    I'm watching on ESPN in Spanish and they showed McTominay's collision just there. The commentator says "oof! Sandwich Ingles!"
     
    To be fair, their keeper did really well closing him down. Didn’t have much to aim for
     
    Should've taken that across the defender and onto his stronger left foot. Poor from Lukaku.
     
    Lukakus never looked at the keeper that he was of his line, I expected a chip.
     
    No wonder I have half an eye on the bake off. Crap football to watch.

    Thankfully they have an unlucky lad in goal.

    Martial has at least tried to make this entertaining. The rest have been dire. The passing has been woeful.
     
    Decent half. Hopefully we're just that bit more clinical in the 2nd half so we can go into cruise mode.
     
    Savage tells us that Kane would have buried it.
     
    Mostly cak. Lucky to go in ahead at half time. We could do with going 4-3-3. Again, the midfield 2 have been totally outnumbered. I don't understand Mou's obsession with playing 4-2-3-1 when not one of our #10s is in form.
     
    I can't wait till Zlatan is back.

    Lukaku really needs some competition to push him out of his poor form.
     
    Boring half, very flat game but glad we got the needed goal.

    Martial is the bright thing going forward but by the end of the half he was starting to become a bit more selfish, needs to release the ball faster.

    I'm starting to see what Jose see in Scott, he's a younger version of Fellaini, excellent physical presence in the midfield even if he's not doing flicks and tricks he can be very useful to Jose.

    Matic class as usual. The rest are quite poor and playing in second gear.
     
    we have been terrible. The midfield is non existent and Bailly seems to be in a world of his own. Maybe no matter how terrible he plays Jose plays Mikhi for a reason? Martial has been our best player and only player to be playing. We are playing long because Lingaard has no clue and the midfield is empty.
     
    I'd love to kick Savage square in the bollocks
     
    WOW that was a crazy own goal, Lukaku never looked like scoring that chance , I was expecting a chip.
    Not sure what has pissed me off more that first half Lukakau missing or Robbie fecking Savage on BT Sports.
     
    Shit atmosphere. Its like being in a funeral sometimes at OT.
     
    Lingard in the middle doesn't work, either sub him or switch position with Mata.
     
    Martial is literally the only thing worth watching during United games these days. Everyone else is just so shit.

    Yup. Really, really solid game by young Scott today.
     
    Poor enough performance. Whole team does not look up for it bar Martial and one or two others. Second to a lot of 50/50 balls. Grew into the game as the half wore on.

    Having said that we should probably be 3-0 up if we scored the penalty and Lukaku took that chance just there.
     
    Mctominay is doing well in the last 15 minutes. He's taken control of the midfield and won the ball three or four times. Good to see Mata getting more involved too. Not sure who the co commentator is on my feed but I think United might have murdered his entire family.
     
    Paul parker just shut the feck you ABU cnut. All he ahs done is talk bullshit about united and how shit we are. I hope they just let us chose our commentators cause i would listen to this match in punjabi rather than paul . I hope he bites his tongue real hard and isnt able to speak for a couple of days. Destroying the experience of watching the match. Just retire from commentating you idiot batshit crazy man. Just go away from my T.v.

    We are doing the job.
     
    I still don’t understand, or like, this setup that says we are only allowed to create anything from our left. So lopsided and one dimensional going forward. But there’s obviously a rule where Rashford and Martial can’t play as wingers together.
     
    I would almost put my house on Lukaku missing a one-on-one at the moment. We desperately need him to regain his confidence in front of goal if we're going to get anything against Chelsea.
     
    Svilar's been great so far. So fecking unlucky though :lol: Poor guy.
    Underwhelming half.
