The Manchester United Thread

Good game. Utd should be in front but a combination of fantastic goalkeeping and poor composure in front of goal has them level. With Stoke taking more encouragement the longer the half went on to think they could nick something.

As always in any game, the first goal, if there is to be one, will be crucial here.

Wouldn't like to call this one right now.
 
Delighted with that first half performance. Bossing the midfield, Herrera terrific in that #6 role, Mata looking like he's going to make something happen every time he gets on the ball, Lingard & Rashford's movement down each flank has been really good, and Zlatan is getting plenty of service (I know it was a good save, but imo he should've really been scoring in the 2nd minute, and he'll be happy to hear it's being put down as a great save rather than he should've done better) but we're creating plenty of chances & knocking it about with swagger. More of the same please and the goal(s) will come.
 
Ahh the old FIFA vs Pes debate, I haven't purchased either yet haven't made my mind up.
 
Is it just me or is Ibra off the pace today? Slowing down our attacks, losing the ball a little too much. But hey, he's allowed one sloppy performance once in a while, so long as he scores.
 
Different game and a different referee Herrera walks for that.

This game can really go anyway. Stoke growing the more Utd encourage them.

He needed to bury that chance he had in first half.
 
Poor Ref today. Should have been a Red there for Herrera.

We looked good first half but now we look knackered.

Yup on both counts.

Preverbal game of two half at the moment.

Stoke look a far more dangerous threat this half. Utd have just petered out after dominating the first half. These changes need to be bang on to pick you back u again.

Think he's been good tbh. He needs runners and this second half he has had none.
 
Absolutely delighted for him personally, got that little monkey off his back now. Ibra, Rooney, Mata, Rashford and now Martial all up and running.
 
As Scouse said earlier, all about the first goal, can't help but feel how this might've went had Ibra scored in the 2nd minute. Could've been an absolute rout. That save alone gave the keeper all the confidence to put in this performance.
