Everyone Gets an 8 except

McT gets a 9 for bullying the scousers midfield
Rashford gets a 9 for flying into tackles
Martinez gets a 9 for being everywhere
Malacia gets a 9 for keeping Salah in his pocket
Bruno gets a 9 for being Bruno
Martial gets a 7 for sulking and not pressing


Squeky bum time at the end.

Loved how the supporters helped each other and praised during the first half when we needed the belief.

DeGea basically told the defenders DO NOT pass to me!

Sell Shaw! Sack Ronie!

We needed this badly. Dodgy at the end but we did it. Probably didn't need to concede but luckily we had 2. Yes!!! Hopefully this leads to something.

Just get FDJ, I can't take much more of this.

What a game though. Varane / Martinez MOMs for me. Shout out to Malacia for dealing with Salah all game.

The Manchester United players tried ever so well and they deserved victory, it was great to overturn all their critics.

P.S. I was right United are better without Ronaldo playing.

Varane and Martinez are the pair to move forward with, balance of qualities, Malacia needs a run and the forwards have to keep working like that, Martial did great with his hold up play, add Casemiro to the CB pair and there is the beginning of a spine.

Chris Sutton's prediction before the game:


Manchester United v Liverpool (20:00)

If Manchester United win this game, they leapfrog Liverpool in the table, but that is not going to happen.

United aren't able to press teams with the players they have got, and I don't really know what Erik ten Hag can change with what he has got in his squad.

Liverpool have started slowly too, and Darwin Nunez's suspension won't help on top of their injuries. That leaves them a bit short up front, although Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz looked lively against Palace.

Whatever happens, you just know Jurgen Klopp's side will outwork United at the very least.

Maybe United's players will run around a little bit more this week than they did against Brentford, but they need to find some heart. Unless something happens this week that triggers a change in attitude in the squad, I don't see it happening.

The home crowd will be willing them to take the game to Liverpool, and if they do that then they are in big trouble because that's when Klopp's side are at their best.

They won 5-0 at Old Trafford last season and it is going to be a similar story this time, although I am going to give United a goal just to lift their spirits a little.

Sutton's prediction: 1-5
Get fecked, Chris.

We just saw the match where Lisandro and Malacia set their first team places as the new Vidic and Evra

The shithousery in the last 5 minutes was by far the best part of the game.

Malacia MOTM for me, Martinez close second. I hate to be negative but this is what you can do if you if you don’t have AWB, Maguire and Shaw tripping over the ball.

good step. Like seeing players such as maguire/shaw dropped when that wouldnt have happened before. Still need to add some to midfielder, and just get ronaldo sold to bring in another attacker. Then should be good to go and see how things can turn around

There was a fighting spirit today, it needs to be said. Good victory, deserved today! And it will be easier later on with Casemiro et al coming

This is the beginning.

There's gonna be ups and downs, but we've seen a glimpse of what we can become.
