United up into third but far from convincing...

 

[charleysurf]

Awful First half. Better 2nd, but only because Burnley tired.

Positives: 3 points, Di Maria better

Negatives: Jonny Evans was disastrous, Blind out for 2 weeks, Jones injured, Januszaj poor, Falcao diabolical, McNair not a RB


Herrera will have to get games now, due to the injuries. Hopefully he'll take the chance. Rooney has to replace Falcao up front. We need Carrick back soon. And Rojo or McNair must play at CB instead of Evans.

 

[Hoof the ball]

We're third, again.

Can't take that away from LvG..... in a much more competitive season as a whole, we're third.

 

[togg]

pleased about the win....pretty displeased with the way we are playing....but what's new...

 

[paulscholes18]

Much better 2nd half and a deserved 3 points

 

[Robbie Boy]

Falcao & Van Persie axis of beauty

 

[togg]

is that 18 games unbeaten?

 

[Kazi]

Atmosphere in that first half felt really toxic. Hopefully we'll start some midfielders in our next league match.

 

[ha_rooney]

Good result, awful performance. I suppose as long as we finish in the top 4, that is all that matters.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

A win is a win, that's the only positive to take from that game.

 

[poisson]

Shit 1st half.

Good 2nd, enjoyed it actually

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Better 2nd half. Better as in we didn't get dicked, but we were still a bit muck.

First half was one of the worst I've seen at Old Trafford.

 

[Wumminator]

Third.

In a season where Burnley have come from 2-0 down at City.

We're a good team. Hope we slowly get better.

 

[Kostur]

Happy with the three points and that's the only thing you can be happy about today I guess.

Oh, and SOTON drew against Allardyce.

 

[rpitchfo]

went from fecking disgraceful....to very bed....to pretty bad.

I thought some players were slightly improved on recent form though. Di Maria, Mcnair, Herrera. Rojo weren't too bad.

 

[Revan]

Shit first half, decent second half.

Thought that Di Maria was really good today. Smalling scored twice but his defending was quite shocking at times.

Soton didn't won which is also great. Third again but any slip might be costly.

 

[Feed Me]

Won't be long until people are calling for Van Gaal's head.

Terrible performance and absurd tactics today.

 

[Cina]

Playing like that to grind out wins against the second worst team in the league at Old Trafford.

Well..

 

[thegregster]

We we good for around the last 35mins.

 

[Sammyjunn]

How many chances have we created from open play vs Burnley? Abysmal.

 

[ivaldo]

Its official we are back into 3rd.

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

Crap performance but we needed the result.

LvG needs to rethink his whole set up. The penalty came from a vertical pass by a player he doesn't seem to rate, followed up with AdM running directly against the defender. More of that sort of thing PLEASE. Urgency brings the reward

 

[mu77]

crap

 

[Adam-Utd]

Pretty worrying performance but it's the points that matter. Still though usually by this point in the season we are doing well and clicking.

Think a flat 4-4-2 may be the way to go again in the future, we just didn't look normal in the diamond.

 

[Rob Bowman]

Midfielders... I hear they are the wave of the future...

 

[Ramshock]

Too many long balls and LVG is shite because Fergie

 

[Borys]

LvG must draw some conclusions and stop this Falcao-Van Persie and Rooney in midfield nonsense.
I would play McNair ahead of Valencia, he's better offensively. At least against lesser teams.
RvP was good once he decided to play some football.
Herrera didn't put a foot wrong.
Falcao terrible.

 

[Garethw]

is that 18 games unbeaten?

Southampton beat us recently.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

How does Smalling get the majority of votes on the MOTM vote

Better second half. Nice to see Ander with a tidy display. Rooney is lost in midfield. Di Maria looked good. Defence fell apart again with the presence of Evans. Burnley should've scored 3.

The End.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Result: Fine
Performance: Dreadful

 

[Ramshock]

Burnley were robbed.

No they werent in Liverpool tonight...silly dipper

 

[Empire]

I would like to see 442 flat in the next game but with Herrera and either Blind or someone else if he is injured in CM also Young can play wide in that formation if needed.

Rooney as one of the strikers.

 

[paulscholes18]

is that 18 games unbeaten?

No 1 loss in 18

 

[Man-United]

Smalling Motm?! Did people even watch the game tonight?

 

[Trigg]

Good result, shame about the injuries and the much talked about front line, Rooney and Herrera etc.

Not a very convincing performance at all.

 

[manutddjw]

Pleased with the result. Nice to see Di Maria and Januzaj having a go at defenders. De Gea is the man.

That's all I got.

 

[Dunk]

This is the first time I've actually felt bad for another team after beating them, but Burnley should of got something here. Van Gaal needs to sort his tactics and the way the team is playing out. Two goals for Smalling and two assists for Di Maria make them the men of the match, even though Smalling leaves a lot to be desired with his leadership in defence. We need to improve. And Fast! But hey, we're third and gained +2 goals on Southampton as they drew to West Ham somehow.

 

[Hoof the ball]

Won't be long until people are calling for Van Gaal's head.

Terrible performance and absurd tactics today.

Yeah because third place only a few points behind City is atrocious.

 

[ThaReaper01]

Much better 2nd half and a deserved 3 points

If that was the much better half then thank god I missed the first.

 

[Ramshock]

Smalling Motm?! Did people even watch the game tonight?

2 goals aint worth shit these days then? Ok
