    Honestly don't know why he took off Martial. He was one of the better players. Certainly better than Sanchez.
     
    Can't blame bad teams for playing like thugs when we see refs letting them get away with it
     
    Is Marriner wearing a bra?

    Sanchez drifting into the middle quite a bit from the left, near to Lukaku which is depriving us of the width Martial was giving us. Making it all a bit too narrow for us I think.
    I'd love to see a map of all of Valencia's passes.

    95% backwards I reckon.
     
    I think we have to take it easy on the guys. Most of these players have played every game over Christmas, and along with Liverpool are the only team with a 100% record. They look knackered. Shaw has been running that flank a lot. I'm not surprised he looks crap today.

    I am pleased with the performance so far. It's a different type of game, a grind, and a fight. We've tried to play good football, we've pressed, but ultimately we've done what we have to...so far. You have to pass all kinds of tests, hopefully we pass this one.

    Pogba is such an idiot. It’s a simple fecking pass to rashford you fool. Why does everything have to be done in fecking style with this fool. It’s so aggravating. Pass the damn ball everything is not a fecking joke.

    Thought the same, lots of people getting aggrieved by the challenge on Pogba (fair enough) but he had such a simple pass to make out to the wing, for a good couple of seconds beforehand.

    I'm not saying he's doing fine, just that it isn't as big of a problem as people are making out. If he's made a mistake and he knows it, why not change it in the second half? It's just a typical case of scapegoating.

    Not scapegoating. It's criticizing a player who has been shite, that's all.

    Pogba leaves one on Shelvey as a little pay back for that earlier challenge. Fully deserved.

    Alexis is playing within himself - maybe not fully fit? (I don’t want to accept he’s past it)
     
    Sanchez playing like a man possessed in training apparently, too bad he plays like a man dispossessed in matches...

    Goal for Manchester United

    Romelu Lukaku
    Lovely counter-attack, led by the subs Lukaku and Sanchez with the Chilean playing the Englishman into space on the left of the box and he has time to pick his spot past Dubravka.

    He really took his time there, Solskjaer-esque cool finish. Passed into the net. Beautiful.

    Yes Pogba. Snapping him back. Less vicious though
