That gets better every time, the touch & quick feet, then a rocket from the weaker peg - it’s rare. NQAT.

Makes tonight's victory all the more heroic IMO. City probably would've tried to get the game called off in our shoes.

Amazing that we’re top of the league with this Mike Bassett/2002 ROI set up.

Martial and Shaw's chemistry was non-existent on the left, whenever Martial would show for Shaw to overlap he wouldn't and whenever Shaw tried to find Martial he was nowhere to be found

i'm not sure why Cavani got MOTM but he made some good runs off the ball, i just wish we would find him more often. AWB had a really easy chance in the 2nd half to slip him in behind and hesitated like everyone else in the team, which i don't understand. If you're going to play Cavani as the main striker you need to provide him with balls to run onto and crosses to meet in the box ffs!

Fred i though played well, especially defending, he was biting into tackles and generally applying pressure well allover midfield.

Bailly and Maguire were solid as £#%&! too, very commanding performance from both

Onwards and upwards!!!!!!!

Genuinely no idea why some folk bother following united tbh.

Great win. Love Cavani. He needs to be starting every Premier League game imo, just the sort of spearhead to the frontline we've been missing. Questioned the signing, but so pleased we've got him for two years. Pogba's goal Fred getting stuck in at the end, like a Jack Russel in a rabbit cage

Making of a great United team, this...

Been impressed with Fulham lately so thought it would be a tight game. Aside from last 10, it was easy enough.

Can't even look at Martial any more. Cavani had more tackles in that game than Martial has had in 1.5 seasons.

was there a hour special on fred not getting penalty ?or was it overlooked cos he wasnt playing for fulham

very good result last night. we came from behind to grind a win out. the kind of result that really puts you in the mix.

pogba and shaw have been superb of late.

At ths point its an attempted WUM. No point in even responding

Watched the game back again, revise my initial reaction although I don’t think he was MOTM, Cavani was £#%&!ing excellent!!!

The way he runs around and constantly puts defenders under pressure, then always finds a way to be open to receive the ball when we turn it over, top class he is! He got himself into some great positions the few times we counter attacked i just wish we could find him more often, balls over the top and through the defence are always on for him and we have the players to find, hopefully they sort that in training soon.

Cavani has to start more often than not as our no.9 and the rest can fight for the 2nd striker position, personally I would still play Martial just behind him or on the left as I think he’s the best of the rest

And how much attention did city's goal that shouldn't have been get, especially compared to what it would have been with us in that situation?
