I imagine you'll be getting tons of replies with dog abuse now for this post.

Bring it on, if you want turd football, continue watching, if you don't try to do something about it. The football we played today is disgusting, God awful, an absolute disgrace. The win, papers over cracks that need address asap and that starts with the manager, his philosophy and the rebuilding Man Utd aura. I can't stand anymore of this shite.

I predicted 1-0 win for us...and it is even more satisfying that it was by a great goal by Rooney.

Looks like Wayne might be back.

So happy with that, honestly delighted. Hopefully that gives is the confidence to go on a run.

Hope it gives us confidence too. If we can do it under these pressurised circumstances we can definitely go on some kind of run. I don't care how shit we play, just put some heart into it and get us the points any which way.

1-0 United. No chance Van Gaal will set the team up like he did tonight against our biggest rival, knowing his job is now probably on the line.

Let's face it without DDG it could have been embarrassing. But the record books will show 1-0 United.

JinnerJamie · Jan 17, 2016

That's all that matters in these games, they can have the moral victory even if it's a small one.

It could have been, but the same at times can be said for other teams.

@Fully Fledged goes back to what we said about the opposition dictating how you play. I think United dictated how Liverpool played, not pressing their backs so they had the ball. Liverpool had a lot of the ball in non-dangerous positions. Think we played a bit lethargic at times and gave the ball away too much. Thought Liverpool were lucky that Lingard had a meh day, Martial though not particularly good, scared the shit out of them.

Jones and Rojo

Thanks - Jonesy is unmistakable!

I got 12 out of the 14. I got Lingard and Mata the wrong way around. I had Mata starting and Lingard coming on.

Yeah I can see that. At the end of the day when we are playing the Dippers all that matters is the result.
I do think that DDG had to have a top class game to give us the platform to win it though.

Blind would've been rightly lynched if Firmino had scored there at the end. Shocking laziness not to get back into the line there. De Gea saved his arse.

We're blessed to have him in goals, his composure in situations like that is incredible. I remember reading something about birds before, that they see things in a different frames per second to us and that's why they can move so quickly (leaving it to the last second to fly out of the way of your car etc) - They see everything in a slower motion.

I reckon Dave was born with the same thing.

It's shocking to compare both teams from what they were eight years ago. No wonder this game sucked.

I love a good witch hunt as much as the next man, assuming that man isn't Donald Trump, but you've been naughty with the facts there. Rooney skinned Toure, the rotund Ivorian just managing to nudge it out of play.

A couple of times 1 on 1 and he looked wary of running him. Surely he is an easy target to run at?

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.
