We are not Bolton or Stoke to be fielding a midfielder who can't play midfield just to wait for his occasional knock downs.

That na 1vs4 header wey he win there ?
Football won't be pretty every time,we just saw one of the advantages of having a big man on the field.
He was average the whole game but he came up big when it mattered.

The part in bold describes the typical EPL player. The type of players you all tell us can survive in the EPL

Kirchhoff spent over 5 years in the Burndisleaguedown and we saw the dividend of his football brain yesterday.... oooshi

I thought i was the only one that noticed martial excessive dribbling, maybe sometime on the bench will calm his nerves.

It is annoying but that's one of the problems with young players; decision making

chrisley024:
Worst display of the season maybe but 3 points in bag and kudos to Rooney


Seriously, Martial should be cautioned. His holding unto the ball and trying too many dribbles are becoming disgusting. Reason I don't see him as a CF.

That is what happens when a young play comes into a team and he is the best player or seen as the saviour of the team. Subconsciously he buys into the hype and starts trying to do too much. Also there is nobody of experience playing well enough to have that confidence to caution him.
Same thing happened to Adnan

Important win. Great to see Rooney back in form. That break he had for the first half of the season looks to have helped him so hopefully he'll start showing us his real quality now.

Don't Praise him yet.

Una see how Fellani can sometimes be effective ?
Liverpool dey run ring around us from the beginning but one corner don change am.

Thank you rooney

if we have to play Fellaini then LVG might one to 4-1-4-1 or 4-1-2-3 formation. Fellaini as one of the pivot midfield player is a ticking bomb. he can't play quick passes and his passing is below par for a pivot midfielder.

Bothwick-Jackson abi wetin him call himself, that bobo was as good as a spectator. I am not sure he won a single tackle, ninjas were just ghosting past him.

I hope we pick the maximum 6 points against Soton and Stoke at Old trafford then see if we can participate in the ongoing bonanza at Stamford bridge.

Spot on! You sabi watch ball. If Adnan was blooded during the last 2 seasons of Fergie's time when there were other good, vocal and more experienced players like Roi, Evra, and a top-notch Rooney, Adnan would have been a better player. I was super pissed when Martial made a mess of a sweet 1-2 ball he was supposed to play with Mata in the second half.

Thank God o

That calls for celebration though the performance was not so good.

Make Arsenal lose by fire! Lol

Thank for talking this talk
If I mention this wan it will just seem I like I enjoy being a contrarian
Make we no overhype this guy we did this samething with Januzaj.
when we've mediocre season by our standard we latch on to whoever give us small hope.
He played like Memphis today.

Rooney's first goal at Anfield since January 2005

If we keep getting 3 points with these poor performances, people wont be complaining too much.

it is all expected though, Only so much we can expect from Martial this season and for me he has surpassed my expectations despite been poor today and mostly playing from wide positions since he's arrived. How many 19/20 yr olds show consistently good decisions in their first season?

Wazza is back... 5 in 4

Young was playing rubbish before his injury self
The whole team has been poor

Harsh as this might sound, i'm glad United failed in UCL group stages. Let's face it, this team is uber useless and dimwitted. Every other remaining teams in UCL would've raped us easily if we'd qualified. We deserve to lose this match. For long spells, i was doubting if that was really United playing or its ghost. Liverfools ought to have won, they were just lacking that extra sharp striker to rip our net apart. This team is an eyesore. We need up to 6 new players. Only DDG, Schinerdelin, Smalling and Martial are worthy of not being sold. No positives at all. Thank God for the transfer ban on Madrid, if not, DDG will leave after this season.

You are right, he was damn too selfish today.

He has played as a wide man for most of his career.
Am starting to see times when he should've passed to the player in a better scoring position but he won't.
Its a fine line Martial and the coaches need to tread but with decent advice he go realize him potential.

Afrodoc has made a valid point, we can hardly blame Martial, it's leaders like Rooney, Mata, Carrick, Schweini and co that should be talking to him but unfortunately, even the so called senior players need someone talking to...
It's similar case with Stones in Everton where an awful Jagielka can't scold him for overplaying in defense...

The way this bothwick jackson dude always dey position him hand when running always dey make man laff.

SIRcumalot:

Yes Martial played like the young player that he is but please do not compare him with Memphis.

If Memphis plays half of the rubbish Martial played today we would not be on his neck. Memphis is a total disappointment to the team and considering he is wearing the 7shirt even makes him look more stupid.


Modric was voted worst player in laliga when he just arrived but has turned things around let's hope Memphis does the same if he remains at OT.

Liverpool have now lost 12 times against United in the Premier League era, more defeats than against any other visitors.

.. 4 against LVG. can we play Liverpool every week plsss.

We won legitimately. All other things can go to blazes.
It's been long we even had a good performance against Liverpool @ Anfield, save for last season.
I'll take the performance with the points away to perennial foes anyday.
Arsenal were held only some days ago conceding 3 goals in the process, we should take the points humbly & move on abeg!

I read he was born with his arms not fully straight/formed so needed surgery to correct.

Oh I have always wondered why he runs that way.

The Lord is his Strength!

Thanks for the information...

I think we should forget how we got the 3 points, rather appreciate getting it. I wasn't expecting even a point out of the Match, but I am happy we won against our arch-rival.
