Woooohooooooo
I am dancing. Worried might break something, like, my leg.
But don't careeeee, yippie Yaaay

 

[Elcabron]

Deserved win, crossing merchants aka Fulham deserved nothing there. Should have been 1:4 or something. Good win before break.

We actually had seven good chances, scored two of them. Martial x2 Eriksen missed one and scored one, mctominay missed one, elanga missed one early in second half and of course Garnachos goal.

Zero GD at this stage is a concern.

 

[Thom Merrilin]

Deserved the win. It wasn't the best team performance but with better finishing we win that by 2 or 3 goals easily.

We were missing three vital players as well which shouldn't be forgotten.

I'm not usually one to blame referees too much but that was some dreadful officiating that blatantly favored Fulham. Thankfully it didn't impact the result.

 

[Real Name]

Changed the channel at 91:24. Turned text and saw that sweet green number 2 for United. Turned the channel back, rewinded the goal, was chuffed.

 

[VidaRed]

Deserved win.

 

[Slevs]

Garnacho vs fulham
CR7 vs fulham...

Our new number 7

Same end of the pitch, same corner of the goal.

The almighty is screwing with us

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Garnacho wasn't even born when Fergie time went into effect but he understood the assignment.

 

[The Irish Connection]

Yyyyyeeeesss!

 

[.Phil1968]

What a lad, super goal but by christ we made hard work of that.

 

[Sandikan]

Got away with that a treat, having done the opposite and turned a comfortable on top performance into an actual equal battle!

That's a huge win, sees off another away game, and keeps us right in touching distance for top 4, and keeps a nice little margin over Pool and Chelsea.

Can forget about it for 6 weeks now, and not stew on it.

 

[Rustyspider13]

Got away with that one. We have to stop shifting Bruno out to the right. I don't care if he is the only one in the team bar Antony who can run up and down, I'd rather see Elanga disrupting attacks for the entire 90 mins than to dull the edge of one of our best attackers. It's not Bruno's position, stop playing him there.

But man, what a way to win a fecking football game. Proper Fergie time finish. Garnacho has that extra bit to be something special. Just keep your head down lad, you're going places.

EtH needs to schedule finishing training with the players who aren't going to the WC. This break can be a blessing for the likes of Martial.

Alright then, one month of stress free football to come.

 

[r3idy]

Tell you what was annoying, Shop Steward Neville the Cnut!!!

Labelling the lad as having a bad attitude already. Utter feckin helmet

[Dominos]

They arent a relegation candidate, its like you havent seen them play at all this year and you just like to have a wee moan yeah?

They're literally 17th in xPTS and 6 points off the relegation zone having overperformed, maybe you haven't seen them play? And were missing their best player today.

 

[Judas]

Last minute winners really are like crack. Celebrated like an idiot.

 

[NK86]

I was raging all game about it but my buddy pointed out it may be a tactic to combat the fatigue we have, use the pace up too and have less running around the team.
Kind of makes sense

I don't think fatigue is the factor. It seemed like a tactic where we were trying to exploit their high line.
We have seen this earlier too but we are not keeping the ball well enough. We need to improve that aspect if we take that next step.

 

[mitchmouse]

Don't care what the haters say, I thought lindelof had another very good game. Of course Martinez did and shaw was good in the first half. I do wish sky still had the tactic cam: I'd love to see what our midfield do off the ball because at times in the second half they seemed to do little with it.

No idea how garnacho got past the defenders for the winner from a standing start. Unreal acceleration. At first I thought the defender was at fault but it was like watching an episode of The Flash... and the touch and the finish were exquisite. Don't want to go overboard but I'm old enough to have watched a certain guy in his prime sometimes come off the wing and finish like that. I'm talking about George Best...

Garnacho changed the whole second half when he came on: pace, passion and a fantastic directness. Needs to start against whoever the hell it is on Boxing Day - and in the Nou Camp.

Some good saves from DDG but he will never be a top top keeper because he fails to dominate his area.. Good first halves from Eriksen and Bruno. Faded a bit in the second...

 

[r0663664]

What is finish to end the game. This game clearly shows what we need RB, ST, CB and RW. We cannot rely of Lindeloft or Martial and we cannot expect Dalot and Antony to be always available. 4-5 please in the summer and ship out dead woods.

 

[Niall]

A star is born!

 

[onemanarmy]

Delighted for Garnacho.

It's so frustrating how shit our general play is.

We had 47% possession against a relegation candidate. We brought in ball players in the summer like Martinez, Casemiro and Eriksen and we still can't keep the ball to save our lives.

They have been very good this season, playing excellent football.

 

[Jazz]

The kid is amazing feck me sideways. I still can't believe it! Great moment for the first PL goal from him.

His team mates had lost all their composure and were never gonna score another, so we needed this and it comes from an 18 year old in Fergie time...

 

[Scarlett Dracarys]

Garnacho and Cheese

 

[Basa1987]

Delighted for Garnacho.

It's so frustrating how shit our general play is.

We had 47% possession against a relegation candidate. We brought in ball players in the summer like Martinez, Casemiro and Eriksen and we still can't keep the ball to save our lives.

Fulham are in bloody 10th place and with a win would have been a point behind us. I swear, some of you lot...

 

[Andycoleno9]

We played pretty well but why we all of sudden stop playing around 60th minute, i don't know.
So pleased about late winner. Best feeling in football

 

[tomaldinho1]

Awesome end to this mini PL season. Deserved as well.

Still like Dan James, good kid.

 

[Jazz]

Young Giggsy

That's exactly who he reminds me of

 

[Dominos]

They were 4 points behind us going into the game. You can’t call them a relegation candidate unless you want to include us in that too.

They're 17th in xPTS. They'll be lower midtable at best.

 

[Shai-Hulud]

It was years since I celebrated a goal this hard

Same! That was awesome.

Such a good feeling to go into the WC period having pulled off the win too.

 

[Josh 76]

Can’t really judge Utd on this. They look shattered. But the victory was great!

 

[JagUTD]

Scenes from the Argentina "fans" in Qatar when their new hero scores that goal

 

[youngrell]

Delighted with the win and the way it was won, Garnacho looks to have it doesn’t he?

Second half was horrible though. So many square pegs, it was like a Sunday league team with players filling in all over the field.

 

[Boondog]

This was one of those games the great teams find a way to win. Fullham brought the house in their effort on every ball and played well. I honestly lost count at how many vertical passes failed to connect, so EtH almost lost himself a game with that strategy because during that difficult period of the game we fed them possession after possession by not connecting on those.

Immense goal for the team though, to get that one when we did. To cement a win first off, in a game where we were outplayed for much of it. And to go into the break with 3 points instead of an unsatisfying tie. Looking forward to after the break because I think this team is poised to make a real nice run for the top four. Might not get it but it's going to be fun I think.

 

[SoCross]

Should have been a comfortable win. What a finish though, so good.

Casemiro was also outstanding in the first half. Plus Palhinha has adapted to the league so well, thought he was a bit short of pace initially. One to keep an eye on for a future DM requirement.

 

[PoTMS]

Watching the post match reaction, what I would do to have a fit and firing Saha in our team right now.

 

[Steven7290]

Deserved win, crossing merchants aka Fulham deserved nothing there. Should have been 1:4 or something. Good win before break.

I thought they deserve the point the way the play the majority of the game.

 

[MrBest]

Fulham away is tough these days, they have only lost 2 in, 1 being us and the other Newcaatle. We have a long long way to go but these type of wins show something we have been missing for a while. As for Garnacho, has everything in the making to be a star, I love his arrogance.

 

[MUnchies]

Fulham are in bloody 10th place and with a win would have been a point behind us. I swear, some of you lot...

Add to that, they have only lost at home only once all season.

 

[Houdini]

Massive win. We needed the 3 points badly. Fulham deserved a point, Palhinha had our midfield in his pocket. Lindelof was outstanding, DDGOD and Eriksen with some key moments, Bruno inconsistent as feck, Garnacho > Rashford > Sancho. We need a striker badly and a RW and RB backups too.

 

[RuudTom83]

The Premier League is bloody tough...hard work but they never gave in.

Love It!

 

[Judas]

It's worrying how tired we look and the world cup hasn't even happened yet.
