I know im just aggrieved I thought when they went down to 10 men and it took us ages to get the first goal that it was a good opportunity to get more.

Feck that's harsh!
With Shaw out again, who'd you have covering the full back positions? Blind and Rojo are terrible at LB
Well where to start on that match, the performance wasn't great, but there's something about West Ham at that stadium which is just so drab and uninteresting. Add that onto the fact we were playing again so soon after playing at Middlesbrough and it was always going to be a bit shite.
What matters is the three points and we fully deserved them. West Ham offered very little and Mata along with Rashford changed the match for us after Lingard wasn't offering much impetus. getting another clean sheet is encouraging and given that we're going into the Liverpool match with so much better form than the last time we met, I'm expecting and confident we will get a good result.

Draws now being turned into wins.
You could see Jose's joy/relief when the 2nd went in.
Onward and upward.

We just had to win. Couldn't care less about how we played this game, as long as we won! It was all about the result. Rashers changed the game. He was fantastic. Another Zlatan goal, and an abomination of a display from Mike Dean.
Not particularly. Why do you ask?
That's our 6th away win this season. Last season we won 7 away from home in the league all season and the year before that 6.
Not a classic. Our worst performance since Everton, given they had 10 men. Maybe our worst since the first few months of the season.
But in all honesty, Im pretty sure the main reason is playing 2 games in 3 days. Half our players looked out on their feet (theirs too, to be fair). Our last game took a lot out of us, having to hunt Middlesborough down til the last minute, and then the euphoria of the late goal.
All that matters is that we got the 3 points, and came through the Christmas programme with straight wins. Worth remembering too that at the beginning of December we were 9 points off the top 4, now we're 1 point off, albeit having played a game more. Can't do more than that.
Now we have Reading on Saturday at home and then Hull in the League Cup, also at home. Expect a lot of changes for those games. I'm pretty sure half of our key players will get a good long rest, which means we should be in good shape for the Liverpool game in a fortnight.

Those damned draws!
Not Jose's style though. He's quite attritional.
Having said that it was only a matter of centimetres that saved them from further goals
Mata is adorable isn't he?
Harsh, really? He's fecking poison. I should hope we will be bringing in someone far better than poxy Darmian. My heart absolutely sinks when I see his name on the team sheet.
Is that true: Fernandinho sent off for the 3rd time in 6 games … that's JUST possible! Is it a record?
Out of jail by inept officiating, however despite the circumstances we played poorly and won.
Yep, both him and Martial are starting to show some form again, looks promising for us. Though hard to see them as first team every week, with Miki also looking good. Add to that Mata fighting for his place, we are in a good position.
Just like the good ol' days … eh?
Not sure about at Premier League level but my local side once had a player who was sent off in 3 consecutive games. Such was the way suspensions work at that level, he hadn't even started the ban for the first red by the time he'd got his third.
We looked quite tired but that's understandable but I'm relieved we won.
Yup. We have some takented players for sure.
Excellent win. West Ham away is never an easy one.
Yes it didn't hit the heights of some of our recent displays, and yes, we got a couple of strokes of luck, but it's a second game in 3 days, and 6 league wins in a row!
Couple of cup games now, to rotate a little bit, and then a huge one against Liverpool, who are now only 5 points ahead.
A win would be immense.

Indeed it is! It's also possible he could get a 4th
Even on an off day, we have so much quality in the squad now that a few always seem to turn up and impact the game. This time it was DDG, Pogba, Rashford and Mata.
Although I thought Hererra was very good in the second half too.

Our best game this year
This could be a brilliant chance for Jose to use the squad, reading and hull in the cup games, now is the chance to get more minutes out of rashford and mata in the cup games upfront, get guys like herrera even Pogba rested maybe one of the 2, defiantly get carrick rested in ready for liverpool. Rotation will be key in getting us prepared for liverpool, this comes at a great chance to rest some of our key players
Just happy with the 3 points. Give me a scrappy win over a beautiful draw all day long.
5 off second after our start!
I'll take that all day long whatever the results of the Spurs or Arsenal games later

Who would you have dropped?
That felt almost like an LVG performance. Playing against 10 men is always difficult though as the opposition pretty much just park the bus, and that's hard to play against away from home especially. Obviously it was better than an LVG performance as we had 6 shots on target and a couple of decent just wide efforts, I think if we had this game during lvg second season we would be buzzing, that's a testament to how good we have been recently, that this performance a 2-0 away win in a difficult game is a bit disappointing, because we are more used to seeing fluid football. Good points: Result, Rashford, Mata, Mourinho substitutions, decisions going our way, ddg, clean sheet, away win, gap on second place closed.
They are fecking shit. Need Pogba to show why he's the best midfielder in the country.
very satisfying.
tired display. And I must disagree with the general belief that it was not a red. They deserved to be down to 10 and I love that their fans had a shitty Holliday.

Where do you play? Please be Hackney Marshes!Good win & good decision for the sending off, this 2 feet off the ground shit has to stop
Yeah horrible officiating by dean red that was not, yellows not given that should have been, Linesmen knew he blew that call the moment he made it.
Not great finishing from either side.
I'd like to be sympathetic towards them but feck West Ham.
Everyone was fudging knackered.
Just let it go! He's gone, the bad Dutchman will not hurt you again
Not reds then, OK point taken!
To think some people feared he'd be a negative manager!
Last game saw us playing 2 at the back and the rest of the team attacking like mad, and today again going for it.
Of course, once we got ahead it made sense to get Smalling back on.
Fellaini obviously?
