Because Falcao will probably stay here next season. Officially it's a loan but in reality he's been bought.

If he does end up staying our transfer policy is completely fecked up really

manufanatic · May 17, 2015

That 2 goal should have come.. But with jones feckup this game is still in balance

62% possession against Arsenal, i bet that doesn't happen often for Arsenal.

What, having 62% possession against themselves?

JR10 · May 17, 2015

Great goal in the Budweiser ad.

Shark · May 17, 2015

Fantastic half from us, shades of the form we seen vs Liverpool, Spurs and City. If only LVG could crack it against teams that sit back and we'll be champions next season.

stu_1992 · May 17, 2015

Good first half. No complaints from me. Controlled the game, played some nice stuff too. Well worked goal. More of the same please.

That would be quite unfortunate

Monaco are having desperate trouble with FFP and are desperate to get rid of falcao. Its obvious we will strike a new deal for something like £20mil, there is no other reason to be playing him at this point in the season if he wasn't staying.

Hoof the ball · May 17, 2015

I think this is the entire point of playing into LvG's philosophy.

The current players get used to dominating games possession-wise and controlling the tempo. Then you sell and buy players in each successive transfer period which add elements of creative spark to the method of playing. So, in effect, with the right personnel, dominating games with fewer actual goals becomes dominating games with many goals and a reduced risk of being quashed under pressure throughout a game.

Rado_N · May 17, 2015

I want to shove that pie down Shearers boring fecking throat.

ClosetDevil · May 17, 2015

I actually think Falcao has been decent..?

Young has been outstanding along with Smalling.

So better than our last home game then.

AllezLesDiables · May 17, 2015

De Gea was poor in that first half. Nearly gave Arsenal a free goal and distribution was spotty

Adam-Utd · May 17, 2015

If only we had a world class striker upfront we would be 4-0 up by now. So frustrating to see falcao stuck in imaginary mud all half.

Raw · May 17, 2015

Why couldn't we do that in the FA Cup? Yes I'm still annoyed at that.

Debatable

tob · May 17, 2015

How many shots have we had blocked by our on players this season?
I know Fellaini has been in they way of a couple, and Falcao.

I mean, if we're gonna do something special on freekicks, don't we have a sign or signal of some kind, so that all the players are aware of what's gonna happen?

Tibs · May 17, 2015

Falcao has done alright aside from the slips. A few times he's been in good positions but the ball hasn't come in quick enough.

We will win 3-0

Hed Zitin · May 17, 2015

All this slipping almost seems as though it's our tribute to Stevie Me.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · May 17, 2015

If Falcao hadn't have fallen over so many times, he'd have looked pretty good. His hold up play and graft around the final third has been good. Still expecting more from a striker (goals!) but he's not been as terrible as we've seen before.

Decent half. Barely a sniff for Arsenal so far. Not enough replays of De Gea though. We need more body language to dissect.

Gannicus · May 17, 2015

No shots on goal for le arse in the first half...first time in 10 years.

Welbeckham · May 17, 2015

Young and Herrera have been fantastic.

Someone · May 17, 2015

The first half was great, but i can only think of that jones gif, it's on repeat inside my mind.

meaning they don't often have that little possession in their games.

Falcao haters out in force today.

Surely you aren't suggesting he has done well? He is a joke. He has lost more than half a step...I don't think he is capable a running any more.

thelemon · May 17, 2015

Thoroughly enjoyable thus far.

Organic Potatoes · May 17, 2015

That halftime stat sheet :lol:

marlowe78 · May 17, 2015

Young is tearing up the left. Bellerin is playing deep against him which gives him a ton of room for pace. Fellaini and Mata have been solid, Herrera what can you say.

I would expect Arse to push us at start of the 2nd so it should be a good test for our defenders. Jones and Rojo need to be better.

Wow Arsenal first time since 2004 they didn't record a shot in the first half of a PL game.

shabadu84 · May 17, 2015

Bossed it. Arsenal's best chance was the DDG/Jones mix-up

JR10 · May 17, 2015

This is so cute. It's like Juan is telling his team mates to stay away, Herrera is his. Or it's like Herrera is being held captive, Mata has saved him and is now fighting off his enemies with his hand like he is using a sword.

Rado_N · May 17, 2015

Souness doesn't find Fellaini attractive.

WyoManU · May 17, 2015

Midfield has been incredible. Both Young and Herrera causing all sorts of problems.

Been outstanding to be fair

Yes, he has.

Irrational. · May 17, 2015

Henry blaming Sanchez for the goal. Makes sense.

Stookie · May 17, 2015

One of the best first halves for United this season. Young playing very well again. Falcao making some good runs but it's just not coming off for him.

Walters_19_MuFc · May 17, 2015

Great half, although, had we made better choices in the final third, we should have probably been up by more. Very happy with the way we've been playing, though. We've bossed the midfield, varied our play and created chances, etc. Just think we need that second goal. Pretty comfortably so far, though.

Mystry · May 17, 2015

Good half. Fellini has been threatening, Young has been good again, Herrera is just beautiful and besides needing to change his boots falcao has been decent making some good runs.

On the other side rojo has been poor with the ball and Jones' brain is on the fritz again.

More the same with Di Maria coming on late on to expose them when arsenal invariably throw too many men forward.

£20m would still be too much imo. Considering his massive wages and it would mean having a squad place taken by a striker who does nothing.

Walrus · May 17, 2015

Pundits saying basically what I have said all season that the very presence of Fellaini makes a difference to the way that teams have to play and defend against us.
