You lot are a bunch of slackers  Jose confirmed Bailly and Micky will miss this one but Valencia will be back from suspension and Smalling is making a return. This will be a tough match, Pulis has them very well drilled as you expect and they have been playing very well of late also with Rondon and Phillips the main threats. That said there's no doubt we should be winning this with the quality we have.
De Gea
Valencia - Jones - Rojo - Blind
Herrera - Pogba
Mata - Rooney - Martial
Ibra
If Martial isn't available again then Lingard on the left, obviously wouldn't mind Carrick in there but I think we should have enough without him and I'd add the extra attacker. Against Palace we were completely dominant on the ball, they didn't offer a great deal going forward and I feel this will be a similar match, thought the trio midweek was a little bit of overkill and part of the reason for a lack of drive second half. Get the first goal, kill the match and then bring Carrick on to control proceedings. |

Without jinxing anything, I'll say if we manage to win it will be a considerable statement of intent. Or so0me such bollocks. |

Not a game that will live long in the memory. Taking it game by game and at least we made it a bit easier ourselves with the 2nd goal for a change. One or 2 scares but that about it. Lingard did especially well tonight after coming back in.
Job done.

Great team performance and broke through a typical Pulis side convincingly.
Solid in defence Jone defending Rojo great to see ... poor Darmian again played on the left he put in a shift but still looked awkward. Jose must know why he selects him there ..... even though it's baffling for us
Rooney looked sharp in the first and tracked back well to defend .... Darmian is not his ideal partner on that side. He will get stick from our own fans as usual but he could've scored a beauty to match that record ...... goalie and crossbar spoiled it. The captain provided his 9th assist of the season so credit were credit is due.
midfield Carrick, Pogba, Ander perfect mix of skills and looked untouchable.
Jesse what a ball in for Ibra unbelievable football down the right Toni V starting it off. It was a trade mark United goal fast one touch football and how easy it looked. Kudos to Jose for putting Jesse on the team sheet .... the fans were crying out for Mata before the game but Jesse delivered. Yes he should've buried his chance as well...... but still runs tirelessly for the shirt ..... still don't understand why some of our own fans slate him.
Ibra fantastic brace just wish it could' ve been a hat trick lol
Happy with that controlled and concentrated performance from everyone .... much more easy on us fans than that Crystal Palace late winner
Nicely leads into the Boxing Day fixture and us welcoming "the chosen one" back ..... well I'd chose a 5:0 thrashing we need it for our goal difference
Happy days unbeaten in 10 .... 4 wins on the trot long may it continue Have we finally "clicked" ?
It's been a long 3 years wait but it looks like Jose is bringing it together. The players seem to have their belief back .... Zlatan has enough for a whole team lol. I think we've finally turned a corner but with two 35 yr olds being the first 2 names on the team sheet there's still some ground to be covered.
Merry Christmas everyone !

Good performance not scintillating but professional. Like I said before we can easily get through this Xmas period with max points and maybe climb up to 3rd if other results go our way

Expected more pressing from WB, surprised they sat off a lot of the time. Made it slightly easier / less demanding for us, so happy. Keep it rolling now.

Watched the highlights once again of Zlatan's first goal. Even wanted to post it here, but I swear every video that I click on is either in Russian or extremely poor quality. Anyway, echoing everyone else's opinion - job well done against a tough side. Of all the games, I thought that's the one that we're gonna get a draw in, but I'm glad we didn't.
It wasn't an exciting game by all means, but it was exactly what you'd expect from a Mourinho side. Not to mention, catching West Brom on a counter is never an easy thing to do. The only one that looked out of place for me is Darmian, who always looks so lightweight against a PL competition, which could potentially be a problem considering Rojo and Rooney had to run to help him. But that's just a tiny little thing that barely deserves attention.
Biggest star for me once again was Carrick, how does he manage to control the entire pace of the game is beyond me.
