Thought Zaha had him worried constantly and lucky not give away a penalty.

Agree. It was more luck than anything that he survived. Not commanding at all.

I felt dirty saying it. But credit where it’s due.

That was a pen. I guess the Palace non-pen in the first half cancels itself out.

He got the ball first. Both similar in the sense the defender touched the ball first. And imo both not pens.

ha_rooney · Jul 16, 2020

Patchy performance, very important result. Some of the possession at times was awful but then we speed up the tempo & look so good.

Martial, Rashford & DDG excellent tonight.

GledTheRed · Jul 16, 2020

feck off Palace and Zaha you cup final cnuts.

That was as much of a penalty as the Zaha-Lindelof one earlier, in that it wasn't, but they won't talk about this one.

100 per cent agree. Neither a pen.

Fecking Jake Humphrey just won’t let that penalty decision go, wanker!

Clear peno, got outpaced for the DDG save. Blimey.

Outpaced? He had to cover for Maguire's poor defending...

DannyDee · Jul 16, 2020

Wasn't pretty early on and at a lot of points, but we got the 3 points. Rashford and DDG were the key guys. Bruno was erratic but had moments. Martial with another fairly strong game.

Doracle · Jul 16, 2020

Rashford easily MOTM. Basically did all the damage for us. Martial, De Gea, Maguire and Matic all did well. Bruno basically had a shocker but came up with two moments of class. Good win though in this tough run of matches.

DomesticTadpole · Jul 16, 2020

Bruno looks completely knackered.

Superunknown · Jul 16, 2020

Well that was easy.

doomy20 · Jul 16, 2020

Chelsea still has Wolves and Liverpool. Lester at Spurs and against us. We have West Ham. We just have to get Top4, no excuse

Fernandes doesn’t half piss me off with his corners and free kicks from the wing.

You mean all the corners he put on the head of Maguire this evening. Should have had 3 goals alone from those.

Sassy Colin · Jul 16, 2020

Took us about 80 minutes to settle down, but comfortable in the end.

A little lucky on the penalty situation in first half though - otherwise. Yes

Makes up for that Romeu red card the other day.

Icemav said:
We need more midfield control for when teams press us. Matic has made a difference since coming on.

Yip, I don’t think anyone thinks we are the finished product

I think that’s why we need to take games like these and be happy with the 3 points until we have a squad that can rotate without the drop in quality

With what? I'm not trying to bash him for no reason, but he was barely involved. Think he only started touching the ball when it was 2-0, and even then it was nothing special. It was a Lingard performance.

Antisocial · Jul 16, 2020

Anyone else interested in looking through Hargreaves' interior design book? Just me?

Of all time. For me at least.

Agreed.

Since no one else will do it, can I just say Lingard has been perfectly fine since coming on

If he can play like that every time he's called upon he's a useful squad player.

Same as Pogba people are inferring way too much based on body language.

More the walking around the pitch

I obviously saw a different game but he didn’t do anything of note for me today

rashford changed the game for me with martial I’m two individual pieces of game play

manichester · Jul 16, 2020

That was a difficult watch till the second goal. Some poor passing today but the win is important.

He wasn't hiding, was making himself available as an option for a pass and didn't make any mistakes.

He was quietly competent which is miles away from his usual performance.

TrustInJanuzaj · Jul 16, 2020

For all the stick Lindelof gets he doesn’t receive enough credit for his defending on the ground. He very rarely gets beaten by tricky attackers and really watches the ball well and moves his feet quickly. Such an underrated attribute which is absolutely Maguires weakness.

Charlie Foley said:
To be fair he landed enough corners on Maguire's melon head that deserved to be assists tonight.

Maguire would have got a higher rating for me today because of his clearances but his accuracy with his chances (i think he had at least 3) let him down.

Toad · Jul 16, 2020

Who's Kissing Cameras? said:
He’s whipped in 5 great corners that Maguire should’ve done better with.

But more often doesn’t get past the first man.

Aye. Hoddle's had Bruno, 'gets better and better' apparently, complete bollocks to be honest.

Yeah I thought he was very ordinary tonight, never really got into the game. When he did he gave the ball away a lot, and missed a sitter to boot. Not his best game. He’s allowed to be off the boil once in a while but i certainly wouldn’t say he was MOTM.

Kamprad · Jul 16, 2020

De gea - did his job
tofu - good job, not his natural position
mcguire - good job
Lindelof - ok. Could have caused a pen.
wan bissaka - Works hard. Good tackles. bad technique.
Pogba - Sloppy. Out of form.
McT - Good as usual. Does his job and little bit more than that sometimes.
Fernandes - Looked tired but still does important thing in final third. Good.
Martial - Very good. In form. Dangerous almost everytime he challenges.
Rashford - Good but can And should do much better.
Greenwood - not his best game

His corners are great. Our corners have never found our players this often.

Possibly, it allowed Pogba to get on with his day job, to control the midfield.

I wouldn't say he showed for the ball or tried to make anything happen. He just drifts around and if the ball finds it way to him great. He'll then take a couple of touches and pass it safely to someone else. Not what you want from an attacking player.

He didn't do anything wrong, but that's about it. Unfortunately, that's been his M.O. for too long.
