I cant remember the last united game i really enjoyed great result but find myself frustrated and a little bored by the continued poor play which has crept into united the last few years

After the game. (as long as it doesn't rain)

I guess it has to be put into perspective, the squad is paper thin with injury at the moment and are starting to gather momentum anyway with some guys starting to show a little bit more form.

That's good.

Plenty bad, but Im gonna stay with the positive tonight!

The away fans are always brilliant!

Smalling and Evans have been immense.

Henandez looked so (understandably) disappointed and frustrated with Valencia there.

First choice partnership for me, or at least the one I would like to be the first choice partnership. Smalling needs to get a clear run from injury now and show the ability he showed when he came in first

double GG

Not playing the best, but some positives of late.

3 Clean sheets in a row, defence is looking more solid.
Fletcher coming back.
Carrick to be back soon.
Good draw in the Champions League.

EDIT: Young actually scoring could be added too.

Jones was great against villa as well, no need for Rio to feature anymore this season barring injuries.

Sadly I am starting to agree with that consensus.

A legend, but he has declined sharply and will hopefully now just be an influence on the team from the dressing room, mentoring.

At least the second half resembled a game of football. The first was ridiculous.
Stoke need to sort out that stadium, the wind blows right through it. It's a bit ridiculous at this level.

Young has had a very positive impact on this game

That's all you can ask from him really. He deserves a break from the constant abuse for tonight anyway.

Disliking a player is one thing, refusing to acknowledge any good he does is another, at the end of the day he is still a United player, whether I like him or not I will support him.

Dont think I refuse to acknowledge anything about him, I was going to say before yet again my stupid broadband cut out that he had a great goal and an assists but by in large he was quite poor again. The point of a winger is to cross the ball and in his case deliver a proper corner which in by large he did **** all. The thing is he shouldnt be a utd player.

Sounds like Ray Hudson. He is funny for 10 mins with his geordie accent and ridiculous phrases, etc. If I had to listen to him on a regular basis it'd make me want to jab rusty nails in my ears.

Still, he is better than Niall Quinn, Ray "Def-fin-aaaaatly" Houghton, or Ronnie "the playa should do betta" Whelan.

Hopefully he builds on this performance, he's not good enough to take us to the CL Finals but on top form is definitely worth having in the squad as long as he cuts out the ridiculous diving.

I understand your point, but I'd happily take a quite poor performance from him with a game winning strike, than a great performance from him and end up with a 0-0 draw.

I think he is a useful player if he can get his form back and cut out the ridiculous diving.

Saw two decent corners second half from him.

Average performance from Young but better than usual.

Not a fan of his but I'm hoping he returns to his best, he'll then be a great asset to the squad.

He impacted the game, he scored and assisted, that's all that really matters in the end, particularly from a squad player.

Whether or not he should be a United player doesn't matter, he is one, so he should be supported while he is, for what its worth I agree with you, never wanted him at the club and still don't. If he can pop up with a goal or an assist when he is played though he will be a great squad player to have

How many games did RVP do nothing else but score last year? Goals win games and deserve to be recognised.

I get your point, I agree with a lot of what you say, I just don't like seeing United players get abuse from their own fans. Even though I do it myself at times!

That first half of soccer made Ireland under Trap look good
