Did well to hold on with 10 men. McNair did not look out of place - great debut for him.
Surely van Persie.Who do you all think will captain the next side with Rooney suspended?
RvP unfortunately. I don't think he does enough defensively but he scores and that is what he is measured against.Who do you all think will captain the next side with Rooney suspended?
I thought di Maria also defended very well after we went down to 10 men.Herrera definite MOTM for me Rafael done really well too.
Paddy Mcnair had an incredible debut, well done !!!
It should seal the debate for a while now. I really want to see Mata play to feed our strikers like a true 10.Rooney out for 3 games. Mata then.
Rooney haters will have a go if he had a hatrick.I have the same view, was a definite red, but I don't think he was attempting anything malicious. Just stupidity he wanted to stop the break of Downing.
Yep, him aswell, he did his job when we had rooney sent off.I thought di Maria also defended very well after we went down to 10 men.
I am sorry, but this is just bitter. Yes, we would much rather win 10000 - 0, but after last week, injuries and being down to 10 men, this is a good solid win.Big result for us. The type of defensive performance that will put us in the top four.
Clearly with 11 men on the pitch we can easily score 3 goals a game but now we've shown some backbone in keeping a clean sheet with 10!
Indeed, very impressed with him today.Not surprising .Playing at another level.
How anybody can be proud of this win is beyond me. Holding on for our lifes for an entire second half in our home versus fecking West Ham. Fortunatley enough lucky to get the 3 points because WHU had the equaliser in their hand many times. Never been more relived to see an offside flag. I'am happy with the 3 points but proud of this lot, hell no !
We really aren't any better than relegation fodder.
How on earth are we going to hold on until the winter playing like this ? Team like Chelsea and City will just rip us apart.
RVP didn't have a pre season, so I wouldn't be too worried, hes getting minutes under his belt, and now a few goals too which is good.Rooney haters will have a go if he had a hatrick.
He was brilliant in the first half for us.
I am more concerned that RVP looks shattered.
But then he was up there alone.
Was awesome!My heart touched my testicales when Nolan scored from offside. 3 points, we are capable of playing some beautiful football and we have plenty of goals in us.
I'm excited. We are a confident outfit in attack and once we show the world are brass balls in defense with some confidence and a top defender I think we'll be a force.
Well done Paddy McNair. That clearance header
RVP goal was class. Such accurate finishing with his supposedly weaker right foot. Deserves the band for that one alone.
I am a 'Rooney critic', but I agree his overall play was very good today till he got sent off.Rooney haters will have a go if he had a hatrick.

Pretty simple really. We were in a better position and collapsed massively last week. In a worse position this week most fans would have expected a West Ham victory even though they won't admit it.How anybody can be proud of this win is beyond me.
