Man Utd (A) 05/12 - Match Thread

Yeoldhammer

We should be 3-0 up with all these chances.

The counter attacking is reminiscent of Leicesters

I don’t think 1 is going to be enough. United keep winning away after being behind.

Did I miss something?!

Easy to focus on the chances we've missed and be frustrated with that, but at the same time we've been so much better than them. Better in every department.

Great performance so far.

alderz

United will bring Fernandes on, and they can’t be as bad as that in the second half, but we’ve been great. And we’ve shown all season that we can dig in and defend, so fingers crossed!

No!

Although wouldn't be total surprise if Man United have been awarded and scored a penalty during half-time.

Hamstew

What a performance. We need to get some more. Man U will get their usual penalty at some point.

Pengeman

Should be 4-0 up (Haller, Fornals, Bowen missed) and hope that we don't relax and let MAN U in. How long before Benrahama come son?

IronHerb

Good first half. United will improve in the second but they need to and by a decent amount. Bowen was pretty unplayable and Balbuena, on two occasions, found himself breaking into their half.
More of the same.

Evra in the studio.

Refers to ' our defence' meaning Man Utd.

:-(

MrsGrey

Was that Greeno?? I went to the loo and it came back into the room to hear someone saying West Ham players are sacrificing themselves...

jay_in_cpt

Haller slip and Fornals wasteful... that the only downside of a very good 1st half... COYI ⚒

steve

So far so good .......still hate Grealish

IronHerb

Bit harsh on Fornals. I agree it looked like he could have done better with the header but when he hit the post the only way to get the ball forward was between the defenders legs and if it went through his legs the only place the ball could go was against the post. He also links well with Bowen.

ScotHammer

Man U haven’t been good, but I think we have stopped them playing. We should be further ahead, and may regret it. Same West Ham performance in 2nd half please!

thornburyiron

I just fear we will go into our shells second half and try to hold on which I don’t think we can do because they can’t possibly play that badly again especially with Fernandes and Rashford on.

My bad, my very bad

BubblesNeverDies

I'm 100% sure that if Haller hadn't slipped he would have been given off-side (I say hopefully).

Yeoldhammer

Bruno and Marcus on for Cavani and VDB. Looks like Ole knows his job could very well be on the line.

thornburyiron

Another good chance missed.

ScotHammer

Fornals isn’t playing well. Time for Benrahma?

Really?

buffybegood

No, what a miss. Coufal shoulda hit it imo, but Bowen shoulda scored when it reached him.

OutcastLondoner

Can’t believe the misses today

alderz

I think Fornals has been good, personally

thornburyiron

They’re getting a bit closer.

I completely agree, but it takes me back to when BFS was here and would talk about misses chances and I'd think I was watching a different game; back then, when we got the ball into the opposition penalty box it seemed to constitute a chance, at least as far as BFS counted them.
