Can we try Bruno to be false nine to replace Ronaldo as CF.

What a match. Bonus points for our Swedes for some shithousery.

Dirty Leeds had 6 yellows.. Shouldve been 10. We shouldve had a pen. On another day, wouldnt have conceded any..

Was an easy game.. made interesting by the freak weather and the ref not stamping his authority for a long time and letting things slide.

Leeds really need to sort their defence out.. they are so so open.

Great performance. We were well on top in the first half and deserved our two goal lead. Leeds comeback was part luck and part poor mentality on our part, but we showed real heart in winning the slog in the last 30 min.

Felt like a game we would have drawn a year ago.

After the first 15 minutes of the second half, I thought our energy level and intensity was impressive (by our standards). Sancho is excellent. Fred with a beauty. Bruno with some great work in the final third. Mctominay living the thug life. Ronaldo quiet. Lindelof good.

Some great fight there. At least one undeserved goal from Leeds.
Nice to see some heart.

I'm tired just watching that.

A really good battling win though. If this squad has that in them, there's some kind of chance for them.

Spent ninety minutes shouting and swearing at the tele, but that must have been an amazing game for the neutral.

Big win, that.

Sancho was fantastic. As were our Centre backs who shouldn’t lose credit for a typical meltdown at the start of the second half.

Pogba and Fred were brilliant too and showed amazing composure in the trickiest of environments.

I thought Maguire was a terrible CB...but the Leeds defenders really put that theory to the test today.

Felt like I was transported back to the 90s watching that... Had my baseball cap on backwards and my poppers on and everything.

feck me I’m wet through. Couldn’t be dropping points to that shit. These first minutes after HT are killing us. Fair play to a few of the players who stepped up and showed some desire. Great to see Lindelöf sticking up for Elanga and Ralf on the pitch swinging his weiner around. Pogba played well first half and at least, although we are braindead at times, we are starting to resemble a team.

A game that had it all. Well, except "perfect playing condition" part, but well played by the team.

Weather spoiled a lot of passes I think, but were getting a bit of form going. Sancho is starting to look the part. Elangas confidence will be sky high. Only need Leeds to get fined for it to be a good weekend.

Entertaining match, especially the second half.

Sancho is again showing why we chased him for two years.

great game, made extra fun by the waterlogged pitch

I thought we'd feck it up after that Elanga miss but we actually did well, also we were very solid when we went 5 at the back, great decision by Ralf

Great game. Bruno worked his socks off. Pogba and Lindelöf excellent.

Pitch conditions made things a bit flukey in second half. But we dug deep and found the deservee win. Happy with that.

Best game of the season, by a long way. Really enjoyable and memorable.

The conditions made it a fun contest.

Sancho is starting to cook!

Wow, as usual we made things hard for ourselves but I enjoyed that thoroughly. Sancho excellent. Rangnick's fist pump in front of our fans at the end was also nice to see.

Thought Fred was brilliant when he came on. Not just the goal, he pressed well and kept the ball ticking over.
Good thing Ralf got it right with those mind boggling subs.

Great win though it's worrying signs again with us again conceding goals in first 10 minutes of 2nd half, 2 today in 30 seconds or so.

Fred game changer I'd say.

Very good - very poor - very good again. It's just what we do.
Some cracking goals today.

good game. It’s always like this against leeds as their defense is terrible. Generally good performance though we need to learn how to maintain our composure when 2-0 up. Scored a goal from set play, that’s something I haven’t seen in a long time.

sancho, bruno, pogba, lindelof were very good. Fred when he came on wasn’t bad either

Great result.

Shoutout especially to Sancho, Bruno, Lindelof. Pogba had a good half as well, and did Pastor Fred when he came on.


Happy for the 3 points!
