He could. Garnacho was there for the bounce.W
Where are you? Still know how to use an iPhone?
I'm not being funny but the majority of my Sunday team would score that chance on a dog shit covered playing field after 15 pints the night before.
It's cool to hate rashford, I get it, but he definitely wasn't at fault there.
I thought your comment came right after he had run behind Brumo and made space for Bruno's shot
Ha fair enough mate, we're all good
I don't think they did, but if you're in Fulham's shoes you definitely feel like you had the point in the bag.
It was a bad pass though. Weird post to get annoyed at. He agreed that Garnacho should have still scored, but the pass was hopeless.A bit lucky in the end. Maguire was immense, thought Mount & Mazraoui were very good. Bruno & Rashford were pants. Lost midfield after the subs, but Mount was probably knackered as he didn’t stop for 60 mins. Not sure where we go from here, still not enough goals in the team. We are going to need 20 more than last season to have a chance of top 4, even with a better defence.As long as we stopped being stupidly open, we can defend fine. Our attacking play has been shit for a while, and last season our abysmal defense made a lot of people overlook our clueless attack where we were dependent on players basically pulling a goal through some moment of individual brilliance of the opposition mistakes.Case was greatThese post match interviews are so pointless.Maguire was tremendous tooWhy does she keep asking him about feelings? Feel like I'm watching a counselling session
feck me
Yeah. Awkward interview.
Ye that’s true. Luckily aswell our defence look a lot stronger this year so will help us grind a few wins.I doubt we'll keep getting away from giving the opposition a 3 on 2 everything we loose the ball from our setpiecesETH vs Keane

Did I forget someone?
McT! He was effective- 7Last edited:
After rewatching the replays, ok, I was wrong.
Look again!
I’d give Maguire MOTM. Don’t think you can give Zirkzee an 8, pretty anonymous until he scored. Not sure Bruno deserves 7 either. Just my opinion though.Not understanding the hate for Rashford, had as good a game as anyone, gave it 100%, his form looks off, but seems like people just got the knives out regardlessWas a solid performance.
If you can force yourself to be positive (I know it’s hard to do on the Cafe) that was a few connections away from a 3-0.
Bruno could have had a brace and it was harder to miss that Rashford/Garnacho chance than it was to score.
Happy for Zirkzee!
Aye, I cannae believe yous doubting me!Great job, lads!!!
McT plus Zirkzee might turn out to be winning formula in terms of scoring.Impressed overall. I liked the pressing but didn't like when we were exposed at the back on the counter, but them is the breaks i guess. happy with the win and a good performance.
There is no doubt that he put in more effort today than he did last season.
Backgammon, we take some gammon and see if we can stick it to people's backs without them noticing.
A bit harsh on Onana given he kept a clean sheet and was very solid with what work he did have. He seems generally calmer than the first few months of his Utd career.
Fair enough. Few weird moments though. He still gives off a slightly anxious vibe
It’s definitely going to take a while to trust him. It does feel a bit like the Barthez days.Get in there.
Storybook debut for Zirkzee. Could and probably should have been a lot more comfortable than the final score really.Very happy. For 1st game and with some of these guys only having for back from holidays recently, some big positives. Main negatives is we are susceptible still to breaks through the middle (although I’m not sure you can ever truly stop this if you want to press aggressively) but the worst remains our finishing. Should have been 2-3 nil today.Great win, average performance, lots of work for ETH but he made the right subs at the right time. We need Zirkzee up to fitness quickly he finds space beautifully and his touch is silk and he’s probably only 75% fit.Andreas with a nice message on instagram, still clearly loves Manchester United. Good for him.
we can only live in hope- Status
