What did you mean?We're looking really coherent in the final third, for a change. Dalot and Varane looking excellent at the back, Maguire and Shaw getting there.
Still a bit thin in the middle defending the odd break, but that's not news.
Should be 3-0 up really.How can it be a technical fault?Very enjoyable first 45, that.
Rangnick is starting to get this shower playing. Progression is evident practically every week now.I know it is only Borough but nice half, getting a bit more fluidity in our build up. Complete control and should be at least 2-0.We have absolutely dominated and it feels so good.
Not a complain but even when Pogba plays well he feels the need to do Paul Pogba thingsMust be a payment problem?
This is genuinely one of the worst takes on the match today I can imagine anyone coming up with. Id like to congratulate you on what may be the strongest application to remain a Newbie in recent times.
Probably the tills/card machines?Old Trafford needs you, Rashford.With everyone fit, this is our best team (+ De Gea, of course). We´ve been missing a bit of physicality in the middle. Great to have Pogba back, he´s been good.We’re reasonably comfortable in this game and Boro have been nullified and toothless. We’ve played well too with some nice moves. Dalot at RB makes a world of difference.Far more cohesive and a great work rate from everyone on the pitch which has nothing to do with the quality of the opposition so it’s great to see. That needs to be the minimum from now on. Incredibly wasteful - we should be at last 4-0 up but still good signs.Prawngate aside, United did well.One sided contest the only disappointment is that United aren't at least 2-0 ahead at the break.Negative: Our finishing
Positive: Everything else
I have to go down five minutes before HT to guarantee getting a drink and having time to drink it.
The people serving must have sloth blood somewhere in their ancestryNo food or drink at half time? What the feck and why are they only telling them just before the end of the half?
That was a response to the 'No Food' announcementA good 45 minutes considering they haven't played for a couple weeks....i still would prefer to see Rashford on the left with Sancho on the right where both are more comfortableThought that was great, just wish we were a little less wasteful in front of goal. Varane dominating at the back. Dalot and Shaw doing well. Pogba great at winning and progressing the ball. Bruno creating chances for fun. Sancho looking more comfortable and performing well. Hope it continues and we get an early 2nd and 3rd goal so Hannibal and Elanga can get some mins.No food or drink will result in a loss in revenue today. That's the CDM signing gone in the summer lads. Fecking Glazers and Woodward will do anything to not sign players
Payments.One week without Ed and the place is falling apartNever mind the penalty, we could've easily scored 2-3 more. Plus their goalie doesn't look too much confident
Other than that we look very good.
yeahMcTominay and Maguire were unspectacular (although not bad either), Henderson had nothing to do. Others play well, but Ronaldo is terribly unlucky with finishing.
Bruno is MotH so far
No one is offended, we just don't want you to be held in contempt of court because of said emotions.
What sorry?Good game to come back to after a break, a nice run out where the difference in quality will eventually tell.The opponent is trash so I won't pay much attention to the performance, to be totally and completely honest. Get the win and progress to the next round. I won't draw much conclusion because, yeah, we're supposed to dominate against such teams, as shocking as it's for some here, apparently.Boro look shocking, we should be 5-0 up.Ok half
Pogba makes us look better
Bruno is back to his high levels
Ronaldo should just retire at the end of the season so he doesn’t destroy his legacyPretty good that. Still some very random decision making and sloppy passing though.
Not sure if seriousDominant half as expected. Would be up by more if our final passes were a bit more precise. Good game for Pogba to come back into.
Cheers
Thought it was something to possibly do with the food/drink announcement As I’d only heard it after the food/drink announcement hahaI'm pretty sad about Ronaldo's shooting performance today... Rarely I think he's been a level below is usual shooting game but today is one of those days. I know he can do better and that's what irks me, personally.Good half, comfy Varane looks steady moves the ball quick one touch. Ronny ffs how the feck does he miss them chances. Rashford looks good Sancho too, Pogba and Bruno with Mctom look steady so far.
Hyperbolic rubbish with no basis in reality at all. Me suggesting that the players look happier without Greenwood’s influence in the camp might be a bit crass, but it’s not divorced from potential cause-and-effect explanations. People say some right crap in here. Are you being real?
Happy to remain a newbie tbh.- Status
