Actually felt really bad there seeing Pog desperately looking to the official for the goal after hitting the bar again

Their extra man in midfield together with pressing is making it difficult for us. The goal was so crucial.Why are they booing Rashford?
Free roaming playmaker. He had the most touches precisely the same zone Mkhitaryan was stationed, the left-center of our attack.I picked Hererra instead of Mata
Swansea have been good.
These are the tricky games we need to win.
Probably our most productive player in that first half, shockingly arrogant finish aside of course.
They didn't have a shot on but it was still too close for comfort and they forced us into a number of mistakes.
Edit: Agree on the timing of the goal, second half could be much easier.
That's silly. Robben is predictable. His gimmick always works though.
Maybe, but i hope not. Swansea will have to do some semblance of attacking this half. Pogba holding with Matic and releasing the attackers sounds pretty tasty to me.I echo the rare thought that this might be a good game for Fellaini. I also thought Mkhi looked good by the way so I'm not sure why people want him subbed. It's Mata that's failed to have a big impact on the game.
I'd throw Martial for Mata at 55 mins and move Rashford out right. If nothing's changed by 75' I'd take Mkhi off and throw Fellaini. Use a 4-3-3 to see the game out. Fellaini's height will be more useful for 15' against this Swansea tweam than Herrera's energy, imo.Eric's first ever goal with whole footballing career. Hope that Lukaku will make it 2.
I'm not really understanding the criticism he's getting. He's been fine.Why change anything unless you are more worried about your fantasy pointsPogba's crossbar challenge continue
To be fair to him the keeper pushed it onto the crossbar , it was a good header and a good save , and a good follow up by Bailly to finish it off.lot of noise about Rashford. I think he's been very good!Matic has been good also.
He's 19 years old....
Single biggest reason why he will make it, if he already hasn't. He will be fine.
He should have sheilded it and drawn a foul from whoever was following it through. It's all you can do in that situation and he just stood back and watched. Terrible defending to be honest.John Moss is going to find a way to feck up.
He dived and got a pen vs Swansea last season.Bit of a scrappy game, but it should open up in the second half after we scored.
And I'm pleased that Fosu-Mensah scored too.
Yeah. Hopefully it will transform the game as Swansea have to attack more, hopefully freeing up some space behind their midfield for Lukaku and Rashford to exploit.
Not a massive deal, no, but I just don't see what's he's done for our fans chanting his name after one season, where we came 6th in the EPL.I don't understand the Rashford booing. Where is that coming from?
I know, was just joking.We havent been great, Swansea have limited us to very little, their defensive play was good and our attacking play wasnt clever enough. Rashford has to start scoring those, he's worrying me, he also tends to scuff a lot of his shots, he's good on the ball, but we've seen too many poor finishes from him last siX months.
Brilliant attacking instinct from bailly.
thank you.
Dive last season.
The fact they keep putting 3 players on him every time he gets the ball says a lot. If we take him off it will give them more confidence to push forward and look for a goalCan't complain with that. Great timing for the goal, and a average effort for the first half.
I'd expect us to look a lot more composed second half. The build up play needs to be more gradual. Its frustrating, as we know how good we are individually on the ball, yet we make things look difficult at times.
Those asking For Rashford to be taken off are being a bit harsh, the kid has had some decent moments.
Him going down and getting a pen last season.Martial for Rashford asap plez.
Swansea are playing high press? And here I thought they had 11 men behind the ball and packing their defence.
What ? would you care elaborate on that ? in all the press conferences after last week's win he said time after time that it's just the first game and that we finished last year 6th after winning our first games so we shouldn't get carried away. where did you get that from ?
Being fair it's a really catchy chant, can understand why we still sing it.United weren't poor per se, Swansea frustrated them as was their plan. Rashford should've done better with his chance, I expect United will get a second if Swansea decide to play in the next 45mins.On second half:
Herrera for Pogba
Martial for Mata
Lingard for Micky Mouse
They think he dived to earn a penalty against them last season.
Think Rashford has been fantastic considering his age. I personally think he's a star in the making.
What, in his first season, when he debuted in February and couldn't stop scoring?Pogba needs to be allowed to get forward more surely, so much creativity we need to have closer to goal. I understand Mourinho wants structure but surely against teams like Swansea he can be allowed to get further up.- Status
