When Pogba gets the ball, three Swansea guys converge on him.

still playing too deep for my liking

Mars Bar

Great save

adox

Great to see the team play so high up the pitch.

J. Marston

When Sanchez gets the ball, it looks like he has half a dozen ideas in his head and can't pick one.

Yep, still seems to be over trying. Feet nearly moving to quicky. Looks tense,anxious and in too much of a hurry whenin possession.

Lord TSC

Sanchez!

J. Marston

Picked the right one there though!

ElChe32

Yes Alexis boy!

Well done Sanchez, never doubted him.

They’re a great bunch of players when there’s nothing to play for.

pjohnson

Swansea are dreadful

No doubt. It was just a quip after his failed bicycle kick.

Drumpot

Got to say, 2-0 up, could be more and a very good display and atmosphere is poor.

Will I Am Not

Could have sworn Lindelof said “ah ya c*nt ya” when he headed that ball out.

adox

So if a Swansea player stays down the game is stopped but if Utd do the same it isn’t?

Good man ref.

Ah yeah, that was ambitious alright.

Have to say, all our attack are playing well together as well as being good individually. Some very nice and effective link-up play in this half.

Swansea have not been good though.

wanderer100

Great half More goals in the second please!! Would love for Pogba to get on the scoresheet

Drumpot

Happy with Pogbas contribution. Good response to the issues he seems to be having. Team look comfortable and could be winning by more. But I just want to see Pogba try and do what he can with whatever role he is asked to do. He looks like he has a spring in his step, is more assertive and involved then he has been in a long time.

This is the kind of team performances I will expect next season in a large portion of our league games against poorer opposition. A few more transfer targets and I think we Will see this very regularly.

There can be no complaints about how much united are attacking. Fans at the ground can give no excuse for not cheering them on. Problem is that we have a ground and fans that just aren’t used to being that loud. It’s not an insult, it’s just an observation I’ve noticed for a long time (even during SAF years) and I’m glad the club is trying to remedy it (18-25 target).

Also been happy with Lindleof who is getting stuck in and looking more comfortable then he has in sometime .

We won't get many games like this. Swansea putting no pressure on the ball, so much space for us to operate.

Commentator on my US channel: Touches for DDG have been a real rarity in this half.

Me: Not fúcking really since that's about 5 times you've said that in the last few minutes once DDG touched the ball.


I know what he means, but jaysus say something different.

Quandary

Very positive performance from us so far. Lots of things to be pleased about. Sanchez is playing really well, both offensively and defensively. Lukaku, lingard and mate all doing well. Pogba has had some lovely moments and is doing well overall.

Swansea have been giving us a criminal amount of time on the ball but Jose will be pleased with the attitude and work rate of the players, particularly Sanchez, who has been tracking back and tackling more than I can ever remember.

Probably true but isn’t it great to see us do something with it, play with intent, create chances?

More often than not we have been dragged down to the oppositions level(when playing weaker teams) and have been extremely passive and let them dig after the tempo of the game.

I realize Swansea have been awful but it’s a breath of fresh air to see Utd play somewhat freely and creat plenty of chances, win the ball back high up the pitch etc.

I think we will get a lot of games like this. United will be stronger and teams will sitback more. People might not like Jose’s tactics but they get more efficient the more he gets it the way he wants it.

Swansea’s performance is not a reasonable explanation for United’s and that’s unfair as they started in the front foot. Swansea’s performance has played a role but As others have mentioned we have seen united start well and fall off or hand the initiative to poor teams.

Try our sponsors double dish extra large pizza?

probably our easiest game this season, mata doing well, pogba cruising in midfield although i would like to see him push forward more

Why?

I’d like to see if he can show great discipline and he is capable of learning to be solid in a more defensive position. Everybody knows how good he can be in a more advanced role, a Pogba who can play deeper when requested is a better asset then a Pogba who can only play one role.

because he is our best player imo and we should be playing to his strengths and not his weaknesses

It's a team game, once the team is playing well and he is performing in the role asked of him I see no issue it need to push him to be the centre of attention.

wanderer100

Should really be 3 nil up!!

You presume him learning a defensive quality won’t compliment his talent.

Uber for Mata :pac:

Lord TSC

And there's DDG's weekly "How did he stop that?!?!" moment.

Hococop

Just give that man whatever money he wants

Just DDG things.

wanderer100

How is he so good!!! Unreal saves once again

J. Marston

Incredible but also a little annoying in that we switch off twice like that and need him to bail us out again in what is one of our most comfortable games this season.
