Post-match discussion


Tue, 28 November 2017

Brilliant game and 4 goals again in an away performance against a fairly difficult team.

We were not in control for all of the first 15 minutes and some 10 minutes late in the second half. Swings in an away game, so nothing out of the ordinary.

Hopefully Matic is back for the next game.
 
Good job. It was a bit nervy when they scored 2 but got the job done. Lindelof had a great match, Ashley is in form of his life.
Lukaku needs a rest, better to avoid his performances thread, I bet it's a killzone there.

Lets go to Arsenal, park a bus and win ugly with 1:0.
 
Shaky performance but delighted at getting the 4th when the pressure is on.

Need to be better against Arsenal
 
Typical Mourinho team, plays shit, somehow still wins, with some crazy event, Young doing a good lampard impression at the weekend and then somehow pulling 2 ridiculous goals out of the bag today. Lingard with another goal he is not going to repeat for a long time.
 
Great result. Shame about the calamity defending at the end. Young's best game for United.

What was the injury to Matic?

Funny thing is he repeats those kind of goals all the time. :D
 
Great result as I thought that was gonna be a tough one. Nearly everyone played really well tonight, it was a shame about that spell where Watford got back into it because we defended really well for the most part.

Young's two goals were simply brilliant, Martial was ace till he came off and then what a goal by Lingard to seal it.
 
Lukaku doing lukaku things, looking like a donkey 30% of the time. He will still be top 3 in the goal charts.

Lingard shut people up a bit... well not really they just said that watford gave up momentarily.

Momentum for Lindelof vs a tricky player

Pogba looking quality to be fair
 
Could've scored more. Nervy finish which shouldn't have been. Happy with the 3 points though.
 
Two goals scored by Young, sprinting back after that Ibra's shit pass in the 92th minute, running down the wing, back the forth, and people will still suggest that shit like Shaw 'deserves' to play ahead of him, fecking laughable.

Decent game from Lindelof bar couple of fouls in the second half, hope Matić is nothing serious and will be back for Arsenal, we're without fecking midfielders if he isn't. Lukaku needs to sort himself out too.
 
Excellent first half. Very poor second one. This relaxing attitude after getting a result should never, never get repeated again.

Lindelof, Young, Martial and Lingard, great game today. Very poor from Lukaku though.

Wow. That super positive post lifted my spirits :lol:
 
Why oh why do United always sit back when they have a lead. Inviting pressure on for the last half hour. Thank feck for Lingard's beaut of a goal.
 
First half was clinical but second half had me pulling my hair out.

Lukaku the new Heskey?
 
Lukaku should've buried that first time, what the hell was he doing?

Fun game, though, I thought they'll equalize in the end, seeing that we weren't there defensively anymore. Great game by Lindelof in my opinion, lad is picking himself back up.
 
I enjoyed that game.
But one this is for certain: we cannot afford to start with Lukaku against AFC. Lukaku would struggle to score into an open goal, right now.
 
Terrible defending near the end. If you watch the passage just before Lingard's goal, Doucoure was again all on his own near the penalty area. absolute horrow show.

Some neat attacking play bailed us out today.

Herrera is useless.
 
Pretty decent game. Until they scored I would have said that’s the best our defence has looked. Proper defending and not just bodies back. Then for whatever reason Jose changed it and we became shambolic.

Have to wonder if Gomez took a bunt as he should save at least saved 3 of those but that reaction save from Lingard was class.

Smalling once again showing his worth, Martial showing why he needs to be played and Young needing tested for PED’s

Watford are also a good outfit and played some really good stuff. They were better than the scorline was suggesting.
 
Madness. I get the feeling Jose is not going to be happy with that, in a 'bad cop' sort of way, given the complete lack of control we had in the second half.

Saying that shout outs to Young, Lindelof, Martial, Lingard and apart from the poor challenge for their penalty Rojo.

Lukaku needs a rest. Not for the want of trying as I always saw him trying to get into a good position but barring some good work for two goals in the first half nothing came off for him.

All in all, it was a very fun watch and three precious points are ours.
 
Circus performance in the 2nd half. Fergie would hairdryer the living piss out of them.

Playing bit shit but still getting 3 points says a lot of good about this team, too.
 
That was a good game of football and that Lingard goal was as good as some of Messis!
 
Phew. Rom would have been crucified if we’d not won that game, which is weird because 3 goals up, you don’t really expect to collapse like we almost did. Needs to bury those though.
 
Not against the likes of Watford, although saying that I was very impressed with Watford tonight, they've got that never say die attitude about them. They are here to stay I think.
Was just joking mate. 2nd highest scorers in the league says it all. :D
 
Very entertaining. Some lovely goals scored. Lindelof getting more confident is good to see.

Watford are not an easy team to play, credit to their manager he's done very well - so I am pretty pleased to get the 3 points.
On to the next one.

Edit - still can't get over Lingard scoring that goal:eek::lol:
 
Started shit, then looked like running away with it and slaughtering them, then letting them get back in it before finishing them off..
ARE WE NOT ENTERTAINED?!
 
What a weird game.

Watford started better but we defended well and when Young got two goals out of pretty much nothing, it looked like our ruthlessness crushed them.

Second half performance was dreadful though. I'm not sure why Lukaku has to play 90 minutes every single time, it's clearly not helping him and his confidence is completely shot. He looked slightly better playing with Martial but he was back to his desperate worst in the second. What does Herrera even do anymore? Rashford was also invisible pretty much.

Lingard saves the day with a solo goal. And I thought it couldn't get more bizarre than an Ashley Young brace.
 
Lingard proved a lot of people wrong tonight. Much better than Mata and Mkhi.

Miki is certainly useless.
But Mata can do some good things.
But Lingard's goal was out of this World. If Messi scored that goal, it would be all over social media.
 
Excellent win, as a lot of us weren't overly confident.

Concerns we almost chucked it away late on, but end of play, a good win, and increase the gap to Tottenham for one to 8 points!

Now for Arsenal. A huge one.
