    The Kit simply looks like someone put a stray red shirt in our white kit washing. It's grim.

    Pffffft!
    It's nice, and we won every game we played in it, so just be glad it exists! :)
     
    Watford look so assured when they have possession. I'll be happy with any old win here.
     
    We don't have width and they're tight at the central. Result is a terrible boring match to watch.

    Can't wait to see the end of Young and Valencia.
     
    This is the 3rd match I have treated myself to watching today, and as usual our's is the worst to watch in terms of excitement and quality of football
     
    Wow Sanchez with an actual dribble.. on the RW. Play him there ffs and stick Martial on the left.
     
    Sanchez should have given Lukaku a tap in there
     
    Watch the Gif that was posted of the chance but this time without your blinkers on. So far Smalling has won every aerial challenge he's gone for but you choose to berate him for the one which he couldn't even realistically get his head on based on the height of the ball when it got to the player on the receiving end

    He can't win every ball. Watford's entire game is about hitting Deeneys chest, and Deeney is very good at playing that hold up role. Literally earns his wage doing it.

    The ball has travelled 40 yards in the air and HIS man is controlling it on his chest. Say no more.
     
    We have an excellent habit of taking the corners that set the opposition for a counter.
     
    Watford are actually the assertive team here. Why is there so little space between our centre backs and the centre midfield with a massive gap to Lukaku? So easy to lose possession like this.

    Watford back on the front foot after that burst of brilliance from Sanchez. Long balls to Lukaku are being effective so letting Watford come forward more may prove beneficial to us (if we can defend well of course).

    Yellow card for Watford

    Capoue cuts down Lingard as United break away over the half-way. His fourth booking of the season already.
    Barring a few moments, it's as though all of our forwards are more comfortable trying to rack up assists by crossing or passing to Lukaku than trying to score themselves. Lukaku can't do it by himself, we need goalscoring wingers and midfielders.

    He's our best CB so far by far. Interceptions, blocks, aerial duels. Its all Smalling. As I typed that he just stopped another Watford attack in its tracks
     
    Man Utd Goal - Romelu Lukaku (34')
    Can we just stop with the counter attacking already? It’s not working, we’re not fast enough.
    Just try to actually build up from now on...

    Goal for Manchester United

    Romelu Lukaku
    Yes! The ball is scrambled in by Lukaku from a Young cross. A bit scrappy but we'll take it!

    Watford want a free-kick for handball but Mike Dean is having none of it and he's dead right, the big striker bundled it in with his six-pack!

    About time we started thinking about dropping Sanchez. Luke Shaw might be a better LW than he is at the moment.
    Sanchez sanchez sanchez... he is at least always going direct. That is what i want from forward. Our problem in attack is that we have lingard, attacker who just passes the ball to first player.
    But i respect him for that. He is clever guy. If you don't try, you can't feck up. If you don't feck up, coach will play you again and again and again....
     
    one of the flukiest goals ever scored, but i'll take it

    edit - actually it wasn't a fluke, he purposely guided it with his belly. it was just awkward lol
     
    Wow Sanchez with an actual dribble.. on the RW. Play him there ffs and stick Martial on the left.

    Come on now, adding actual width, addressing our key weaknesses, and playing our best players in their best positions? Don’t be daft.
