Jurgen are you listening
Keep the trophy glistening
We'll be back in May
To take it away
Walking in an ole wonderland

 

[slyadams]

Henderson has a shaky game in his 2nd league start for us and people want to bin him. Jesus wept. De Gea was shaky for his first 12 months for us.

 

[El Zoido]

We played some good stuff, definitely still some issues to resolve though. We lack mental strength and struggle to control games when we should. It’s a bit of a lack of experience all around. Need more players of Bruno’s ilk.

 

[BFernandes]

Talk about making a meal out of it, christ

 

[pseudo_canadian]

The fact that game was even remotely competitive is just gross.

 

[Borys]

What a weird game.

Our fullbacks never win headers, what worries me the most.

 

[Banana Republic]

3-1 up and we lose complete control of the game.
Hanging on for 3 points is unacceptable against a team like this.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

We can’t defend, we need to debut a new 0-6-4 formation. No point even playing defenders.

 

[lysglimt]

OGS is a tactical genious - he told his players to give Sheffield United an early goal - so why can start playing football in the first half.

 

[VP89]

Yikes, should have put that to bed to avoid such a nervy end. But it's a deserved win.

My only qualm is the slow start, we need to stop starting games so casually especially with Leeds round the corner.

 

[Barthez]

Phew. Shit start, shit finish. Quite good in the middle.

About sums it up perfectly to be honest

 

[Neo_Mufc]

We're improving. Just like to see us a bit more stable at the back.

Important win.

 

[#07]

If we could defend man what a team we could be. However, we keep winning and its becoming a habit. At the end of the day a win is a win and if we keep winning...

 

[Foxbatt]

I thought we were unlucky. We played well apart from the nightmare start. Should and could have scored a lot more than 3. Now if we can beat Leeds we can be back in business.

 

[MileStolar]

Thank feck for that, see y'all at weekend when we hopefully break into top 4

 

[GledTheRed]

Why do we have the lulls? Should have won that 1-6

 

[Zoo]

Gave me a bit of hope for the first 10 and the last 10 mins. Now go and win this weekend please, ta

Impressed with your workrate. Ramsdale needs to be dropped though.

 

[redom]

Two big fat Christmas presents for Sheffield United tonight with those goals but thank feck we held onto the 3 points.

 

[bosnian_red]

We made it hard for no reason. But deserved win. Sheffield Utd are shite this season. Terrible first goal to concede, soft as feck 2nd (we're terrible defending corners), but in between was comfortable.

 

[leontas]

Nervy finish. Need to sort out our whole defensive structure. Good win and some good attacking moves. Henderson had a shocker.

 

[Plant0x84]

Great attacking play tonight, pants defensively as per and I’m not sure David concedes both those goals. 3 pts again and the league winning bandwagon roles on!

 

[Cpt Negative]

If we could stop conceding horrendously shit goals, we’d be a great team.

the quality of what we concede is so bad,

Both goals today
Leipzig’s first and third
West Ham goal
Spurs first
Brightons second

all hideous, hideous goals to concede

 

[DRJosh]

Promising attack but woeful scatter-gun defending. Still showing no signs of being a well drilled side defensively. A few players still seem a tad panicky when pressed.

no point having a well oiled attack and a porous defence.

 

[Judas]

Made a meal of it at the end but it was ugly but comfortable for most of it.

 

[Gordon S]

The least consistent team in the history of football. We get outplayed for the first and last 10 minutes of the game and in between that we are steamrolling them.

 

[RedTiger]

Gave me a bit of hope for the first 10 and the last 10 mins. Now go and win this weekend please, ta

Your lot made us shit our pants a couple of times

 

[pablo__p]

"real good nose to nose battle"

Some great football, some utter poo.


All in all, the inability to put this sort of games to bed is worrying.

 

[JinnerJamie]

Rashford is our Jack
Pogba is our Joker
Bruno is the King

 

[moodyred]

Let's just savour the 3 goals and 3 points.

We don't do things easy.

 

[TMDaines]

Unless we drastically improve, we are getting turned over by Leeds.

No we’re not. We’ll score a hatful if we play like that against a team even more wide open.

 

[OldTrevil]

Whew, what a nervy ending to what was otherwise easy game. United like to do it the hard way don't they

Pogba was imperious by the way, man of the match performance

 

[mancan92]

Pogba easily motm was sensational

 

[slored1]

Completely unnecessary to make it so hard for ourselves. Telles couldn’t win a single header even if he tried 100000 times.

 

[SirAnderson]

Gutted for the guy that could have won 50K if not for McGoldrick scoring.

 

[VidaRed]

ole at the wheel

 

[Kill 'em all]

We need to be more clinical against better teams. How many easy chances did we miss before they pulled one back? That game should have been way out of their reach with 30 minutes remaining.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Both goals were flukey, so can't fault the defenders on either one. The goalie on the other hand is a different thing for the first goal, Henderson had no business taking an extra touch there.

Glad to see Tony get off the mark and some quality finishing from Rashford.

 

[Siorac]

Managed to make this a lot harder for ourselves than it should have been. Should have boosted our GD tonight after 1-3.

 

[.Phil1968]

Good win, there was more goals in it for us too with a little more care , Pogba excellent .

 

[GledTheRed]

Unless we drastically improve, we are getting turned over by Leeds.

Should be OK as they defend worse than us.

Be 4-3
