[Wednesday at Stoke]

For the life of me I can't understand what McLean is doing at a pl level club. He should be paying them to use their facilities.

 

[SirAnderson]

Bobby Madley should stay on board duty for the rest of his career please.

 

[peridigm]

We're still dreadful, though, obviously.

Anyone who can’t see were better now than the past 4 years is either blind or stupid.

 

[Massive Spanner]

I should have quit when I said I was going to quit.

Don't ever reply to me on anything ever again, alright?

Yeah you should have before you embarrassed yourself, I agree.

Adiós.

 

[Werd.]

Matic is a machine. Singlehandingly controlling the midfield.

 

[LLMU]

Good half. Two shots and two goals. Matic taking control of the midfield and defence stood their ground well

 

[dichinero]

1st 20mins I have to say I thought we were in for a frustrating day. Just launching it and totally lacking ideas, but since the goal that has pretty much stopped and it’s turned into an impressive display.

We look many times better when we are actually bothered to attack which is what I find frustrating that we don't make that our baseline approach to games.

 

[Darkhorsez]

come on boys. get a third and finish this

This one already finished. Not sure what the stats are for WBA scoring more than a goal. Not good I suspect.

 

[MAME DIOUF 32]

Did anyone see that stat earlier about James McClean having no goals and one assist in his last 40-odd games? Hate crap players like that who stay in the Premier League through "valuable experience" (of failure).

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Anyone who can’t see were better now than the past 4 years is either blind or stupid.

Potentially both.

 

[nore1975]

Interesting looking at MU lineup. 7 of the 11 were either at the club when Ferguson left or came through the youth set up.

 

[Dobba]

Being at home, I can only imagine they'll go for it for the first 10-15 minutes of the second half. Need to keep switched on and get them on the break.

 

[PoTMS]

Professional. Boring. 3 points though.

 

[mitchmouse]

Yeah it's not like Abramovich has sold and bought players against the manager's wishes before.

Oh wait..

supposedly conte is in charge. part of the agreement when he signed and he got all the praise last season. make a stand if he doesn't agree with something. as i said, sorry it doesn't wash

 

[Witchking]

Post 20 mins we have really done well. Excellent goal for Lukaku and Jesse has been making some really good runs. Hopefully a repeat performance in the second half.

 

[SirAF]

Easy.

Would like to see Zlatan and Shaw at some point in the second half.

 

[minoo-utd]

With proper crosser Lukaku will be much threat.

 

[kouroux]

This is terrible. Surely there are other players, even youngsters who can deliver better than this ?

 

[Rajma]

2 goals from 2 shots of targets, it's amazing how our approach is working, but we really don't look great. Jose basically achieved what LvG wanted to do minus the posession.

Today we own the possession stats.

 

[Freak]

Professional display today. Going at it in second gear. Hopefully we get another and we can then give minutes to Shaw and Mctominay.

 

[Massive Spanner]

Abramovich is in charge. He owns the club.

 

[Dargonk]

Decent, if unspectacular half. Nice to be 2 goals up

 

[SwansonsTache]

It would be smart for Mourinho to take out Matic at 60' and replace him with McTominay.

Then Herrera can drop down as the DM and Matic get some rest. McTominay will do the b2b job just as good as Herrera.

 

[PoTMS]

For the life of me I can't understand what McLean is doing at a pl level club. He should be paying them to use their facilities.

0 goals, 1 assist in his last 45 games.

 

[el3mel]

Very easy, even boring. WBA are shite.

Lukaku's header was a beauty.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Love watching Matic play. Our best player today.

 

[Prodigy24]

Matic is exellent, what a signing! Playing as both defensive and attacking midfielder today.

 

[SirAnderson]

2-0 HT. Professional performance

This, but maybe just insert Slow in between those 2 P's.

 

[onemanarmy]

Jinx! He'll give an assist or score after that comment

 

[JonDahl]

Created 1 chance and scored 2 goals. Professional.

 

[Sandyman]

The start was a bit lethargic. No tempo, just playing aimlessly, no fluency, misplaced passes. But since then, have been linking well and attacking with pace.
Regarding Lukaku non celebration - he used to play from West Brom on loan right? Remember him scoring in SAF's last game.

 

[mitchmouse]

very good half from valencia, matic, lingard and jones. good from others except herrera

think he got a hat-trick against us

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

West Brom are muck. Hope we score a few more. Let's get 5 for once.


How good is Matic?

100% this this this. I really hope Jose does this, we need to manage Matic through this festive season games.

 

[Arka_BleedingRed]

="The Bloody-Nine, post: 21859089, member: 108561"]Incredible that we're ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, isn't it.

Incredible that we lost to Man City and Chelsea, drew to Liverpool parking the bus, isn't it?

 

[Needham]

PL needs him. He's the "conscience of the game".

 

[peridigm]

Anyone know what is injury is? Seems to be doing alright.

 

[Jacko21]

It’s not news, but United’s away supporters are just great.

Defiant, self-deprecating and fun. Mourinho should acknowledge them.

 

[mitchmouse]

This one already finished. Not sure what the stats are for WBA scoring more than a goal. Not good I suspect.

but we have the ability to be bloody stupid!
