Sorry it shocks you.

Tell you what, where do you rank Fellaini's performance today among the rest of the players?

Edit: Actually **** that don't answer I refuse to argue with any of ye today!

Fellaini was one of our better performers imo, if your is different that's great too.

His performance in relation to the other players is totally irrelevant and just a weak argument to make him look good. Most of the team were poor today and he was really poor again. Even the fans were disgruntled when Herrera came off in place of fellani

Great!

For anyone who can see that Twitter link of Jones in the crowd, that is how I'm feeling. Hopefully he wasn't injured in the melee.

Knowing Jones,he probably injured everybody around him.

No Fellaini fights today please, wait till tomorrow... he did help create the goal.

No, I said he was one of our better performers today. You took great offence by that and the reason it is so preposterous is that

you wrote:

Terrific counter.

No twisting necessary.

But what does it tell you that in both of the last two games, Herrara has been hauled off midway through the 2nd half and Fellani has remained on the pitch. And even today, Fellani was one of the stronger performers. It tells me that not only is Herrara not trusted/not good enough to play in midfield without Schneiderlinn and Fellani beside him, but he can't even perform to the expectations many fans have of him when they are there to play alongside him. Herrara is quickly becoming Kagawa II. On paper both Mata and Herrara should be integral to Man Utd, but the reality is far different, and many fans are blinded to this or just refuse to see it.

Next game is at home next Saturday on Setanta at 3pm against Southampton, who are 7 points behind us.

I have to say, when I saw that lineup I wanted Fellaini out and Memphis in after the Newcastle game. That said, he played well and helped with the goal. CBJ also played quite well when he came on and Darmian at RB looked comfortable. Nice to see Rooney back scoring consistently.

Morgan wasn't great today again. Smalling was a bit shaky also. DDG a well deserved man of the match. What a player.

Liam McPoyle

It's nice to see the doom and gloom lifted in here, even if its prolly only temporary.

First half we were dross, second half we were much better but still lacking in the final third.

A good team would have beaten us.

Lucky for us we were not playing a good team.

I'd rather beat that lot this way every single game rather than stuffing them by two or three.

The undeserved victories are the sweetest of all.

Yippee

RobertKK

If Stoke could manage not to lose but instead win today, it would mean United, City and Arsenal would have lost the same number of games.

Bret Hart

Only for Dummets flukey goal against us in midweek,it'd have been a perfect week and start to 2016. On too Southampton next weekend and another 3 points and hopefully Carrick,Schweni and Jones back fit.

Any news on how Young is ?

No news but my initial reaction when seeing him go down first time was that he injured his groin.

DDG was good but apart from the save from Can, everything else was routine, had any of them went in, serious questions would have been asked.

Smalling was outstanding in my opinion and I thought he would get mom. I think giving DdG man of match is giving Liverpool too much credit , they were terrible in front of goal.

Cantona's Collars

Today once more demonstrated how one dimensional our attack is,too many times players were having to take on 3 or 4 defenders by themselves with little support or runners going ahead of them to give an option of a pass.

Fellaini being on the pitch was one of the main reasons Liverpool couldnt do there mad pressing game so he was playing a massive part by just being on the pitch...
He also had a good game and assisted a goal and was unlucky not to score himself.

2 kinda assists in 2 games the new Ozil :pac:

Lol....Louis certainly is a character anyway-

"@samuelluckhurst: Van Gaal just walked past mixed zone and asked if we were cold.
'Yes.'
'Good,' he replied, without malice. #mufc"

The_Kew_Tour

2 awful teams but we were not lucky either. We took our chance, it was not a smash and grab like 06\07.

Will it kick start our season? Doubt it, but hopefully it gives us some optimism.

Young and Fletcher too. Loads of them do it. Apparent they love going in with the away fans in particular.

Rooneys best run of goal scoring form, in almost 4 years - last time he scored in 4 consecutive games was march 2012.

the frustrating thing, is the league is crying out to be won. weve had one of our worst seasons in 30 years, and we are still within 7 points of top.

i know every team can say the same, but when weve dropped silly points against the s*ite teams, it makes it even more frustrating. all in all though, its been a good week for us.

Nice see LVG and Giggs having few laughs together today, as many thought they were gonna kill each other:P

Tastes good m8s.

sky giving out the impression now that they believe its our worst performance of the season today, but our best result.

liverpool fans must be sick, we played muck and still beat them:D:D

It's mad considering how poor we have been. Technically we are still very much in contention however in reality I don't think even the most optimistic among us see us putting a run of results together between now and the end of the season that will see us challange. I'm still going for Arsenal and City in that order and 3rd and 4th there to play for...

I'm delighted though after today. We were the better side in the second half and in this and the last couple of games the fear in the team when it comes to going forward and taking a risk with a pass and committing players seems to be disappearing a bit. We have a hell of a ways to go but I think before we are playing at level becoming Man Utd but that result today should at least give the players huge confidence.

Maximus Alexander

Obviously United can still win the league, in the sense that everyone above will drop at least 7 points by the end of the season. But it would involve putting together a run of results that haven't been seen in at least 3 years, out of nowhere. So, even more obviously, we shouldn't even be talking about it. :P

homerjay2005

we had at least 5 chances to break in the last 20 minutes today and we messed all of them up - mata twice, rooney and memphis twice.

need to work on that aspect of our game - transitioning with speed. its our biggest flaw in my opinion.

Kerrydude1981

What a result after a brutal performance for long stages of the game but played a bit in the second half couldn't get anything going in the first half

Was certain Pool would nick a goal but Big Dave was having none of it

It's simply no wonder we all love him. Form aside, whatever aisde, you love seeing a player, especially foreign, just ****ing love the club.

Totally agree Homer.

It's actually so bad, it's annoying.

But I'll take 3 points today.

TheDoc

Appreciate peoples concerns over the performance, I'm the same to be honest.

But at the same time, double over Liverpool again

Louis van Gaal: "We are seven points behind (the leaders) and we have to oversee that"

Gained 2 points this weekend on both the leaders. Need to keep it up.

RobertKK

It was a huge day for Van Gaal, that picture emphasises it.
