You can ditch the almost from that last sentence of the first point, mate. We have capable players, we just needed someone to tell them that it’s OK to go out and play.

We've out run Cardiff so far
feck. I pay a lot of money for that channel. Why am I watching another broadcast?Very good 45 minutes, let’s hope it’s more of the same in the 2nd halfI guess theres no need for Rio and Scholesy when there is no Jose to moan about
It is, but Mourinho went into even those matches like we were facing Barcelona, scared shitless and putting Matic 2 yards in front of the defenseEasy on the eye football for first time in a long timeDid you see how Matic made a huge hole in that wall?
These twats sacked me, put another 4 past them!Ole best not get us to calm down intensity wise. We have people on the bench to come on. We need to stay offensive because this team is not any good being defensive. Just keep going for it.
I am not denying that bit but on the whole they could do much better, specially Pogba.
Right. Let's not be too premature with the celebrations. Let's enjoy this match for what it isThat was so fecking refreshing!definitely hit his armFirst half has been everything I hoped and more. Got a lovely game pie from Manchester Christmas market, a Christmas ale, and hoped Ole would have got into the boys. We’re finally just outrunning the opposition. We look like athletes again!
Keep it going, lads. We want to walk to Old Trafford on Boxing Day looking for a real singsong.Rooney's half time analysis:
Rashford ball to shoulder was a pen.
Martial goal was a contender for goal of the season.
Stick to the pitch, Wayne.A first half that all United fans have been craving, but its Cardiff, not getting too excited yet, but that was a good first half.
He leaned in with his hand/shoulder towards the ball. He was always taking the risk by doing that. It was a 50-50 but I can see why the ref gave it.So much good. Full backs pushing forward. Centre backs being brave enough to take it past the opp striker and move into midfield...instead of just going easy and rolling it to Matic. Forward balls fizzed through the middle. A couple haven’t quite made it through but I’m just so glad they’re looking to do it. Lots of quick interchanging passes in short spaces. Can’t get too excited as it’s Cardiff. That said their recent home form has been brilliant. Pleased to see how we reacted after their pen as well. More of the same please second half. Excited again. Enjoying watching again. Hope to see on or both of Fred and Pereira
I know but even these kind of teams have been all over us this season so it's nice to see us playing like this.The attacking 5 have all contributed an assist or a goal in that half..What's Rooney doing there lol?Anybody get the impression that Wayne doesn't like Jose.Even Rooney saying how Mourinho likes us to sit back if we got 1-0 up to preserve it
Yeah it was always clear as day that our style was Mourinho's preference. We started every single game the same way, that can only be down to planning. We showed that our attackers are capable in those comebacks when we had to go gung ho.
This. That 3rd goal is what we have missed. Mourinho was not the right manager for us at all.Our players are actually working hard to get the ball back. Amazing how a manager can impact our performances so much.
Really? Jesse is running his socks off, being all over the pitch. There's no way Solskjaer will take him out before he's out of gas.
The only negative was that clown linesman giving penalty on that shit.Rooney's half time analysis:
Rashford ball to shoulder was a pen.
Martial goal was a contender for goal of the season.
Stick to the pitch, Wayne.
Martial's goal will be a contender though, won't win it for sure but I can see it on the list. We saw worse goals there previously.Doesn't mean shit, I'll take it after losing to Brighton, West Ham and Derby and playing like cowards against mid-table teams.
True, true, I’m not complaining it’s been a good watch. 3 goals in a first half, when was the last time we did that?Neil Warnock looks like a man who forgot to pay his TV license and has spotted a couple of bailiffs at the door.
Just shut that crowd up.People in here still moaning, Christ almighty, how depressing must some of you be in real life.
I wonder if him singling out the 5-5 draw as an example of the team under SAF might be a sign of things to comeThat was incredible but I won't get too carried away. We had good games under Mourinho and LVG too. Let's see if we can maintain this level of play over a long period.Another major element of our game today is the fact Jones and Lindelof transition from defence to attack carrying the ball.
Jones was on the left wing for a moment ffs
Jose would never,ever have his CB that high up the pitch. Never.
Was a stonewall penalty. Agree with the comment about Lingard.Young and Lingard below par. Pogba has had a mixed half - some great moments, some very poor ones.Lets see Fred and Mata!Anybody get the impression that Wayne doesn't like Jose.
yes
and btw, he looks so skiny, better than ever at United- Status
