    ronaldo is like a trusty old golden retriever. he is the apple of your eye. he used to go everywhere with you but the years have caught up with him. where he used to bound alongside you on a walk, he now spends most of his time laying on the rug in front of the fire, farting himself awake and soiling the floor whenever the doorbell startles him. just as you think his time is done and you start to load the shotgun, he brings his favourite toy up to you and places it in your lap and waits for a head stroke. you wipe a tear from your eye as you remove the cartridges for another day.

    So far Man Utd far far better than any other time I’ve watched them.

    Much better without Rashford and Bruno. Sancho and Greenwood are excellent to have in this formation.

    Bailly error for the goal was poor but Harry Maguire’s defending was absolutely dreadful.
    Their link up play with other team mates is noticeably better isn't it?

    Poor goal to concede again. Defend properly man Bailly balls bounces off him and fecking Maguire just doesn't engage him quickly. This game is 3-1 and not comfortable. Wake up and defend properly.

    United 3-1 up which is great but continue to baffle. What happened to the press. This is to all intents and purposes the way Ole would play. And there is nothing wrong with that if it ends with three points.

    Whole back line trio fecked up there in their own parts of that goal, or people think that Brickhead did a great job after Baily fecked it up

    He’s softer. Goes down easier, never puts in a challenge, refuses to actually put his body on the line and block shots.
    Wtf? Lindelof is excellent on one on one. He actually blocks shots like that. He is bullied in body to body duels but when striker goes straight to him (like they did to Harry in last two games), Lindelof has great sense for positioning there and blocks those shots

    We're not brilliant or anything, but certainly a lot better than the abysmal performances against Norwich and Newcastle. Can't say I'm missing Bruno or Rashford

    Trouble is we are stuck playing Maguire every game as Lindelof is injured, Bailly error and injury prone and Varane injury prone. Jones is just a no.

    I wish someone would come in and displace him so we don't have to endure him. Who's that kid who plays at CB that looked pretty competent in the CL game recently? If we could get Victor or Varane back I'd play him to give Maguire the firm message his poor play will not be tolerated

    McTominay is an excellent midfielder when he has someone like Matic behind him.
    He's fine against bottom tier teams, let's not big up mctominay when it's very likely he will be found out against the better sides.

    People criticize Lindelof for being too soft, but what the feck was that from Maguire? Block the fecking shot you shit head
    He doesn't need to block it, he just need to do the ABC's of defending there, which is to force Lennon outwards to the corner flag. Any shot from the outside should be easy for De Gea.

    Under no circumstances should he be allowed to shoot on the inside of Maguire.

    Absolutely. If we were playing you next week I’d be absolutely desperate for Ralf to bring Rashford and Bruno back in for Sancho and Greenwood.

    Sancho and Greenwood are all over the place, switching positions, coming deep, going wide and coming inside. It’s a lot of hard work but also discipline. Rashford can’t be bothered with that amount of effort.
