Two decent wins, good performances and plenty of goals. Who’d have thought missing our best players would have impacted our performances and it might not be the manager? Football, bloody hell.

Credit where it's due, two decent performances in a row (minus parts of the second half against Wolves) and two good wins. He still on balance deserves the sack come May. That may change if he can keep up this momentum of course.
Villa game now is a good test. I want to see the last two wins being built on. A win against Villa to me makes a real statement of intent .
A good game. Better than the last. I'll never be convinced about Maguire but we did keep a clean sheet today.
Fecking state of posting this after 2 wins in a row.
So posters aren’t allowed to hold views beyond 2 games?
He is very slowly starting to make better team selection decisions. Next step would be to stop bringing Antony off the bench
Just curious why after 2 wins someone would post 'things are lining up for him to get dismissed at the end of the season'. What the feck is lining up exactly? Posting the same old shite we heard before about transfers etc. Yes its been said before but I'm just baffled someone would post the same crap after the last 2 results.
Firstly, I didn’t post it.
Secondly. If a poster was unsure of EtH 2 games ago it’s be pretty silly for them to change course completely now.
Next time United don’t win 2 games will you be changing your opinion on EtH entirely?
Saying EtH is gone after the season is not being upset we won.
You are allowed of course but if you are actually a fan, at this moment you are estatic and celebrating not talking about sacking the manager
Two wins in a row? Christ, standards have slipped.
Yeah God forbid anyone should celebrate a win. Let’s just stay in self pity and keep fecking moaning like some on here.
You commented on it. The post says things are lining up for him to be sacked. So what the feck is lining up for him to be sacked after these results. Why would someone post that when it’s unrelated to the results.
FFS, the social media team are so cringe. Football fans only care about the possession % for god's sake
We used to lose 3 or 4 games in a season. You're now happy with two wins in a row. Enjoy your celebrating.
You’d have to ask them why they posted it after a win but next time we lose, cause all teams do, you’ll be in here talking him up [as is your right] so when someone comes back after you with ‘The state of this post after we lose’ does that mean you can’t post until we win again.
The intentional lack of nuance from you for that throwaway post is ridiculous. Guys basically saying if you look at the situation overall he thinks EtH will still leave at the end of the year. Relax.
He was rock solid. Very good today.
What should we do. Fecking keep moaning like you??
Who’s not celebrating the win?
Asking for a friend as you’re yet to quote anyone not ‘celebrating’ the win but those talking about overall performance outside of 2 games.
Hello Louis! Nice philosophy!
Right we shud stay miserable then and not celebrate any win until we are winming all the time
No his comment was things are lining up for him to be dismissed. I’m curious how he came to that conclusion after this weeks results. If we had lost I would understand but to say things are lining up is what I’m querying.
Plenty on here don’t seem to me. Look at the poster responding to me after you.
Where did I moan? I stated that standards have slipped massively. It's called an observation.
Yeah, sure.
Weren't you the same guy who was saying that ETH threw Sancho under the bus from that throwaway and pretty innocuous comment in a press conference? Talking about lack of nuance.
We can only celebrate the results we have. Should we be higher in the table yes. But we are all hoping we can put a run together and keep winning.
Feel free to quote a post where I specifically state ‘EtH threw Sancho under the bus’ [I’ll save you time, you can’t cause I didn’t] I can however find you multiple where I said better leadership from above would have nipped the whole thing in the bud otherwise back on topic.Weren't you the same guy who was saying that ETH threw Sancho under the bus from that throwaway and pretty innocuous comment in a press conference?

I’m amazed how many posters hold grudges to the point they don’t just follow people around into different threads but flat out lie.
Talking about a lack of nuance, indeed now go wind your neck in.
How I would love for us to go and beat vill, go on a run, get into the champions league, ETH turn us into some win at all costs team, go on to win the league under him and have good champions league runs/ wins all while Liverpool see klopp go and disappear again.
what a dream
what a dream
Another win and another meltdown. God forbid we win FA cup or get into the top four.
Go be a fake fan somewhere else; I‘m tired of you miserable feckers.

And score how many goals? Stats prove nothing. A team could have 10 shots out of the area, doesn’t mean they created them chances
I've seen more posts like this one complaining about "moaners" than I have actually complaining about the performance (which was itself good throughout the full 90)
Nobody should be ecstatic about winning two games, however decent today's performance might have been.
I don’t think us playing better is purely because they are back, and I hope it isn’t. If our tactics are entirely reliant on all players being available it doesn’t bode well.
But overall I think we are just simply much better with two actual midfielders that can contribute in defense, as well as having two out and out wingers with pace.
It’s also literally the first time in an almost a year that we’ve played well twice in a row. I wouldn’t be going too far with excitement. Let’s see how long we can keep it up. I’m happy with those two games and results, I find them encouraging but they haven’t exactly filled me with a massive amount of excitement, it’s too early.
He absolutely was not rock solid. The decent chances they had were due to him making errors in defence.
I think them being back together is massive. Licha Shaw casemiro and Mainoo all playing together gives Bruno the freedom to go back in his best position as a 10 and also impacts the players in front of him. Casemiro and licha are also far better off the ball than their back up players, which is why we look more organized than before.
I disagree that their absence being the issue is worrying, that's a huge quartet to miss which would affect most top clubs who are 4/5 years in the process let alone us.
