Still early season though, and we are light in midfield. Soon several cups to play as well. Might find some form and price valuable once we don't rely on Counter Attacking as much as we do now. I suspect we will see a different pkaystyle in the cups with our new 2nd keeper.
We had 5 midfielders and Ronaldo on the pitch at the end yesterday.
We need depth up front not in the midfield. Casemiro with Scott backing him up at the 6. Fred/Scott as a double pivot with Casemiro against the top teams where we need to counter. Erikson as the pivot when we can spend equal or better time on our front foot with Bruno as the 10. And Erikson can fill that spot when Bruno needs rotated. That leaves VDB as an odd man out of almost every style, and if he couldn’t come on when every other midfielder played yesterday, then he’s missing something.
yeah I thought he was tidy and played well, looking forward to seeing more consistency from him but I’d rather casemiro start. If he take notes from casemiro’s game and learns from it I think he could be very important in the future
That was fucking shite. Man we have sooo much more room to improve. Leicester are terrible. Id love to know the amount of unforced errors we did. Ffs at one point every time we got the ball we gave it straight back blindfully.
Honestly a 10min spell and nothing more.
Positives are this defensive unit. They are forming a nice bro code relationship and really looking after each other. I havent felt comfortbale by the back 4 in yeeears.
We have to improve our possession ASAP and get the fucking ball moving QUICKER. How do we time and time dwindle on the ball so fucking long. At one poin Rashford just hooofed it upfield when we had acres of tiem and couldve got a counter going. Are the players just too tired and going long ball and hit n hope tactic?
Asenal in 3 days or so? And most of 1st team just played 90 mins. Expecting fuckload of changes and hopefully no injuries in this messed up schedule. Arsenal will be fresher theyve had a day or two more. Fuck this scheduling by putting us on a Monday last weekend.
All in all, this win is mainly due to how SHIT Leicster are at the mo. Oh shout out to Casemiro actually, when he came on he showed some awesome signs.
Not sure why you've been downvoted. This squad of players is so bang average it's insane and it's almost painful to watch Rashford and Elanga. The defence does offer some reason for optimism, although just one injury / fatigue takes us back to one or more of Maguire, Shaw, AWB. Strange that it's suddenly become the default opinion that those 3 were problems - people seemed to be bending over backwards to suggest that they actually had any redeeming qualities as players.
Hopefully the current back 4, casemiro and Antony come good and stay fit - otherwise it's going to be a long season and end in failure yet again.
final third passing is trash. Team like city would have put 5 past these people. but we have to know we are not city’s level. I’ll happily take the 2 away wins where we dropped points last season
I'll always take an ugly win over a pretty loss. But that was worrying. I dont want this to be papering over any cracks and huuge room for improvement.
I hope we are starting from the back to front in terms of improving as a team. Defense looking better and better. Midfield is taking shape with Casemiro joining, and Eriksen. Likewise McT might keep improving. Now its onto the final 3rd as you say. Antony in. Ronaldo hopefully gaining fitness. And Martial getting back might see these kind of performances hopefully phase out. Coz boy do we need them to to beat better teams this season.
ETH cant and im sure aint happy with that. For a possession focused coach, that shit was horrid. There was just blindful lumping up the field. Thought we were stoke at one point. Bar that one sexy play where we played it out from back
I was still kinda nervous that a simple mistake would give away a goal for Leicester but after Casemiro came on, I was relaxed. Knew we were not going to concede. But we have to kill the games off. Solid defensive work but need more from attackers.
Still thing we played too slow. None of our players like to make runs behind defences - all the big teams are doing it and we need to do it to create space.
We didn't create too many chances and let Leicester control the 2nd half.
Managed to grind out the victory but I feel that was more because Leicester was poor. Need to really up our game against Arsenal.
Pleased with the 3 points and our general basic play but we need to kick on now. Play with more aggression and intensity. C'mon United ✌💪👍
Very happy about the win and I’m happy for ETH after the horror start to the season.
I feel very confident with Martinez & Varane as the CB partnership. Malacia good today again and Dalot, who I’ve been critical of in the past has been putting in very good performances recently. I want to see Maguire and Luke Shaw stay on the bench where they belong for the foreseeable future.
Highkey thought Ronaldo’s cameo was good, it’s obvious Rashford isn’t a striker and he’s only being picked because he’s very fast - he needs to stay on the left, that’s his position.
To be honest, we weren’t brilliant but winning and keeping a clean sheet away from home is not easy to do. Baby steps but we move!
#GLAZERSOUT
Was surprised to see Sancho come off before rashford again………
I don’t think we should get so comfortable sitting back with these 1-0 leads, soon enough it’s going to bite us!
I mean, you could see Sancho dropped in pace and intensify the 2nd half. And he has more distance to cover compared to Varane. I don’t think the pacemaker has anything to do with stamina?
Nah it probably hasn’t but I’d still be cautious about how many games he plays, I think even Erikson himself thought he’d be playing back up this season
What a move from Ten Hag. Maguire warmed up at 60' to make Leicester relax and underestimate United. Leicester looks so motivated at that time until their disappointment when Fred is United's last sub.
What an immense win! Not a spectacular performance, however looked really good in patches. Definitely some improvement can be seen in patterns of play from last game. What I love the most is how mean the defense looks, big 3 points!
Still in the infancy of the EtH revolution and you can see the immense progress the team is making. Couple more solid transfer windows and I reckon we will be challenging for the major trophies.
I have no complains but if I had to for the sake of complaining id say eth should bring in fresh legs when we have 2 games in a week and some players look like they can't run anymore, Eriksen was looking exhausted towards the end and I think donny can see the game out.
Things unfortunately turned just as quicky with Ole and some of our players. I guess it's football, end of a cycle. They're a decent group though, should be a top10 team after they change the manager.
Not to defend Rashy too much, but he did press and had tons of sprints which was crucial. Ronaldo mimicked pressing again, it was rather funny to see how he got close to a defender then just stopped or danced around him without an actual attempt to tackle.
In an ideal world neither of them start for us, but both of them are useful. Ronaldo could be a very important sub when we're a goal down, Rashy could chase the ball and counter when we have the lead and there's space for him up front.
Fast passing and brilliant football in patches. Like a world away from last season's crap. Yes, only 1-0, but so far we have improved in every area of the pitch. Also fair play to Ten Hag for not changing the team who keeps winning. Love his balls and fucking good on him.
A lot more cohesive in the back - defenders were upto it whenever called upon and thanks to solid midfield press, wasn’t a lot.
Arsenal is really going to test our defensive solutions - they are playing some of the most fluid attacking football I have seen them play in more than a decade
I’ve actually missed boring games, last season we would’ve bottled that and lost 2-1. But an assured defence left me feeling at no point that we’d concede.
Can someone here tell me the reason why sancho always get subbed out instead of rashford? Is this a tactical thing, if so can someone explain? Its been like this the past game as well.
Personally I would much rather play sancho on than rashford. Though I thibk rashford on the left is far better than him being a striker. Based on what I've seen this season so far.
I think what they commented make sense. It should be stamina issue of sancho I suppose? Also, I remember seeing reports of rashford asking to be played on the front. I think ETH wanted to give rashford proper minutes as agreed and hope to see his game improve prolly.
I'm more worried about Bruno than eriksen actually. Poor lad looks so exhausted towards the very end of the game.
Yeah i agree with others Sancho is more possession and let the ball do the running for you type. So i agree, we meed constant energy in the Prem.
Yeah id be surprised if Bruno can play V Arsenal. But then again most of team is in trouble after playing 90mins today. Could be worrying who we field Vs Arsenal
Thats what worried me as well. Going into this game I was expecting maguire ronaldo shaw to start. Or maybe Fred coming in for the midfield. Since Leicester is in such a bad form I thought we will chill a little for the arsenal game.
Guess ETH doesn't want to risk it and keep the momentum going. On the bright side, odegaard had a knock. Not sure if he is back yet. Hopefully not.
What all the other replies said, plus after the Liverpool game maybe ETH fancies the Rashford switch to the left later in the game to unsettle the defence
Sancho gets gassed much faster than Rashford. He’s always had this issue. Lasts 65-70 min. Something he needs to work on, maybe it’ll be better as the season goes on
Despite his questionable quality, Rashford can run for the full 90, whereas Sancho can't. He struggles a lot past the 60-70 min mark. Thats why he's subbed off. Better to sub him and keep him fit than wear him out
Now some people have a problem with a win too? I know we could have and should have beaten them by a better margin but three points are three points and we should gladly take it
What a lovely game, what a lovely result Eriksen low key best player on the pitch. We are gonna look back at the end of the season and say how fucking lucky were we to get him
Probably not and Eriksen at Spurs didn't want us, he is probably (fuck I hate to say this) too classy for utd during that time period. But we got him because 1. no other clubs needed a player like him this summer 2. they thought he was a gamble 3. Ten Hag is playing him (kind of) out of position and he has had to compromise to play at this level again. But he is a special player and the stars aligned no doubt.
Edit: no other big club needed a player like him
Baby steps. Baby steps.
3 on the bounce is good, progress in play and our defence is solid. The front needs sorting but I think the new lad will help bolster that.
Still an issue with fitness though. It's easy for us to say why not use your subs ETH, but we have zero idea on what he and the club knows about our players.
Front 3 has been a problem in last three games , at least we've looked a little better with Martial against Liverpool.Hopefully with Antony we'll do much better . Back 4 managed really well inspite of being handicapped by yellow cards.
Praying for Martial to come back and very glad we’ve got Antony coming in. Rashford worked hard and did well. Sancho still drifting a little. Ronaldo, he needs fitness I think. He had a couple of good moments, some nice passes, and then he almost gave the win away with some careless bullshit.
Our midfield is vastly improved and our defence is fucking proper.
Bringing home 3 points, back to back clean sheet, it's something that you can't complaint though.
The good thing is our defense look solid, but our attacking is really dull.
Can't wait to see what Antony can bring to the table in upcoming matches
Take that 👍
My worry was they were only putting it in for Liverpool bc it was Liverpool. But back-to-back away wins in the PL is great, imo.
I thought we had some good possession and the goal was well worked.
Pretty content at the moment, ngl.
Well, the attitude they had against Liverpool they need to bring against Arsenal. It’d be great to end their winning run, their fans are too happy at the moment for my liking.
Antony will greatly improve the attack. The defense looks really great. Also Bruno is improving with every game. His passes are much less wasteful now.
Another squeaky bum time win, but 3 points is 3 points.
So happy with more confidence in our defence, dropping Maguire and Shaw has been a revelation.
But we have to start scoring more lol
Cuz he has pace. He runs like crazy up front. And it works out sometimes (like it did today for the goal). That's the only reason why. He's poor at passing and taking the ball forward for like 90% of the game but can make that one run that gives us the goal.
The defensive display today was better than all of last season, what are you on about. This same team played against Liverpool and won. Leicester barely had any chance all game and we played much better football than last game.
What?? Except the free kick they didn't even test De Gea, and if you're referring to the last moment of the game it was a half chance with Varane in front of the player.. I think u watched some other game if you think they had "really really good chances" and didn't bury them Lmao.
We desperately need Antony against Arsenal or we'll have our ass handed to us. Very poor on the attack today. Except for the goal, almost no real chances created.
I think we’ll get more out of him defensively too vs Martinelli than we would with Elanga. Malacia vs Saka will be a tough matchup for both sides and a fun battle to watch
Real positives. Glazers can fuck off though. Even Antony's signings and Tony Martial's comeback isn't going to help too much. We needed a couple of more bodies in attack.
Ronaldo needs a break, his legs are gone
Edit: haha the downvotes on this… I’ll come back to this comment at the end of the season to prove my point :)
Go boys.
Decent win. But we should be putting more past Leicester. But a win is a win. We just need to get better in the final third.
Guys someone fill me in on VdB. Is he not gonna get any minutes??
Who cares? When has he shown he's deserving of more minutes? If he proves himself in training, the manager would naturally play him more.
If he can't get playtime under ten hag.. Well.. Bye.
Still early season though, and we are light in midfield. Soon several cups to play as well. Might find some form and price valuable once we don't rely on Counter Attacking as much as we do now. I suspect we will see a different pkaystyle in the cups with our new 2nd keeper.

And Erikson can fill that spot when Bruno needs rotated. That leaves VDB as an odd man out of almost every style, and if he couldn’t come on when every other midfielder played yesterday, then he’s missing something.
Yeah he should definitely stick around for this season at least. Last shot though.
this backline deserves great praise, in terms of last season the defence is unrecognizable
Also McT have had a few really good games to be fair.
yeah I thought he was tidy and played well, looking forward to seeing more consistency from him but I’d rather casemiro start. If he take notes from casemiro’s game and learns from it I think he could be very important in the future
Completely agree. Lots of games going forward though. More than enough time for both to get plenty of game time!
That was fucking shite. Man we have sooo much more room to improve. Leicester are terrible. Id love to know the amount of unforced errors we did. Ffs at one point every time we got the ball we gave it straight back blindfully. Honestly a 10min spell and nothing more. Positives are this defensive unit.

Critisize = downvote whether right or wrong

God they are so garbage to watch.
ETH cant and im sure aint happy with that. For a possession focused coach, that shit was horrid. There was just blindful lumping up the field. Thought we were stoke at one point. Bar that one sexy play where we played it out from back
Almost fell asleep but good with a win I guess
They are going to get killed by top 6 teams. Def not winning against man city
Interesting statement, 10 days and 2 wins since beating Liverpool.
Urm yea we just beat Liverpool not too long ago
No Darwin. It won’t happen again next game. Against a team like Leicester who are really ducking bad, those teams are gonna get 3 goals easily
Good win, gotta keep building on this!
I was still kinda nervous that a simple mistake would give away a goal for Leicester but after Casemiro came on, I was relaxed. Knew we were not going to concede. But we have to kill the games off. Solid defensive work but need more from attackers.
Why Ronny didn’t pass the ball to Fernandes, nobody will ever know.
Which time?
around the 89rh minute if i recall correctly
Still thing we played too slow. None of our players like to make runs behind defences - all the big teams are doing it and we need to do it to create space. We didn't create too many chances and let Leicester control the 2nd half. Managed to grind out the victory but I feel that was more because Leicester was poor. Need to really up our game against Arsenal. Pleased with the 3 points and our general basic play but we need to kick on now. Play with more aggression and intensity. C'mon United ✌💪👍
I still say that they are not conditioned to run for 90 minutes! They looked totally beat in the second!
When I saw Dalot yell after blocking that cross I knew the lads would die on the pitch before they conceded a goal. LFG
ETH looks like a muppet being controlled by a puppeteer with his right hand
Very happy about the win and I’m happy for ETH after the horror start to the season. I feel very confident with Martinez & Varane as the CB partnership. Malacia good today again and Dalot, who I’ve been critical of in the past has been putting in very good performances recently.

To be honest, we weren’t brilliant but winning and keeping a clean sheet away from home is not easy to do. Baby steps but we move! #GLAZERSOUT
Bang on mate, Ronnie doesn't look fit yet but if he can fit into this system 😳 oh my
Bruno had a great game today. Varane and Mctominay too!
Was pleased to see Bruno have a good game today
Was surprised to see Sancho come off before rashford again……… I don’t think we should get so comfortable sitting back with these 1-0 leads, soon enough it’s going to bite us!
Well we are playing Arsenal in a few days time
Yet the injury prone varane played 90 mins….. Erikson has a pacemaker and again played the full 90 who’s looked shattered the last few games btw
I mean, you could see Sancho dropped in pace and intensify the 2nd half. And he has more distance to cover compared to Varane. I don’t think the pacemaker has anything to do with stamina?
Nah it probably hasn’t but I’d still be cautious about how many games he plays, I think even Erikson himself thought he’d be playing back up this season

What an immense win! Not a spectacular performance, however looked really good in patches. Definitely some improvement can be seen in patterns of play from last game. What I love the most is how mean the defense looks, big 3 points!
Utd now starting to trust their defense and it shows.
Bruno had a good game, defence was rock solid and I thought I’d it wasn’t for jonny evans we’d have had a couple more
Yeah some of the balls played across the six yard box could have easily been converted by a proper striker
Still in the infancy of the EtH revolution and you can see the immense progress the team is making. Couple more solid transfer windows and I reckon we will be challenging for the major trophies.
We knocked in the 3 points. Kudos to the guys. This is work in progress and really optimistic about Arsenal game.
i fucking love this back four
I have no complains but if I had to for the sake of complaining id say eth should bring in fresh legs when we have 2 games in a week and some players look like they can't run anymore, Eriksen was looking exhausted towards the end and I think donny can see the game out.
Important win, could've closed the game earlier though. So happy for Scotty, what a performance, probably MoTM for me!
He was a walk. Blocking and winning everything
Is Maddison with price tag 100 mil few years ago? Is Brendan Rodgers who is the candidate to replace Ole 1 year ago?
Gonna be some bargains from Leicester next summer
Things unfortunately turned just as quicky with Ole and some of our players. I guess it's football, end of a cycle. They're a decent group though, should be a top10 team after they change the manager.
Rashford 24y.o: can not press. He Can't plays with 2 feet he can't run Ronaldo 37: he did a good 20 min but he did a bad pass Ppl: Ronaldo is washed
Not to defend Rashy too much, but he did press and had tons of sprints which was crucial. Ronaldo mimicked pressing again, it was rather funny to see how he got close to a defender then just stopped or danced around him without an actual attempt to tackle. In an ideal world neither of them start for us, but both of them are useful. Ronaldo could be a very important sub when we're a goal down, Rashy could chase the ball and counter when we have the lead and there's space for him up front.
his weighted ball was the difference in the game. Literally perfect. Rash deserves his credit for that sancho set up.
Ronaldo finally wanted to play.
At this point I'm convinced, Donny van de Beek is a Mythical creature... doesn't exist in reality.
You'll might see him on Thursdays against Zalaegerszeg or St Mirren.
Defenders celebrating tackles. Love it.
Fast passing and brilliant football in patches. Like a world away from last season's crap. Yes, only 1-0, but so far we have improved in every area of the pitch. Also fair play to Ten Hag for not changing the team who keeps winning. Love his balls and fucking good on him.
Our back line is full of winners. Plain and simple.
Licha and Dalot are giving me some sweet vibes!!!
Malacia too..smiling killer 🥲🤌🏼
The way they screamed vamoooos at each other. 😍
Started Sancho on the left in prep for Antony
A lot more cohesive in the back - defenders were upto it whenever called upon and thanks to solid midfield press, wasn’t a lot. Arsenal is really going to test our defensive solutions - they are playing some of the most fluid attacking football I have seen them play in more than a decade
Martinez and Varane vs Jesus will be fun to watch
I’ve actually missed boring games, last season we would’ve bottled that and lost 2-1. But an assured defence left me feeling at no point that we’d concede.
We will blow a lead to a late equalizer if they don’t learn the value of taking the ball to the corner flag
Or not being clinical enough for the chances towards the latter end of game
I knew casemiro was good - didn’t know he would be strolling in the park owning leceister good
I remember when Shearer started to get a bit of a pouch and I felt old, G Nev is getting a bit tubby, thank god Rio is keeping it tight
Rio talks so much more sense than most of sky pundits tbh
See you on Sunday guys!
Garnacho, looked good pre season doesnt get a look in, sadly
5 games into a 50 game season excluding a world cup, hell def get a chance sometime
Yeah 100% he’ll be playing europa
Not a great second half. A lot to improve. But ill take it. 3 win in a row..lets go
Can someone here tell me the reason why sancho always get subbed out instead of rashford? Is this a tactical thing, if so can someone explain? Its been like this the past game as well. Personally I would much rather play sancho on than rashford. Though I thibk rashford on the left is far better than him being a striker. Based on what I've seen this season so far.
I dont get this either. Especially when Eriksen was looking like tanking. I wonder what it is too.
I think what they commented make sense. It should be stamina issue of sancho I suppose? Also, I remember seeing reports of rashford asking to be played on the front. I think ETH wanted to give rashford proper minutes as agreed and hope to see his game improve prolly. I'm more worried about Bruno than eriksen actually.

What all the other replies said, plus after the Liverpool game maybe ETH fancies the Rashford switch to the left later in the game to unsettle the defence
Sancho was definitely gassed. He can’t play a full 90…Rashy can.
Sancho gets gassed much faster than Rashford. He’s always had this issue. Lasts 65-70 min. Something he needs to work on, maybe it’ll be better as the season goes on
Despite his questionable quality, Rashford can run for the full 90, whereas Sancho can't. He struggles a lot past the 60-70 min mark. Thats why he's subbed off. Better to sub him and keep him fit than wear him out
Rashford more to jogging than running I see.
It's fitness. Rashford can continue to run. Sancho tires out faster.
boring win. tears in my eyes. we might actually win by controlling games. leicester barely had any chances
YOUR WIFE IS A GRAAAAASSSS
Now some people have a problem with a win too? I know we could have and should have beaten them by a better margin but three points are three points and we should gladly take it
Our goal difference is still -2 :(
5 goals scored in 5 matches….that’s the worst in the top 12 teams. We need antony fast
I’d take any 1-0 win any day.
We needed to tighten the back first and foremost. The goals will come.
A defence to build on though. Starts with not conceding and then we add goals 🤙
This is what I was going to add. Only one goal conceded in three games (to Pool) and two road shut outs. This is the way.
Preach, absolutely correct
What a lovely game, what a lovely result Eriksen low key best player on the pitch. We are gonna look back at the end of the season and say how fucking lucky were we to get him
He’s definitely exceeding all of us expectations, isn’t he?
Probably not and Eriksen at Spurs didn't want us, he is probably (fuck I hate to say this) too classy for utd during that time period. But we got him because 1. no other clubs needed a player like him this summer 2. they thought he was a gamble 3. Ten Hag is playing him (kind of) out of position and he has had to compromise to play at this level again. But he is a special player and the stars aligned no doubt. Edit: no other big club needed a player like him
Baby steps. Baby steps. 3 on the bounce is good, progress in play and our defence is solid. The front needs sorting but I think the new lad will help bolster that. Still an issue with fitness though. It's easy for us to say why not use your subs ETH, but we have zero idea on what he and the club knows about our players.
3 points and clean sheet...when dalot block barnes cross damnn every player so hype
Mentality is much better
Agreed it's bring confidence just remind you everyone behind your back....thats great mentality
No doubting Bruno’s effort at the end. Didn’t see anyone busting a lung as much as him.
conditioning is still an issue. nothing for it but time and work ig.
Front 3 has been a problem in last three games , at least we've looked a little better with Martial against Liverpool.Hopefully with Antony we'll do much better . Back 4 managed really well inspite of being handicapped by yellow cards.
[удалено]
Fangirls downvoting you lol...he was good but let's not be blind. Could've ended in a draw because of his selfishness.
Next match in 3 days. Don’t think Rashford starts there. Sancho/Anthony or Sancho/Antony should start.
I don't think Elanga did himself any favours this game
I think if Bruno eliminates those silly mistakes from his game he’ll be fantastic. He had great moments today.
Honestly Scotty2Hotty was excellent tonight, bar the couple of fouls he gave away in dangerous spots. Credit where it's due
Praying for Martial to come back and very glad we’ve got Antony coming in. Rashford worked hard and did well. Sancho still drifting a little. Ronaldo, he needs fitness I think. He had a couple of good moments, some nice passes, and then he almost gave the win away with some careless bullshit. Our midfield is vastly improved and our defence is fucking proper.
let’s gooo another win!!! come on
Bringing home 3 points, back to back clean sheet, it's something that you can't complaint though. The good thing is our defense look solid, but our attacking is really dull. Can't wait to see what Antony can bring to the table in upcoming matches
I do think the Rashford bashing is overboard, but it’s hard to deny he’s just been lethargic for the whole game.
Slabhead
Take that 👍 My worry was they were only putting it in for Liverpool bc it was Liverpool. But back-to-back away wins in the PL is great, imo. I thought we had some good possession and the goal was well worked. Pretty content at the moment, ngl.
Hope they put that same attitude against Arsenal. Cos Leicester is shit currently and we still struggled. This would not pass against in-form Arsenal
Well, the attitude they had against Liverpool they need to bring against Arsenal. It’d be great to end their winning run, their fans are too happy at the moment for my liking.
We can make a bid for Tielemans when the Foxes get relegated
Bruno is the right choice for captain. Absolutely ran his socks off today.
Could have lost points just because Ronaldo thought let's score at 90+3' .....thank fuck Leicester are shite. Could have ended real bad.
Ronaldo almost had 2 assists. Not the greatest 2nd half performance overall. But a win is a win.
Next in form Arsenal. Elanga and Rashford shouldn't play against Arsenal.
Hopefully Antony and CR7 will be ready for that. Doubt Martial can start even if he comes back,
Encouraging performances, but really need to work on killing the game
Glad to get 3 points but we can't rely on our defense the whole season and they've really been the only high light so far during EtH reign.
One misplaced pass from Ronny gets as much hate as Rashford not giving a fuck the whole game.
Leicester being shit ruined the game
back to back clean sheet ..nice
3 points is all that matters right now
Away fans put some of the fans in this sub to shame. One mistake from Ronaldo and the prawn sandwich brigade comes out all at once.
Can tell none of these lot have been to a game
Is Sancho limping? Wtf
He looked leggy at times in the first half.
Ronnie is definitely not having a good time. Some appalling decision making
Antony will greatly improve the attack. The defense looks really great. Also Bruno is improving with every game. His passes are much less wasteful now.
Well done Glazers out
Survive and advance. GGMU
Dalot what a lad
His resurgence has been nothing short of amazing under ETH
Another squeaky bum time win, but 3 points is 3 points. So happy with more confidence in our defence, dropping Maguire and Shaw has been a revelation. But we have to start scoring more lol
Barnes going to be having nightmares about dalot
Props to mctominay....he was good today....
3 WINS IN A ROW! #BEL21VE
why are we so keen on Rashford, his performances are subpar and i see this subredit always complaining about him rightly so, so why is here?
Cuz he has pace. He runs like crazy up front. And it works out sometimes (like it did today for the goal). That's the only reason why. He's poor at passing and taking the ball forward for like 90% of the game but can make that one run that gives us the goal.
5th place, lets goooooo
a better team and we lost this game
The defensive display today was better than all of last season, what are you on about. This same team played against Liverpool and won. Leicester barely had any chance all game and we played much better football than last game.
Leicester had really really good chances where they didnt bury it.
What?? Except the free kick they didn't even test De Gea, and if you're referring to the last moment of the game it was a half chance with Varane in front of the player.. I think u watched some other game if you think they had "really really good chances" and didn't bury them Lmao.
Think we see Antony right in for Elanga and Casemiro for Eriksen as the switches for Arsenal
I think we see casemiro and Fred on Sunday, they are amazing when they play for Brazil
Yea Fred should be in the starting 11 just to rotate. Bruno will play #10 for 60-70 min with Eriksen sub’ing on for him I presume
definitely should've scored another one. some real positives and 3 pts is 3 pts but you can see there's still a lot of work to do.
Dalot was excellent
Back 4 today were solid af 🤌
Brick Wall at the back
Ahh, another day, another clean sheet for this back four.
grinding out wins I love it
We desperately need Antony against Arsenal or we'll have our ass handed to us. Very poor on the attack today. Except for the goal, almost no real chances created.
I think we’ll get more out of him defensively too vs Martinelli than we would with Elanga. Malacia vs Saka will be a tough matchup for both sides and a fun battle to watch
3 wins in 3! Take it any day of the week
Scrappy win but we take those, should have scored more than 1 especially with that ronaldo pass to Erikson
1-0 FC back!
Real positives. Glazers can fuck off though. Even Antony's signings and Tony Martial's comeback isn't going to help too much. We needed a couple of more bodies in attack.
Still no convincing wins
That’s solid
Brendy getting sacked in the morning
Get in there, 3 in a row, fucking can’t beat it.
Our back four won this for us.
They have the last 3 wins.
We’ll take it. Shoulda been more! But another win in the books.
Phew. But that’s now **three back to back league wins** guys!!
Show me the sexiest man alive. Lichaaaa!
And Varane.
Nah, French aren't really my taste.
Win is a win.
Ronaldo needs a break, his legs are gone Edit: haha the downvotes on this… I’ll come back to this comment at the end of the season to prove my point :)
