Mata has been sensational tonight.

 

[lex talionis]

Imagine what a footballer Mata could have been if he had had any real athleticism.

 

[El Zoido]

VDB looks mint.

 

[kidbob]

Lovely goal, nice touch from VDB too.

 

[MattofManchester]

Lindelof has the point there. How often you see throw in into our own box like that when the other team set up to press?

Its Lindelof. He shouts at other people for his own mistakes.

Beautiful Mata and VDB

 

[Offside]

Suddenly Mata looks class when he’s not playing these lesser games alongside Lingard and Pereria.

 

[Uniquim]

Great pass by van de Beek!

 

[Maureen-yo]

MOTM for Mata two games running...

 

[Bebestation]

Soon as we get more creative players on we play more creative. Shocker..

Nice pass from Fred & VDB.

 

[Gator Nate]

VdB had just the right touch on that thing, too.

 

[Delano]

Mata's played like the old lad at 5 a side tonight. Past his peak, pace isn't what it used to be, but absolutely class when he's on the ball.

 

[Drifter]

Now that was a good move. Lovely assist from VDB.

 

[Random Task]

Mata deserved that.

Best player on the pitch second half.

 

[Nick7]

Nice little touch by VDB.

 

[Chicharo]

VDB

 

[Red Shorts]

Mata scoring is more satisfying than most in this squad. Delighted

 

[Sassy Colin]

Go on Mata

 

[Trophy Room]

What happened to Pogba's arm?

Marital relations can be hard with a new baby.

 

[starman]

Mata renaissance, who needs Sancho

 

[A-man]

Mata’s on fire!

 

[In Rainbows]

Imagine what a footballer Mata could have been if he had had any real athleticism.

Cursed with civilian athleticism

 

[Jules_T]

Great assist from vdB

 

[Ali Dia]

New deal coming up for mata

 

[kidbob]

Imagine what a footballer Mata could have been if he had had any real athleticism.

Honestly would be a legendary talent. Has everything else to his game that you want from that type of player.

 

[Withnail]

Delighted for Mata... Lovely taken goal

 

[GifLord]

0-2
Mata

 

[Oldyella]

Ah, remember those times when people begged Ole to start him over Martial ?

While never at Martials level he looked handy enough to give him a breather when he first arrived. I just dont get how players look worse the longer they stay with us.

 

[90 + 5min]

Brighton are playing 2nd string too right ?

That's right.

Eh they have fringe players against a Premier league team as well and they look like they know what they are doing and we look like we would struggle against Raith Rovers. We are one Hendo save away from 1-1.

No, we wouldn't. I am always fascinated how people always see that we are being outplayed by opponent and that we don't know what we are doing. Still we came 3rd last year and went to semi in every cup.

Maybe it’s because we are reporting on what we see.

People see what they want to see. There is agenda.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

50TH goal for Mata

 

[MattofManchester]

Did I just see us cross a ball? :O

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

50 goals for the club.

Probably 30 assists.

Played under Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho. Squad player and contributes.

The disrespect for the man.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Pogba looks good in the 10 role, as he did when Ole first came in.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

Poor header from Pogba

 

[Superunknown]

Great touch from VDB and nice work from Mata. He may not have pace, but he's absolute class. There's definitely a place for him in our squad.

 

[TMDaines]

Imagine what a footballer Mata could have been if he had had any real athleticism.

Or we just used him as a 10 when we bought him at his peak. Always disappointed that him, Rooney and Kagawa didn’t get a run together as a narrow set of three, how Chelsea used Mata with Oscar, Hazard and Willian.

 

[TsuWave]

Mata isn’t even that old. He’s only 32. You can still get a couple seasons out of him contributing.

Pogba looks a lot better playing closer to opposition’s box

 

[K_Ash]

Paul as AM..so nice to see.. so nice

 

[redshaw]

Classy stuff from Mata and Donny.

Mata decided to go across the middle line and ghost in.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Pogba looks good in the 10 role, as he did when Ole first came in.

His brain and ability is a few levels above everyone
