Did anyone notice we don’t take foot off the gas after scoring goals?

 

[Verminator]

Ole should have a happy pill named after him...

Olkasolskjaer

 

[Gordon S]

Who can explain to me how is it that our players all of sudden know how to pass? It seems strange. They could not string two passes together back in the wilderness days. Was it Fellaini?

Players have much more options now. More players around them.
It's difficult now for the oppos to guess where the pass is going.

 

[jymufc20]

Exceptional improvement going forward, still shaky at the back. As long as we keep winning, I’ll take it though. Finally enjoying watching football again. The team huddle after the Lukaku goal nearly made me cry

You sound like klopp.

 

[Eckers99]

We'll get exposed against better teams but for now I'm just enjoying the one touch passing, the quickness, the attacking fluidity and of all the players in general, they're covering for each other and moving around and that's hard for the opposition to track.

Players playing with confidence, not afraid to try things, not afraid to play the ball forward. If we have to win things 7-4 for now then so be it.

Hopefully Phelan, Carrick and McKenna can sort the defence out, otherwise Woodward needs to get the cheque book out in a few days time for Koulibaly or someone of that ilk.

This is how I feel. We'll need more against the top sides but pasting anyone is fun after the last few months.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Another good performance. I like this attack of Rashford, Martial, Pogba and Lingard, with Herrera as one of the two deeper midfielders. The mentality is spot on right now. We are playing attack minded football, constantly looking to make things happen and it is how it should be.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

You sound like klopp.

"When Rommy scored from Paulie's ball into the box I nearly shed a tear."

 

[Canagel]

I like how we kept the ball after the sending off. Its difficult to know how much of it was Bouremouth giving up but why would they after we go to 10 men? We kept the ball moving and still could've got another.
Different mentality in this team.

 

[Tincanalley]

Bloody hell, it wasn't that bad!!!
Only sandwich? No beer?

That bad, huh?

Of course not you bad girl. Just teasing.

Amazing how much easier it is to play the ball around when you are trying to do it in the opponents half as opposed to right outside your own box, which is what we used to do.

 

[Vadim]

4-1, fecking happy. Utd feels like Utd again.

 

[Ecstatic]

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

You sound like klopp.

That’s what I was going for

 

[Eckers99]

We look like we're about 2 or 3 players short of being a top side. Under Jose we often looked like we're needed a whole new team.

 

[morbidsaint]

Pogba was alright, huh? Wonder if those that not so long ago booed at him was at the stadium today... if so, hope they have a bad fecking taste in their mouths.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

12 goals in 3 games, SAF smiling, Pogba scoring, Pogba assisting, Lukaku scoring, Pereira playing, still conceding, Rashford skilling, Souness fuming(somewhere)
Bournemouth can be a tricky team to play against, they gave City a game at the Eithad and should/could have gotten a penalty there, we needed a late goal to beat them away this season. They have hit bad form recently though. Granted it is only three games, but the mood has changed so much, more enthusiasm, more positive, just a big lift. Obviously it helps when you have a manager who doesn't have a demeanor of someone who would rather be somewhere else. There are going to be harder games to come, we are still a bit off the top four and we unfortunately still look shaky at the back (2 clean sheets in 20 league games), it will be interesting to see. what we do in the January transfer window.
Still it is the first time since 2015 that we have scored 3 or more goals in 3 consecutive games.
12th September 2015- Liverpool 3-1 (Blind, Herrera, Martial)
20th September 2015- Southampton 3-2 (Martialx2, Mata)
26th September 2015- Sunderland 3-0 (Depay, Rooney, Mata)

Yes!!! We go for it!!!

 

[RonW]

I always wondered why Pogba never played those Scholes'esque type of long balls to the RB, but aparently this has been the first time I've seen him do that in a while and I wonder if he has been coached by the present staff to do that

 

[morbidsaint]

We look like we're about 2 or 3 players short of being a top side. Under Jose we often looked like we're needed a whole new team.

Because the filth of a manager we had wanted it to look that way. This is the only thing that can explain how little he got out of this group of incredible talent.

 

[Devil may care]

A joy to watch again, not just with the ball but how we are pressing to win it back, even when we went down to 10 men we looked like we had the man advantage. Our set piece defending is the big concern obviously but right now we look like we are going to create chances against any team we play, the movement of the front 4 is so dynamic and exciting.

 

[Sylar]

Oles playing the way that United should.
ohhh yeah!!!

 

[championo]

It was his game in when he played yoof here, was his game at Juve, then Jose got a hold of him.

 

[Shiva87]

Whilst it was boring to watch, the way we dominated the game when down to 10 is indicative of the manner in which this team is rapidly moving forward. Under Mourinho, even at 4-1 up, we'd be cowering in our own half.

I think Jose called it 'controlling the game without the ball'. Makes me realize, I never want to hear that stuff again! Phew.

Makes me sad we didn't bin Mourinho sooner. Now we're so far away from top four... a waste really.

Glad it didn't though. I wanted it to happen before the City game, but I think the club timed it right. Ole may not have come earlier and getting a caretaker boss 10 games into a season would have been very stupid. All we know, we would have been stuck with Conte and his unique brand of defensive football.

Top 4 is now an achievement and gives Ole enough time to prep for the PSG game. It's the cups this season and I hope we make a pretty good run in the CL. Don't think our defence is good enough yet for a proper title challenge anyway.

 

[FootyGirl88]

Had to miss the game so can't wait to watch the highlights

 

[Pscholes18]

Probably seen enough to say give Ole the job?
Pogba MOTM again. Totally bossed the game from start to finish. What a talent.

Special shout out to Matic. Was solid in midfield.
2nd half was very professional - boring but its called finishing the job.
OT was buzzing!!

Need to see what this team does against top competition and or when they are down....would like to see how they respond in that situation under Ole....great match...we are seeing the Utd football again.

 

[Shiva87]

We look like we're about 2 or 3 players short of being a top side. Under Jose we often looked like we're needed a whole new team.

We did need a whole new team for Jose's style of play. It was so obvious that this team's strengths and Jose didn't match. The numerous comebacks this season show it. You start with Jose's style, concede goals and then play some catch up football. He should have been able to make these players go the other way. But I think Jose has become too stuck in his own 'philosophy' of play that he didnt see the strengths of his own squad.

 

[MrSingh2002]

I called this game Ole's first real test as Bournemouth had qualities that could have hurt us.

We actually didn't let them get going at all and controlled the ball well feeding it into attacking areas. Didn't quite hit 5th gear yet controlled the game well.

It's a shame we're still 8 points off Chelsea but Ole and the squad are doing everything right so far and that's all they can do. Given the last 18 months or so it would be an excellent achievement to end up in the top 4. Hate to sound Arsenalish but it's true.

Most important targets for this season should to qualify for the Champs league next year via top 4 or winning it, and to get De Gea, Martial and Pogba secured for the future.

 

[ravi2]

We have our club back.

It finally feels like order has been restored.
I still can't comprehend the folks here clamoring for Pogba to be sold.

Good riddance jose

 

[crossy1686]

Did anyone notice we don’t take foot off the gas after scoring goals?

Think this is the reason Solskjaer was looking a bit stoney faced in the second half. Complacency kicked in and Bournemouth grew in confidence.

 

[Florida Man]

… and suddenly realises he's doing the Pogba celebration trying to shift the last little bit lose

fecking hell

 

[Mibabalou]

Great match to watch,

making top 4 and doing PSG over two legs is a huge ask but there's a bit of hope now...

 

[crossy1686]

New contracts all round please. No one should be allowed to leave now.

 

[ravi2]

It’s fun watching us play again. Great stuff.

Games are now must see tv for me again. Haven't felt this way in a while I have to say

 

[ravi2]

New contracts all round please. No one should be allowed to leave now.

Except Jones darmian Valencia and Rojo of course

 

[jymufc20]

That’s what I was going for

Genuinely wasn't sure if you was serious or not.

 

[crossy1686]

Somewhere in London, Jose's phone was pinging "Pogba!" every time we scored thanks to the in play notifications his kids set up for him that he has no idea how to turn off.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Of course not you bad girl. Just teasing.

Thank you, you are such a nice boy.

It's been a while since we've been this happy, well, most of us anyway.

 

[AndyJ1985]

I love how we attack with purpose and freedom now. Pogba is a beast of a player.

The only negative is our defence is a steaming pile of shit. No exaggeration, our defenders are genuinely rubbish.

If we can keep scoring for fun then hopefully our piss poor defence won't cost us too much.

I'm happy to see United playing good football again.

Yeah, sell them, maybe Sanchez too if Ole can't get him firing. Bring in some club worthy recruits, Fergie gets to do the shopping with Ole.

 

[Sandikan]

Games are now must see tv for me again. Haven't felt this way in a while I have to say

I remember a Liverpool work colleague saying this years back, early days in the Klopp reign.
He had no expectations, and was just glad he could enjoy the games again.

That's where we are. Let's hope it's the start of getting towards the levels City and Pool are currently playing at.

 

[gerdm07]

I love the one touch and forward passing. This is truly different then under Mou. Ole even has Matic using one-touch at times.

Many of you were saying you want Pogba gone. Do you still feel this way?
