the linesman gave itPogba has 2 assists even though he hasn't been at his best. Needs to be further up the pitch. The coaching team will hopefully work it out.
I just want to see some more goals though.
Our supporters at the game must be thinking what the feck? Never expected to see this today when they first bought their tickets
Doesn't mean shit, I'll take it after losing to Brighton, West Ham and Derby and playing like cowards against mid-table teams.Don't even recognise this team...
I wouldn't say we're gonna be shit either, it's too soon to tell. I can't say I have much confidence in these players though.Two major things we wouldn't see if Jose were still here:
1. Intensity from the start. Closing down from the front from the start. Commitment and drive from the start. The difference in intensities in this first half compared to every other game this season is staggering. It almost makes it look like keeping our foot off the gas at the start of games was an actual conscious decision from Mourinho.
2. Mourinho would have had the team all back defending and trying to hold the lead until half time. And beyond. No way do we get back on the front foot after conceding like we have here.
And we've also seen every outfield player on the pitch make a positive forward run.
He’s great at those quick instinctive lay offs.
When he has time to think though it’s another story. He’s been the clear weak link technically.This is footballiiiiiiJust cancelled my order for a bag of Charles, no need for it now. United is my high.
His movement has been excellent, opening up spaces for everyone else.Matic was clearly a Jose out fan.Yeah, good first half. Don’t see any massive leaps in performance so I’m inclined to believe no one just downed tools. Which is a relief to be honest. Much better coordination and linking up. A better team performance to be sure.
Still not convinced by Lingard though. For all he’s offered might as well give someone else a change.People on here saying Pogba has been poor.. he's ran the midfield. Lingard and Herrera havn't stopped running. This is what we have been capable but have been restricted. Happy happy happyFeel like i'm actually watching MANCHESTER UNITED for a change !
These players aren't so crap after all it seems ...Ole celebrating like a fan.I know it's only Cardiff, but that was so much better to watch.
Me too. Looks like he just chomped down on a lemon.Thought I’d share my thoughts in here half time rather than post whilst the game is on because too many of you feckers depress me on matchday...
This football is a breath of fresh air. Even Jones and Lindelof getting forward when an opportunity arises.
Shackles are off, players are playing with a smile. Football under Jose was too prepared for the opposition. Tonight, we’re just concerned about what we can do rather than what Cardiff can.
The third goal was beautiful. We’ve got some good players - Ole is proving that.
I’m full of beer and happy.
Without a doubt yeahBrilliant,just brilliant!!The best 45 minutes of the season....Keep going lads,this is what United are all about....Attack,Attack,Attack,Attack,Attack!!!Apart from that joke penalty, it is first time in a while we had perfect first half. Rashford and Martial has come out in force as I expected with a new change, Pogba look happy again and Lindelof is playing a blinder.
The only negative is Jesse Lingard. Take the clown off for Mata and we will have our most convincing win since Sir Alex.Better half than anything we ever saw under Mourinho.
Seems like our players were capable of capable of playing football after all.
Salvation!
Haven't seen our players this horny in a long long timeFukkin hell...the replay clearly shows it hit his shoulder.
You can’t fault the referee for thinking it was the arm, but we got unlucky with the bad ref call.You know girls and boys, I miss all the bitching and moaning in match day thread.
NOT
The absolute mad man!Oles gonna get the job permanently
I'm happy with this not because of the effort, as plenty of times we huffed and puffed under Jose this season, but because some of the combination play in the attacking areas was impressive.We are great to watch today.feck me 77% possession.People saying it's just Cardiff, just enjoy this mates, we haven't enjoyed a game for ages.
Ole's target is to play good football and entertain the fans, results come or not doesn't matter, but if we're playing well they'll come anyway.
Enjoy!Pogba 1/2 MoTM.
Oh don’t get me wrong mate. I don’t slate his effort and work rate but you can see his talent level is not that of Rashford and Martial and he can’t really generate anything on his own. His passing is also pretty weak. So I think Mata on for him second half. When Lukaku and Alexis are back I think he’d be hard pressed to get a game so he needs to impress now.
There'll be a better stat if we can score two goals in the second half. We never scored five goals under Mourinho. That was a stupid question.
It felt like we haven't forever. In the end Jose's aura was such that it felt like darkness everywhere.
He's generally poor in final third. But good movement wise on the pitch.Oles gonna get the job permanently
Lads its Cardiff cmon now.
I agree. I was just trying to point out that if Pogba plays at the level that he can and so does Lingard, we will be amazing.If Mourinho was still our manager, Fellaini would be coming on in the 2nd half.
If that happens I'm emigrating! Went to school with dozens of scousers in the 1970s. not going though that shit againNot getting to carried away it’s cardiff and they are piss poor, hope Pogba improves as he has been our worst playerTime to bring on Fellaini and park the bus!
Too bad everything turns to shit if he actually receives a ball... well the assist was nice but he just had to let it bounce of his foot.Really enjoying this. Hope we bang in a few more in the second half.The fullbacks are pushed up high, the attackers are roaming all over the place, everyone is attacking with pace and working together to win the ball back when they lose it.
It's like anti-Mourinho football.
He’s been positive, he still needs to play himself into form - it’s much much better, but he can’t suddenly get everything right - but much much better.Scholes looking like he's holding back a smile.77% possession!Cardif stadium looks very nice. How many people can you put in it?- Status
