    In off the bar, what a goal from Martial.

    Really pleased we went for the third goal instead on playing for time at the end of the half.
     
    Put our best team out, blow the opposition out of the water and then rest the best players for the last 30 minutes. Rinse, wash, repeat.
     
    I mean because we’ve made a habit of fecking up when they do! I still wanted Leicester to lose! :lol:

    Martial & Greenwood with the sauce
    I get what you mean mate, when we’re losing I stay away from here because I’d be just as bad. :lol:
     
    Lovely finish and great first half. And to watch this while wrapping your arms around your wife on Independence Day makes it perfect.
     
    Serious response after that howler. Great to have our front 3 on the scoresheet. Martial take a bow son that was unbelievable.
     
    Martial what a bloody brilliant goal. Nice to see our forwards all with a goal.
    I don't think we have played that well, but scored two nice goals from the distance and got a cheap pen.

    Fernandez with two assists even though I think he has been very average today. Just simple passes though.
     
    No chance Bournemouth are going to go on a scoring spree on us in the second half. Bring on some fresh legs to give rest to the weary.
     
    Beautiful finish, he’s scored a few like that, think one was against Stoke years ago.

    Was it another “assist” for Bruno?
     
    This is the first time in years that Man Utd have consistently played like Man Utd.
     
    These guys up front are gonna end next season with mad goals and assists stats.
     
    Unbelievable. Guy wasn't beaten once today, covered every situation but he is the one who should be replaced? Bloody hell

    It doesn't matter that he wasn't beaten once, they played multiple direct balls to Josh King and Lindelof is a bit passive and doesn't really attack the ball in those cases. Several situations where they were easily able to get up the field or threaten with a 1v1 near the box. Ultimately he is a solid defender when facing his man but why risk it?

    Anyway, he doesn't need to be replaced. I'd be happy with Matic just dropping back a bit more and making it back 3 as well.
     
    You can notice how much we're improving under Solskjaer. Steadily but firmly, we're getting there.
    He is making all the right signings and giving us confidence going forward.
     
    What a weird half, I don’t think we’ve looked convincing at all & a draw would’ve been a fairer half time score but I’ll take it.

    Bruno & Greenwood look great, but DDG..I mean I think we need to seriously reevaluate our GK situation as that goal today was too easy and Kicking wise he’s been poor, Infact poor in general for a while
     
    As already said, gulf in class between two teams. Our defence was too relaxed and complacent and it cost us clean sheet run. Time for the hairdryer. I’m sure Fergie passed it to Ole
     
    I still wonder how our penalty takers are decided. Scored so who cares either way.
    Bruno is no1. But i guess Rash asked him to end goal drought.
    Personally i don't like it. If we had lead by 2 or 3 goals then ok but at 1-1 i want best penalty taker on it
     
    Very satisfying first half despite the comedy of errors that led to us conceding. All of the front 3 on the scoresheet.
     
    No, go for the kill and score another couple.

    None of these are tired, the game is very passive.

    I actually agree with both statements. If LCFC lose today, we'd be at least 6 goals behind in GD. So if we can get another few or at least 1 (so we can guarantee the win at least), I'd keep players on till the 60th minute.
     
    We have scored 3 without going into 2nd gear. There is a lot this team can achieve when they get closer to full fitness
     
    Aye, tough ball to be given for a CB, whoever he is.

    Very poor from him and AND De Gea for their goal though.

    Fortunately, we are scoring for fun!!!
    Can’t be getting nutmegged in the 6 yard box. And getting beat at the back post like that is really poor. Cant fault response though
     
    For the people that keep saying Bailly should be playing, do ye just ignore how he actually performs when he plays?
     
    Really good half for us. Even going behind was a good test for teams self belief.

    We’ve been ruthless in our finishing, and it’s fantastic that our entire front 3 has scored.

    We should go full full throttle for 20 mins in 2nd half, hopefully get another goal, preferably one for Pogba, and then bring on the 5 subs.
     
    Mason is just a kid but so so good. Great goal and then a beauty by Martial. Aside from a Lindelof, Maguire and De Gea feck up it has been a good afternoon of football.
