    Excellent half, could have had one or two more. They've pushed up more than they did at home because of the early goal, this Utd team always look better when they go up early, it sometimes seems they need it otherwise the heads drop and it becomes a bit of a struggle.

    Cavani's got excellent movement up top and Donny's been good in the deeper role.

    Should be doing this to these weaker teams every week.
     
    Stop the Rashford bashing please. He is our most dangerous player just behind Bruno and is still young ffs. We are winning by a margin, just calm down.

    Special mention to VdB. He is not perfect and maybe not enough agressive off the ball but what a breath of fresh air. I love his one touch passing. He give us fluidity and speed in the middle of the park when Pogba is hanging the ball too much... He really is a player we could do with to break a parked bus.
     
    This is frankly ridiculous, if you’re dissatisfied with winning 3-0 go and support Liverpool and don’t let the door hit you on the way out

    3 - 0 up at half time and people still find ways to bitch. Sigh, this forum is going to the fecking dogs.

    Do all of you actually enjoy life anymore?

    I can only assume that the moaners are seeking nothing short of total perfection from start to finish.

    No wonder they are never satisfied.

    Just cannot believe our defence. Right at the end there is Turk tearing down the left, going in on goal, and he decided to retreat to mark NOBODY. When he should have been closing him down. The defence is a problem.

    All stemmed from lindelof marking AWB in the right back position and leaving a massive gap to maguire. Why did he even get involved?

    Rashford gives up the chance for a hatty, then bags one anyway. Now Bruno?

    I did say at the weekend that I wanted Rashford to take the next pen though. Bruno’s confidence has clearly taken a hit on them, but you’d think this was a low pressure chance to get it back?

    He got it back the moment he banged in the retake, and at those who are trying to claim Bruno gave it up, utter bollox as ypu can see the disappointment in his face after rashford scored.

    An exhilirating first half because Ole actually fielded an attacking line-up, rather than two CDMs who take the tempo out of the game. Only serves to show how we should never have been so negative and deplorable when playing these in Turkey. We should be qualifying from this group at the end of tonight. Instead, with three points here, our qualification for the last 16 will still be in the melting pot.

    It's not a bad position to be in though: we're through with a home draw against PSG.

    Indeed. It is criminal that we lost to the last CL game week. Totally criminal. And it might yet cost us
     
    Can't believe I'm coming onto to here to find moaning and nitpicking about individual moments while we're up 3-0 at half time.

    Great game from us so far. I'm very pleased. My only complaint is it would have been nice to see Fernandes rewarded with a hat trick. But he's still got more than enough time to do it. I certainly won't complain about It Ashford getting on the scoresheet either. The first goal was a great strike. Pure rocket.

    I've been very impressed with some of the play between the midfield/forwards. Particularly Bruno, Van De Beek and Cavani. Some liquid football at times. Especially that first 25 mins or so.

    Nah, as a disabled person I'll give him a pass in this instance. Retards is what they are after all...

    I have to disagree. Sure, you may disagree, but there's no need to go that far. To be fair, I'm pretty sensitive on this subject as one of my brothers has Down Syndrome, so I get why I may be alone on this!
     
    Goal & assist for Sancho tonight.

    Nothing to do with this thread, but I'm just a pawn with only 5 posts a day.

    they will moan at anything, and many would prefer if we dropped points just so that they can rant on Twitter and an Internet forum!
     
    Rashford is making things happen. Occasionally he makes mistakes when trying to do so. But that's a cost you should be willing to pay for a productive a attacker.

    It's a lot better than him doing nothing to make things happen and thereby making zero mistakes in the process.
     
    I always love the over exaggerated moaning about....over exaggerated moaning.

    One or two people moaning suddenly about causes 20 others to moan about our fanbase :lol:

    I think you meant to say 'foot like a traction engine'.

    He retreated to cover the space and made a fantastic block after a fantastic decision.

    Why the feck would he allow himself to be dragged all the way out to close down leaving the middle wide open for a guaranteed goal.

    It’s always amusing people talking shit about a professional players defensive positioning when they haven’t a fecking clue them self.
     
    Significant improvement! I'm not saying we can win every game against weaker sides but we need to create chances. Great display so far.
