Wonder if they will talk about the stonewall penalty on Bentancur that the ref just ignored.
 
Not perfect, but so much better.

Chuffed for Johnson and Solanke particularly. Maddison and Bents were excellent. VDV continues to be the terminator.

Someone needs to get Vicario on the decaf though. He’s a fantastic keeper, but needs to stop trying to do stupid stuff and calm down.
Agree. Can’t fault Vic’s shot stopping. Just needs some serious coaching on set piece play (decision making) and distribution.
Maddison Man of the Match and a much better watch today.
 
Man Utd will have to show some aggression against us next week as the home side. And we're showing that we can exploit that space quite well when it's there. A good chance to really ignite the season next week.

I've criticised the manager and I don't think it's been beyond justification.. But I'm still desperate for him to be a success because when we do win and play well with this kind of football, it feels fucking incredible..

Nothing would make then happier than to in 6-7 months feel like an absolute prick for questioning him..

Completely agree, we all want Ange to be a success because it means we will be winning.
 
Happy For the win. But not betting that we'll win anything yet. Ange is stubborn as a mule. Had we played a Better team, I don't think wed've won. I disagree with Ange, we need a Good No 6. Bentancur/Bissouma can play the role against easier teams but fall short against 'The Top Teams'. We need to alternate between Inverted FBs and Using WBs depending on the team we play.

I Believe Conté or Jose with this team would have had us close to challenging for Trophies. We still miles off.
 
He was once Johnson went off, and that’s not my point, my point is have any of our wide forwards or cooler esky managed to find a man with a cross or a cut back lately regardless of what they’re starting position is.

That is 100% the next thing that needs to be improved.

Turned turnovers into great chances today which was a fcuking relief. Still fucked up a few but it was definitely better. Up next is getting low crosses and cut backs sorted.
 
Confident play today with a lot of variety when we were attacking. Brilliant to watch for the most part. A couple defensive mistakes luckily unpunished.
I was liking Solanke out there today but man of the match for me would be between Maddison and Kulusevski
 
Ironically we have had only 50% possession today and have put in one of our better performances of the season I think. Maybe, just maybe, this is a sign of Ange learning.

I don’t think Ange’s ethos is based on “possession” as a fundamental tenet, it’s more about aggression, intensity, and looking to play the incisive ball, and quickly, the problem is when teams sit deep and you have a bunch of bumblers as creatives and forwards you just end up with lots of possession because you keep winning back.
