but but but Burnley are a hard working honest teamWell done, boys.
Attacked, created chances, scored goals. Exactly what I like to see. Best performance in a while.Good game. Could have easily been 5-0. No complaints about Smallings red card. That was stupid. But that was some of the worst officiating I have seen in a while.WoW!!! Spurs..
Just seen the result
Rashford.lol Jose gave away his jacket.Comfortable win in the end. Score could have been a lot more flattering with some of the missed chances.
Rashford's red card.
Really, the media bias is imagined? … you've managed to out-WUM yourself with that one … Pathétique 
Only a shame that Lukaku didn't get his first United hat-trick thanks to Pogba and Moss.
I admit the frustration got to me, but I still maintain Lukaku is not better than his counterparts at the other top four clubs. He had a shocking miss against Spurs, at Brighton and a couple today as well. We're lucky it didn't cost us. You can never bank on him burying a chance, even when he's clean through.If we played like this slightly more often - I wouldn't want Mourinho gone. This was actually proper football. Well done both to the team and Mourinho. And especially Fellaini who was BRILLIANT
We won and that is all that matters.
A little worrying that he cannot seem to score these type of chancesSome incredible amount of stupidity from players in the last quarter of the game, luckily it didn’t come back to bite this time. 3points very much welcomed.Great stuff from the fans. Pure class.
If a striker scores twice - you can't blame him if we don't win. Even if he misses 3 more - and last time I checked -someone missed a penalty as well
Come on, dude!!! Not here
I'm obviously watching a different game than you are. YOu are completely wrong. It was Sanchez and Lukaku up front with Lingard in the #10. That's why half the time he was on the same side of the field as Sanchez. And yes, Fellaini was the one playing deep. Not sure what game you were watching, but definitely not United vs Burnley...
Even if I'm wrong, who will remember?
Too right. They are strong early relegation candidates for sure
It definitely is. It should be a (United) striker's bread and butter.
But yes, good performance overall for us, despite a lack of intelligence all over really.
Yeah but he was dirty. I'd have done the same thing as Rashford. They both should have been sent off.Thought Fellaini had a very good game today. Matic still playing his way back to form and was pretty quiet. Pogba kept things moving forward. With Rashford suspended, Martial should move up the pecking order and get some time. All in all, a good result for us.
Yeah I was in the wrong thread. Sorry.
Oops lol
I'm not twisting anything. You would not have criticised him if he hadn't been fouled and he scored. Its got nothing to do with the hypothesis. The only reason, ONLY reason, he didn't score was because he was cynically fouled.
A couple of tap ins and a ok perfomance against piss poor relegation fodder.....nah your alright.3 points, thank you very much. Shaw, Pogba and Lukaku top class. Must mention Lindelof who gave a very good performance, light years away from his 2 last displays, hopefully he builds on that.People in this topic could lean a thing or 2 from our away fans. Great atmosphere.Rashford has a lot to learn. Should have done a Neymar and got Bardsley off.
Moss was his usual idiot self.
Nah. Quickly shimmied over to get his body in between Mee and the ball, and lost balance. Maybe Mee slightly put him off balance but feck me, Lukaku’s about 3 stone heavier he should stay on his feet there and fecking score.
You’re making out like I’m on my own with my opinion. I watched the game and that was shite from Lukaku, would’ve been a very soft pen.
I agree. This game should've been dead and buried, and Pogba deserves a rocket up the arse as well.
Usually the argument is that we don't play to his strengths or create enough chances for him, but today he had enough chances to have 3 or 4 goals at a minimum.
Glad we got the three points.
Also, feck Phil Bardsley. Hope Rooney TKOs him in their next boxing match.Comfortable match in the end despite the red card. Ref was blind to many obvious fouls I feel - that kick-out by Bardsley that resulted in Rashford's sending off, Mee's handball which was practically a save by a keeper, and I think even his challenge on Lukaku after he rounded Hart could easily been a penalty.
He didn't score in a huge and easy 1v1.
That in itself is very criticizable, specially when it isn't his first. Mee fouling him shouldn't have mattered, he shouldn't even be in a position to foul Lukaku
Ultimately, the only reason why he missed was because he was fouled. There was absolutely no possible way Mee could've prevented him from scoring other than fouling him. He could've missed his one on one - better strikers have done so - but he didn't. He removed Hart from the equation and, in doing so, was entirely justified in his decision to beat the keeper before finishing.

You're wrong.
On that particular point he's spot on though. Try watching any other game in which the top team look like they are struggling against a huge underdog.Really, the media bias is imagined? … you've managed to out-WUM yourself with that one … Pathétique
Agree with the Mee handball incident (assuming that’s one you’re referring to) but not sure about Bardsley. Was clearly Rashford’s fault, and the kick out wasn’t enough.
Regardless, Moss is a shite bag who can never control games. The standard of refereeing in the Prem is it’s biggest downfall at the moment.
No. He should learn not to react. Even mock Bardsley for being an absolute shite player but he shouldn't bite
BECAUSE HE WAS FOULED.
He might not have scored if he shot, either. Every striker in the world has missed them. Instead he removed the obstacle entirely, and put himself into a position where the only way they could stop him scoring was to bring him down.- Status
