%@#$&!s. Bournemouth were useless.

They were right to be fair, he looked unShaw a lot of the time when Bournemouth were in possession. You can see there’s no trust there.

He instinctively goes inside to cover when slab and Linda play, leaving his lw position open. Shame, because he’s looking top drawer otherwise.

Solution: play Varane/Licho. As soon as the latter came on, the ball came out from the back much quicker. Straight into the forward positions instead of muddling in mf.

Martial really needs £#%&!ing off. Immediate improvement there when he went off.

Coming together.

Martial has 60 minutes in him tops. Either his attention span or fitness. As well as missing chances he just falls apart in the fundamentals of football

It was basically United under Solskjaer deja vu. Fly by the seat of our pants stuff.

Very disappointed.

should’ve brought Ole + Sherri on earlier

Sparkles in the NouCamp ‘99.

ETH got us to change the once and directness. So much better without Donny and Martial neither of whom contributed.

Bruno was terrific second half all over the park. Shaw motm.

Should have been 5- 0.

It was Viva Garnacho.

At our place? Maybe not so much.

Job done and yet another clean sheet and 3 points. A World Cup winner and a finalist on the bench. Level on points with Newcastle with a game in hand, 5 ahead of Spurs, 7 ahead of the vermin. Gained ground this week on all of the £#%&!ers. Happy days.

It's obvious that we need to buy/loan a goal scorer - we create so many chances that are wasted.

I thought Shaw, Casemiro and DDG were excellent, and Bruno in the second half. Rashford has scored in three consecutive league games for only the second time, I think. There's a lot to like at the moment. ETH has turned things around quicker than I expected.

Aren't they jemmers second team?

Garnacho is not only better than Antony. He's better on the RW than Antony as well.


Let the blonde play with his lambo while the real men get to playing football.

The op

Here is an unsung hero from tonight`s game. I thought Linderlof was outstanding, I never thought I would ever get the opportunity to say that but he worked well with Shaw on the left, won a lot of headers and tracked his man extremely well putting lots of blocks in.

in what world does this make any sense? I couldn't give less of a £#%&! about bournemouth. or any team not called manchester united.

as it is, I have to put up with the m-i-l's companion bleating about a 1957 cup game every £#%&!ing time I see him. £#%&! bournemouth.

"What the £#%&! is Van de Bench doing there - is he lost?".

not sure why sparky is getting pelters, he's right to a point - defensively we were lazy and lacked concentration. seems the manager agreed as well. dave made 3 or 4 decent saves by my count...?


but it was a game where we barely got out of 2nd gear and won 3-0 with a lot of 2nd string players. everyone playing with confidence. happy days.
