    Should really have put this game to bed first half - my only gripe. Still a game of 11 vs 11, Boro can get a goal back and suddenly it's a very different game.

    Why don't the bigger fans not simply eat the smaller ones?

    You expect the bigger fans to strip the smaller fans, then wash them, then carve them up. Then microwave them. Then add spices?
    All in 15 minutes?

    And what if the bigger fans don't eat meat?

    :p
     
    Pogba will go straight back into the team. Whatever you say about him, or how frustrating he can be, be he is a special talent, who unlike someone like DVB can actually impact games. He gives Utd an extra dimension in his passing and takes creative pressure off Bruno. Sancho was bright, making good runs, sharp with his touch, Varane was excellent.

    There are more goals here.
     
    Didn’t realise Matterface inspires so much ire. Kinda funny. Was never a big fan of Motty to be honest while we are on the subject.
     
    Bruno has created a good 4/5 chances already, he's been outstanding.

    Also, Varane is soo good

    Sancho looks so much better since He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is not in the team.

    Really? So they have been playing shit because of him? Riiight.
    He looks good because it is M'boro.
    Even mister bubble blowing moonwalker would look like world class player today, but had to sort his head! Wonder which head? Not sure there is anything in the upper head.
     
    That pass from Jones to Fernandes… beautiful. Exactly what we need a lot more of over defenders into players in dangerous positions.

    This. People don’t talk about Varane enough. It’s amazing how much his influence calms the defence down. So classy and calm every game.

    not against a top side....our midfield would get overrun

    To be honest, Bruno seems to be relishing his midfield role - he works hard anyway, but seems more disciplined and also seems to take better care of the ball the deeper he is. I get you though, you probably want Fred's hussle in a big game

    I personally don't dislike him, he just has a very mundane and blah voice, maybe good as a co-commentator but in the main commentator you want someone who is unique and who has flare and passion, he has none of that, he's boring

    It's 'grandma' actually :lol:

    For what's it worth, I hate the no cash trend. Don't care for these new processes in my old age.
     
    Ugh, enjoyed that half except for finishing and now that's making me nervous for the 2nd. Some really, really good chance. Rashford should have put one on a plate for Ronaldo, Bruno with a chance he should really be hitting target, obviously missed penalty.

    Do want to see Rashford/Sancho Bruno/Pogba switch sides second half. And hopefully a CR7 goal, he could use one.

    Wow, guess that's why you can't trust your eyes. Felt like so many wasteful flicks instead of just passing it properly.

    He was actually quite good during the build up. In fact he's steadily improved in that aspect in the last 4 or so games, worryingly though, seems his finishing is going the other way! :lol:
     
    Matterface’s voice is like nails on a blackboard.
    While Talking facts , Pogba has been a breath of fresh air, if I could time travel I’d now be dead from my former self in 2021 shooting me for saying it
