    Burnley do look like a team running on 50% after Europa. We need to drill them in second half
     
    So. You're not watching the game. Cool.


    My vision is fine, maybe you should heed your own advice.
    Don't bother with that guy, he's been moaning all game and the current scoreline isn't stopping him.
     
    Amazing people still want to moan. It's been so miserable lately, how you can't enjoy us being so comfortable and leading 2-0 I don't know, typical of this place.
    It's the bigger picture mate. Yes it's nice to win but it does feel a bit desperate and it's only Burnley
     
    We need to keep the intensity up and go for the jugular in the second-half. We have every opportunity to make a big statement of intent here.
     
    Second-half kick-off
    Would be a shame to see us sit back and see this out. Go and grab a few more!
     

    Second-half kick-off

    The Burnley players came out early for the second-half so they're probably looking for a fast start, no doubt spurred on by a heated half-time team talk. It was a fairly lacklustre first 45 minutes from them.

    No changes at the break.
    Who 8is this guy? Had no idea we signed a new left back. Oh wait Woodward made him stay!

    Woodward didn't make Shaw stay. Shaw fought to remain. He didn't whine, moan or get his agent talking rubbish to the press. He worked hard, improved his fitness and followed his manager's instructions. He is fast becoming an example to many talented footballers who seem not to be getting enough game time.
     
    Ok. I beg to differ. We have had real purpose and zip to our play. We are pushing Burney back to their 18 yard box, and our CBs are doing a good job winning the ball back when they are hitting the out ball to their striker.

    Burnley weathered the storm for a bit (before the first goal) and were coming back into the game. The goal came at a good moment for us and it was a peach of a cross from Sanchez.

    We havent had zip to our attack. Its been quite slow by the standards of any other team. Lingard is the one who has had good feet at times but hasnt quite hit the mark with his shooting.

    Sure we've defended fine, I'm mostly talking about attack because we havent had to defend much.
     
    People going on about Burnley being poor this and that. All week the media have been full of how tough it’s going to be for us at Burnley and how we’ll struggle - well done United same again...
     
    To all the delicate flowers spamming me with quotes, get over it, not everyone is about winning by any means necessary, some would like to see us absolutely dismantling the poor side in style .
     
    Can't be since you asked me the same question twice despite me giving you the answer the first time.
    No you didn't. You stated we were 2-0 up which you can read at the top of the page. If you think our main thread of attack today is long balls you have not seen either goal, nor any of our attacking play today.

    It's quite sad to be honest for some players. Luke Shaw is clear evidence that working hard and delivering gets you a spot in this team. He has been treated far worse than every other player.

    Ashley '50 games next season' young has finally been benched. Young has spent 5 years benching better players than him, now its his turn.

    You're spamming us with your shite wummery. If some want to call you out on it so what, get over it

    May be that your vision isn't the only issue then, if you failed to see the amount of long balls we were spamming before the opening goal...

    Do you regularly come into match day threads, not watch the games and just spout off "popular" complaints? You must get a right kick out of it.
