I think it's more about us playing some brilliant football than Leicester being terrible.I haven't seen the English Pep so pissed off since his days at ValenciaNeed to keep switched on, Leicester surely can't be that blunt again in the second half. Plenty of pace on their bench too.
Took a while to get going but the attitude seems to be right for the first time in a number of weeks. Just need to keep it that way.
Shoo! Shoo! Close the door on the way out please.Leicester dominating us.
A mid table club coming to OT and we are barely able to get out of our half.
It doesnt matter what they were champions last season. It was just a once off for them.
But us? 3 seasons and we look like we've gone back to the Moyes days.Really amazing what the confidence does. First 15 mins were quite poor but after we scored it was just
Hopefully we start playing with confidence from the first minute now in next matches.
Nah think he is much better in this game Zarlak.
No, that was 4-3 at half time. Not 4-0.saw this on Facebook , had to steal it.
Daley Blind could find space in a single bed with Gemma Collins.. Unreal
He is complementing us actually. Said he hasn't seen us perform like that for years, and I make him right on that front.
Fair, I'd just rather play for Arsenal more than Leicester.
Yep. Agreed. Need to keep our intensity for 90 mins. It's important.
I agree, but he still looked world class in that game. He completely ran the show and deserved a goal, came close multiple times.
To be honest, the way we are playing without him, it would be cruel of Jose to put him on. Just a few miss placed touches...or any sign of slowness and the crowd will be on him.....
.....or perhaps Jose wouldn't mind doing that.
Having a Cantona MomentCheers..
What is he doing?
He didn't play against Feyenoord either and we were total shit then. The whole team has turned up today, it's not just the fact that Rooney isn't playing.
I hate streams though. I will see it all eventually and get to see the goals and good stuff on here anyway.
No I just think that maybe Jose will bring him on,So, you are saying that when we don't need to score a goal, that is the time to bring on Rooney?
Who wants to bet the game ends 4-0, or 4-1?, there always has to be some kind of downer with us these days.
My bad it was in the middle of reactions to smallings goal on here, that's unlucky. It did seem negative even at that point, it was 11 minutes in and we'd had a couple of chances, still I was not expecting this at all I predicted 1-1, happy to be be so wrong.Rashfords a constant threat when he's playing like this. Our midfield balance is perfect so far.
Been a while since I enjoyed us play.
This got lost in all the excitement I think
Hopefully this.
Are you... Joking?
Don't ever. They just won the league last season and I personally know of some of their fans who scoffed at us.I kind of feel sorry for Leicester now
Probably asking for too much but really hope we can keep a clean sheet and grab another goal or 2. I want this win to be a real statement and confidence booster. Aswell as making sure we don't have Rooney starting for anymore games. We have all said it for years Mata should be our number 10.
Why can't it be a good united performance? Why is it when we play well it's because the opposition is poor.
Probably better than our one.
I wouldn't mind that tbh. But we have too much pace on the counter, that's where we will get them. Keep it tight in defense and hit them on the counter with Rashford and Lingard.
William Carvalho from Sporting is picking up form again and would be a good option."Rooney will play 90 minutes"
More like 4 (Shaw, Fellani, Rooney, Martial). Be interesting if Shaw and Martial were on for Lingard and Blind whether we would still be this fluid. Then if Miki was on for Mata, would we be even better. Unusual for Leicester to get destroyed at corners, but the change in play after 2 goals was impressive, confidence has certainly grown.
The debate in the papers will be whether Rooney being on the bench was fan/media pressure or good management. Probably depends on which side of the fence you sit.
Reading 4-3???Last time I was this excited about a United team was against Leicester when Di Maria scored the lob. That was a false dawn, hope we can push on in the second half and get a bit of momentum going. Don't need to make any changes in the second half, keep this 11 on the pitch and let them play out the whole game.
Before the match, when interviewed he really looked unhappy.
I think he has taken a lot of flack over the support he is giving Rooney.
And now that we have scored 4 goals (something we haven't done in years), without Rooney, he is even more worried, for Rooney.
I have no idea why so many people support a has-been.
I loved players like Shearer, RvN, Keane, etc. But I would never say that they should play in our 2016 team.Absolutely LOVED the way we played. The tempo and energy needs to be this high in every game.Watch Mourinho put an extra man in front of the back four to kill the game off at four. This match reeks of Inter Milan and tbe Bernebau.Rooney will come on and I hope he scores, this should be about the team and not only him. Do we really want him to go away or do we want him to be a good player again?
kind of admire him for not.- Status
