    Good game to watch that, but our defence was rather average tonight. Young and Martial were class today.
     
    Far too many cases of giving the ball away needlessly today. Some stupid free kicks near the end could have resulted in an equalizer.

    At least the players upped the tempo in the second half.

    Of course. And feck caring about the team. It's about the club. And if the current set up is heading towards a wrong direction that takes the club absolutely nowhere it should be shown. It's not rocket science.

    So booing is the answer? It's pathetic.

    Well yeah, you called out Rooney haters? That was your post :nervous:

    I thought you were suggesting I was attributing the earlier "Rooney's shite" posts to you.
     
    A win, and an entertaining one. Not quite solid, but are we not entertained?
     
    If Fabianski scored then I was ready to start supporting my regional lacrosse team.
     
    Result flattered us. What a load of crap.

    Martial and Young were pretty good today.
     
    Thank feck for that. Never has 3 points been so welcomed!
    Shout out to Martial and Young. Nice one from Rooney as well.
     
    A narrow win against a managerless side just above bottom 3.

    But a win's a win and it's a start.
     
    How can we stick with Van Gaal when we showed nothing different from the other games we played?
     
    Almost fecked it up against arguably the worst team (formwise) in the league.

    Absolute struggle right now. Regardless of the win, nothing has changed and LVG still needs to get out.

    I would be furious if woodward hasn't spoken to Pep or Mourinho yet.
     
    I was thinking when the corner came, why is there only one player guarding the post for the corner? Swansea almost punished us for this
     
    Their keeper scoring a last minute equaliser was too fecking mental even for us.

    Just focusing on today, a much needed 3 points. That's about as positive as I can go.
     
    Just before Swansea's last attack, we had 3 players charging forward for no reason leaving a ton of space in midfield. So silly to do that with less than a minute to go and they got two good chances.
     
    Man of the match is Martial with Young just close behind.
    Rooney scored a great goal, but our defence was not that good under pressure.

    Especially mental when we usually don't it at 0-0 in most games!

    Baffles me how we can't just the slow motion 75% game sucking possession on the go when we're winning.
     
    The same number of goals in one game as in all of December.
    Hope we haven't used up our monthly quota.
     
    Macari just saying: it wasn't great but we won.

    @Harrisamo, you are wasting your time. This is the Caf, where people think negativity is cool. But yeah, good game, two excellent goals. Good tactical approach. Team looked sharp, gave it everything and Rooney is getting closer to Our Bobby as all time top scorer.

    Team looked sharp? You mean going forward, maybe. Defending was pretty shoddy.

    Yeah tough one to call, I thought Young just shaded it; hope he is not injured btw.
