    First time in a long while, the performance was enjoyable and fruitful as well.

    Dalot looks like a talent. Love his forward runs and positive deliveries in the box. Happy that Young got the goal. That's what happens when you give freedom to attack for your fullbacks.

    Matic and Herrera look solid. Herrera and Lingard are the ones taking initiative to press fulham. Rashford & Mata look positive. They are being productive

    Lukaku finally got a goal. Hopefully he can kick on.

    First time in ages, I felt like all 11 players played well. But, it could be a false positive. Afterall, it's Fulham

    Fulham are the worst side I've seen this season, no pressure on the ball and defensively clueless, this is a gimme for even our inept manager.

    Come on now! When we draw against Crystal Palace or Southampton - we are shit - now that we are beating a poor side well - we continue to be shit! Cafe is a depressing place at times

    I’ve spent more than you have in flights alone supporting Utd over the last few years so don’t start the Top Red shite with me just because you’ve found an illegal stream to watch us on.

    Piss of.
     
    Helps that were defending on the front foot

    Say what you want about Jones, but he's a much more aggressive defender, and Smalling always looks more comfortable next to him.

    :D @haram is already going on as if this is better than Barcelona's 5-0 win v Real Madrid. Just shows how low we've sunk that having the game won v a team of absolute crap at HT is seen as an amazing achievement nowadays.
     
    We shouldn't need Pogba to beat Fulham at home, and it's proving that way. To suddenly decide we play better without him, well it's the stuff of dreams for Jose, he'll love that people are falling for that.

    A fridge could have scored that goal, the build up was good but it had nothing to do with Him. You seem a bit too happy about beating a team that is literally league 1 level ...

    You seem to be struggling here, at no point have I suggested Lukaku is a footballing God because of that goal... I have stated that he has scored which is good, and it was a well worked goal, which is good, and we are 3-0 up, which is good.

    Which part of that are you struggling to grasp?
     
    Best football of the season. I guess not having a slow minded primadonna on the team does have positive effect.
     
    We're so starved of good performances and goals that when we finally accomplish this against a team that routinely gets thrashed, we have a positive knee-jerk reaction to slam the "doubters", as if in one half we dropped the mic, proverbially, on a half-seasons ills. :lol:

    On the plus side, Dalot on the right provides a much better balance. Mata tucking in from the right allows him that space to roam into.
     
    Fulham are proper shite,

    Fulham are proper shite, Pogba would be bossing it right now. And we weren't great against Arsenal, people were just relieved we didn't get beaten.
     
    Ranchero said:
    Exactly. That's the result of not having diva Pogba in the starting line up. Less pose, more purpose.

    You are aware that Fulham concede 2.5 goals per game on average. We have been very good, because we have played some shit teams and still struggled, this time we’re doing what we’re supposed to. Pogba can destroy this lot with the movement that’s happening up front for us today.
     
    3 goals in the same half, we are spoiled.
    Will we get to Mourinho's usual self next weekend.
     
    For all talk how we played better without Pogba, it's like someone else forgot how we played without Pogba, many awful performances. Fulham doesn't press us as much as hard, that's why we played better because they hold their shape and don't press us.
     
    3-0 up and idiots want to be as negative as possible. No one said we were going to win the league, we are just happy we are winning like any normal fan.

    I'm pretty sure he'd rather Pogba actually perform so his own job wasn't at risk

    If he could stay fit he’d be comfortably our best defender. He’s way above Lindelof and the like.

    Exactly. Get the top quality players out and the jammy grafters in. United need to get back to that industrial blue collar style anyway. They aren't known for flash (Best, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo)

    We are not known for lazy flash, or flash without product. We have been looking for players with flash and no substance.

    We were poor against arsenal, putting away a horrible Fulham side which is as things should be

    Hopefully we use the chance to rest matic now, 3 goals up so no season to play him the full 90

    Do you struggle to read ? As I have previously stated - check your enthusiasm, we are beating the worst PL team in their worst period of the season

    You forget to take your meds this morning ?

    Pogba is still by far our most talented midfielder.. too bad Mourinho cant get him to play well every match.
     
    One thing Mourinho was right on was having bulldogs in our team. Herrera is exactly that. How he can say that and keep playing Matic in the same breath is infuriating though.
     
    Dalot makes such a difference too. We actually have someone over on that right side now.
