I hate that shïte about the "pitch being bigger".

Premier league rules state all pitches must be the same size.

There are minimum and maximum limits. Oh just that article above - new rules.

Anybody know the wind speed around old Trafford?

SlickRic · 09-02-2014 4:55pm

I should qualify "Utd will win" with "if Utd play it through midfield in any sort of constructive manner".

any team, even as bad as Fulham, has a chance if you lump balls in from deep.

Its just the usual. Not even good at the wind ups

In all fairness i think people are just joking. Fulham are shocking. Utd could beat them if they put out their u12's!!

Fulham are playing 3 in the middle. We better be paying 3 in the middle and not 2 like sky have us lined out.

Loved that, Rene and all the players greeting each other as they came out

Fuhrer · 09-02-2014 4:59pm

Why must the mascot stand with them during the moment of silence with his big ****ing smile

Grayditch · 09-02-2014 5:02pm

4-0 United. Home against Fulham has to be the easiest fixture right now.

You're playing Fulham at home. You do not let them dictate the formation you are going to play.

Rayne Wooney · 09-02-2014 5:08pm

Rooney playing level with RVP it seems

Massive gap between the midfield and strikers

No supply to them at all except through the wings, this could end badly

mrmanunited · 09-02-2014 5:08pm

Carrick pinging some gorgeous passes around! Maybe he read a few #AskCarrick tweets...

Sir Alex sitting beside the worst person in the world, right there.

Home or away, you don't want to be out numbered in the centre. We're keeping the ball comfortably and away from the centre so no hassle just yet.

PhlegmyMoses · 09-02-2014 5:15pm

Crossing the ball when Fulham have the new Peter Crouch at CB. Bizarre.

Quandary · 09-02-2014 5:15pm

Weak start from Utd. The insistence on 99% of our attacks coming from wide is just stupid at this point. If that's our plan for the whole game Fulham could get something from this game.

Rayne Wooney · 09-02-2014 5:15pm

The last two attacks have been an improvement, Fulham will clear high balls in all day

Pass and move

If you've got the better players, playing 2 v 3 in the middle won't harm you. It also frees up the full backs to bomb on due to only having to deal with one man up top.

Hoof, cross, hoof, cross, hoof.....

Kerrydude1981 · 09-02-2014 5:19pm

Typical performance so far from Utd,a bit lifeless.

Grayditch · 09-02-2014 5:19pm

Jaysus.

09-02-2014 5:19pm

That was an amazing silence. Classic.

eigrod · 09-02-2014 5:20pm

Oops !

mike65 · 09-02-2014 5:20pm

Just terrible!

Lord TSC · 09-02-2014 5:20pm

Yeap. And as thy talk will fans be happy if we lose..

Deft ball in by Holtby.

Nuri Sahin · 09-02-2014 5:20pm

That pass..

Chagan · 09-02-2014 5:20pm

Different game, same tripe.

RasTa · 09-02-2014 5:20pm

Solid defending right there

Grayditch · 09-02-2014 5:21pm

4-1, so.
