Bailly has been quite good today. He's covered up well with good positioning and pace.Full-timeFULL TIME
Brighton 0-3 Man Utd
Job done, fantastic goalsIs Dalot drunk?Leave the flicks to Donny, Jesse
He’s an average Burnley level 8 & a League One level DM. If he has to play I’ll take him as a Burnley level 8.
Indeed, so positive and proactive. Much better than LindaMata and Bailly have been our best by far. Donny looks quality, but hasn’t been as visible as those two.
Agreed. Lindelof isn’t as poor as his recent form but when he’s fit Bailly is a superior CB.tumescent first half but much better in the secondI just dont get how someone can unlike McTominay. We're 3 goals up, carabao cup, but he'll take you on.Mata great tonight.
When I first saw your post I thought you said My kingdom for some bollocks.Sluggish start but grew better. Clean sheet and three goals, job done.
You can do 3-5-2 and dont need Matic for protection.When is the QF draw? Scousers away for sure.
He's recovering from Coronavirus...Bailly, Henderson and Donny the standouts who should push into the first team sooner rather than later. Special mention to Mata, another decent performance from him today.My overriding feeling is F U Brighton, game raising fvckers - when you roll over for City and Liverpool 8.0 in your non-cup-final games, remember thisFinal whistle has gone. But hang in there lads, there might still be another.
Tomorrow, after the scousers gameSo Mata right for MOTM?MATA MOTM but Bailly put in an excellent shift as well.Very happy with that! Juan my MOTM. Was between him and Bailly.EasyMcTom,Mata and Pogba on the scoresheet. Another silky assist from Beek and Bailly looking very good.
Much needed positives heading into the Spurs game.WE WANT ANOTHER PENALTYTop save at 1-0 as well.Mata MOTM.
50th goal for United too.
I wasn't criticizing, just mentioning something noticeable.
It is worrying that after 25 minutes he looks to be breathing heavily.
Yes, he's been decent.Great win! Mata is such a nice player to have. If only he had some more pace.
I was worried about this team, but they get the job done far better than the first team.
Although the quality in the game was pretty low.
Agreed. Henderson hmmmm we"ll see, might take some time but def Baily and VDB need to start every game.A real mixed bag of individual performances. Dalot and James were poor but promising signs from Henderson and Bailly. Mata providing some class which we know he is capable of in these competitions.
Good cameos from Rashford and Pogba.Pogba celebrated as if he hit it straight in the top corner.
Absolutely but I'd prefer Matic in there even if it is as a supplementary CB. However if we fail to sign Sancho but get Telles then I think the 352 with Shaw as a CB is the way to go.
Basically:
De Gea
Bailly Maguire Shaw
AWB Telles
Pogba VDB
Bruno
Martial Rashford
For me that's the best 11 we could put out in those circumstances and Telles would provide a threat from the wide areas that we don't have at the minute. I think VDB is too good a player to be on the bench but so are Pogba and Bruno.
Edit: Bailly and Shaw compensate for Maguire's lack of pace too so we could afford to push a higher line against most teams.Mata showing these fringe players how it's done. Great outing from the little magician.
Apparently the after effects can last for months while your lungs recover. Hope he doesn't have any long term implications as with quality players around him, he will shine.Nice unexpected win
Well done boys- Status
