Crystal palace VS Man united

[marko]

Good away win for united and hardly fought victory, Zlatan and Pogba provided each other with assists, Bailly seems to be not fully fit, Rooney is finished as a player, we were certainly missing the Armenian, our next 4 games are all games we can win but sometimes football can be so unpredictable, slowly but steady we ate gaining traction now, Zlatna has scored 9 premiership goals, just 3 less than Costa 12, Zlatan will definitely score a lot of goals this season provided he stays fit, Quite nice to see Pogba providing assists now, the fight for the top 4 will be intense

What's going on with United fans? You dey open thread AFTER game?

Good win for your boys, you dominated the game.

[oloye]

I cannot believe no one opened a match thread..what happened to all the manU fans?

[Coach]

Pogba was supposedly unplayable today, opinions of the audience.

He had a good game. Even Rooney (who was angry when taken off) was good.

Rooney was angry about the ref's failure to give a penalty for that blatant handball by Joe Ledley (and then incorrectly disallowing Johnny Kill's goal for a bogus offside about 45 seconds later). That is why he gave the 4th official an earful as he came off (and then smashed his boots against the side of the dugout).

How could the ref not see that blatant handball?! Ledley actually hit the ball away with his arm like a volleyball player!

So we should expect some fine coming up?

Perhaps for Zlatan. Cabaye thinks Zlatan ran across him and knocked him down in an off the ball incident. Ref was only about 5 yards away. Not sure if it was serious enough for retrospective punishment.

One thing for certain, rooney would not have scored the goal zlatan scored yesterday, thats why he is in the team and a regular, 35 years old for that matter

...the officials from that match may get banned and or fined. Unfortunately english fa don't out loud how screwed up their refs are.

watched the 1H.

those possession stats are a farce. moving the ball round the center circle back and forth was good but annoying.

Rooney should have had 2 goals by half time. His passing was poor, good to see he is playing a cameo role this season
Bailly gave me a scare with he knee issues, interesting to see him at RB
Not sure what Mata's role was in the 1H.
Pogba was having fun, dominating Palace at will.

You can see where we are headed with JM. Controlling the ball and looking to score.
Last season we were controlling the ball and never looked like scoring.

WE are still heading for the Europa like last season.

[tfco]

we let CP into the game in the 2H.

nice goal but wth was Pogba doing in defence?
Rooney is truly -1, he should have had a brace in this game.

That PK non-call and the subsequent disallowed Mata goal are just the fine margins that could push us out of the top 4
Those 2 decisions were just costly.

overall good game, but this is a game we should have killed off by HT

I didn't watch the Manure game tho Jose na my Uncle...how do U expect us to do wiff CP on Saturday?

Are you not older than him? Are you like Essien calling is age mate "daddy"?

Tricky because CP have some truly dangerous players but I expect Chelsea to whoop them conveniently over 90 minutes. Conte's Chelsea is simply too disciplined and compact for most teams to figure out and handle at this point after the aberration against Arsenal earlier in the season.

"Unplayable"? ... He did his usual stuff (flashes of skill and raking crossfield passes mixed with careless surrendering of possession and thundering shots into Row Z). He is very good going forward, and also a defensive liability. He is like Toure in the sense that when his team is attacking he is excellent, but when defending is not a great asset.

No coincidence that he plays best when he has two other central midfielders behind/beside him to do the thinking (Pirlo/Carrick) and running (Marchisio/Andrew Smith) for him.

Wow you are truly a vile person. I see only white people "do the thinking? "

For your information, Pogba is a number 10! Do you worry about Iniesta' s defensive ability? Or because Pogba is "Big and Black? "
