It's an improvement, that's for sure. We look a lot more assured in possession and we're controlling the game. It really is killing our attacking options though having Smalling at right back. With Mata drifting so far inside we need a right back that is comfortable getting forward on the ball and it's simply not Smalling's game, it's making us a lot easier to defend against. I don't know at what point you decide to bring Valencia on for him, as although i think we'd see an improvement, i'd be wary taking off one of our tallest players at set pieces; and Palace have looked their most dangerous down our right hand side.
Really hope we score early on to be honest, as i'm not sure who you'd take off if things still aren't going fantastic up top. Knowing Moyes, Valencia will come on eventually and we'll end up bringing Kagawa/Hernandez on for Fellaini and dropping Rooney deeper. That and Young on for Januzaj, cue the moaning.

Someone needs to give Moyes a snickers, he just cant win when hes hungry.
So we've had two chances in 45 minutes ? That's a lot.
We probably could have been ahead but were not battering them or anything.
...with a Cantona mask....
That would be good to see.
Yeah, cause he needs them.
We looked solid enough there in that 1st half which is an improvement on some recent outings. Unfortunately up front or in the final third the knives could do with a fair bit of sharpening, toothless enough in that department all the time.
Did Ince just burst out laughing and try to cover it up as a cough?
The problem lies with the trio of RvP, Rooney and Mata. They are all 3 free roaming and often playing quite deep. I think we might have to sacrifice one of them and invest in a RW that can beat his man properly. But maybe with Rafael we can use the right side better. Good performance so far.
RVP a fraction offside, Vidic header, and the Rooney freekick.
We are playing a team away in the PL and have totally dominated. We are wearing them down. Jesus. There are some bloody spoilt fans on here.
Not a bad half, I'd like to see more shots from outside the area but overall more variation to our forward play today which is better than the crossing game we endured a couple of weeks ago.
Jamie Redknapp choosing a clip of Fellaini turning and running with the ball, then making a creative pass to make the point that he doesn't do that.
dominated. now the wait for the inevitable defensive lapse that costs us.
redknapp is a bit of a dick
Why the hell would you want Mata in a packed box ahead of Fellaini?
Happy enough with that. Played some decent football and created a few chances against a team well set up to defend at home.
Someone needs to ram a snickers down redknapp's throat so he shuts up.
Yes, frustrated that he missed a chance you expect a man utd midfielder to hit the target with. Most people in the thread have been singing his praises since the 5th minute apart from that one moment in the match. He's had virtually no abuse apart from that.
...with a Cantona mask....
Then boot one of them.
I have it on mute, what happened?
I feel like that's more to do with a lack of confidence then anything. Nothing like the Fulham game who he as constant hoofing in the box. This we've actually been passing it around and trying to do quick plays and vary it up, palace have just been really organized and have defended well.
Rooney Freekick
And Vidic's header was after the whistle had already gone.
Wait, you think those were all chances??
Calm down sweetheart. We are dominating nothing but passing the ball around. I'm not moaning I'm pointing out the obvious.
Jamie is right, Fellaini needs something to go his way. Like a haircut.
Missed the first half? Did we played well? The front four is
Some of the reactions in here are way OTT.
We may not be at our fluid best but we look better than we have done and we're playing against a 9 man defence. More of the same and a goal or two will come.

Errr yeah.

Rio's had a very good first half. Had me worried a bit when he was going forward but Palace didn't seem interested in going for the counter.
Rooney's chip could have been.. We should be a few goals up. And as soon as 1 went in, others might have followed.
Fellaini has been good. Our tempo needs to be faster and januzaj and rvp need to do more.
One or two times we played something like football.
Promising.
Promising.
Strange half. Has the feel of the Fulham match to me. We're dominating without really looking like scoring, but every time the ball is in our box it's panic stations.
Need a few clean sheets just to get defensive confidence back.
I could see CP scoring here today though, and I can't really see us getting more than 1. Just the way things are going this season, and Palace are in excellent form.

Carrick needs to move the ball on faster as well.
Its so easy for teams to play against United nowadays, just mark everyone tightly except Smalling.
I see what you're doing there.Missed the first half? Did we played well? The front four is
Only on paper I'm afraid.
Palace hooligans are out today.
We are dominating possession and have created enough chances to be 1 or 2 up away from home. By the way city were at home today and bloody struggled against Stoke. That's the PL.
You're damn right, Relevated
