Enjoyed that game. Amazing what bit of positivity and energy does to the team. The youngsters certainly brought the drive that has been lacking from the seniors.

Liked Amrabat as well, when fit he could certainly add balance that we have been crying out for. More of the same Sat please.

 

[Laurencio]

Now that was some good football. If we can play like that going forward, everything will be going the right way.

 

[Coops73]

Casemiro my MOTM but Amrabat gave me the horn.

Shout out to Maguire, Garnacho and Martial (never seen him run so much)

 

[Redplane]

I saw a team today. Lot of cheering for each other, the smiles etc are so good to see. Sports is a mental game first.

 

[RedIan]

What crisis. Amrabat is friggin awesome, looking forward to seeing him start every week.
casamiro raised his game and was superb. Dalot excellent first half.
Easy win, full control from start to finish,

 

[always_hoping]

Defending champion stroll into the 4th round, couldn't a have hoped for it to go much better tonight. Two wins and two clean sheets hopefully build on that now and go on a run starting with Palace again at the weekend.

 

[Gaidal]

Very good game, no one had a poor game.

A midfield that can run and we have an easy win, Amrabat, Mount, Bruno, Mainoo, Hannibal, Gore (and Case now that he has warmed up) should all be ahead of Mctominay and Eriksen.

I liked that Amrabat was the deepest midfielder, he is much better than Case at pickup up the ball from the defence and controlling play. It also means case can push forwards as an 8 and do what he does best these days (score and assist).

 

[Roboc7]

Couldn’t have gone better, rested key players, playing time for those coming back from injury and more playing time for some of the younger players.

I think Palace will be very different proposition in the next game but manner of win and performance is huge boost.

 

[Alemar]

Good game. Dominant, easy. Casemiro MotM surely, Gore senior debut, 3 goals scored, clean sheet

 

[Revan]

Palace are shit but this was a genuinely good performance.

Play the kids, all of them are ballers.

 

[Yorkeontop]

Nice to have a breather from all the "crisis" talk.

 

[CloneMC16]

I can't believe I could relax during a United game. It felt good.

 

[bstb3]

Nice that. Amazing what some controlled possession can do in the middle of the park.

 

[redom]

Everyone did their job, things became a little disjointed with all the subs at one point but it soon settled down and it was about as comfortable as you could want. Glad to see Amrabat get his first start and impress plus the youngsters did themselves no harm with the shift they put in.

 

[GreatDane]

Not to shit on players not in the first 11 for todays game, but it was a breath of fresh air to see us playing like a team and pressing for a change.

 

[Ubik]

Couldn't have asked for much better to get us back into something like form. Don't expect a repeat at the weekend but great for getting Casemiro further into form, Amrabat and Mount with good showings, Gore looked good when he came on too.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

That was a very dominant performance, glad I watched the game today. We were extremely tenacious, and our movement was great both on and off the ball. Good games from most of the starting XI, you can see that there's something about Mount. You don't get his spatial awareness, energy and technique together in one package very often, it's up to EtH to use it well.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Fantastic display from top to bottom. Casemiro was outstanding but everyone played that part, followed the plan and worked for each other. No sulking heads, no shirking challenges. Just a great watch all around. Saturday will be much more difficult but we couldn't ask for a better preparation. Well done United!

 

[Jazz]

Really good performance. Lovely goals! A midfield that works!

Loved it!

 

[Yanited__]

What a win and nice performance. We needed that badly. Clean sheet as well. Definitely the best we've played this season although Palace were awful, deciding to sit back the whole game.

Now we have to follow up with the same performance and same result at the weekend. There's no excuses. We saw what this team can do.

Ten Hag has got to be drilling it into these players for the team talk on Saturday. No complacency, play these lot off the park like you did today. Although I have maintained it's going to be an up and down season, if we go ahead and drop points this weekend, it's one step forward two steps back

 

[11101]

Good, controlled game. Notable how certain players were missing from it.

 

[Bobski]

Incredibly easy night with plenty of promising stuff. Midfield with Cas unrounding into form, Amrabat looking a natural and the kids showing bits is starting to look less of an issue. Mount was very good tonight as well, but as expected he looked far better further up which causes Bruno issues.

Palace were so, so bad, played with the intensity and commitment of a testimonial.

 

[BorisManUtd]

Good win and good performances from most of the players. Another game against same opponent in 4 days and that should be much tougher task for us.

 

[NotQuiteManc]

A successful rotation? What is this sorcery?

I enjoyed some of the runs that some of the players made, like Gore and Pellistri. Palace was terrible, but United deserves an easy game or two after recent results. This should be a good boost to the morale especially to the young and squad players, and a good rest for the key players.

 

[youngrell]

Nice little performance, pretty much a positive from every single player involved. Hard to tell how good we were though as Palace really were awful.

Casemiro finally up and running for the season.

 

[bosnian_red]

Heavy rotation and ridiculously dominant 3-0, good to see. Amrabat will be huge for us to give Casemiro a new lease of life (not that I was overly concerned about him).

Nice that we don't rely on Rashford that much anymore, can swap him with Garnacho and still have that threat in behind.

 

[JediSith]

Finally we played like a team.
Huge positives:
Casemiro back. Mount looking. Amrabat class.

Manager going to have tough choices to make come Saturday. Let’s hope he makes the right call.

 

[OldSchoolManc]

Casemiro imperious, back to his best. Amrabat buzzing around everywhere playing left back AND midfield, Mount with his best game, Dalot great, Garnacho really good.
Different team when there’s no passengers (Rashford take note), even Martial put a shift in.
Also good to give Bruno a rest and to prove we can play without him.

 

[Gordon S]

We played well but their hearts were not in it, i dare say that we will see a different Palace next time.

Nice to see what Casemiro can do when he has space and time to do what he wants in there, some nice smart passing.

Amrabat looks promising, he will need some games to fully adapt but looks like a really important addition so far.

Hannibal, Mount, Pellistri, Garnacho all added some nice energy and movement. Hopefully they will keep getting chances.

 

[Jazz]

I saw a team today. Lot of cheering for each other, the smiles etc are so good to see. Sports is a mental game first.

This! Surprising how much this is taken for granted.

 

[Rightnr]

Great result, good performance but the opposition was really there for the taking and it felt like a pre-season game.

Need to keep the momentum on Saturday.

 

[Ekeke]

A change up and the team tried to keep the ball and was successful at it without laying a hand on Palace, then we got through with Garnacho's goal after 21 mins and never looked back. Even scored from a set piece 6 mins later and were always comfortable from that point on.

 

[RuudTom83]

The whole team had a great energy tonight...lots of young legs around Casemiro helped.

Lovely 90 mins to watch.

Even those fans than get hung up on possession stat and the lack of identity brigade should be happy.

 

[Ollie Derbyshire]

First game I’ve enjoyed watching and felt comfortable from the start. Amrabat looked very good and he should give Case a lot more legs in midfield. Mount did fine, some good distribution and Martial scored. Lovely,

 

[Overhaul FC]

Much better than this season of seeing Bruno, Rashford, McTominay and Shaw moping around the pitch as if they have something better to do.

A mobile midfield and attack worked well and the egos were in check. Very simple pass and move football. Ten Hag will have liked that the defence and midfield were in charge of the ball all game. Circulating the ball around as and when we chose to do so.

Hopefully these players that have got us the last two or 3 performances keep getting minutes. Hannibal, Pellestri and Garnacho brought something needed. Mobility, pace and energy.

Amrabat, Mount and Martial coming back is awesome.

Hopefully Bruno and Rashford can take a seat more often where they can see the world or the team doesn't have to revolve around them.

 

[DatIrishFella]

People need to stop saying "Palace are shit" ...... have ye not seen us recently!

 

[pablo__p]

Martial running (!) and scoring

Onana saving actual shots

Midfielders passing the ball (and not hiding)

Amrabat looked great. More 1st half passes then McT this season

Dalot excellent, especially 1st half

Mount very bright and assisted

Casemiro scoring and assisting

A goal from corner(!)

Hannibal probably slightly disconsolate he didn't get his red card but if you don't succeed at first, try, try and try again. On a serious note though, he was good.

Gore senior debut and looked good.

Lindelof almost broke their gk's wrist with a rocket outside of the box.

 

[Plant0x84]

Same again on Saturday please!

 

[RedOrange]

People need to stop saying "Palace are shit" ...... have ye not seen us recently!

Expect to see that stated after every match we win this year. If the tactics are working, we're going to see the team steal the ball away a lot in the attacking half of the pitch, so it's going to look more like the opponent having a shite match than us looking good.

 

[Blood Mage]

Amrabat is the missing piece. We lost control when he came off and Palace actually created some chances.
