Don’t make me search for his utterly shite and worthless posts mate.The Jorginho comment seemed very odd.

Hmmm, maybe he got backed into, but he never gave up an opportunity due to being muscled off the ball. I think he had a solid game despite the clear nerves.He got outmuscled numerous times.
It was something about Fellaini being played as if he's Jorginho.Don’t make me search for his utterly shite and worthless posts mate.

Here ya go...It was something about Fellaini being played as if he's Jorginho.
That's not how we should be playing football, we used to have Carrick in that role and now we have a huge lump who can barely pass it five yards sideways, we basically have Fellaini in the role Jorginho is playing for Chelsea, it's ludicrous.
Thanks. After they announced that they no longer supported United blah blah none of it’s posts can be taken seriously. I have seen less attention seeking sulks on big brotherHere ya go...
It was good; I thought so anywayI did but don't think it was that popular. I can retry it but not able to watch the post match stuff yet.

Trolls. Put them on ignore and weed it down to United supporters or at least football fans.Can't believe some of the comments putting Utd. down. Some would only be happy if we had won 10-0 and hadn't conceded a shot on target. So Burnley were poor? In the post SAF era we're more than capable of finding a way to lose against anyone, especially away at Burnley. Only 2 nil, Pogba missed a penalty and Rashford sent off? I can't believe Mourinho doesn't walk out after that.
All the hate on Big Rom too. By now, if you can't accept that he will miss more than his fair share then don't bother watching. He's what we have, for better or worse, so we might as well support him. Why not focus on the two he scored and be satisfied.
There's some evidence we're trying to play more on the front foot. Ok it failed spectacularly against Spurs but we were good today. At least we can go into the international break with some optimism.
Interesting.Can we hope that it's not a false dawn, but that Mourinho is changing his style and giving more influence to McKenna?

Same here. I saw flashes of improvement in general play but no belief. If we keep playing like we did today while our players improve in the new attacking approach I'm all for MourINho. On another day we'd have won 7-0 with those 21 attempts*.Interesting.
After the Tottenham debacle, I wanted Mourinho out because it seemed like we'd regressed and he'd lost the dressing room. But if the reality behind the scenes is different, I'm more than happy for the club to keep him on.
The passing against Burnley was very good, it has to be said. Breaking through a 10 man defence is never easy, regardless of the quality of the opposition.
Joe Hart played a blinder to be fair. Best I've seen him in years.
Encouraging words to hear. Watford will be more of a proper test and we'll see how we'll play.Can we hope that it's not a false dawn, but that Mourinho is changing his style and giving more influence to McKenna?

They also felt that Mee's arm stretching out and beating the ball away from Lukaku's path was because he fell while pulling at (fouling) Lukaku... so I guess that's ok then.MOTD weren’t even talking about the supposed foul on Lukaku when he went round Hart. Can’t believe a lot of you thought it was a pen. Red (or pink?) tinted goggles.
Stats and my analysis and final scores do not back this up. The really bad match in my book was Spurs 0-3. Passing was good against Brighton and Burnley (Joe Hart stopped a 0-6). Brighton had the rub of the green enabling them to exploit mistakes at optimum times. I could see the Spurs defeat coming as the shape was all over the shop. Against Brighton it was only really Young and Bailly that had stinkers. i thought Brighton confirmed that Matic and Pogba in front of Smalling and Lindelof should be an automatic choice.Only the Brighton game has been awful. The performances in the other games, today included, should be good enough for a decent finish.
I commend you for your ability to stay open for several possibilities. I think this is game was a direct continuation of how we played against Spurs until we shipped two in two minutes. The evidence of fighting spirit was there to be seen in that game, unlike in the two first games. Wether we’ll continue to improve or fall back remains to be seen.Interesting.

This looks interesting. Doucure is a good player and Watford play a narrow system without out and out wingers to worry about. Watford don't have to worry about wingers either! Holebas and Janmatt have been playing well for Watford but i've never rated them.Encouraging words to hear. Watford will be more of a proper test and we'll see how we'll play.
At least they talked about it. That’s an arguable opinion, Lukaku’s penalty call wasn’t.They also felt that Mee's arm stretching out and beating the ball away from Lukaku's path was because he fell while pulling at (fouling) Lukaku... so I guess that's ok then.
Can't say I thought the passing was good against Brighton. It's true that they exploited some big mistakes and especially 3-1 was incredible timing for them. But the way we reacted was far from positive, with a second half with very few chances.Stats and my analysis and final scores do not back this up. The really bad match in my book was Spurs 0-3.

Yeah, I've kept giving NBC's commentary chance after chance after a good first few impressions, but they've gone downhill. To be fair, I can say that about any commentator nowadays. If we only had more Higginbotham or Ekoku types...There was a lot of nonsense from the pair of them. Conveniently ignoring that Bardsley should have been given a red card...And if you watch it live in pretty sure pushed his head back into Rashford anyway. Somehow thinking the ref had awarded a penalty when he gave a goal kick. At one point they kept calling Smalling "Lindelof"...I mean an easy mistake, apart from the difference in size, height, completely different hair, skin colour, general physical appearance, giant name and number printed on his back. Etc...
The "worst start since 1993" lie got another airing too.
Yeah we played well. Beyond that, it was also very entertaining. On another day, Burnley could’ve seen red on more than one occasion, the ref also turned pens away for us... he had a mare basically.Typical. First match I missed and we looked like we did well according to you lot on here and youtube highlights. What was up with the ref then?

I'd say the team showed much more spirit and determination against Spurs. And today 6-0 as you say, our most dominant performance yet.
