    Of the subs, who do you want on in the second half?

    For me: Januzaj, Pereira & Falcao

    Not Januzaj - Personally I would loan him to another PL club this season as I don't think he will get the game time he needs to develop his outstanding potential.

    Cant wait to see Falcao and as for Di Maria the speed he transitions the pitch is superb.

    Been a good first half, controlled the game, midfield looks good, Blind and Herrera (Fletcher and Cleverley Lol) is what we been missing, Rojo done well. Rooney been Rooney not great but gets a goal and an assist.
    I'd like to see Shaw and Falcao on in second half at some point and Januzaj or Pereira.

    Piers on Twitter talking bollocks again, saying that Di Maria is a poor man's Sanchez. Oh god, does he even believe in some of the shit he says? I've never wanted to punch a twat so badly.
    Who is Piers? I don't get all the fuzz about that nobody.

    Blind is faster, harder, more technical than I expected.

    Rojo almost seems wasted as a CB. Di Maria and Rojo are clearly well used to each other.

    Blackett just keeps on keeping on.

    Rooney shows his class again just as the doubts were circling him.

    Loved this half of football.

    United is back!

    Jamie Redknapp thought that Di Maria was shooting on that free kick...

    Di Maria has been phenomenal, all over the pitch, the best player in the game.
    Blind composed and good, like he's been here for a while. Rojo has been very good too, him and Di maria on the left is a joy to watch.
    Rafael is back and boy is he back, has been great. Blackett very good too.
    Herrera is the midfielder we've been missing, running, passing, opening himself for a pass.
    Mata has finally been visibile too, very active.

    Rooney with an assist and a goal but haters wont let it to of course. Assist -it's sthing anyone could have done.
    Goal - keeper's fault.

    I know its only QPR, but for most of the players in starting 11, this is the first time they play together. This is only the start line.

    None of them Brit. I am not from England, but nothing beats the passion of home grown British players, I hope LVG will help the youth setup to start playing and developing the youth coming up.
    One thing I respected out Man Utd was our use of youth and home grown players. I am excited with this team but it does not feel the same. I hope someone understand what I am trying to say. I am not writing it well.
    If only our CB pair today were home grown lads who spent their entire career at the club. If only.

    I like what Kluivert is saying there's reason behind every statement he makes, no wonder LVG made him his assistant

    Piers is a professional WUM, I still find it funny that some people get annoyed with him

    Hold your horses, QPR are shite. Still though, we were getting beaten and drawing with the likes of them not too long ago, so we're entitled to be excited.

    Brilliant effort in the first half. Our midfield really don't give an inch to QPR. RvP looks off the pace but still works hard. Would love to see Falcao on soon.

    Generally good, safe, not too ambitious. Linked up with Di Maria to create one opening. Misjudged a header near the touch-line which led to a dangerous QPR cross. A shambolic episode with De Gea with each rather leaving it to the other (more De Gea's fault than Rojo), should have resulted in QPR scoring but Evans cleared a poorly struck shot.
    Thks. Is he playing CB or LB?

    Feel sorry for Rio. Surely after the career he's had he doesn't really need to be playing at this level.

    No one, although FF will put it down as an assist for Herrera I'm pretty certain that the official PL stats won't count it.
    Thanks, I'll remove the assist for Herrera.

    Very good start. Needed that first goal to take some pressure off both the players and fans. As soon as we got the first i always felt we would go on to get a few. Di Maria as soon as he gets the ball - running forward, looking for the forwards - we have been crying out for it.

    QPR have sat back, but in recent years they would not have... we have at least got the fear back from the lesser teams that we lost.

    Great strong and good overlaps, like hes been here for years, seems to be getting along great with the team, how much Ingles does he speak?
    I see by this discription that he´s playing LB. Don´t really know about his english but i doubt he knew any before he joined. Must be having an intensive course now.

    Blind looks class in defensive mid. Exactly the type of player we missed. Herrera great as well. Di Maria obviously world class.
    The front 3 were poor at first I thought but got into the game a lot more and finished strongly. Apart from the de gea feck up, we haven't given anything at the other end as well. Just good all around.

    Well this is so refreshing to watch. Great stuff so far. Di Maria looking like a star out there, such an exciting player. Hererra looking great as well. We really did miss him when he was injured. Been pretty plain sailing bar that moment of madness with De Gea. What was he thinking there? Best part of watching this is that we still have players to come back into the team, especially in defence. Oh and Falcao...

    Herrera and Di Maria are quality.
    Hope for more goals in the 2nd half,maybe Falcao will get a debut goal too:drool:

    Great attacking play but we would've probably conceded at least one if we were playing a top team. We're yet to have a game in which our defense looks solid and reliable.

    Wow. Just wow. Breathtaking stuff. What encourages me the most, besides AdM's stunning display, is that neither Rooney nor RvP now need to drop deep to get the ball. Really no excuses for both of them now.
