Martial. The pure joy of watching him.

Cracker of a second goal from a team perspective.

Mitch Connor

That is a fantastic goal. Best I can think of from United in a long time. Quick forward movement, good feet from mata and rooney - great finish from Martial.

Love the lay off from rooney, the driving forward run to get the ball from mata. Thats the Rooney I like seeing.

This is a United I like seeing. This is a United display of attacking intent we have seen all too rarely; and the type of attacking play that will get the fans off LVGs back.

Mitch Connor

need to step it up again, allowing stoke too much time around our defensive third and losing the second and third balls around our box too often. Affelay getting into space around the edge too often. Carrick and Fellaini need to shore that up.

A pure joy. He is such a wondeful talent. The team needs to be built around him.

Fixed that:D

Great first half! So much better to see some quick passing, urgency and solid tackling from the team. The players look like they are enjoying themselves so hopefully more of this to come. And what a goal by Martial!!

A serious first half performance

Lost for words....

That was actually decent, have cut Stoke open a few times and two goals in a first half at OT.

How good is it to see a proper counter attacking goal!

Should be exhibit A in why possession football is not necessarily right for every club.

BREAKING: bangkok is not funny.

Given the source, I won't hold my breath...
seems to be some random guy on Twitter...

Quandary

Could it be possible that LVG is finally realising that he needs to be sacrificing that lethargic 70% possession based game for a more cavalier risk taking style style??

That's the best first half of football we have played in a long long time.

Mitch Connor

In terms of going forward - the two full backs, Carrick, Mata and Rooney all stepping up their game. Rooney in particular looks hungry for it. Driving into the box when we have the ball - all too often we see him drift around the edges looking to get touches or jogging forward for the attack. Tonight he is really driving forward - the goal came from a nice lay off (to Darmian I think) and then a turn and sprint forward to join the attack - more like the Rooney we need.

Mata should have scored that headed chance, but I think he has done well in the half too. He has used the ball well, and quickly, and got himself into some great positions. Don't blame him for not scoring on the two shooting chances he had - snatched at that cross/shot effort early on though.

Martial terrifying the oppo every time he gets a run at them.

I think defensively it is has been a worry - we have been lucky a few times and on the second and third ball I'm having a fecking heart attack - but at least going forward it looks like there is a genuine effort to attack at pace when we can. A far more pleasing performance than I have seen from United in a long time.

Hopefully we keep up the pace of the game in the second half.

We are gonna need a Combine Harvester at this rate!

Would be a good move for all involved. Let him have a go at an easy league and see how he does.


Does that mean he has been told that he wont be the next manager?

Lord TSC

Lads, the source on the Giggs story is a "freelance journalist" called Jorge Hernandez. Do you really think if the story is true that it would be him breaking it?

Hell, a quick google search says Celtic's current manager just won the Manager of the Month award....It looks like a random twitter Indykilla looking to cause a stir and get some hits...

Best I've seen United in the first half for quite some time at OT

I would be happy to see Giggs leave, he needs to manage elsewhere.

Vardy has put Leicester ahead against Liverpool.

He writes crap on twitter, and is the person who posted Van Gaal attempted suicide before he deleted it.

But Giggs needs to manage elsewhere...

Rossi IRL

Only problem is that all our rivals playing today are winning.

Who cares. All aboard the positivity tractor.

Random picture to match.

The battery in my tractor was flat today after the key had not been fully turned off.

But it is revving now

Rayne Wooney

Petition to ban Giggs from the stadium

Goal of the season. Unbelievable Volley.

Rumour is Giggs was a horcrux and Van Gaal had to destroy him

Hope Rooney keeps his form going in future games.

Rooney should make sure he doesn't get Colleen pregnant again. He was rubbish for the whole pregnancy and starts scoring after the baby is born!

Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points. Happy days

Some interesting stats, for all the Arsenal hype they have scored just 6 more goals than United and now gone 3 league games without scoring (2 at home)
