Carrick, there's no rule against running with the ball once you receive it, it's not netball.
 
Great finish by Januzaj but handball supposedly in the build up.
 
We've played through the middle in the first ten minutes than we did in the whole 90 against Fulham. Being one dimensional isn't exclusive to wide play. If we just played through the one middle that would be one-dimensional and arguably just as easy to defend against. We're mixing it up which is the best way to go.


I hope that continues for the rest of the match.
 
Way too many players taking up positions really far forward.

But good start otherwise.
 
Why is Fellaini drifting up.front? That leaves Carrick on his own in the middle of the pitch.
It's called getting forward when we attack. It has been missing from our team for a while.
 
Really need a goal here to open it up. Palace are taking a Fulham style approach. Get a goal and they'll have no choice but to start actually trying to do something other than every man behind the ball and try a quick counter attack every half hour.
 
Fellaini been good so far, will hopefully prove to be a good squad player for us.
 
Fellaini looks much quicker in his first 20 mins than in his previous games. Don't like how early he goes to the box and due Rooney or Mata drop deep but good game so far from him.
 
Quite a good start. Let's see if we've got enough to break through this kind of defense. The longer we don't score, the more tempting it will be to get it wide and lump it into Fellaini
