Following Martials goal, this is the first season since 1995/96 that United have had 4 players score 10+ goals.

That’s one positive.

At least we won but jeeeez. In the same way a loss to Arsenal didn't tell the story and we actually played well, today was similar but in reverse, got the win but that was fecking atrocious. We won't be able to have a proper discussion about Ole on here as we're winning a good amount and he's a legend etc but there's a lot of similarities to Mourinho's team when we finished 2nd, getting wins most weeks but looking utter shit doing it and very, very negative. His set up is getting a bit concerning now, understandable v Liverpool when we have loads of injuries but at home to Watford? Nah.

Good result, absolutely terrible performance, probably the worst I have seen this season.

Abysmal performance. Excellent result. At this stage of the season it’s all that matters. Work to do over the summer.

That was terrible. Thank feck it's over. Completely undeserved but at least it's a win.

I'm shitting Wolves away and, well, that little game after that, with the form we're in.

Can we buy Doucoure? He can do Herrera and Matic's jobs better than the two combined and then we actually have an extra player to put somewhere.

Shit game but win important for top 4.

Shaw and Jones did really well (despite the Watford goal) but boy, do we need to improve by next season. Anything goes this season though, at this moment, it's all about getting the points.

Absolutely shite, but I guess it's promising that we're able to scrap out wins from games like these.

We're currently playing badly, but we got 3 points.
I'll take that.

We have 2 days to seriously buck our ideas up.

Play like that against Wolves and we will be stung.

Utter shit. Watford were robbed. It's disappointing to see our performances revert to how they were when Mourinho was manager

Let's just pretend that didn't happen. A win is a win but dear god that was pathetic stuff. Watford dominated from start to finish.

I'd give a 6/10 at best to a couple players, the rest come into the category of 'weeks wages fine'.

Dreadful.

A very discouraging performance. It's been a while since we last saw a good, dominant team showing. Watford looked far the better team today.

Things need to improve massively if we have any chance for top 4. Was more like a mourinho win this today.

Somehow got the win.

Interesting thing is that unless Liverpool drop points tomorrow. We will be level on points with Spurs.

Win is a win...
They had a lot of shots but didnt really create all that much in terms of big chances, just their goal. Sloppy as feck game from us in midfield in both sides of the game. Defence did well, attack looked a threat when they got forward but win is a win so all good.

Worst performance this season. Including the Mourinho efforts.

I know people will say 3 points but that was utterly pathetic.

We play like that the rest of the season and whatever points tally we have at the moment is more than likely what we'll finish the season with

You can only hope that we’ve gone full Liverpool and lost interest in anything but the Champions League for the rest of the season.

Our midfield looked like they weren't in it today. Matic sits far too deep. Why does he have go and sit in between Smalling Jones?

Dreadful performance.
I can’t figure out why we sit back and don’t press.

Jones was really good today, as was Smalling.

Disastrous. It was painful to watch. Pogba was nowhere to be seen in that game. Mata just couldn't keep up for the first 40 minutes and Lingard did nothing by coming on either.

Luke Shaw was our best player in my opinion.

We desperately need a better defence, and Matic has declined at a level that's hard to imagine.

Doesn't feel like a win to me, especially with the Barca game coming up. Will take the 3 point of course.
