Great work with the reverse jinx lads.

It seems to work I had a £25 at 50-1 for the draw when 2-0 up I thought I’ll cash out, hoping we get a winner but I didn’t have time! The cash out apparently was £767.00 however the good news is I had a £5 on United to win 18-1 at 3-2 so I got money back and don’t care so happy we won that game!

There’s an awful long way to go, it’s a shame we can’t get a mobile BTB midfielder in and then play Bruno False 9, Mbeumo and Amad on the wings and use Cunha, Sesko to come from the bench.

We are just to easily to play through at the moment, far too easy?
 
Very good 3 points. I thought everyone played their part so it was just a great team effort and win. Carrick has instilled a great team attitude.

That turn from Bruno for the assist was great. Bruno has to sell that perfectly to pull it off because we all know he has little pace.

Goal from Cunha was also great. A few plays stand out but no player really stood out the whole match. Again, just a great team effort.

I really hope we get a DM as good as Berge next season.
 
Teams have to stop scoring worldies against us eventually, dont they? Aston villa and now this, what the heck
 
Can't be mad at the Kevin goal but the reaction to going down 2-1 was not good. We shouldn't have sat so deep.

Also Bruno wasn't as helpful in midfield as he has been in our last 2 games and it immediately showed because we were constantly getting outnumbered in there.

All in all we deserved to win that game over the course of the 90. Casemiro, Amad and Mainoo were our 3 best players. Onwards and upwards.
 
So happy to get the win and very pleased for Sesko! The absolute jubilation in that celebration was immense. Over the summer we desperately need 2 new CMs - we barely had control before Casemiro was subbed off and lost all control, guile, and defensive positioning when Ugarte came on.
 
Fulham aren't chumps for sure in this moment, and maybe just about deserved a draw tbf - the quality from Bruno and Sesko for the third though was sublime.

Sesko's awareness there for where the top corner was just so so good! Lammens had a great game as well and nearly saved that penalty there. Bruno and Casemiro as always, just a class apart.

Negatives: Thought we dropped off towards the middle of the game + Ugarte just seemed MIA today and didn't give us any control, a very frustrating player.
 
3 best United players:

1) Casemiro
2) Bruno
3) Martinez

3 worst United players:

1) Maguire
2) Mbeumo
3) Ugarte (the game changed, when he came on for Casemiro)

Not even close. Pep. Arteta. Dyche. The list goes on

Arteta I'll agree with, Silva's sideline antics are of a similar ilk. If Conte and Klopp were still in the league, they'd be equals too. They're all so far over the top in both their celebrations and their whining. I'd still put Pep slightly below all of those. Dyche is a whiner, but I kind of like him.
 
Was there a check on Mbeumo in the first half? Should have been a red and/or pen.

Also Jiminez looked offside before the pen
 
Deserved 3 points for Utd in the end, we could have been out of sight before Fulham's first if we had'nt have been so wasteful in the final 3rd.

Surely the way that soft Fulham penalty was taken was illegal, if it wasnt it should be.
 
Sesko should have made it 3-0, and that would have been an easier finish to the game. pleased for him to get the winner.
Bounced back after Fulham's second goal (typical of course that's Kevin's first PL for them).
Martinez immense near the end, Casemiro (how can you replace him). Despite conceding 2, Lammens looked solid and his presence makes a difference

And bear in mind Fulham are a handy decent team. They're no pushovers. Berge looks a tidy player.
 
Casemiro is our most important player in midfield. Completely went to shit without him.

As long as we're winning for now, I don't care. Long term this isn't the way to play, though.

100% hitting the Cunha celebration next goal I score.
 
Once Casemeiro went out we completely lost control of the midfield and the game. This is not the first time it happened. This is consistently the problem whenever Casemeiro not playing.

He is leaving us next season and we desperately need to find a solution here. We need to sign Anderson and Baleba next season. Hope they can fill the void. Ugarte is really not the answer.

Back to the game, wonderful 3 games in a row! Lots of actions and world class goals. We are back!
 
This felt like an old school league game managed by Fergie back in the days. My heart can’t take this anymore, but damn I celebrated Sesko’s winner like I haven’t done in ages. Lacked control in the centre of the pitch at times, but credit to Fulham, they’ve been excellent and probably would’ve deserved the draw.

Overall it feels good to look forward to games again, long may it continue.

Good result. Thought Fulham were the better side though.

I disagree. We deserved that. Fulham are a v good, well managed team... but they were not better than us today. You cannot always just outplay a team.. that's kids football.

Manchester United should welcome the challenge of good opponents. Over the last few years, we have become fearful, lacking confidence, fragile.

The last three games has seen really good progress. And a good thing about all this? Carrick, Holland and Woodgate will know we need to keep our heads, and we also need to add a player or two. Mazraoui is an important player to have available. We will need those youngsters too, Shea Lacey, Ayden Heaven etc.

We're doing well. Feels good.
 
A bit wobbly at times, but generally I think we're progressing well. Lammens, Bruno, Case and Martinez did very well today. Harry looked shaky, and Cunha lost the ball a little to often.

But how wonderful to get goals from the bench again. Now it's two games in a row. Don't remember too many substitute goals earlier in the season.

The result is the most important part. Thank you for not giving up completely, team. :)
 
It’s always going to be a fine margin between us and very good sides like Fulham. At least until we develop better chemistry in the final third. But despite Fulham’s heroic comeback we got the match winner and the deserved victory.

So many fantastic individual performances today but we got flaccid when we tried to remain erect.
 
I felt we were firmly in control for the first hour, great passing and perfectly weighted crosses. That said, you can see us dropping off with some of the more senior players notably Casemiro, Bruno and Maguire tiring, that’s why it was imperative to buy/loan an extra midfielder to cover for fitness and injuries.
 
Great goal from Cunha but his first touch at times feels like a tackle. :lol:

Yes, but almost fecked up by the Maguire tackle while Lammens was there. The whole formation fell apart after the 2-1. Then the worldie from Kevin, but luckily Šeško was there to slot it home.

Nice to see everyone so happy for him.

Yeah it was tough on Maguire who I felt was excellent all game.

All too often we see the whole thing collapse but magic to see Sesko get the winner. There seems a genuine team spirit for the first time since... possibly Ole.

Bruno's dummy run for the winner shouldn't be allowed on tv pre watershed
 
Are we the team that concedes the most worldies in the league? it's unbelievable, it's like every other game.

Amazed that VAR didn't give us the penalty. The defender did not touch the ball.

Very happy for Sesko. Deserved to score the winning goal, after scoring 2 previously but having to settle for a draw.

Amad was amazing throughout.

Casemiro is my MOTM. He will be difficult to replace this summer team lost control after he went off yet again

They need to return to the negotiating table with Casemiro

So many wasted points in that mad run v Leeds, Wolves and Burnley. 3 points from that run was criminal.
Even worse the loss at home to 10men for 80mims Everton.

Villa just lost to 10-men Brentford! So balances out :lol:
 
Only got to see added time, so annoyed to see Fulham make it 2-2 when I started to watch but delighted to get the win in the end.

Going by the stats not a great performance?
 
Nice to see some great goals, a win and decent performance but the old frailties remain. We always seem to be in limbo whether to attack or defend leads. Until we get some control in midfield nothing will change. Bruno outstanding. I really don't know what would happen to our creativity if he leaves. Happy with sesko. His goal was well taken.
Playing a high line with Maguire is suicidal. That's why Fulham came back into it. Now let's beat spurs.
 
Nice to see the team seem to be getting beyond the old fragility that would have let that game slip away.

I think we are missing a trick by not trialling Mazraoui or Heaven in that DM role, at least after subbing off Casemiro. Ugarte is hopeless in this league and we need some left field solution from within the squad for the remainder of the season.
 
I know we lacked control at times but didn’t that feel like a proper United win? Delighted for Sesko. Man are we going to miss Casemiro.
 
That's a Fergie time winner right there!

Our weaknesses and strengths were laid bare today. We can't match physicality and pace in the middle areas which leads us getting cut through whenever we apply a high press. But we have some truly wonderful players on the ball, whose quality can get us through any match. Bruno and Casemiro are truly special players.
 
It really feels like we have something about us again. When we conceded the equalizer I felt like we were going to go on and score, and I’ve not felt that in a long time
