He is cold
87 min
A rare mistake from De Gea as he fluffs his clearance from a back pass but Leicester can't get a shot away at the open goal and the danger passes.
No he’s not.The first touch by Shaw. Bergkamp would be proud
Ghezzal is garbage lolz
Don't let facts get in the way of the narrative now.The goal looks better from every new angle. Magical stuff with that finish.Pogba, Shaw, Pereira and Bailly have been great.Luke what you dun!
I probably used it wrong. I was going to write good but I wanted something a bit less than that and I ended up at solidOh. Just our use of the word differs then.
If 6 is a bog standard match with no real positives or negatives, then 7 would be decent and 8 would be solid in my view.
Decent would have been more appropriate in hindsight!
We were definitely up there, we had all those 4-0 wins.Love what I am seeing overall from the squad. The desire is there, hopefully it stays for good!Pereira motm for me so far, he needs minutes and game time this season, too good to lose.
He has been double shit, the same player we had last season. Hopefully, he is just out of rhythm.
trueNothing says Corner like the entire team setting up for a corner then running up field cause its a goal kick!Lindelof looks like a different player this seasonIt was a good goal by Shaw. Needs to give finishing lessons to our forwards
I think we'll look better when our midfield becomes more gelled. I'd persist with this midfield it has a lot of potential.
Yeah we were level on points up until GameWeek 8Lindelof and Bailly have been brilliant.TBF if Sanchez and Mata is on fire this match could ended up with 5-0
Agreed. Pereira my MOTM overall
He will always be Fatboy Shaw, regardless of how lean or large he isHaving Mata leading the counters is pointless. I like his composure for the assist but we need pace.
He's been good today. Hope he keeps it up.Shaw - Shades of Bergkamp the way he skinned that defender89 min
Great cross field pass from Sanchez sends Mata into space on the right. The Spaniard has time to pick out his cross but it goes over Lukaku's head.Cmon Mata, that needed to be pin point.
No, he just loves running in to players.There's no way that wasn't a cross to Sanchez Luke … who cares
Wouldn't say wrong, at least considering English is a second language for me.I probably used it wrong. I was going to write good but I wanted something a bit less than that and I ended up at solid Decent would have been more appropriate in hindsight!
I'd use decent/good at 7 and solid at 8. So I view the word solid as more impactful. Maybe I'm the on seeing it wrong.Sanchez looks knackered but is still giving his all. Am confident he will keep improving and cut out the sloppiness.Mata
Think a good World Cup has done him good. Maybe married life is suiting him.That pass from Sanchez to Mata
Yeah, loving the mobility Pereira gives us. Matic is currently a better DM, but he is damn near glacial sometimes and has been part of the reason for our slow defence - attack transitions.Lukaku didn't realize the high ball meant for the tallest player in the box was directed at him.Juan Mata, eeeesh
They have.If Dalot is any good we could have a great back four.Just put on the commentary for the first time this match and the disappointment is truly glorious- Status
