I thought he was giving out about the blatant penalty not awarded but might be wrong.

Thought so too. When he was on the bench he was pointing to his elbow when he was complaining. No problem there.

I'm all for the fourth officials getting **** wrong but over the course of the night it evend itself out.

Our 1st goal was a touch if handball and offside.

Rojo should have gone for his 1st tackle and the one from behind was certainly a 2nd yellow.

2 we got away with came back to haunt us with the handball and mata goal.

He did let the game flow nicely I thought but the 4 big decisions were all wrong.

The tackle from behind wasn't even a free. clean tackle, won the ball.

Anything to sell paper's headline from The Telegraph.

Yeah I didn't think that second tackle from Rojo was a free either.

Was the shot from rooney that their keeper pulled of a similar save from going in btw? The angles that I seen after weren't clear but it may have been going wide.

Defo going in.

Excellent save but De Geas was better.

Was a great save but had more time to react as i don't think it was as powerful. For De Gea to get to a shot that powerful with that swerve was nothing short of phenomenal

Yea played well and faught hard. Pogba motm and zlatan and carrick excellent

Flint Fredstone

I would have given MOTM to Zlatan. Thought he was excellent tonight. Best game he's had for us so far.

Just cant get over how good Ibra is up front on his own. The minute the ball gets to him, kills it and waits for reinforcements

The man is phenomenal at holding up the ball. Drogba was great at it but Ibra beats him hands down.

The_Kew_Tour

Just delighted with 3 points. Tough one at weekend but if we can win it sets up nicely for 2 Christmas games

StringerBell

Ref/officials get every single big decision wrong yeah?

Handball (Ibra), offside (Pogba), two footed lunge (Rojo), another handball (Ledley), another offside (Mata)?

I didn't see the rojo tackle but assuming it was two footed, he's going to have to be careful

He's a broken leg waiting to happen at the moment and somebody needs to have a word. Overall the wrong decisions evened out tonight but no surprise what gets highlighted. MOTD were even-handed though

He is a liability plain and simple but until he ends up costing us I think Jose will not break the partnership.

Cowards tackle again.

Its actually impressive in a way the amount of decisions the officials got wrong

People harp on about Fellaini, but Rojo is as big a disaster waiting to happen as anyone

They're both very similar. Both can do a solid job, but they need to keep the head or they're liable to do something idiotic.

Ive yet to see rojo do a solid job. Pure useless imo. Zlatan and Carrick rolled back the years tonight you wouldn't think they were mid 30s

StringerBell

Rojo was very solid in a few games this season to be fair to him. Doesn't change that his lunges are idiotic.

Rayne Wooney

It just makes no sense why he'd go in like that, I still can't believe he did it again. Aguero I can understand becuase he was frustrated, but Rojo does it twice for no apparent reason.



A win at the weekend and we go either 3 or 4 points behind 4th. Chelsea, City and Liverpool have beaten West Brom.

scudzilla

problem we have now is referee's wil have watched those 2 tackles, and seen that both deserved red, next time he does it he's gone, no question

IamtheWalrus

Would Leighton Baines still be at Utd had Moyes got his way?

I would go so far as to suggest that next time he does something not even as bad, something borderline even, he will walk no question.

Rojo and Jones have got a good partnership going at the minute. Rojo has played very well.

Neither of them on the same planet as smalling and Bailly as centre backs

I'd beg to differ about Jones. He has shown great calmness and awareness since he came back and this is from someone that's played only a handful of games in two years.

The problem with Jones is his injuries if he overcomes them this year him and Bailey are our best two.

Jones for the past 5 or 6 games has been near perfect. There's a reason he was cb and Bailly was pushed to rb despite Jones having more experience in the rb role.

Ah no.

Now I love Zlats but Drogba was the greatest at it. Even when he didn't have the reinforcements he'd win a free kick or turn and shoot within the space of a phonebox.

They seem to be a different animal this season, tough to beat as usual but a threat at the other end. I'd happily take any kind of win there,never mind dishing out a hiding.

Bangkok looking at that tweet

Irishcrx

Another good performance all round from the team we seem to be slowly hitting the ground now and hopefully can continue on this run of form.
Rojo....Oh Rojo , I remember the first time I seen him in the World cup and he did a Rabona kick inside his own box needlessly to make a clearance and I thought , dear lord what kind of a defender tries that without reason...then we signed him and I thought oh balls now he's playing for us.
Poor season last year but have been pleasantly surprised about his form under Mourinho and in the last few games he has been really solid generally , I've no objection to an aggressive CB, in fact I think all great defenders have an aggressive streak in them and should do but those lunging off the ground two footed tackles are downright uncalled for and dangerous , Even as a Utd fan I wanted him to see him red you just cannot do that and he will cost us at some stage this season, ref's eyes will be all over him the next few games.
There is a good solid defender in there but he needs to cut out the madness from his game...aggression yes, insanity no thanks. Mourinho shouldn't be encouraging it and I'm sure he will actually have a quite word with him despite what he says to the media.
Jones , Carrick , Pogba , Ibra all excellent....the spine is forming.
