    The last moments of the game reminded me of last season where we always conceded at Old Trafford in the last minute.

    This is why De Gea is world class. Nothing to do in the second half, then pulls off two outstanding saves that wins us the game. Well done to Young too for clearing it off the line. Bloody hell, I was sweating in those last few minutes,

    Anyway, another 3 points. Should have killed the game off a lot earlier, but we got the win. Long may this run continue.

    Wilson was criminal not to lay it off to van Persie, instead trying to get all the glory there. That was lame.
    TBH he did the right thing, hes a striker, he should have and he would have expected to bury it.

    Would have wrapped it up if Wilson didn't get carried away and played RVP in earlier.

    Exactly, simple pass and Van Persie has an easy tap in.

    Then we don't end up having a heart attack with those last couple of mins!

    Really good win, without Di Maria, Rooney, fullbacks and Blind!!

    We really miss a player like Paul Scholes. At the latter stages of games he was brilliant at keeping possesion. It's been a problem for a while now and it means the other team always has a chance of scoring.

    disagree, that was a sheer lack of experience.

    Shawcross was totally wrong footed, he should have played VP in, who would have had a much better chance on goal, rather than having to do a swerve past Shawcross and try and jam it in.

    Did Carrick play in that second half? Don't actually remember seeing him once..

    Fletcher is a complete waste of time sadly. All the pressure in the end came from his presence.
    Bullshit. I generally agree that Fletcher isn't up to the standards of the club anymore, but it wasn't his fault in these last minutes.

    I disagree, his angle wasn't great and RVP was wide open. If anything, RVP should've been more selfish when he passed it back to Herrera because RVP actually had a decent angle to go for goal there.

    I would bet VP wouldn't have passed it either

    Ashley Young! WTF! How on earth did he stop that.. Centimeters away from being over the line! fecking brilliant
    Does a good job as a squad player. Good to know we can use him as a left back, with the added incentive of his attacking.
    Similar with Valencia really, seems to suit him coming from deeper, rather than that odd stop start thing he got in the habit of doing.

    Thank you Ashley, MoM. For once we get some luck this season. Can't believe the complacency though, why can't we shut the game down earlier? Don't turn off the tempo when we score, go for another! Definitely work to be done there.

    Clear dominate display other then one shot in the first half and the panic at the end. Stoke wouldn't deserved any thing but the almost did get a point. I wish Wilson would have squared the ball to rvp then we could have express our selfs and maybe falcao would have scored

    Wow, what a save by DDG and Young. Young turning back to cover the line is brilliant thinking by him. Wow and thank goodness.

    Thanks to De Gea and Young who saved us in the end there! Feels even better with 3 points in matches like this!

    I agree but RvP has been a black hole lately when it comes to passing so I kind of understand it from Wilson as well.
