Good enough performance, but a 2nd would be nice. Valencia continues to perform poorly. Kagawa probably our best player so far, his link up play with Cleverley is a joy to watch at times.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Well, the Spanish commentators seem to be very impressed with Cleverly. They are rolling his 'r' in a very complimentary manner.
What the feck was that foul? Dude smashes into Cleverley and it's his fault? Could have cost us!
WBA lucky to be only 1-0 down. Good half. Clev and Kagawa have been good.
We are not playing well then? Sounded like we had played some good stuff?
Well that was a nice relaxing half of football to watch, been a while since I've been able to say that.
Has Kagawa really been injured? He looks slick.
Nothing to complain about, the football has been sexy thanks to Cleverley, Kagawa and Carrick mainly 
Evans and Vidic have to be careful with Shane Long as that little bitch is a big fecking cheat and diver.

Decent performance so far.
Kagawa's been very good. As has been Cleverley.
Val poor as feck, but at least he's better defensively again.

Decent play, we can play much better if we stop doing stupid long balls and if we just trust in our ability more. Overall good half.
HT.
Decent game. Clevs and Kagawa linking up nicely. Apart from a couple of what-the passes, Clevs looked very good, and Kagawa really showed some class.
We're defending rather decently too. Only Valencia looks rather out of ideas when he gets a chance.
WBA depending on set pieces to try to get something.
We need one more, or else it'll be nervy and then they'll throw that lump Lukaku on to fall on DDG and

Some will say a boring first half, but I thought it was decent, nothing special, just a good solid half where just the football is doing the talking, we created plenty of chances and only Foster has stopped us scoring more.
Not a great performance by any measure but apart from the edgy finish we've been quite comfortable. Need a second goal. Valencia doesn't really "feel" Kagawa.
A nice controlled game. It's going to be all chaotic in the second isn't it?
Lots of potential there, just need to be a bit more cutting with the final ball and stop a few sloppy passes. Kagawa is looking good though.
Cleverley and Kagawa are on the same wavelength, so nice to watch. When Cleverley runs forward Kagawa is always offering Carrick an option. Those two in the same side have a lot of potential.
we really need to put this to bed.
any one of these free kicks....
Chicho and RVP in the last half hour. Take Valencia and Welbeck off. Young on the right.

Welbeck was underwhelming again, he really needs to progress otherwise he will be sold soon
Good half. Should be further ahead but we've been comfortable and looked good going forward.
The movement and passing at times has been very good, stark difference today compared to Wednesday.
Hopefully we kill this game off early in the second half.

Even when West Brom come close to scoring my heart can't be arsed skipping a beat. It's like playing fifa against someone really shit.
strolling this one, Kagawa looks like he's never been away.
Need a 2nd asap though. Otherwise all it takes is a chance like the free kick position West Brom had in the last min of the first half and it can cost us.
need to take care of our business, and hope Norwich can do something now they're against ten men

I think rooney being out for few weeks will be a good thing for kagawa.
hehe
Comfortable half but perhaps too comfortable. Not enough urgency.
I'd be very surprised if we didn't score another one or two goals in this one.
Kagawa = Hard on football.
In other news... Josh King scored for Blackburn.
Strange post.
OH FFS , that was not a pen, Drake you prick
Seems a bit extreme, he's not had much football recently so can't expect him to be too sharp. I thought he'd worked hard and his interplay was good, hasn't had many chances to work with.
Give Tony a rest, shift Welbeck out left and bring a goal threat. Done and done. Rest of the team look solid, with potentially the exception of Smalling not really looking like a RB.
What did Nasri do? Norwich might actually get something from the game then, although I still doubt it.
It's been like a training match for us. Completely in control with Kagawa and Cleverley being our best players. Nemanja has looked good as well.

We actually look like we want to keep a clean sheet for once. And cleverly and Kagawa have been very good. As has been Vidic.
The Smalling one early on?
Really?
mm cant agree with any of this, thought he did OK.
The scoreline doesn't reflect our dominance and complete comfort on the ball. That is the only significant issue after a very nice (and as another poster said, stangely relaxing) half.
This injury may have allowed Kagawa to watch the team from a different perspective and learn about his teammates.He looks better than before, 'more' settled in if it can be said.I suspect in the second half he will start to fade as fatigue becomes more apparent
