Hank Scorpio

Mata deserves that, worked his bollix off tonight

SlickRic

The last 5 minutes are what Mourinho teams used to do.

murpho999

Deserved lead for Utd, only team playing in this half.

Deserved
Great second half so far

Tom.D.BJJ

Well deserved. Well worked

Mantis Toboggan

Woop woop

How Soon Is Now

Much better great start to second half by United.

LuckyGent88

Get the reward for some much better play.

Rayne Wooney

Where's the guy who always said Mourinho knew what he was doing with Mata

:pac:

Mantis Toboggan

Finally United got the finger out

Liam McPoyle

Herrara could have gotten pulled for a foul there.

GreNoLi

Cute by Herrera.

Skylinehead

Wouldn't particularly fancy a young City to get back into this unless they brought on the big guns.

Still want Ibra off

Just what I was afraid of. Utd far better now thsn they were in the first half.Those half chances Kel passed up are going to cost us.

Unearthly

Finally the City bus gets breached

ScummyMan

I don't mean to over react, but I think Herrera is my favourite person in the entire world.

monkey9

I don't care that he played for Chelsea and now Man U, i actually like Mata. I think he's class.

How Soon Is Now

Great tempo to United's play now would love to see them play likr this regularly.

Yeah definitely!

Shocking decision. Nailed on foul by Shaw.

SlickRic

The system, as is, is how Utd should be. Pogba doesn't need much defensive responsibility. The only way you get the most out of him is have the 2 behind him and let him cause havoc.

One of the most likeable guys in football, his blog is excellent and he really goes out of his way for fans. You can see how popular he still is with Chelsea fans which is a testament to him!

Shaw although having a better second half needs more fitness training IMO
Still looks sluggish

Only problem being the lack of havoc he is causing.

Pep sending Sterling on now to miss a sitter from five yards.

Utd better team so far this half anyhow. I don't really care who wins though, but I really want it to go to extra time and pens.

SuperTortoise

I'd rate the refs performance as somewhere between piss poor and ****e.

Not sure either manager does!

Osmosis Jones

Should be a tap in there

Dirty Sterling

Diving herrera

Disco Stu!

LuckyGent88

That's another effort ibra should have done better with. 3rd in 3 games. Dare I say he is lacking confidence.

Bridge93

Pathetic from Herrera. United much the better team now. Look comfortable

Mantis Toboggan

Awful tackle from Sterling he should be off

SlickRic

Shock horror, Herrera trying to be cute again. At least one of those dives a game.

BorneTobyWilde

City failing to impress again
Time for a snack, sausage sandwich

Now, i know nothing about him off the pitch and haven't read his blog. But he does come across as decent in his interviews about Chelsea after signing for Man U. No bitterness at all, just kind things to say.

I always rated him at Valencia and i have a lot of time for him (apart from his brace at Anfield)

The back heel and assist plus an almost assist to pogba says nope.

super_furry

Sums up Kolorov's night that.

Here we go

RobbingBandit

Ref is terrible. Stupid calls all night

Bridge93

In fairness the assist was as much to do with the two lads colliding as it was ibrahimovic. He's been ****e

Finally Morgan getting a chance

Morgan for pogba? Or Carrick.

Schneiderlin for Mata? That seems strange.

ShaneU

Rare Schneiderlin spotted!
