The reason for our six wins in a row, I believe, is down to Michaelangelo Carrick* more than anyone else.

We are now playing a system that lives and breathes on our defenders being comfortable on the ball and able to pick a pass. Jonny Evans struggled to complete simple five yard passes today, Jones the same, without Carrick in there we would have been suffocated. There was even one time when Jones looked up, saw Van Persie in a tight window, then turned back and gave it to Carrick, who took a touch and then fizzed the ball through a now even tighter window to Van Persie's feet. I know Jones and Evans are coming back from a long layoff but I clenched my cheeks every time either of them had the ball, and could only unclench when Carrick was on it.

Carrick has strolled into this situation of panic and basically said "Lads, whats all the fuss about, will yous calm your tits please?" and as a result, Young, Fellaini, and especially RVP have calmed their tits to the point that they are now all performing at their best.

*=I'm calling him Michaelangelo Carrick now because he is playing the game with the poise and class of a ****ing renaissance painter.

Most of the chances given up today were from poor play out of the back,cut this out and we'll look a lot better.Carrick was the only one back there who looked comfortable on the ball from the off.

From Young's twitter:


Valencia discovered he is able to go by players today and it was a joy to watch,hopefully the days of turn back Tony are going.

The Moldy Gowl

See Valenciadinho nutmeg the Liverpool player and assist Rooney?

Would be nice if he could do that consistently.

Iv been very happy with Young of late, he has won me over. A good squad player to have

I love that he stopped, looked back and realised he was the right back and there was nobody to pass it back to and only then did he think "actually I can do something here". The Valencia who first came to United wouldn't have had that hesitation against Joe fúcking Allen anyway...

mcratsix

I'm obviously delighted with the result, we were clinical and they were awful in front of goal. De Gea was immense once more, sterling could have had 10 more one on ones and still wouldn't score.
One negative is how uncomfortable we looked passing it around at the back. Johnny Evans had a shocker for me. He really hasnt adapted to his new role in the defence, and right now I'd start rojo and even Carrick ahead of him as a CB.
Herrera and Falcao really deserve more game time as well. I thought they both had glimpses of their class today. I can't wait for the day we get Shaw, Rafael, di Maria, Herrera and falcao starting together.

They were absolutely unbearable last season with their gloating at us - a taste of their own medicine will do them the world of good to put them in their rightful place.

After last season, all bets are now off. A few years ago when they were struggling badly, I often thought to myself that it wasn't good for the league to be seeing the likes of Liverpool fading away. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Those sentiments are long buried in the ground after last season, I won't be able to see them fail/fúck up enough now!

The win makes the pints taste even sweeter!! However, its time for a meme break....

Have a look through the eyes of raheem sterling today.....

Kinda feel sorry for Liverpool fans

Its like your next door neighbour thinking he has just won the lotto, say 19million, he ****s and gloats about it in front of you. When he arrives at Lotto centre to collect his money he falls on his ****ing hole, hands ticket over only to realise he had last years numbers.

Back to normality.

Neighbour might write a few books about it as well

I'm just delighted.

Won't say single bad word about them after that.

De Game deserves special praise though. Fellaini had super 2nd half..

Roll on MOTD.

Missed out on all the fun on here today, reading through has given me many laughs


Great win, 6 in a row, today has been satisfying. Match of the day to look forward to later

Loved the way Fellaini stopped a few of Pools attacks,he was like the school yard bully going after Sterling

Especially as he got booked after first few minutes.

Fellaini has had some decent games for us but today in 2nd half he came of age.

Bloody delighted for him. Never deserved the crap he got over the summer.

Mikeyt086

Wayne Rooney was immense today too, a complete performance. The above picture happened in the space of about 20 seconds.

The_Kew_Tour

December was a deciding month for us last year. We had a shocker. Hopefully this one is opposite.

So far so good.

Quote Rodgers...

"I thought we did enough to win the game, We made defensive mistakes and that has cost us today."

Now he's really starting to sound like Moyes

He really did. I was convinced that he would be sent off after the early booking.

But he swept up everything in the second half.

Any craic in match thread today?

What was today's conspiracy theory special?

No kissing the camera for our Juan.

Today was one of the most satisfying wins in a long time. After all the crap and abuse being thrown around last year the win today was excellent.

Unless it happened twice, the ball was passed to Mata. Jones turned away and gave it to Carrick who nailed the pass. Mata won a free high up the pitch and promptly turned and acknowledged Carrick. Mata wasn't given enough of those balls though. The others need to trust their abilities more.

He was great today. A real leader.

Will I Amnt

I know he hasn't been near his best this season but there's no arguing with Mata's contribution on paper. Played ok today anyway, was involved in most of the good passages of play.

Gits_bone

Congratulations on the result today.

Your keeper was insanely good.

However if you switch the keepers and had we a striker like Sturridge or even someone like Jordan Rhodes I think the result might have been different.

But it's not...we were shocking at the back.

First ever big game ive enjoyed, once 3rd goal went in we could relax at last. Serious atmosphere, its been a while since the place reached that level of bounce.

Home in the morning!

Not many talking about how awesome RVP has been in the last few games...

It's like he's found second wind.
Unbelievable work rate for the team.
He's tracking back and hold up play have been top class.
I don't think he lost possession once in the last 3 games.
And as for his finishing, absolutely clinical with his chances.

He was a right howl in the after match interview. From what I remember this is what he said;
"It hit my head an I admit it should have been offside...but you can put it down as an assist!"

edit* Here's the vid

Also, there was a really good interview before the match. Can't find it on youtube.

Just checked and Spurs game was New Years day had included that game in my head.

Oh man, that was a satisfying win today! Such a great feeling to beat them by a few goals, we were due a win like that!

The reaction through the forum has been a quite enjoyable read! The DDG thread in particular is a riot. So many trying to run him down. Apparently a few of the keepers better(or at the very least as good as him) are Lloris, Bravo and Forster...

Absolutely love the guy, and that man-love is growing with every commanding performance. Tying him down to a long-term deal would be the finest bit of business done in 2015.

For me that game was when I lost all hope of us getting top 4. I think we'd put 5 wins on the spin to get within 3 points of 4th but after that I just knew we wouldn't be up to it.
