Well Oles team selection and tactics looked spot on in the 1st half. I suspect City will make changes in the 2nd half. They had 25 min utes of 70% possession and made 1 chance. We then started attacking and they couldn’t cope...Over 50% of people in the Ole thread want him sacked.
Win or lose, people who can't see the progress need to take a look at themselves.
Fixed that for you.
Because everybody but Mike Dean and the clueless feck doing the VAR agrees that it's a penalty.
The ref has booked 2 of theirs for dissent... our players are smart not to give him the chance to appear neutral on it.The 1-0 lead is fully deserved.
Dean walks off the pitch, oblivious to his insanity. Or is he oblivious to it?VAR is fking sleeping. On a glance it looked dive but replay clearly showed fred was fouled. Why VAR didn't get into action?I know we are winning but I hate the way we are playing, it reminds me so much of Greece winning the Euro. We always have at least 8 players in the box when the other team attacks and try to score on the counter when the other team has no defense or from a set pieces, just not how I want to see us play.Deserved lead. Should've had a pen (or 2 with the Wan Bissaka one) to make it 2-0. Missed a few chances. Theyve had nothing.
Hope we keep it up, but notoriously our 2nd halfs against them are much different.Not just the feed foul being ignored by VAR but didn’t wan bissaka get brought down off ball too?PL referees are having it way too easy. fecking smug looking cnut.Martial could have had 2 assistsGood half from us. Let's keep it together for the 2nd half.
Andre Mariner
That's just freed up Fred to be more creative.
I'm loving this whole thing. I can't find anything to complain about. Sure, players are going to make mistakes, but my goodness they're making up for them every. single. time.I swear, someone is blocking the radio signal at Old Trafford. How did VAR managed to ignore that? You can not give a pen for that (although you probably should), but surely you have to rewatch it.
it' meant to work every time... that's the point of itDouble doings today.

Yeah, but wasn't shown.Mike Dean is a right bastard! Clear as hell penalty.
Andre Mariner is a right coward! Clear penalty.
Feck City!!
We got this!!Didn't Fred get kicked?
We have to keep this up second half.
We started like this against Everton but our pressing dropped off massively in the second half and let them back in.What a fabulous first half. For the first time I can remember, a United side looks better physically than a Guardiola team. I do worry that it’s only 1-0.AWB skinning their back line was fantastic
We've been far better this half, City never really recovered from the goal
Mahrez is going to play wide, it will actually facilitate our defending normally. But we don't know what Pep will do now.
Playing against Pep. Its like this. Theyve had no chances while we've had plenty. What do you want?
Yep, might not have been a penalty but it’s definitely wasn’t a booking
Would of had him man mark Foden.
Dean gonna Dean.The Fred incident is EXACTLY what VAR is for. It has failed. Absolutely ridiculous call.
Dean is too busy making the game all about himself once again.So we start the 2nd half with a penalty then?
What is the point of VAR otherwise?Brilliant first half from the lads! Bruno is an outstanding player, what a pass. Aside from that, a stonewall pen on Fred, absolute joke that he got yellowcardedCity will change it at half time, they will be better in the second half.
We will basically need to put that near-perfect performance in again to come out winners.
People criticising the back 5 at the start, where are you now?
I am talking about the ref in this game. Not what happened before and whenever we had a decision for us, we didn't cheat it, it was the correct one so should we feel lucky ?What is the purpose of VAR, if that wasn`t a penalty against Fred? Ok, Mike Dean made a clear mistake and gave Fred a yellow card, but why didn`t VAR react? A 100% clear penalty - City got lucky.
James and Maguire have been poor in the first half, the rest have been good.
Really should have had it. Thats whats so infuriating about him. He is quite a stereotype selfish moody lazy striker.
Yet he can turn a game on its head in a moments notice with an incredible goal or piece of skill.
He is still young and plenty of time to mature.Martial has scored home and away against both City and Chelsea.
