I think we've controlled the first half so far. Ando, RVP and Rafael our best players so far.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I'm happy with 1-0, shoud be 2 but 2-0 is the most dangerous lead in football, so better we keep it at 1-0.
SAF didn't look pleased, lets hope we will pick it up in the second half.
If only we had Kagawa to play in Rooney's current postition.
FFS ESPN say that SAF knew the whistle was going and there it goes straight to order.
Well that was quite an enjoyable first half, keep up this tempo and we should hopefully get a few in the second half.
Rooney needs to play further up. Too often is there a big gape between the midfielders and the strikers.
Great start.
How are we playing guys?
Lack of quality streams is denying me the chance to watch

At times it seems Cleverley is the AM and Rooney is a CDM, should be Rooney supporting the strikers.
Yeah, playing far too deep for my liking.
Very controlled first half.Anderson has easily been the best player.Some accurate and great passing
Why not offer your point of view, rather than an icon?
I think he had over hit and misshit a number of passes and is not as involved in the game as, say, Anderson.
Do you disagree with that?
Completely agree.
He's clearly been the best player, but it's not like we have been playing like shit.
Not bad, needs in-form wingers.
True. This strikes me as the sort of game where, if we stick to our guns, they just won't be able to keep up the intensity required to keep us out, and we could get plenty in the second half.
Interestingly, Sweden and Ireland are third world countries so technically the caf is as well.
Decent half. Very solid defensively apart from some long balls because of their size. Rooneys playing a bit too deep IMO which is why we seem to be a bit plain while attacking. One thing though, this seems like the perfect formation and lineup for European away games.
There's a bit of room infront of him, because there are two other central midfielders with him.
The entire mentality of our play changes with Ando and Cleverley. It's far more entertaining, deadly and effective. More please.
Half time thoughts, so much better than recent games. Ando bossing it, and Rooney is coming too deep, he's not a CM, needs to be higher up, plays his best football when its around the opposition box.
I cannot believe that in this day and age I cannot pay to watch every match on TV. That is third world.
wazza ia centre forward needs to be further up the field.
Again chico starting hasnt worked.
Ando- at last a mid who can inject some pace and positivity.

Good football. Shit adverts.
Easily
Controlled the game for the most. But nothing spectacular.
I still dont understand those who cannot stand to see scholes in the side. I think he would have been perfect in this side tonight

Bossed the game but we have been poor with the final ball. West Ham ony dangerous from set pieces.
Not a particularly good performance, but still better than previous weeks. The changes in midfield are making a positive difference and give the team a better platform. Just a shame we haven't used it better.
West Ham are typical a typical SA team. They are fooking massive and well set; looking to hit us long. We have been decent. Rafa is an absolute diamond.
Aviator on Sopcast is fantastic.
Download and use PPS, the commentary is in cantonese, but better than all them streams today
Streams are wank tonight, even with sopcast. I'm gonna watch this on MOTD instead and save the frustration of spending the second half wasting my time clicking 'refresh' every 2 minutes.
Absolutely right. He's also not playing great anyway, and he seems to be in positions better occupied by Anderson and Cleverley (who seems a bit subdued).
Really frustrated because West Ham are ripe for a 4 or 5 goal job, but we just seem to be holding back. It's a great opportunity to add to the goal difference and yet again we appear to be not quite in the mood.
good first half, RVP and Anderson both excellent, Rooney has been disappointing.
Rafael and Anderson have been our best players. Oh and we really could do with Rooney not playing that deep. Decent half otherwise but look vulnerable on set pieces.
How are we playing guys?

Not doing as well as we'd hope in the final 3rd, but playing some good stuff and we've had most of the ball.
We cant stand to see Scholes in a 442 with out of form wingers. Scholes in a 433 is fine.
Very harsh on Rooney. We need our full backs higher up the pitch, Evra is doing it but Rafael needs to get up higher when we are attacking (he's playing well though otherwise). Plus we are missing someone who can dribble with the ball ala Nani.
I'd love to see him taking up the positions that Rooney should be occupying tonight. Would provide so much more creativity in that final third of the pitch.
