearly running more and we haven’t even started. You can see they’re eager to impress. Bruno will get that tackle one day.

Exciting time as a fan. Now gotta go watch those Lazio-Udinese highlights.

Mad game and a lot of the same issues, but all that matters is the win. Ronaldo clutch as always. Dalot was a pleasant surprise. Fred is such a mixed bag :lol:

Oh and feck Arsenal obviously.

Our passing is still dogsh*t at times and it really needs to improve but welcome win after some terrible performances.

RR will have a hard job getting this team to defend as I'm not sure you can coach 'awareness' as our defenders simply lack the basic necessity of having one!

Good stuff that. It's hard starting the game with 1 down. Maguire actually grew into the match.

Fred great, Bruno good, De Gea is god and SIUU

Nice to see Maguire back in form. I do not understand the low ratings for him on redcafé. He was excellent today.
