Swansea City 1:3 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Sun, 06 November 2016

Eh. Adequate performance against a very bad side.
 
Good stuff! Having missed the City match it's been so long since I saw us win :lol:
 
Not that pleased. Great chance to make up our goal difference, but we never really tried after the first half.
 
Injected some much needed confidence to the team. Pogba was ace today, all action performance.
 
Swansea are awful but we did what we had to do. Better from Ibrahimovic and Rooney.
 
Needed the win, that is for sure. I wasn't really all that impressed with us to be honest. Swansea didn't even try in the first half. Then, in the second when they did, we looked as fragile as ever. Really fearing a beating against Arsenal. #7thplaceside
 
Rui Faria for manager?

But seriously, Swansea was probably the worst team we've played all year, and we still couldn't get a clean sheet.

Pogba's goal was nice.
 
Happy for the win, but just for once I wish we would put one of these gimp-ass teams to the sword and run up like 5 or 6 goals, evenly distributed over the whole game. It's so annoying seeing us take the foot off, and particularly infuriating seeing us lose the clean sheet. Still, a win is a win.
 
Pogba again looking like a good player when he's actually played in his position. Not rocket science really. Infuriating how often we seem to find ways of avoiding doing things like this.

Pathetic second half display.

Not entirely pleased. Average win against a poor side and a second half that did nothing to convince anyone our plyers are made of the right stuff.

Good to see Jones actually last 90 miutes without head butting someone and getting injured though.
 
Mourinho's negativity when we're leading is frustrating. We should be looking to slaughter teams.
 
Really poor swansea side especially in the first half. However, we were clinical in front of goal today. Talk about extremes. Two brilliant strikes from range by Pogba and Ibra. A shame that Ibra will be out of the arse match after rediscovering his goal scoring touch.

Good to see Jones back. He looked solid and maybe tired a bit towards the end but he is an upgrade to Blind/Rojo.

A patchwork first eleven but we came out with the 3 points most importantly. Onwards and upwards.
 
Needed 3 points. Nice to see a few goals from Ibra and a worldly from Pogba.

Consistency has been our failing this season; if we can build on this performance, fantastic, although whether that'll actually happen remains to be seen.
 
Much needed win.

We beat a poor side. Great goals but nothing can be looked into how good we are from that.

I thought the mentality of the players was poor in that second half. Evey bit looked like a team that treat football as a job and nothing more than that.

Pogba and Carrick were great. Rooney was better than usual. Good goals Zlatan. Used his strength well.
 
Called the score right earlier. Swansea were much 1st half so difficult to judge. Jones looked OK seeing as its first time out. Rojo dropped the inevitable couple of bollocks. Pogba bossed it. Even Rooney looked OK.
 
Second half was as shite as Swansea were in the first. Attitude of the squad/manager still an issue, far too willing to take the foot off the gas to their detriment.
That actually is Jose all over. He'd have done the same if it was home
 
Better but we still need to improve a lot if we want to beat better teams.

Rooney was good, Pogba excellent and Ibra had a really good game.

Next week will be the ultimate test, Ibra is suspended and I hope we won't play Rooney as a striker.
 
Really good first half, then took our foot off.

Could have done with Ibra not getting the suspension, but he was never going to last until end of Dec or whenever it is without getting one!
At least Pogba isn't out at the same time
 
Good win, Pogba and Zlatan finally score, Swansea terrible, Fellaini pointless. That's about it.
 
3 points.

Plus, Jose might want to keep pissing us off with the line up as it seems to do the trick:D
 
It's like no matter how good we can play at times, we are just drawn back to shit on a stick.
 
Trebled the amount of league goals we got in October

A win

Good goals

2nd half wasn't great

Silly booking for Zlatan

Annoyed we didn't get clean sheet

Jones had a decent return to the side after many months of injury

A win
 
Just happy with that. Really liked our patient approach in the first half. Yes, Swansea are dreadful, but we did well.
 
Lucky Pogba didn't see a yellow, he should have been taken off far earlier. Ibrah will be a big loss as it is.

If we were going to be happy to go out and do nothing but sit on the lead the second half, why not take them both off?

It's a shame because a nice big win against a shite Swansea side could have given everyone a big boost.
 
When we have had a difficulty in scoring goals, it is hard to understand the second half set up and performance.

Overall, a controlled game without too much to shout out about, but less to moan about.

Much needed points.
 
Obviously I'm happy with the win. But GD is always important as we can attest from last season. So it's more than a fair criticism to say we should be looking to build on our leads, not sitting back.
