We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

[From Despair To Where?]

Don't often cheer a United win but today was definitely one of those days.

A good watch for the neutrals.
It could just as easily been about 10-7 with both defences dreadful.

Incidentally, a history-making start to the season with Man Utd conceding 6 at home and then scoring 6 and Liverpool going one better by conceding 7 and then later scoring 7.
All of this before Christmas.

Credit where credit is due (after all, it is the season of good will) but Man Utd thoroughly deserved their win at Everton last night.

For all the hype about Everton now pushing to be a top 4 club etc., etc.,I thought they were absolutely spineless in a game that would have brought them a step nearer a rare cup final if they won.

Were they playing for penalties?
It was a Mourinho-type display by letting the opposition have the ball, drop off and hope to create something on the break.

I felt sorry for the 2,000 Everton fans who were short changed by that performance and you could hear that they weren't impressed..

Roy Keane knows his shit. From day one he said give ole time he will come good. Would have been easy for utd to have sacked him but the board deserve some credit. Everyone wrote off cavani saying it was a desperate transfer. He’s proving doubters wrong. If the board back ole in the transfer market in January and in the summer. I think they will win the league next year. Reckon they will finish 2nd this year.

Tentatively agree with this. Make the right signings and I think they have a good shot next season.

Every time I have seen Cavani, I think he looks decent, reminds me of when Zlatan went there and is about 1000000x better than Falcao when he went there.

The issue with Cavani was he was an unplanned panic buy at the end of the transfer window

So grief was aimed at the board rather than the player. Success would be more luck than judgement

But hadn’t they been linked with him all summer?

He couldn't play the first few games as he wasn't in a covid elite athlete bubble...If they'd have really wanted him they would have got him 2 weeks earlier just to get around that

No Cavani for 3 games.
It will be interesting to see how they perform now that so many contenders are dropping points.

They can surely see the summit so much closer than for so long.
Will they get there (and stay there) or will the pressure and lack of ability show and we then see all the bull from the likes of the manager, De Gea et al as just hype?

With a visit to Anfield in a couple of weeks' time and a cup game v City to come plus tonight's league game v a rejuvenated Villa might show us a bit more.

We've recently played Leicester & Everton (3rd & 4th)

You've recently dropped points against 17th, 18th & 19th

Exactly, so when it comes to playing the big teams (ask Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester) Liverpool tend to come into their own and this failing to beat the lesser clubs prevented them from winning the League before last season.

This referee is doing a great job of closing the passing lanes

get out of the fooking way you dopey pcunt!

[LUX]

One nil United.

Come on Villa, do it for everyone not from Manchester*.


*satire klaxon.

Ps on Radio 5 the Grealish love-in is annoying

Pps Mark Lawrenson, retire now ffs.

[BR0B0T]

Michael Oliver is Villa's best defender...closes United's space brilliantly

Thought Lawro had retired, surely it’s time.

Made up for it by giving you a dubious pen

In his defence, from the original incident, it did look like a pen but delving further into it, it looks like Pogba had kicked his own leg

Still, it’s United and penalties, what else do you expect

nope...defo a pen. The angle var showed did make it look like that tbf but other angles showed the contact

The defender hits Pogba's leg which causes him to trip (one leg kicking the other)
