Good performance, decent attacking football.

Can’t really think of anything negative other than not taking our chances. Never a red for me, fully expect it to be appealed successfully

No wonder our fans get called delusional.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Think today there was some of that old siege mentality from everyone involved, including the fans, which can only be a good thing.

Can't see that happening, bearing in mind Richarlison did similar recently, albeit with more of a neck twitch.
Bardsley did similar back straight after though, as well as the kick out, so he's done very well to stay on. I suspect the ref missed the kick out.

 

[kouroux]

That's not how we should be playing football, we used to have Carrick in that role and now we have a huge lump who can barely pass it five yards sideways, we basically have Fellaini in the role Jorginho is playing for Chelsea, it's ludicrous.

It's not Fellaini's fault. He is one of the rare players in our team we can count on to try and be at his (limited) best in most matches. You can never criticize a player for that

 

[elmo]

Didn't watch the game, but from reading on here looks like Fellaini did really well.

Only Lukaku, Shaw and maybe Sanchez played better than him.

 

[VeevaVee]

Overall good performance. Some unintelligent stuff but did the job. Shaw standing out for me. He's the spark and I think it helped Alexis.

 

[elmo]

Yeah, if Pogba puts in half the effort that Fellaini does in his game, he'll be the best midfielder in the world right now.

Fellaini for all his failings, never lets the team down when it comes to effort. It's the rest of his game that just doesn't meet the standards that we should be having.

 

[Catt]

@Devil may care. Look, I get that you don't care but why go from thread to thread with that negativity? People get tired of it.

 

[LordSpud]

Our inconsistency is so damn frustrating!!!

Exactly. If I'm pissed off it's at Mourinho for giving him so much importance but very rarely at Fellaini

@Devil may care. Look, I get that you don't care but why go from thread to thread with that negativity? People get tired of it.

He’s just trying to get some attention. Ignore the sad souls that can still moan about that performance.

 

[Irrational.]

Hopefully this result kickstarts our season. We looked sharp, as much as Burnley were shit.

Watford showed us how its done, but hopefully we can show Spurs how its done next game.

Happy to see the fans backing Jose as well.

I'm fed up of refs screwing us over - seems to happen every game.

Also ex-United players who clearly have a chip on their shoulder just playing like pricks. The Phil Bardsley's and Danny Simpson's of this world usually play like arseholes against us, whilst retreating into their shit shells against the rest of the teams.

Agree.

Players like Pogba and Martial seem to put about 50% of their efforts in the game even when they can and should put more and they would be class. I love and respect Fellaini. He's the perfect United mentality. Got booed and hated by fans but always gave his 100% which is actually quite good when used properly.

You are just something else. Instead of enjoying the win after a solid performance and letting everyone else do it as well, you go from thread to thread spouting absolute BS. Are you OK?

 

[jem]

Whatever, I don't care about the Caf's childish labels. Mourinho is the bus from Speed, no matter how long you drive in circles in the end it will drop below 60 and blow up, all these nothing results over shite sides do is give the delusional the idea that somehow it's going to turn around and the bomb will be defused, it wont be, how anyone could enjoy that football today is beyond me, it was crap against a team that might as well start thinking about the championship, nothing more than functional dreck.

The kind of results that we too often failed to get last year; the kind that, had we taken them, gotten us much closer to City (think West Brom, Newcastle, Brighton, Huddersfield.)

 

[Vidyoyo]

Out of interest, why do the laws that be deem headbutts worse than kick outs? Both seem as bad as each other to me...

 

[Treble]

Didn't expect such an easy win. Well done, very solid performance.

 

[Devil may care]

@Devil may care. Look, I get that you don't care but why go from thread to thread with that negativity? People get tired of it.

I posted in this thread, the Mourinho thread and the Luke Shaw thread, if people didn't reply to me I wouldn't reply back, I'm just giving my view, no one responds then I wont repeat it.

 

[Tango80]

Pogba still not doing enough, but everyone else really good improvement. Especially from the back 4. They deserved their clean sheet.

Ref had a stinker.

Yep - I was more please with the defence than anything. For all the stick they get about not being good enough - they clearly are. Just lacking in confidence a little.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Jose: "I didn't see the plane. Ed Woodward won 2-0."

 

[Devil may care]

You are just something else. Instead of enjoying the win after a solid performance and letting everyone else do it as well, you go from thread to thread spouting absolute BS. Are you OK?

As long as Mourinho is manager there's nothing to enjoy, it's all the same under him, I don't know how people can't see that, getting giddy because we beat a relegation side instead of having an honest opinion, I don't get that.

 

[joleb]

1. Lukaku wasted at least 2 clear and easy chances
2. The team is playing well, structured and disciplined.
3. The only player whom i feel isnt giving his 100% is Pogba. I think his head is somewhere else.
4. Fellaini's role was very important and he deserves some recognition.
5. Ref did a couple of mistakes.
6. We lost Rash for the next 3 games, so i guess Martial will have a chance.

 

[ash_86]

Missed the match today. Looks like we've played quite well. Happy with that!!

 

[MUFAN79]

We will be back on track once we pull off about 3 or 4 of these. This was a "we need to win to take the pressure of Jose and the squad" performance.

Yep Raoul, you're right about that. Hopefully this win will kick start us now.

 

[haram]

That's not how we should be playing football, we used to have Carrick in that role and now we have a huge lump who can barely pass it five yards sideways, we basically have Fellaini in the role Jorginho is playing for Chelsea, it's ludicrous.

It was one game. Your constant moaning is what's ludicrous. Fellaini had specific instructions and played a very good game yet you’re still crying.

One of those mistakes cost Lukaku one of those chances.

 

[Rake]

It was like a SAF game. Burnley came out like the match was already lost. They didn't press us and gave us enough time on the ball. I reckon we won't see more than 3-4 such games until the end of the season.

Still, it was a decent professional performance.

 

[Leftback99]

Back to basics as was required, a solid base with Fellaini and Matic protecting the back 4 instead of the likes of Pogba and Fred going awol.

Burnley are poor and could very easily go down this season. Like us last season their points total was better than performances deserved.

 

[CM]

I think it was a good fixture to have following the Spurs match. Burnley haven't been very good at all this season, as shown by the fact we should've scored 3 or 4 today despite the missed penalty and red card.

I think the Watford game will give a much better indication of where we're really at.

 

[dove]

Yeah that's the problem. People like you just hate the manager and doesn't matter how we play, win or lose you will bash the team anyway. I don't see anyone getting "giddy" here btw. Just people who can see with open eyes as it was a solid away win, should have scored 3 more goals if anything. You are the only here who seems to have watched a different game, or not watched it at all.

 

[one340]

3 points. Clean sheet. Dumbass ref. I'll take it.

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

Pogba never had a pre season. Remember that before you jump on him for looking off pace

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

I hope we keep up this level of attacking play. Spurs first half was the start

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

Mourihnos red army!

 

[beergod]

Good result.

Rashford is going to get kicked for months now that he shown you can get a reaction out of him.

They will stabilize now that they are out of Europe. their tiny squad was really dying under its weight

Playing the way a United team should never play.

Hopefully he will now know not to react. Let the kicker get their punishment.

 

[Kostur]

He's done that fecking thing with Fellaini since he's gotten here, just put him on ignore, nothing missed anyway, terrible content 99% of the time.

 

[Gasolin]

A team plays 2 lines of 4 and a third line in defense and you think there’s more to get? The only thing more to get was for the goals on the chances and that’s it. It’s those points we needed last year and we will need to go and grab them too. I want Jose to succeed now, the craziness has gone to far. We didn’t like him when he was at Chelsea but right now, we need him and the team to go get the points. Every single one of them.
