He's easily better than Fellaini (who has his role to play don't get me wrong) and Rooney in midfield, that alone justifies him starting surely?

Fellaini has done well this season and gives us a physical presence. Rooney has done well in midfield for us, plus it allows us to play RVP and Falcao.

Mata can't defend. Herrera can do both jobs.

He's a number 10 since when has that been a requirement of his role? Mata is a lot more productive than Herrera.

LARulz · Jan 31, 2015

This is so much more like it from Januzaj. Confident now and doing what he did last season this game

Shaun Wright Phillips?

He thinks Sterling will end up like Wright Phillips.

Correct.

Cool. Hopefully we can pick up some form and keep it that way

I don't think Herrera sees himself as a number 10, but a number 8.

Not a single backwards pass from De Gea. Outstanding.

I tend to always give the team credit but today we haven't played scintillating stuff or anything, its just been easy. Like we're obviously playing well but Leicester have done nothing.

Maybe they can't do anything because we've been so dominant. When you compare this game to our very recent one, you'd agree that we've been world class.

I think it's because when our gameplan works as intended it makes the opposition look total shite. Precisely because when we execute well it means that we are totally dominating the game. So I agree with you.

Indeed. Admittedly it's paid off against teams of lesser quality. I think most people want to see that against the best teams. Yet the a top team rarely dominate the other in a game. In any league there's a bell curve when it comes to performances. I think the majority of us (as mufc fans) have been spoilt when it comes to this.

Missing Fellaini ATM

We are 3-0.
We are dominating the play.
You still think we are missing Fellaini?

RetroStu · Jan 31, 2015

Passing back under no pressure, urgh

Raw · Jan 31, 2015

How many times is Falcao going to get pulled out wide?

Mrs Smoker · Jan 31, 2015

Vaaaaaaaaaan Persie! :x :x

Ah. Weird.

Tincanalley · Jan 31, 2015

The width of Old Trafford must be a killer when you are three down at halftime

Marcosdeto · Jan 31, 2015

we should have scored there

Gannicus · Jan 31, 2015

Killing the game off with endless possession is the right thing to do but I really would like to see us bring on Herrera, push Roo up and take off RvP and go for a 6-0 win.

jeff_goldblum · Jan 31, 2015

Should have laid that off for Januzaj there Robin

You mean a De Gea own goal?

Minkaro · Jan 31, 2015

Would be nice to get Wilson on after about 70 mins.

Winrar · Jan 31, 2015

Turning out to be a boring half, we're on cruise control at the moment.

Mystry · Jan 31, 2015

Van Persie spent too long dicking about.

Count Orduck · Jan 31, 2015

Rooney's been so, so bad today.

I'd be fecking worried if there was

Drifter · Jan 31, 2015

Maybe Rooney should have had a go.

Like a young lanky Giggs is back (if you squint) sometimes, until he does the greedy bit one time too many at the end … pass sometimes you fecker

marlowe78 · Jan 31, 2015

Relegation watch. Stoke lead Raisins 2-1

prateik · Jan 31, 2015

Rooney

Dunk · Jan 31, 2015

Why didn't Falcao take the shot? That's the second time this match he hasn't taken the shot.

Ekeke · Jan 31, 2015

Falcao should have done better. Rooney will get no credit for winning the ball, making a good run and being unselfish, the pass was decent enough even if it was half a yard too far

But I think LVG sees him as a number 10 hence why he doesn't get into the team.

LvG sees a lot of things wrong unfortunately.

Oh Manchester... · Jan 31, 2015

The complains recently about total possession and no risks or real chances, at 3 nil up this is when the tactic can be implemented and really work.

I was wondering if this was true or I just couldn't remember any. I really can't remember De Gea touching the ball, back pass or catching a cross or anything.

LLMU · Jan 31, 2015

Shaw looks much better in a back four. Januzaj's and him are causing some trouble to Leicester

Raisins are shocking away from home, Stoke's second there's about four defenders running back towards their own goal.

Why would he see him as a number 10 if he's never played him there and when he has played him, he's played in central midfield?

He deserves a rest.

marlowe78 · Jan 31, 2015

LOL Should be yellow for a dive

Definitely at least one, from midfield around 15 in

It's like he's got new balance on.

I really think they should be trying to get that goal difference even higher, while they have the chance.
