Zlatan with a Ronaldo-esque hattrick tonight 
The moaners are back. Striker scores 3 goals. Ppl call him poor. Ladies and gentlemen, the caf.
That is indeed ridiculous. The man scores a hat-trick and people are still complaining. It's fecking laughable
Haven't you heard ? Judging football is now a bit like Olympic figure skating.
MotM. Incredibly though, there's still scope for improvement on his hold up play
Deary me your tune has changed.
During his goal drought you said goals don't matter. Now he's scoring they're all that matters.
I wish all our players were as shit as Zlatan.
The guy is going to get 30 goals this season and people want him out of the team so Martial or Rashford can lead the line.
Just laughable really

Correct! If a "poacher" would score three in a game they would get a 10 rating.
I love him.
He's an enigma. plays like a drunkard but gets a hat-trick.

Its all relative. We are winning and Zlatan is scoring.
No one is complaining about the goals. No hard admitting he was rubbish apart from the goals but goals are what matter and as long as he's scoring, we can't complain. You still get the feeling though that we could really step up a level with a striker who helps us be more fluid in attack.
How many has he scored now?
23 after today
23 goals and 7 assists in 35 starts, that is quite the return.
Is he on 20 already?
I'm so glad we got him. Best free transfer ever.
Edit: 23, wowza.

He makes the difference, we don't have many players who you can consistently rely on to do so.
I predicted 30 so he's well on pace.
2 more goals from him and he's a success here no matter how the season end up.
Feck it, he already is signing of the season!

#23 for the season, complain all you want but there's a real likelihood of him reaching perhaps 40 figure mark for us given how many games there are still left to play.
One of the worst hat-tricks ever but it wins the tie so he's done his job.
He does help the fluidity in attack though, his movement, his touches and his flicks are what brings the people around him into play.
I fear this won't be seen until he leaves us.
To be fair he was poor, and two of his goals were complete flukes and the last one a peno he quite blatantly dived for. He was contributing nothing up until after his second goal, thought he started to get going a bit after that.
I'm his biggest fan boy but that's just the truth of the evening.
Seriously though, is he actually the best free transfer ever? I'm struggling to think of others? I guess Lewa went on a free too, so maybe 2nd best?
Was better in the 2nd half I thought. Should be rested on the weekend.
His production has been incredible.

He was pretty shite tonight, those dives were a disgrace, still love him though.
Player and football institution in one. Won a freekick by himself and opened the game not to mention killed everything before 2nd leg.
I think the likes of Martial and Mkhi behind any decent striker would be fluid. I do feel Zlatan's all round play and lack of pace won't let us be PL challengers.
Watch out. Here come 'he was rubbish aside from the goals' posts!
This is one of the most underwhelming hat-tricks I've seen! One deflection, one tap-in and one penalty. But it doesn't matter how the ball goes into the back of the net. Now rest him for the next 2 games and play him in the EFL final.
Pogba to juve.... :s
Very ironic coming from you considering how you've defended Rooney to the hilt in the past when he was routinely slated for having a rubbish game even after scoring goals.
Ibra didn't have the best of games tonight but still did enough to put tie out of St. Etienne's reach, I see no reason why people are having a moan.
Signing of the season? On a free and on his way to 30 goals. What a man.
It feckin is though. Aesthetics is now more important than scoring or assisting. Assisting seems like a more highly valued skill than scoring, and creating sweet chances in and around the box is more important than either, because then you're a genius.
No big surprise that some people are downplaying his hat-trick
Not his finest game but still had some good contributions outside of his goalscoring. Chuffed to have him at United

Goals win games.
Zlatan is far from the issue with this team.

That's a lie though since he also created at least a couple of chances and got us some dangerous free kicks.
I love how you can defend Rooney for ages but now we need to replace Zlatan to be more fluid. That kind of delusion is really something else. And you obviously don't even realise it.
