Great half. We have shown urgency in playing/attempting key passes which is good to see. Little bit of composure and could have got one more. Hopefully we will get couple more in 2nd half and not concede.

His touches are still not up to the mark of an international striker. Rooney has to be good in such games. He is the captain. He cannot just be decent and get away with it.
This.better end to the half than the start, 2 cracking goals.Strange one, I think most of the players have played really well. But Carrick has been very poor, Januszaj far too soft, and Rooney a bit off. And that's been enough to make things quite shaky.
Herrera and Schweinsteigher on for Carrick and Januzaj and things would look great.
But Depay is the big bonus tonight. I'm hoping we'll look back as a "Rooney versus Fenerbace" type of game for him.Rooney hasn't been that bad, stop using his previous performances to judge him in this match.
Aytekin is very, very tall, around 2 meters tall I believe.
That ref looks huge anywaySchweinsteiger needs to come on for Carrick. He's been poor tonight and was poor against Villa as well.What started off bad things have improved, impressed with Depay.Are you all still fecking moaning! Jesus fecking Christ. Just watched a young player score two fecking crackers in a game we are controlling and it's just moan after moan.
I'd fecking jack in watching football if I got no joy from it like you lot.Bastian for Carrick as soon as possible please. Absolutely terrible from him.
Memphis with 2 great goals.
Rooney's service has been rubbish, although he is dropping too deep. Adnan a bit meh. Mata providing nothing offensively and defensively.
Smalling has been a beast so far. Different player from the previous seasons with us, he's more commanding now.Carrick and Rooney off, Bastien and Chicharito on!
Schwienstiger to better conrtol the MF and Chicharito to actually play as a striker and not a shit No.10.
I would bet on that.
Agree
I feel that adnan has had a bright start. I really want Herrera to get some game time, also, but I'd rather it be at Mata's expense right now.Frightening amount of heads in here looking to jump on Rooney's back. Take a deep breath, give him a couple of weeks, he'll be fine. Most of what he's done tonight has been fine.Happy with the way the team is playing, Brugge are leaving a lot of space and we should be beating them but this will bring confidence to the team and only help us start playing better in the league.I think we'll see Bastian come on at half time
I agree but he needs to up hif form and today he has done it. He still needs to do a lot better.
He'll get hooked for not passing to the TalismanSo we're playing nice football actually.
Shockin ey?
Overall United have been quite excellent. After United scored the first, there was kind of a lull in the game. But the worry is that we are carrying Rooney and Carrick in the game. They need to be substituted.Rooney has not been as bad as some of you lot are making out.Carrick never starts a season strong, and 2 games a week just might be too much for him at this age. Had hoped that Schweiny would start this game instead of him.
Theyt were but you can see they are running out of steam at half time already. They cannot maintain that pressMephis has been brilliant
Rooney is getting there, making some good passes but can still do better
Januzaj is playing so well in his free role
Carrick & Morgan have made excellent interceptions in midfield
Darmian has been pinned down at the back - they did their home work there otherwise they will be roasted
Smalling was great defending but his distribution was really poor, Mata was controlling the game from that wide position, Januzaj improved his game while Memphis is playing out of this world, terrific performance from him.
It was his ball for Memphis where he was put in on goal and should've scored.
Yeah maybe we move Adnan on the right and Herrera comes in for Mata.
I agree, I am used to seeing him sitting and controllingthe game from the back, he's not looking good going forward. BS would play that role much better.Entertainment is back. Reminds me of fergies last season when we would only wake up when opposition scored first. Depay i knew you could do it. Looks like you dont like the easy goals. So happy for him.Still can't get over that pass from Blind to Big Memph
Then we have Mike Smalling playing like a boss
More goals please. We need them.
Carrick will be subbed, Rooney not so sure.
He's been better but still God damn awful.
If I play my cards right I won't have to sneak inRooney started off shite but grew into it as the half wore on.
Would like to see some more attacking down our right hand side. Darmian should get forward a bit more.
Oh and Memphis, what a great half and two beautiful goals!We've been the better team no doubt. Smalling has been very good, but we look like we can concede from every attack down our left.
Memphis has been amazing. Exactly what we've been missing from this side. Rooney's touch looks better, so there's that.
Nice to see a few more risky passes to create.
Mata isn't doing enough at all. Darmian isn't attacking enough.Release the FRO.Rooney has been good tonight,need to bring on Young or Valencia for Mata.i don't think this Team can defend against pace on the wings- Status
