    Don’t want this half to end. We’ve been great, Everton naive. Can’t believe how open they are.
    Everton have been awful. Pickford is the only reason they're only 1-0 down. He's kept the score line respectable.

    Looking at Everton's league position and points total, they're in the shit. They're very lucky that there are so many other teams around them playing badly, too.

    De Gea
    Could have assisted Antony if he had a right foot. 7
    Wan-Bissaka
    Missed a sitter but performance level good. 7
    Maguire
    Hesitated when Simms was free inside the area. 6
    Martinez
    Commanding. 7
    Malacia
    Looks like a reserve left-back from the Eredivisie. 4
    McTominay
    Clinical goal. 7
    Fernandes
    Fabulous. 8
    Antony
    Creative but feckless with his finishing. 6
    Sabitzer
    Thrived further forward again. 7
    Sancho
    Fine pass for McTominay’s goal. 7
    Rashford
    Lively but somehow hasn’t scored. 6

    Never thought I'd be angry at United for playing well. But before McT's goal it was exactly that. Now just put the game to bed in the next 15 mins please. These lot are terrible.

    If we are just talking about performance we've been absolutely brilliant.

    But considering we are only a fragile 1-0 up when we should be 4 or 5 up it's a bit disappointing.

    How in the holy feck have we not finished more than 1 chance?! Don't think I've seen a half of football with so many players clean through on goal. I'll even include Simms in that, but our chances...Jesus.

    We're doing well on finding those two on two counters every time they step up.

    Great first half apart from the wasted chances. We're very fluid and our front 3 are a menace. Bruno and Antony are having an excellent game. No complaints I just hope we keep going and not waste more chances in the second half.

    Our attackers have been criminally selfish esle we'd be at least 3 goals ahead.

    Alright game of football overall

    game could have been done by half time
    Looking good so far. Early goal in the 2nd half would finish Everton

    Yes, but the Everton tactics are a special brand of stupid.
    You also said, Brenford tactics were wrong if I am not wrong.

    Both Brenford and Everton tactics look to be stupid because United have better control of the game.

    Even United, when we meet teams with better control our tactics supposedly look stupid or poor.

    Wan Bissaka, rashford twice and antony at least twice with clear cut chances..we should be 6 up. But it's a fantastic first half performance finishing aside

    Bruno MotM so far, but Sancho excellent as well.

    Everton making it very easy for us, can't understate that. But we're doing really well.

    Brilliant display so far, very enjoyable football.

    Apart from, y'know, the obvious thing. But that one goal was a thing of beauty, it really should be worth two.

    I keep mixing up Antony and Martinez and wondering why Martinez is tackling people near the touchline in the opposition's half.

    To be honest I'm sitting here annoyed we spend 2 months fecking around with Sabitzer or Fred in the deeper positions while eriksens been out
    To be fair this is a complete anomaly for Bruno. He’s usually sloppy and erratic in deeper areas

    Great half but the poor finishing has been ridiculous. Should be 6-0 (or 6-1 maybe). Wouldn't make any changes. Look far better without Weghorst and I'm hoping we don't see much of him between now and end of season.
