Bit of a chalky spanner that Aubameyang goal for Arsenal. Very lucky.
True.
But Burnley's lack of ambition means that they're playing really deep, and really narrow. And yet, we're breaking them down over and over again, right through the middle. I've not seen us do that in a very long time.
It's difficult to pass through a packed defence at any level, even against a shit team. Burnley being so poor has actually forced us to be better on the ball. We've been great.Good first half, with Shaw playing pretty well and good to see Lukaku get 2 goals and hopefully he can get a hatrick and United win this 5-0.
Sanchez needs to do so much more, I agree. Although he's looked very good in the first half, with his ball retention a lot better than normal.
I just looked up Lukaku's stats since joining United and it's now 30 in 55. Compared to top strikers, that's about 10 goals short, which could equate to a lot of points across the season.In total control. A 4-0 away win would go a long way to restoring confidence and put us on the right track to go on a run. Need to push on in the second half. No letting up.Some right miserable cnuts in here. Can't you keep your misery to yourselfHope Fred, Rashford and Martial come on in the second half to get them some confidence. Or at least one of themAmazing people still want to moan. It's been so miserable lately, how you can't enjoy us being so comfortable and leading 2-0 I don't know, typical of this place.We've done well this first half but Burnley are very poor at the moment.
Genuinely would like to see us put them to the sword. Some big wins could change the narrative a bit and help build our aura when playing these nothing sides.
We scored 4 quite a lot in the first half of last season.Eh
someone earlier called Lukaku dogshit only for him to score like 15seconds later. Reverse jinx.Have to say, wasn’t a fan before I saw the team in it, but I quite like this away kit.Passing from the CB's was never a major focus under Fergie. They were mostly tasked with giving the ball short to a midfielder or to a full back to up the pace of the game. He had players who could have played more ambitious passes in those roles, Pallister, Rio, Johnsen, but it rarely happened. Shaw was like Evra in that half in how he drove the game forward, with full backs playing like that the passing issues from CB quickly drop away.
I guess he didn't notice the passes to shaw
This place has been like this for around 5 years
It’s fecking BurnleyLove this pink shirt
We're playing this awful Burnley side and still our main attack is long ball.Lindelof and Smalling look very composed, but then it's easy to look class when you aren't under any pressure. Hope they build on this and manage to get our first clean sheet of the season.
That's what i thought when i seen it. Don't seem true to me.Shaw
That's the player we bought from SouthamptonWe are beginning to see a bit of Kieran McKenna's influence with some good attacking football
Ridiculous complaint. They aren't "going after us". All those things are correct. Burnley are utter shite in this game.
Check your vision dude, I believe I've given you an answer .That was enjoyable. Feels like years since we've done the 'Carrick trick' with midfielders. He always dropped into the full back positions under Fergie when they wanted to get forward, was really effective. Matic and Fellaini taking turns to do the same today.
True, Evra was never a great crosser for us but helped a lot in the build up. Shaw is playing a similar style today.
I know he has scored too goals but I agree that he needs to put more chances away. A top class goal scorer would already have his hattrick and he let Hart save that chance. To me his movements off the ball is not good enough. He needs to move a lot better. Hernandez when he was playing for us was almost impossible to mark. Lukaku needs that kind of movement.
So. You're not watching the game. Cool.
My vision is fine, maybe you should heed your own advice.
They haven't been good, but we have also been very good and created many chances. People seem to be focusing just on how bad they are.Would happily swap Lindelof for Tarkowski or whatever his name is. Even when the team's doing well, he looks bad
So what? We've looked dog shit against much worse, what's the point of even watching us if you're not going to even enjoy it when it's going well.
Plenty people were hoping we lose so they can stick the knife into Mourinho a bit more.
Seriously why do the mods tolerate such WUMs?
Oh its you again, are you ok, you seem obsessed with me, get some help or will be forced to place you on ignore list.
Nice comment about the way how fans had a go at Ed and his wife, classy stuff.I thought Fellaini had a very good first half.
True, they played on Thursday iirc. Not sure how many of the starters actually played in that game tho. Nevertheless they look awful today.First time I have slightly enjoyed us play in a long time. Credit to Jose.
Ok. I beg to differ. We have had real purpose and zip to our play. We are pushing Burney back to their 18 yard box, and our CBs are doing a good job winning the ball back when they are hitting the out ball to their striker.
Burnley weathered the storm for a bit (before the first goal) and were coming back into the game. The goal came at a good moment for us and it was a peach of a cross from Sanchez.- Status
