Not long back from the game and it was a very good performance and result.
Van Gaal is really starting to stamp himself on the team.

Yes.I was at the game today and it was great to watch live, such a lovely performance.
Carrick stole the show for me, faultless.
It really was bizzare, and just when it was becoming settled with 20 minutes left LVG completely changes the formationI gave up trying to work it out. It was hurting my head
Carrick, Herrera and Mata, outstanding performances.Yes.
I also thought Herrera was brilliant and very instrumental in how we moved the ball so quickly today.
He just wasn't fit enough or pain free. Now he is eased back into the team, like LVG does with all his players that have been out for a whileDoes LVG have a daughter? And if so, was Ander Herrera caught performing coitus with her? That can be the only explanation for his exclusion from the team for the past few games...
He was immense today. The impetus behind our pass-and-move play which at times, was mesmerizing. Agree with the sentiments that it shouldn't be a case of either/or Herrera and Fellaini. We can easily fit them both into the starting XI.
Hard to disagree with that. Looked like the United we all know and love, and Di Maria wasn't even playing. Smalling showed excellent composure on a few occasions, he's responded really well after his moronic actions in the derby. Fellaini gets my vote for MOTM, constantly involved, his only blip being getting skinned by Brady. Love how Herrera uses the ball, he's the player we thought Cleverley could be.Best all round performance since Saf's retirement.
Class, I agree.. he controlled it and that's what let everyone else flourish.I was at the game today and it was great to watch live, such a lovely performance.
Carrick stole the show for me, faultless.
Not just midfield. With Mata, Herrera, Fellaini, Di Maria, Rooney, Carrick and Blind we can argue we have the best midfield in the league. What a step forward from last season.This is what it feels like to have a midfield...
Better, 77%Is 75% official?
Yep, and not even that, but his positioning is just incredible too, always seemed to be in the right place without having to sprint to get there. I had only ever seen Carrick live once and it was years and years ago and people always say you have to see him at OT to truly see what he offers, I now know what they mean.Class, I agree.. he controlled it and that's what let everyone else flourish.
His range of passing today was as close to total as imaginable.
My sarcasm detector is malfunctioning, can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is serious or not?I wasn't impressed. We got the win but the entertainment wasn't there. The passing wasn't sharp either. RVP was poor but im glad he scored, it will do him good. Falcao didn't see enough of the ball besides his fluffed opportunity. Hull City were completely shit. Game should've been 6-0
My thoughts exactly. Hull were absolutely shocking today, their whole performance was a 90 minute long chain of mistakes. When Bruce made that substitution in the first half, I thought they might wake up, but thankfully didn't.Since it was only Hull I wouldn't call it a "great" performance, but it was definitely promising.
Don't know if I quite buy that, though. RvP has clearly not been up to speed. Carrick wasn't fully match-fit when he was put into the side recently. I feel like there must be more behind Herrera being dropped, seeing as when he's played, he's been among the team's most influential players.He just wasn't fit enough or pain free. Now he is eased back into the team, like LVG does with all his players that have been out for a while
Yup, I've missed those lobbed through passes to our frontmen, ones that he didn't really show last season but the season before the disaster. I guess RVP missed them too.Class, I agree.. he controlled it and that's what let everyone else flourish.
His range of passing today was as close to total as imaginable.
I don't think they are that poor. They were good against Spurs and if the wouldn't get a red card they would win that game or at least draw. They will end the season around 10-15 place. I think that our team made them look so poor.unbelievably poor Hull side... QPR level of bad
This shite gets cycled after every game we win. It's boring, and a disservice to ourselves as well as the international footballers on show for Hull.unbelievably poor Hull side... QPR level of bad
Three points is three points. Lets get a winning run together.My sarcasm detector is malfunctioning, can anyone enlighten me as to whether this is serious or not?
There's always one.
Exactly. We didn't give them the ball. Obviously they'd be piss poor chasing it all game. Perhaps we should have let them have a few chances for this to be acknowledged a good win.This shite gets cycled after every game we win. It's boring, and a disservice to ourselves as well as the international footballers on show for Hull.
Exactly, even if they were shite poor, this is the kind of performance we want to see against every single shite side we'll play. It's not like Palace, Sunderland, Swans or Burnley were world beaters yet we haven't looked 1/100 as comfortable as we have today.This shite gets cycled after every game we win. It's boring, and a disservice to ourselves as well as the international footballers on show for Hull.
Some don't seem to be able to separate the performance of the opposition from our own performance. The fact is that even if Hull weren't much of a threat, we still looked comfortable and did all the right things that we should have done. We did the job that was expected and got the points. Sometimes when you sense that the opposition is terrible, you know that you don't have to put in as much of an effort and so you take it easier. It just means that you don't exert as much of yourself as you usually do as it is unnecessary otherwise but you still do enough to get a result.This shite gets cycled after every game we win. It's boring, and a disservice to ourselves as well as the international footballers on show for Hull.
They tried to press us and harass us in the opening of each half but it quickly became apparent that they were chasing shadows, Uniteds possession just battered them into submission fairly quickly.unbelievably poor Hull side... QPR level of bad
That's hot.Not long back from the game and it was a very good performance and result.
Van Gaal is really starting to stamp himself on the team.
I would say QPR had more chances in that game to score than Hull today and we looked real dodgy at the back despite winning 4-0 in that match. Today Hull didn't have any full chance to score and our possession was a lot faster than the QPR match.unbelievably poor Hull side... QPR level of bad
Mata was one of the best players today - not sure what you saw.-Mata: It's not so much he doesn't have pace, but I felt his decision making was very slow today. He needed a long time on the ball in order to actually create something which is what we just won't have against the bigger teams. He also gets bodied off too much. I personally don't think he brings enough to the team/enough unique qualities to the team to warrant a starting spot. We would have done just as well without him today imo.
-Falcao: His movement wasn't bad, but his touch was heavy again and needs to put that 90th minute chance away.
I was probably a little harsh on Falcao, but I stand by my opinion on Mata. I just didn't see him create anything of note today and thought he was caught in possession more than once. If Di Maria had not been injured and seeing how Herrera played today, I would start Herrera over MataMata was one of the best players today - not sure what you saw.
Falcao came on once the rest of the team deided to stop playing. His link up play was very good.
