The Manchester United Thread

My stream died when Pogba got the red, was there any intention?
 
I've seen the tackle, little bit that is. Thats why Im asking. It looks nasty.
 
Nothing seems to be going Arsenal's way today two penalties turned down and 3 goals from errors against them. Only thing in their favour was the sending off.
 
de Gea's 14 saves equal a PL record. Which tells it's own story.

Thoroughly enjoyable game.
 
What a game. What a win. Took the game to Arsenal, went 2-0 up, and there the damage was done.

Draw probably the "fair" result, but you don't always get what you deserve in football. We were robbed a deserved win vs. them at Old Trafford last season, so dry your eyes Gooners.

Lingard brilliant, couldn't handle him. Pogba bossed it, dampener at the end, but ran the show. De Gea brilliant, performance slightly flattered by a lot of popshots from Arsenal, but some world class saves in the mix too. Matic the steel we were gifted (cheers Chelsea again), Martial linked up fantastically with Lingard, Pogba and of course, Lukaku, who led the line like a warrior. You get the picture!

Only massive dampener is we're without Pogba for City. He's TOO important, massive negative.

Yep definitely tells a story Scouse, you get nowt if you don't get the ball in the net ;) De Gea played a blinder but the Arsenal players were wasteful as well having something like 30 shots on goal.
 
City next week absolutely crucial but after that it's Bournemouth and West Brom. 2 teams without Pogba you'd expect us to beat.
 
Sounds ridiculous, but I have little faith in us without Pogba. He's THAT much of a gamechanger. He's the difference between our front 3/4 being fluent and wavy, or rigid and uninventive.

Hope I'm wrong, but I am not filled with enthusiasm.

He's very important but don't write us off, especially at home.

Herrera needs to step up and put in a performance like we know he's capable of.

What Herrera is best at doesn't fill what Pogba vacates. It'll be back to the walls, and hope for a few moments.

I hope we actually try to approach this game like we did against Chelsea last season at Old Trafford
Rather than sit back and invite pressure, press them and force them into errors.

Herrera is fantastic when you employ that kind of approach. City are used to having their own way on the ball. It's up to us not to allow it. If we just sit back and invite them on to us it won't work. We will lose.
 
Lingard's undroppable in those type of games. Works his socks off, and as Rio rightly points out, hurts teams in a way most modern day young footballers don't; sheer movement & work rate

Presses, runs, scores big goals, links up well with all attackers, and runs some more. Top squad player
 
Lingard has come on a level or two under Jose imo.

Three goals in his last two games which before that was more than he managed in his last 51 matches or somet crazy.
 
He brings so much to the team, that when he actually starts adding consistent output (which he is doing lately), he's gonna be a really dangerous little weapon to have.

What's amazing about him is the fact he'd happily finish his career as a United squad/rotation player; that's the type of lad we have here. Yet people moan when he signs a deal
 
Watching MOTD was absolutely brilliant counter football by us.

De Gea is on another planet tho.
