    Go shove your ratings up your arse!
     
    The intent is there in the full back areas but Valencia is just quite useless offensively and slows everything down.
     
    And we switch back to the studio, where a bunch of bemused morons are having to explain against their will why United actually did quite well in that first half :lol:
     
    The last ten minutes were absolutely spot on and I'll be seriously disappointed if we don't keep that up.

    Pogba for 3-0 would've been perfect. 2-0 is good though, far too often over the past decade we've gone one up and sat back and ended up having to rescue a win from a 1-1 draw.
     
    Our play out the back is a bit slow at times, but this is nitpicking after such a good half.

    Smaldini a beast again. Fellaini great in that deeper role. Pogba's distribution and late runs in the box are superb. Lukaku can just smell goals.
     
    Outstanding,just a brilliant final 15 minuted to the first half...We allowed the game to drift a bit in the first 25 minutes but after we got the goal done of our football was just out of this world...Now let’s get the 3rd please...

    Not a great save. Pogba all the times somehow manages to hit straight at the keeper. A little angled and it was impossible to save.

    The media will be so upset about that first half. After yesterday you know that they were ready with the players are in revolt, lost the dressing room articles etc. Then we go out and actually play well! :lol:

    This is why I reverted back to french channels. They are a lot less biased (no ex Liverpool players). When we are good, they say it
     
    If martial gets his attitude correct this is a game he could get goals in. Away from home Watford have to attack and he can pick them off on the break
     
    Great half of football. Both goals were very good, very happy for Lukaku and Smalling. The last 15 minutes or so we played some really good football, that lead up to Pogba's save was beautiful.

    Sanchez needs to kick on in the second half, he's the only player I felt who needs to improve for the second half.

    P.S : During the summer, we were crying for a new LB. Suddenly, we seem to have great options for that position. Let's hope they keep it up that way.
     
    Matic Pogba fellaini - brilliant brilliant. Who would have thought?
     
    Great first half just to ease the pressure of what Watford may bring. Would love to see few more goals and i hope we dont step off the gas. Lets improve our goal difference. Felliani and the back have been great. Sanchez and Lingard need to step up a bit but otherwise been enjoyable to watch.
     
    I wish Pogba and Alexis score too, they've been good. Whole team has been good.
     
    Not for thie first time, I think Smalling missed his calling and should have been a centre forward. Great first half, more of the same please.

    Something has changed these last few weeks. Much more aggressive positioning, full backs pushing higher up, looking to dominate games. Great to see, still a ways to go with the fluency of the football but this intent is what fans have been crying out for, and if it continues much of the worries over Mourinho will fade.

    Also, we've never seen as many one-two by us in one game before. I'm extremely surprised and happy watching this.
     
    Who else is extremely happy we're making use of our giants on set pieces now. Its been grinding my gears that we've been so average at this despite having the size advantage.
