Post-match discussion


Tue, 17 September 2024

Simple really
-Big win, running up the scoreline with little fuss
-Confidence booster (especially for Rashford)
-Players getting a decent run out
-And crucially no injuries!
 
Perfect performance. No injuries. Confidence flowing. Love the clean sheets, gives the defence confidence. Scoring goals for fun. Happy night

Completely agree
 
Several top class performances. Eriksen and Rashford still stood out among them.
 
that was fun

when was the last time we saw such a dominant, confident United side playing with such flair

Hopefully we can takes the vibes into Palace
 
Very well played. Fantastic game to build some confidence. But we won't often find conditions as comfortable as today. Barnsley really wasn't a match, their tactics weren't working at all - played into our hands even.
 
7 goals does not seem excessive. There were a fair few really sloppy moments in front of goal still.
And Barnsley didn`t register a shot on target all game, barely a half chance.
We have not slapped a team this hard for ages, regardless of oppo team level.
Hats off to all players and staff for this!
 
Great result for confidence subs were baffling though. We could have had a couple of newbies on the bench and certainly at 4-0 brought them on. The one newbie Wheatley never got a look. Bruno probably could have needed the rest.
 
Nothing to take from the game as Barnsley really played into the underdog/shit team narrative.

Hopefully the players can take the positivity into the Palace game and put on a show against a better side.

TL DR
 
If only we could play League One teams every week.

Entertaining game, nice to see us score a load of goals for a change.
 
All of Redcafe (apart from users who have never criticised a player) in the mud.
 
Terrible opposition but we scored some cracking goals tonight. Good performance.
 
how do you win a match 7-0 and NOT get the kid Wheatley on the pitch
 
Garnacho impressive with 2G+2A today. Collyer looked solid and played the whole game. Bruno 2 assists in 15 minutes
 
Happy for all of the players…put on a show and it was a pleasure to watch them linking up.

If United can get a result at CP it will have been one of the best weeks in a very long time.

C’mon United!
 
I'm a bit of a stats buff and on the top of my head it's our biggest win of the season.
 
Absolutely loved that! Some lovely football played by ourselves this evening and GOALS at last!
 
Unfortunately couldn't see the match but 7-0 is an incredible result. Garnacho getting great numbers this season. Another 2 goals for Rashford will be great for his confidence. Going to watch highlights once they're available. Feeling better about the Palace game now.
