Elanga should have buried that.

Big time!....nice pass in from Daniel James....good to see him back.

Defence have started well.

DM_7

Great cross and header.

Whatsisname

YES ELANGA!

KH25

Elanga has looked very good so far. Could have had 3 goals! Well taken header there.

y0ssar1an22

nice header from elanga

Whatsisname

That ball from James on his weaker foot was fantastic.

Bleating Lamb

Unbelievable cross from Dan James and header from Elanga!!

KH25

There’s definitely a lot of energy coming from the team so far. Great to see.

py2006

Great header and cross.

py2006

Has anyone been following Elanga's career so far? How is he doing?

Julez

Donny has had some nice touches so far for a change.

Best game he has had so far....perhaps because Ole has given him the responsibility to be the main man in midfield?

Both Bailly and Tuanzebe doing well also.

Has been playing well for the u23s. Often plays similar role to Rashford, playing on the left and cutting in on his right foot.

py2006

ffs just like the last game

KH25

That goal was coming, we started to sit back after going ahead.

xtal191

Mad Liverpool are only 3 points behind us considering how ****e they've been

Whatsisname

Amad is quality.

KH25

That’s a penalty.

y0ssar1an22

thats a peno, caught him in the side of the ankle

DM_7

That was a possible ankle breaker.

Not with intent but just awkward contact.

Whatsisname

Yes Mata!

duffman13

Delighted for Mata, a likeable fella

y0ssar1an22

shut up jermaine about the peno!

KH25

Has Mata ever missed a penalty for us? He’s so composed with them.

All_in_Flynn

Delighted for Mata in what is likely his last game.

Young lads equipping themselves very well I think. Both Elanga and Diallo have looked good.

py2006

Looked a LOT worse in slow motion

He's actually so irritating, BT have the worst commentators

FYP.

TRC10

Pretty good performance in a tough away game with a hostile atmosphere. The young lads playing very well.

py2006

Starting to look like 2-2

KH25

Ah James, you have to get that on target.

y0ssar1an22

hold your head in shame dan james :pac:

Whatsisname

Fackin ell thats awful.

S.M.B.

Lucky he has the assist in the bank from earlier

py2006

oh ffs James

xtal191

Matic has been very good

pjohnson

I'll miss Juan

KH25

Amad has looked very comfortable out there today.

piplip87

Mata has the look of a lad who has played his last game.

We should loan him out to get more regular football really, even if it's only from January next season.

GSPfan

Great result to finish the season. Elanga and Amad look ready to play regular football either at United or somewhere on loan. Mejbri will be great.

nullzero

Easiest win we've had against Wolves in years.

Nice to win on the last day.

Definitely a season of what if's for us, we should have been a lot closer to City, lots of silly mistakes scattered through the campaign. If we have a sensible summer of transfers we may just push on.

Fail to invest and we'll be nowhere near a second place finish next May.

Onto Wednesday night then.

Whatsisname

Thought we were pretty good, especially as our 2nd string usually look like they've never met before. Bailly and Tuanzebe looked good, think I'd go with Tuanzebe and Lindelof in the final. Amad was quality, he's ready for first team football. Elanga took his goal really well and could have had 2. Telles was decent too. VDB one of his better performances. All round good performance from everyone I think. Finishing second with a win and keeping the away record for the full season. It's a good day!

py2006

The three 0-0 games we had against Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea really frustrate me. I know we don't deserve to win the league but I think we should be closer to City.

adox

Whatever way you want to look at it finishing second is progress from Ole and as good as we could have hoped for in all honesty.


Huge game coming up midweek.

I just hope Utd add at least 3 quality players to the squad that are first team players. I think we will need it to stand still.


Second is a very good season all things considered.

Those wouldnt be the ones that frustate me as normal enough to drop points against big 6, its the ones lost against the relegated teams that I found annoying.
But considering the challenging season where utd playing 2 games a week its remarkable that did so well.
Hopefully ole is backed and gets the players he wants to close the gap further.

El Gato De Negocios

So 8 points better off than last season, not massive improvement all things considered. Next season will tell a different story I fear. Chelsea have had a shyte manager for half the season and improved markedly when he was replaced. Liverpool have had a couple of injuries but showed signs of improvement towards the end and will have some of their key players back. Both will strengthen in the summer one would imagine. The EL final for us is massive, it may not be glamorous but its a chance for the team and manager to show they can perform when there is something at stake.

All things considered, it would have been unrealistic to expect "massive improvement" when we only brought in squad players and teenagers in the summer.

And yeah, because there's been nothing at stake until Wednesday.

StringerBell

The team have buckled under pressure many, many times so not sure why there would be sensitivity to that comment.

Have we heard of coaching? I understand we don't see much improvement in the way of the players being coached, markedly worse at defending for example but surely if Ole is to be given credit you can't continuously just point to him needing brilliant players all over the pitch? He has to improve the ones he has too. I don't think thats unfair really.

Glad to end the league campaign on a good note and happy to see some of the young lads get a chance, roll on Wednesday
