we were very good in making this a fighting win. Shocking. I have a feeling Bristol City will give these lot a good game.

2-1 squeaky bum win against a team sitting at 17th in the league who haven't scored since the new manager took over. Really positive stuff.

Foxbatt · Dec 17, 2017

It was a deliberate stamp on DeGea. But no one will talk about it because it is United.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Dec 17, 2017

Thank feck for that.. Job done!

AndyJ1985 · Dec 17, 2017

Sick and tired of negative tactics against shit teams

ash_86 · Dec 17, 2017

Good win. 3 points in. Pogba will be back

redhoop · Dec 17, 2017

Phew - tough at the end, so let's take the 3 and move on. Well done, chaps.

OldTrevil · Dec 17, 2017

Job done

feck off the refree, cnut din give us anything at all. fecking hagazi kicking at de gea if he isnt banned, it would be a stupid stupid decision.

Dargonk · Dec 17, 2017

Poor second half in the end, but got the job done

buckooo1978 · Dec 17, 2017

poor from the players - complete lack on intensity in the second half

I care. We should be better than this, but we're not.

MThomas · Dec 17, 2017

Cheers for the 3 points

Utter wank performance

Jazz · Dec 17, 2017

Job done thank God. On to the next game.

At this moment, only the 3 points matter.

Did sky mention it? Not paying alot of attention, but not heard any real condemnation from commentators.

My commentors mentioned too. But if some City player had kicked a keeper then the commentors would be calling for a red on the keeper.

AshRK · Dec 17, 2017

Another game where our players just decide to sit because our rb gets injured. Coward display.

dichinero · Dec 17, 2017

What a lol of a match.

SirAnderson · Dec 17, 2017

Serious bad second half, just freaking glad we got the 3 points, but this defensive playing like we are a relegation team is driving me insane.

Nope, I don’t think we should have. It’s only by becoming passive that they have been in the game. We should have continued to control the game in their half and looked to maintain possession, whilst not overly committing men and not giving the ball away unnecessarily.

That's easy to say, but you have to commit men forward, and then you expose yourself. And we're not exactly great at passing it around and keeping the ball.

Many weeks to go before the end mate

I'd love to be proven wrong. As it stands we aren't winning jack shit in the league either. I'm not happy with second.

How did the free flowing attacking Liverpool do against them at Anfield last week?

But you are saying his style of management can not win titles, and its the same as it was when he won.

All 3 United · Dec 17, 2017

Great 3 points against a battling team with a new manager. Performance was poor, Pogba can’t come back fast enough.

DevilRed · Dec 17, 2017

Good result away from home. Always going to be difficult with so many matches in succession. Was comfortable in the first half and for most of the second half until they got the goal.

Thats 3 times we have conceded from set pieces for our opponents last 3 goals.

Something needs to be done about this. Very un-Mourinho like. The chelski teams of old with JT were absolutely dominant in the box. We are lacking this part.

Why the feck are you comparing us against looserpool?

lysglimt · Dec 17, 2017

Wasn't pretty, wasn't convincing....but we won, and today that is all that matters

redshaw · Dec 17, 2017

We beat our sister team but they had more shots and shot on target.

Hope that West Brom player gets banned. Disgraceful trying to crock the keeper to help them get a goal.

We're second in the league, have scored the second most goals behind City, and have conceded the least amount of goals. And we're missing our best player. We're fine.

We'll see. I highly doubt he can do it.

Are you kidding? Is this the first time you've watched Mourinho? Mourinho has always turned to contain mode after getting a lead. He's done it literally in every game this season for us. Not once have we kept possession to see out games, we always sit back in the second half, concede all possession and just look to counter. Every fecking time. It's not a coincidence, its very clear tactics. Then when shit goes wrong and we concede, its very difficult to turn the tide back in your favor.

Not keeping possession is a symptom of not having quality players or players without composure. It’s got nothing to do with Mourinho.

It’s impossible to think Jose asks his players to give the ball away. What he does is to sit back, let the opposition throw the kitchen sink and we can counter and score more goals.

Unfortunately, the players in his disposal are lunatics. The inability to string few passes together to launch counter-attacks is the responsibility of the players. If they cannot do that, perhaps they don’t deserve to wear the red shirt.

SirAnderson · Dec 17, 2017

I just hope Bournemouth do us a favor and give us some entertainment at least today, cause I need a reason to cheer aside from just getting 3 points.

Looserpool? You're on ignore.

It's a half witted tactic that makes no sense and doesn't work. They've had 5 times as many chances since we started sitting back, plus a goal.

And how do you know how many chances they would have had, if we hadn't sat back? We could have conceded more. Now we won the game so it worked.

Prodigy24 · Dec 17, 2017

Should have destroyed them in the second and scored more, instead we got another awful second half where we invited an absolute horrible team back into the game and ended up defending our lead again. Delighted with the three points but it doesn't have to end like this.

Also that Hegazi cnut has to get a ban. What was all that about?!

Redplane · Dec 17, 2017

I'll be happier with the win if those pricks get a ban for a deliberate attack on Dave.

He won the league in 2015.

Doesn’t mean he won’t still win the occasional trophy, especially when all other teams are as poor as they were in 2015, but it will be the exception rather than the rule.

No shame in it, even the Italian catenaccio era came to an end eventually. The Mourinho pragmatic 4-2-3-1 has had its day as the pre-eminent tactic, it needs to evolve to stay relevant.

He's won the 'occasional' trophy since 2005? Really?

They halted the attacking machine that is Liverpool recently.

So we should be comparing our play with Liverpool is it? and just because they halted the "attacking machine" that is Liverpool, we should sit and help them attack our goal? Really weird analogies.
