    Dude, we are 2-0 up in 25 minutes.
    ...and you're complaining?
    No I'm not complaining, I just dont agree with the notion that leading 1-0 and not playing very well at that time in the match shows that we are a very good side, nothing more and nothing less. But I have noticed the most of you guys dont actually read or read what you just want to read.
     
    Joga Bonito and Scissor's kick by Mata and Martial. Man, exciting times for United fans.
     
    Oh no, we're playing Playstation football again. :nervous:
     
    Thats what you make of it, you dont read the post and then add your own intrepretation. I dont know if we are a good side or not, but leading 1-0 to Burton of home certainly wont be the proof of that.
    You didn't answer the question. You said we were being outplayed. Is there a secret message in your post?

    Is there a Most Pessimistic Bastard of the Thread Award I'm not aware of?
     
    I don't care if its Burton or not but this is some stunning football..we've played teams of this quality in the last three seasons and those matches have been quite boring.
     
    I did. You said we were being outplayed (we weren't) by a pubside (a Championship side). It should now be 5.

    Maybe choose a team that wins 10 nil every game to support. I'm sure one exists somewhere.
    Irrelevant post, it was about how we played at that time as you posted it at that time.

    Even if we win 20-0 that wont show that we are a very good side, matches in the PL/Prem against decent opposition will do. And no Im not complaining but actually enjoying how we are playing at the moment.
     
    The players are having a whale of a time.
     
    He is 23. He should be given a looong rope. Making mistakes (even basic) in the first season in PL is ok. As long as he shows the manager he is trying hard to adapt, first season is best forgotten.

    Yeah i know which is why i said early days. Remember as well this is a shit championship team. Hes not adapted well at all. But it is very early. Not sure a whole season is acceptable though.

    I know they are shite but our football has been gorgeous.
     
    The more I watch Martial the more I see him as a forward player. He should be in the box not shunted out wide.

    Exactly. Cambridge United, Shrewsbury and Yeoville Town come to mind. :lol:

    Mate, that post was most likely not just about tonight, rather about the season so far. I mean espouse all you want about people not reading. But reading words isn't enough, comprehension is needed.
