    Game far from over...
    This is, as we all know, the most dangerous score in football.
     
    Please please please let this be how we play football from now on. This is Manchester United.
     
    This is probably the first time all season where we've made scoring goals a priority and not cared about possession stats. When was the last time we had 12 or 13 shots in the first half alone? That's more then our usual full game total. Best half of the season by a very big distance. Not just because we're winning 2-0, but because we've actually made plenty of other chances and are always looking to attack.
     
    Strange hearing happiness at Old Trafford and not moans and groans.
     
    Thew best football we have played in ages, it feels like we created more genuine chances in that half than we have all season.
     
    Martial is on his game today, as is Mata. Both have been great. Credit to BoJack, Rooney and the rest of the defence.

    For me the difference has been Carrick. He starts moves off so quick and keeps things flowing.
     
    Does sound like it's christmas at Old Trafford. Fantastic to hear :) Great first half.
     
    Is it me or is the ref blowing every time the wind blows on a Stoke player?
     
    The only difference is we have taken our chances in this game, this game still feels everyone just lost their fitness levels like on Fifa.
     
    I'm sure this has been asked, but where is Giggs? Didn't see him in his seat
     
    Shock horror, we've had less possession than Stoke! Long may this trend fecking live if it means actual attacking football.
     
    Very good half. At last some entertaining football. Pleased with our general play, real urgency. Even Mata is sliding into tackles. Only thing that pains me is how slow Carrick has become, well he is 35. Time to find a proper replacement.
     
    I wonder if LvG will learn how the Premier League can be a lot of the time now? This is only the second time we've been out-possesioned (?) in the Premier League that I can think of, and we're 2-0 up. Other was a 3-3 draw with Newcastle, which we really should have held onto. However, goals win games and we score more without the main aim being to keep the ball. Who'd have thunk it? :)

    Really enjoyed that half, probably the best first half we've had this season.

    I saw Van Gaal and Stuivenberg doing it, but didn't see Giggs at all. I mean didn't see Giggs there at all.

    I told you already...Giggs is sulking because LVG said that today we will play direct football and aim to score goals at every opportunity. :p
