Herrera has been much better tonight.

A massive improvement tonight. The first time in a looooong while that we haven’t looked as though we’ve needed Matic on the pitch.

happy we won it

. Not a super performance, but the most important thing was getting the win. Hopefully we can get things together against Stoke who seem to be dire in defense.

That's an away match too. You are aware of this concept, no? We change if there are kit clashes away from home. They change for us when we're at home. This has been going on since the 1970s with the black shorts.

Mate, it was an obvious tongue-in-cheek rhetorical question (as evidenced by the glazersout bit), in reference to a discussion that's been had many a times here. I prefer the other colour combinations and I bring it up from time to time, without any intent of starting a petition to change them. It doesn't mean I'm not aware of our usual kits or am genuinely surprised by them. This is the first time I've had to explain this.

Followed a similar pattern this match..Dominate the match and no cutting edge...than pops Lingard to save our blushes..and Lukaku tops up the cherry on the cake.

Entertaining Match but had squeaky bum time before Lionel Lingard!!

In your opinion, which you are welcome to of course. In my opinion Rashford literally dwarfs that of Welbeck in terms of technique. Welbeck can barely run 5 yards without losing control of the ball.

Football is a game of opinions of course. But I always thought Welbeck was good technically but couldn't play a final ball to save his life.

I was thinking the exact same about Morata

I had an inkling. Maybe if the score had been different I wouldn't have bitten so easily!

Think so too. Understandable.

Also, there's been an upsurge in terrible posts recently, so I'm never too sure. That and answering questions on kits and football facts being my job, it's easy to start furiously typing before thinking!

Wum?

Edit: forgot the question mark

Martial is great at holding the ball up?

I’d say he’s more than a little capable. There’s an ocean of difference between woeful and great, and if you don’t understand that then, yeah, I probably can’t help. It’s simple really, calling his hold up play woeful is just tragic, but it fits in with the staggering trend of hyperbole on this place. Well done, you’re a generic caftard!

Well thanks. Always happy to be average.

Exactly. Lingard is always relaxed, I think that split second of calm makes a big difference.

Well said.
