[The Firestarter]

Not going to follow the game via the Matchday Thread again. Some of the stuff spouted in there tonight was embarrassing.

Good win at a tough ground! Two in a row. Keep going lads!

Yeah, some guy announced he is done with football.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Pogba was half brilliant, half woeful tonight, give him credit he kept going.
Good win, 2 wins in a row??

 

[RedIke]

Early three word review......

. Money well spent

Thank whoever you pray to for that win.

 

[whatwha]

Horrible refs did their best to ruin the game, but we still won. I've really missed our late goals. Get the feck in Zlatan!!!

 

[Viral United]

Finally a ugly win.
In your face ref.

 

[sebsheep]

Rojo is what happens when you don't train players on how to tackle

Thought we played well, we do have a tendency to drop off for about 10-15 minutes every game and almost allow the opposition back into the game. Delaney will probably never pull off that skill again in his life, I bet he doesn't even manage it in his back garden playing against his kids.
We controlled the game, probably could've done with a higher tempo and a bit more movement up front. Pogba was excellent, Jones solid again, De Gea with a cracking save, Zlatan played well but was a bit too isolated at times, thought Carrick was very good in midfield as well. Everyone else was decent, that includes Rooney who had a bit of a mixed bag but gets slated far too much.

Officials probably up there with the worst I've seen this season, and in general officiating has been woeful so far.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Huge result

And you could see what it meant to mourinho too. He needed it that badly. Not just the win, but the late goal and everything about it

Team showed character

 

[Member 5225]

superb, massive result....am delighted!!

 

[FreakyJim]

 

[Jinn]

Mo spoke to the ref in the end. Hope he didn't get himself another ban.

 

[rockerlad]

Battled to the very end. Nice to see

 

[iKeano]

Another character building, hard fought win.
Great to see the bench reacting to the winner, great to see some passion among the players and manager on the pitch after the final whistle.
Great result!

 

[ZAGREB RED]

Hard fought win that shouldn't have been against a poor Palace side. Rojo, WTF ? Have a word Jose ? United deserved it in the end after the disallowed goal and penalty decision, brilliant goal to win it, the pass and the finish. Phil Jones looking good again, hopefully Bailly will be OK.

 

[donkeyfish]

Ecstatic win, turned the screw tighter and tighter the last 15 after a bad start to the second half. Showed excellent character.

I think Palace defended well with almost all their players, still we created 5 good opportunities at least (counted from memory). Palace created almost nothing.

Pogba had a lot of sloppy moments losing the ball, but still the best player on the pitch imo. Key player in 4 of our chances, including both goals.

Horrible refereeing though. Got almost everything wrong.

 

[SirAnderson]

Hate for my vote to be meaningless. Really think Zlatan edges Pogba for MOTM but they both up there, so since the cafe has gone for him, my as well too.

 

[Bobcat]

Delicious

Get fecked Palace fans, get fecked Palace, get fecked Pardew and most of all get fecked ref

 

[saivet]

We deserved that. Frustrating that we didn't win it more comfortably.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

We played well, but still lacking that ruthlessness. Palace were awful, and we really should have blown them away. Pogba was excellent, and Zlatan's finish was superb. Carrick and Herrera were great too. A bit sloppy at times, but solid overall.

How many times did Zaha and Cabaye dive between them? Must have been at least 4 each. Palace are horrid. Glad to see Pardew reverting to type, after starting well, he always reverts to that flat 4-4-2 with defensive wingers. He is awful.

 

[the hea]

Good win but today showed that we are desperate for a new winger, Mata and Rooney are nowhere near good enough to start on the wing for a top 4 side.

 

[Dobba]

The team finally grew a pair of bollocks at the end there. Seriously need to cut out this sitting back with their thumbs up their arse shite at the start of second halves though, it's clearly tactical and it's crap.

 

[ash_86]

An must win considering most of the top 6 has won. HAHA Arsenal!! How does it feel to be left out

 

[BringNaniBack]

We were crap. Need Mhki back desperately and Darmian needs to be offloaded ASAP.

 

[TrustInJanuzaj]

Would have won by more if mikihitaryan had played but still very happy

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

A round of applause to that fecking twat Alan Pardew who brought on two ex-United players in the hope that they would steal the headlines tomorrow morning. Feck off.

This. Townsend instead of Fryers would have done Palace more good against our weak full backs, but no, Pardew had to be a cnut.

 

[JTW95]

I love it when we beat him

 

[RedElf]

What a finish from Zlatan. We were hard work to watch second half. The officials were having a shocking match. You can see at the end the team spirit is starting to bond together.

 

[JinnerJamie]

No pace...

Zlatan...

Poggers...

 

[Oddboy]

Big big win. All our rivals did well today if we had lost today we would have been miles away from top 4 yet again.

Finally proved we can battle despite conceding a lead.. Which is a first for us I think this season.

Zlatan you beautiful giant what a finish and Pogba was influential yet again.

We really need to manage the use of Mata and Rooney better.. Don't mind them in the first half but once the game gets stretched they are both liabilities.

I don't think we can play those two together in a front 3 - it was devoid of any width and pace. Mata was invisible tonight - he's so much better as a no. 10, but then that doesn't play to Pogbas strengths...

 

[NinjaZombie]

Yeah, some guy announced he is done with football.

I don't often post in the matchday threads, because why should you? The posts come in thick and fast, and everyone's reacting to the events of a live football match so your posts get lost in the whole jumble and nothing is up for discussion.

 

[paulscholes18]

Big win with Spurs, City, Liverpool and Chelsea all winning

 

[saivet]

Zlatan

 

[El Zoido]

Zlatan

 

[ManUnitedCanuck]

A much needed 3 points and that's what matters most. Still need to be scoring more and being able to hold a one goal lead better, but it's the 3 points that matter most right now.

 

[JG3001]

Got to go down as the worst refereeing performance of the season. It seemed that the players on both sides were fuelled to put in quite a number of dirty challenges in because of it, taking frustrations out on the wrong people...

Still, 3 points so get the feck in!!!

 

[derace]

Stop talking shite we were going for the second goal!

yeah after the 1:1

 

[iammemphis]

Get in boys. Thats a great win and a superb performance from Pogba. Stuck with Ibra in my fantasy team the past two weeks when others doubted him and he has served me very well. Delighted for the win.

 

[bosnian_red]

Huge win. Well worth the win and the ref was close to fecking us out of a win as that was an incredibly blatant hand ball not called for the pen, and then the perfectly legitimate goal ruled out when nobody was even close to offside. Rojo tbf should have had a red and Pogba's goal was marginally offside (don't think it was a handball though, not sure what BT was on about), though at the same time, they got away with loads and Cabaye must have had obvious dives like 3 or 4 times throughout the game.

But it's a huge win and a huge week in general. First ended our wretched away run in Europe to qualify comfortably. Then Mourinho with his first big win against in a big side in over a year and us finally seeing a game out, and then now today, extending it to 3 wins in a row plus being the team to get a late winner finally instead of throwing points away late on. 3 trends ended in the past week basically, and big ones at that. Lets get a nice comfortable win now in the next game, though West Brom is in very good form and are at home, so would be surprised if we get the win tbh.

 

[VeevaVee]

Pretty turd apart from the winner. Hopefully it'll show this team that it's worth fighting til the end at least.

 

[JB08]

Zlatan just took the piss eh
