I’ve been vocal against Vic, but all players deserve a clean slate when a new front foot manager comes in and he was very very good against Palace. Ralf will have been delighted with him.

Good performance again. Would expect nothing less.
If all defenders are fit, he starts with Varane.
Nothing to hold against him though, Zaha can be very handy to be fair.
He was pretty good once again as he continues his good form. He is the calm of the defense nowadays and I am very glad he got a clean sheet finally.

That was actually my favourite part of his performance. He's always been too nice for a CB - absolutely did the right thing in taking the man out. He's been a lot more aggressive in recent weeks, even winning most of his duels in the air.
Lindelof has always been good. Yesterday he ran a lot. And that is ultimately what people want to see. Animation
I’ve never been a big fan of the Iceman, but he was good yesterday, and you’d have to say on the balance of this season he’s been better than captain S. I think Lindelof should play with Varane when he comes back from injury.
He was class yesterday. Played 90 minutes on the front foot and looked so much better for it. Let the Rafalution continue!
Finally after months of trying
I loved how he hated our zombie passing passage in the second half and just went for a long run with the ball through the middle.
Fantastic yesterday. About to eat my words from last season.
Should start with Varane. He’s consistently outperformed Maguire.
The difference in perceived ballplaying ability is crazy.. Much like Fred. Who knew, passing is dependant on movement and availability on the receiving end

The way he went into midfield in the first half was very good. He pressed right up to their box.
When Varane comes back there is no worries about the ball over the top. But it's going to be a huge dilemma for RR then. He might as well make Ronaldo the Captain.

Do you honestly think he needs a clean slate from the game against CP? He has been good every game this season - in a poorly organized team, next to Maguire(!) - although against CP he was great. MAYBE a clean slate from last season, but I would say even that is a bit harsh.
Agree with you. BUT I also suspect it was some payback in that challenge from the incident minutes before where they were arguing!? It happens and sometimes its worth a yellow (short term satisfaction) to make a mark.
Every single player, be it Dalot, Lindelöf or Fred etc deserves a clean slate when a new manager comes in.
Paycheck fully earned. Could give Maguire a bit of a headache when Varane returns. Maguire's pace is a serious concern in a pressing system. Lindelof's weakness is that he's easily bullied, which gets more easily exposed in a system where the defenders sit back as we had had done under Jose and Ole.
Great performance yesterday. Watching us play so high up the pitch, he literally looked like the DM we've been crying out for. I'm not suggesting he should play that position but he's very capable on the ball and is going to be very useful both defensively and starting attacks with the new Rangnick system.
He should definitely be first choice with Varane when he returns. Maguire has looked ok the past 2 games but overall we know how poor he's been and if we do start getting hit on the counter by quick attackers while playing such a high line....Maguire is not the man we want chasing back given his lack of pace.

Norwich 0:1 Man Utd
Thought he was very good tonight and while I'm not generally his biggest fan, I do wish him a speedy recovery if something is up

Hope he's alright and they find out what it was.
Worrying stuff, hope he's alright.
I don't want to be one of those, but if its a heart/chest related problem, they are happening an awful lot in football recently, are they not? Hopefully he is okay
Might be a rib
They are. Questions have to be raised.
Think there has been a big pandemic on mate. Might be that.
Really hope we hear some positive news soon, because it looked concerning.
He seemed to be indicating a fast heartbeat. Hope it’s not the same as Aguero.
We were just discussing the same thing at home. Same observation. Apparently covid affects heart in alot of cases…
hope he is ok anyway! Good performance.
Hopefully it was an impact injury when he was sandwiched near the touchline. Anything more health related and you'd think he'd have been off straight away.
Right but he doesn't have covid does he, otherwise he wouldn't be playing
Hope it’s nothing serious and is just a result of a clash with a norwich player rather than a breathing/heart issue. Get well soon!
I hope he is ok.
Please don't tell me he's another heart problem/Myocarditis victim.....
please lindelof dont be our own kun aguero ¡
I thought he had the shits?
Maybe he's had it? Maybe he's not vaxxed.? Both far more likely than the theories some lads want to jump to...
He's been playing really well. Hope it was just he was winded or pulled some muscles in his torso.
@Dr. Dwayne what say the doctor
Yeah guys, maybe calm down with the Covid stuff until we hear what happened. Conjecture is just going to lead to arguments
Hope he's ok
Was wondering if he had breathing issues or something.
