I don't think we learned much we don't already know, but we have to enjoy days like this with an inconsistent team.

This team has responded well to most setbacks this season.

Get Fernandes in and that would be a massive boost. Beat Wolves and things will be looking a lot rosier.

We were playing the bottom team, nothing to shout about yet.

First Bellers, now you.

There's no 'shouting' about anything. I even say how we've learned nothing and we need to enjoy it BECAUSE we're so inconsistent.

I'm talking about signing a quality player and having two wins on the spin would be a boost compared to how we all felt after city the other night.

Jesus.

I just know they will let us down again next game.

Some miserable £#%&!ers on here. Ok Norwich are a load of shit, but it’s an easy win with some nice football, loads of young players on the pitch and among the goals - nope, can’t just give credit where it’s due. I don’t know why you bother.

Probably. All the more reasons to acknowledge and enjoy better days. Even in isolation.

Said months ago that ‘replacing’ Lukaku’s goals was never going to be a problem with that forward line, it was the goals from other areas of the pitch that would be an issue, especially with no Pogba.

Thought James might help chip in after the start he had, but looks like that was a bit of an anomaly.

A goal-scoring midfielder is an absolute must if we’re serious about winning anything, and would be nice if we could come up with a way of our centre-backs threatening the goal once in a while too.

Since 1st Dec: notable draws with Leicester, Arsenal and Spurs. Only lost by one goal to the other sides and failed to score only once.

Shite but not leaking goals on a regular basis.

they are too busy threatening our goal

Getting humiliated by city may be the watershed...

Pretty much all of the second half....

same people slagging matic every week.

when we have a couple of better defensive midfielders, I'll let you know.

There’s a definite correlation with the ones who slate Matic the most being the most ardent Jose dislikers.

Read on the BBC that there was some anti Glazer chanting from the stands. Long overdue.

Credit it where it's due, I think Matic has done well recently considering he was completely out of favour and wasnt even getting on the bench.

He's come in when needed and done a good job.

Good pro.

Probably needed the rest. We absolutely flogged him.

Agree.

He’s brought a little calm to the midfield and has shown he’s still got a bit to offer the squad.
