Jurgen are you listening
Keep the trophy glistening
We'll be back in May
To take it away
Walking in an ole wonderland

Henderson has a shaky game in his 2nd league start for us and people want to bin him. Jesus wept. De Gea was shaky for his first 12 months for us.

We played some good stuff, definitely still some issues to resolve though. We lack mental strength and struggle to control games when we should. It’s a bit of a lack of experience all around. Need more players of Bruno’s ilk.

3-1 up and we lose complete control of the game.
Hanging on for 3 points is unacceptable against a team like this.

OGS is a tactical genious - he told his players to give Sheffield United an early goal - so why can start playing football in the first half.

Yikes, should have put that to bed to avoid such a nervy end. But it's a deserved win.

My only qualm is the slow start, we need to stop starting games so casually especially with Leeds round the corner.

We're improving. Just like to see us a bit more stable at the back.

Important win.

If we could defend man what a team we could be. However, we keep winning and its becoming a habit. At the end of the day a win is a win and if we keep winning...

I thought we were unlucky. We played well apart from the nightmare start. Should and could have scored a lot more than 3. Now if we can beat Leeds we can be back in business.

We made it hard for no reason. But deserved win. Sheffield Utd are shite this season. Terrible first goal to concede, soft as feck 2nd (we're terrible defending corners), but in between was comfortable.

Nervy finish. Need to sort out our whole defensive structure. Good win and some good attacking moves. Henderson had a shocker.

If we could stop conceding horrendously shit goals, we’d be a great team.

the quality of what we concede is so bad,

Both goals today
Leipzig’s first and third
West Ham goal
Spurs first
Brightons second

all hideous, hideous goals to concede

United minus the Glazers
Promising attack but woeful scatter-gun defending. Still showing no signs of being a well drilled side defensively. A few players still seem a tad panicky when pressed.

no point having a well oiled attack and a porous defence.

The least consistent team in the history of football. We get outplayed for the first and last 10 minutes of the game and in between that we are steamrolling them.

"real good nose to nose battle" :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Some great football, some utter poo.


All in all, the inability to put this sort of games to bed is worrying.

Let's just savour the 3 goals and 3 points.

We don't do things easy.

Whew, what a nervy ending to what was otherwise easy game. United like to do it the hard way don't they :D

Pogba was imperious by the way, man of the match performance

Completely unnecessary to make it so hard for ourselves. Telles couldn’t win a single header even if he tried 100000 times.

We need to be more clinical against better teams. How many easy chances did we miss before they pulled one back? That game should have been way out of their reach with 30 minutes remaining.

Both goals were flukey, so can't fault the defenders on either one. The goalie on the other hand is a different thing for the first goal, Henderson had no business taking an extra touch there.

Glad to see Tony get off the mark and some quality finishing from Rashford.

Managed to make this a lot harder for ourselves than it should have been. Should have boosted our GD tonight after 1-3.
