Whenever I aim criticisms at Ole or Pogba or any one involved at United, it's not just that I'm happy to be proven wrong. I actively want them to prove me wrong.

Ole winning the league would be absolutely amazing after the criticisms he got, if only because it shows he's addressed them and improved his own game too. I'd personally build the statue out front of OT if he managed to put us back up on that perch.

Yeah, but "We'll never win another title under Woodward/The Glazers" will be a humongous pill to swallow

Of course, in such an unlikely case of us winning it - I never doubted them for one moment.

Shaw was hopeless, cost both goals letting salah get away from him

Ah, Salah is quality and his movement is very good. IMO lindelofs body position was very poor for the first goal and the second was a turnover and more a problem with maguire (twice) and Cavani s loose ball.

Rossi IRL

Is there debate over the Fabihno foul?


It was a clear foul

Thought he was lucky to even be on the pitch after his earlier foul on Greenwood

Cavani is exceptional. I think he could be here for another 2/3 years.

What a job Ole is doing.

Anyone who thinks Cavani dived shouldn't be watching football or talking about it anyway.

Even Ian Wright made no sense in his explanation.

First goal I blame McT for putting zero pressure on the ball. Give Firmino that amount of time facing your goal and he'll open you up all day long.

Vdb isnt getting a good run of games but I’d imagine with a heavy schedule we’ll see him start more often. It gives greater depth to the squad when we have replacements for rashford and Bruno. Hopefully rashford only has a knock

Kerrydude1981

Great win, took the chances well and got the job done,
Got lucky a few times in the game gave away the ball too much in areas where Liverpool are always going to hurt you and they did twice, sloppy mistakes cost us for their goals.

But its a cup game and its all about winning and it keeps the momentum going for the league.

Great performances from Shaw, Rashford, Pogba and Greenwood who badly needed that goal today.

Nah, it's an easy pill actually :pac:

Couple of silly errors in the game but I thought it was a very good approach and performance overall.

Felt annoyed at times because I felt United could step up more which is really good as on many days I wished United could step up but did not believe it.

Proper cup game as well.

PARlance

Amazing how far we've come. I'm actually (a little) disappointed we didn't give them a proper hammering.

Shocking defending gave them a chance, we need to sort that out.

Nice to be able to rest Bruno for a game like that.

When is the the draw for the 6th round?

All_in_Flynn

That felt good. Fred and Bruno made a big difference cause we were struggling at that point.

Some strike from Bruno. He’s a difference maker.

Pogba was very good again I thought. Cavani was my man of the match. Worked so hard and although he made a mistake for their second, he was in general very very good. Deserved a goal.

Exciting thing about all this is that there is still huge scope for improvement but we are getting better, bit by bit.

Ordinary man

The glazers are starting to seem reasonable compared to the liverpool owners. Imagine united having an injury crisis like liverpool have and the owners refusing to spend to solve it, there would be riots

Bruno never shows up for big games..........

Yeah, McT struggled a lot today and showed a real lack of awareness and nous. It reflects his overall lack of experience and how he used to playing in a deep lying cm two in such games. I think he will learn a lot from today and it will benefit him.

And it'd be true too. Owners focused on the success of the club rather than the size of the dividend would have reinforced in January. If the club does win the title, the owners cant get any credit.

That said, I still think United are over-performing given the gaps in the squad. City is much better equipped to take the title over the next 19 games. I think the team is on track for a comfortable top 4 finish rather than a title. That is still a significant improvement over recent seasons.

If the team is still top of the table with 5 or 6 games left to play then maybe a title is on.

That is what would happen with them too during a Covid crises that is damaging finances. United had to give their biggest sponsor an extension on their payment terms already.

Yep my bad !

When Leicester won the league they just kept winning each game as it came and there was a feel good factor around the club, exactly what we have at the minute and imo we currently have the best midfield in the league with Bruno Pogba and fred/matic/Mctominay/vdb. along with the experience of cavani we have a great chance

Elite mentality, and it paid off.

I love him, what a signing.
