Forgot about this game being on today, not watching it, and now I hear we're 2-0 up and actually playing fairly well and even counterattacking. I want to now tune in and see us play entertaining football as it has been so long, but I'm afraid I'll jinx it

We are not playing entertaining football, it's untidy from both teams and Newcastle are really disorganized.

 

[duffer]

You're gonna pick these off on the break many times. Their defense is slow as shit.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

Nah it was a great pass, got Rooney right into the box with it... the less running Rooney has to do with the ball, the better.

it was touch and go if he would get there before the defender or the goal keeper. It was over-hit. But I see what you mean if it was a little further back he would have stopped and checked back and it would be circulating back to the center circle lol

 

[shabadu84]

No excuse to not score again, they're ripe for the counter

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

That is what pace does! Totally stretching the defense apart.

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Please Fellaini off at ht.

Or it'll be a red

 

[Hammerfell]

People don't like him

He's very easy to dislike.

 

[prath92]

I'm sorry but how can people blame Fellaini for that?
Sneiderlin shit closing down and smalling for being asleep.

You are spot on (except for Schneiderin's spelling :P)

 

[Judge Red]

Too much excitement for my heart to take. Sack LVG.

 

[Cina]

A lot hate for Fellaini here but he's still been less rubbish than Schneiderlin.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Looking dangerous on the counter with our front three. Loving it. We look like we've got more goals in us.

 

[Amethyst]

Can I criticise Schneiderlin with the Caf exploding on me? I realise he's in the middle with Fellaini, but that's no excuse to be completely absence from this game.

He's been invisible this half, genuinely can't remember anything he's done.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Can I criticise Schneiderlin with the Caf exploding on me? I realise he's in the middle with Fellaini, but that's no excuse to be completely absence from this game.

He is a caf darling but he doesn't do enough in general for me at all

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

Pele was a much better header in black and white.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

What is this I am watching. I have heard Legends of this.. this counter-attacking style.. could it be??

 

[kouroux]

feck off football Just went for a piss (and more) and missed the goals.

 

[diarm]

This is the best game United have been involved in this season. The overall quality mightn't be great and we've looked shaky at the back at times, but god I would take this every day of the week over the awful "safe" shite we've been lumped with.

 

[OutOfTowner]

Boom. First half goal duck is finally broken.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

He is a caf darling but he doesn't do enough in general for me at all

I have to say I did not even know he was playing and I am watching it live.

 

[Moonred]

Nonsense with all the Fellaini hate for the goal. It was a good goal, further Smalling went completely missing.

 

[Moriarty]

We are not playing entertaining football, it's untidy from both teams and Newcastle are really disorganized.

Yes, but it's more entertaining that the usual philosophy stuff. We do look a bit more animated tonight.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Well... this has been like switching from boxers to a mankini.

 

[christinaa]

What I'm worried is the we haven't dominated the game till now.

 

[Spoony]

Good away performance. Lucky not to have conceded a penno though.

 

[squidoo]

You are spot on (except for Schneiderin's spelling :P)

I don't even bother to try and learn his name...he won't be here long enough haha

 

[saivet]

We are not playing entertaining football, it's untidy from both teams and Newcastle are really disorganized.

That"s how I've seen it too. We've not be great. Newcastle look woeful though.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Good half. Started slowly, but settled after we got the goal. Since then, we've looked really dangerous on the counter. Hopefully we can kill the game off in the 2nd half.

 

[Irrational.]

It's been a fun half.

Counterattacking wise we look very dangerous.

Fellaini just reminds me of this:



We definitely need him off in the second half.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

pretty happy with the first half, 2 cracking goals and a dodgy pen. far better than most of the United games I have watched this season.

 

[Ish]

Morgan was at fault if anyone for losing his man. There's more goals in this for sure.

Smalling wasn't it?

People don't like him

Yeah, I'm not his biggest fan either but I try my best to be objective

 

[diarm]

Boom. First half goal duck is finally broken.

People keep saying this but hasn't the first half goal issue been largely at Old Trafford? I didn't think it had been an issue away from home?

 

[Fully Fledged]

They've been too open. Played right into our hands. Then we let them back in.

 

[SalfordRed1960]

We cause our only problems with stupid passing decisions. I would take Fellani off or he will get sent off.

Some nice attacking play at times, but pretty sure the Geordies will go for it now.

 

[red_devil83]

Surely someone in our squad must be able to take corners consistently? Everyone so far has been fecking awful

 

[hobbers]

Take Fellaini off for a footballer and we'll see this out 3 or 4-1 easily.

 

[Kearnkoff69]

It's weird that you always seem to lose your concentration after scoring a goal.

Most vulnerable the first and last 5 minutes of each half, and the first 5 minutes after a goal is what my trainer always told me growing up. What's shocking is how often professional footballers allow concentration to slip like that when everyone and their mum knows the old adage.

 

[Raw]

It's been good. It's been entertaining. Much better than the usual 0-0.

Need to tighten things up a bit, we can do them on the counter.

 

[3KDré]

Take Fella off for Pereira and play 4-3-3 like last season and we've won the game.

 

[EyeInTheSky]

Nah we won't loose, we might lose though.

I think we will Louis

 

[Irrational.]

Literally?

You know what I meant.

 

[OutOfTowner]

This is a strange experience, not wanting to throw a curtain pole through my TV.
