[Carolina Red]

Afroskills!

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Hennessey needs some Hennessey at half time playing behind this defense.

 

[MadMike]

Matic is being sloppy

He's not been having the best of games

 

[dichinero]

Stop it Mata

 

[shamans]

Difficult skill

Should have hit the target at least. Poor from Mikhi

 

[Hisha]

Mikhi is playing poor, means goal and assist incoming..

 

[Z_Wolf]

Take Fellaini off at half time.

 

[robinzx]

2-0 but I suspect Mou will bring up "Playstation football" again. We should be in front by more.

 

[Member 58925]

I watch football, I dont just look at stats.

You're right. Feck the results your entertainment should come first.

 

[whatwha]

Mata needs to shave his head. Duck ponds all over the place on top of his bonce.

Nah. Can't imagine he would look good as a baldy. His hair still looks okay when it's not raining.

 

[ash_86]

Mikhi is playing poor, means goal and assist incoming..

 

[anant]

Mata's touch is out of this world.

 

[Loublaze]

Yes, he doesn't have it in him to dictate the tempo in midfield and to create chances.

 

[Ban]

Young is incredible

 

[Snow]

Townsend is no match for Young

Keep up

Townsend is no match for Young.

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Take Fellaini off at half time.

Matic deserves to come off this time actually

 

[MThomas]

Upss. Look at that below par assist.

And ?

 

[Adisa]

Hope we run up the scoreboard. Will be disappointed if the scoreline stays the same.

 

[bosnian_red]

Comfortable as expected. Pretty underwhelming at the same time? Palace are god awful but we haven't been creating too much to be honest. Expect us to step it up and score a few more in the second half. Really hope Martial gets a decent amount of time in the 2nd. Same with Herrera. They've done really well whenever they get the chance.

 

[AkaAkuma&]

Good half, need to be more convincing defensively. Going forward, Lukaku needs better service. Matic as ever a rock.

 

[Baxter]

He's not been having the best of games

I thought he was very good. Had a 2-3 minute spell where he gave it away a couple of times, but he's always been available and kept the play moving well.

 

[Ban]

And ?

You can't enjoy a game?

 

[Freak]

Mikhitaryan needs to get more into the game and start making better decisions. Everyone else has been good. We should try to improve the tempo in the second half.

 

[Hed Zitin]

Very happy with that. Everyone doing well.

 

[Achilles McCool]

He's not been having the best of games

to be fair, he's been great this season, so if he has a "less than stellar" game, I'm happy that it's against Palace

 

[Traub]

I would take off Lukaku for Martial and move Rashford up top. Not that Lukaku has been playing badly, but there were rumours of an injury before the game and he could do with a nice solid rest.

 

[rio's upper lip]

A bit of a post Europe lethargy in play here, nothing to be too concerned about. Still comfortably ahead of a team without any real attacking threat.

Young's cross was mint, but he's been a bit cack defensively. The little joy that Palace has had came down that right flank.

 

[Offside]

Weird that every league game this season at Ot we've been shooting towards the Stretford End in the first half.

 

[AXVnee7]

Good half from us bar a couple of PS footy moments. We look in complete control now and should be able to pick Palace off at will when they advance on us.

 

[pseudo_canadian]

These are the games where you can really boost the GD. Need more goals.

 

[R'hllor]

Use your squad JM, rotate for feck sake, sub Matic. He should be also subbed vs CSKA...

 

[Garethw]

Young is incredible

Looks to be making the left back position his own.

The attacking threat he offers from full back shows what we've been lacking since zebra left.

 

[podurban2]

Martial and Herrera on, Lukaku and Matic off, please.

 

[MThomas]

You can't enjoy a game?

Where am I not enjoying it ?

 

[el3mel]

Anyone thinking the team looks somewhat tired today ? especially Matic.

Very good to end such a game that early.

 

[#07]

Glad to be in a comfortable position. We haven't been that good but we haven't needed to be. There are a few things that haven't been great but, as long as we see this out as we should, it shouldn't really matter.

 

[peridigm]

Hopefully we come out reinvigorated for the 2nd half.

 

[Drifter]

Good first half. Let's really finish them off and not concede from slacking

 

[Bwuk]

I'd get lindelof some minutes today if possible. This games over.

 

[11101]

Glad to be winning comfortably but I think it's the wrong team selection today. We're looking blunt and Palace are making us better than we are.
