cheesy Checked livescore now and saw d scores.

Abeg how the match be generally cos i no watch am.
elampiro, uniquegem, elrony, chrisley024, lana1 et al

For the first time this season, referee bad decisions went our way, that was the major advantage we had today. West Ham slightly had the upper hand then they suddenly and unjustly went a man down when their man went on a a reckless tackle against Jones.

Our players became too careful because they thought Mark Dean might correct the error by sending one of our players off. We were virtually not marking them anymore. But we dominated without proper penetration. Lingard was poor, he had opportunities of taking on their right back but he always reversed and passed back. Darmian on that left side also didn't help matters. Mkhitaryan was nowhere near his best, he was just there. Valencia was trying to bite from the right, but he missed an opportunity to put us ahead, he hit straight at the goalkeeper when he was unmarked from 4 yards and Lingard couldn't put the rebound into an empty net. He hit the upright from three yards with an empty net to score.

Second half, Darmian was off and Mata came one. Rojo went to left back while Carrick paired Jones in central defence. At one point it could have been disastrous for us when Valencia and Rojo erroneously played a man onside, it was DeGea who came to the rescue.

Rashford was brought in and our attacking play immediately improved. He got behind the defence line easily getting to the byline and cutting back. On his second or third attempt he successfully cancelled his markers and cut back to Mata who fired in from close range.

The second goal was scored by Ibrahimovic. He is now second on the top scorer chat behind Costa. He is a born scorer. Although I would still want the management to put a big bid on Aubameyang.

Poor performance from us even though we played against 10men for like 80 mins.


Herrera, Pogba, Ibra need rest

Ibra needs rest especially. I don't see why Herrera and Pogba can't play every game. They are quite young and Pogba has got the physique.

The only thing is I don't think Herrera is capable of displaying his workhorse style in every game because it's definitely not his style but without that, there's no way he would be in the team in the first place. Hence, he has to continue. I think he needs some rest though.

Herrera and Rojo play with passion different from the other lads, I'd add Valencia...I appreciate their efforts, most improved players

Lingard is always poor. Simple things always hard for that boy. I dont just understand. He will score a brilliant goal today and then off for several months after that playing rubbish for us.
Scored against Chelsea, Off till FA Cup Final.
Scored in Community Shield, then Off till Fenerbache game.
Scored against Fenerbache and he hasn't been seen since then.

He's a squad player and has no business anywhere near the starting 11

so every bad call against Manchester United since August mean nothing because it's against Manchester United? As a matter of fact, Manchester United are 13 points off the pace basically to officiating error!
Do you see the kind of penalties awarded to Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs?

SMH
we are 13point off the pace because we can't close out games.

Do u know how many bad call referees, Not once, twice or thrice have made against us?

Omo ur comment tire us
I talk my own,you talk your own we no need gree.
We don get a few calls go our way too,anybody here remember Rojo two foot tackles two games in a roll?
show me the team the refs never do strong for this league?
I wanted a fairly contested match,we didnt get that today.

Na some of una even get time to dey upload pics and list some of the numerous decisions that have gone against us this season. Me no get time for haters.


2 wrong decisions in our favour, hopefully many more to come. That's the only way I can be appeased, especially after that morõnic referee denied Zlatan the chance to make history 2 days ago. That one pain me pass. May more wrong decisions work I our favour, Amen!!


P.S: Mourinho is very foolish for benching Martial for yesterday's match, I don't care about any silly excuse anyone would put up for him. He acts dumb sometimes. Martial has been more on the bench this season than the field, what is he resting him for? And to make matters worse, he's playing Darmian at the LB again even after several pathetic displays from the Italian in that position. How can a good coach not notice Darmian is very useless in that position? If he tries this madness again, the thunder that will fire him will be too hard to describe.

He's having a pretty poor game already and on the verge on losing control of the match. So you think a manager shouldnt complain about a ref's poor performance just because he benefits from the biggest decisions of the match?
He always complains about bad officiating simply because it doesn't go his way. That's hypocrisy. Most if not all managers are hypocrites anyway.

Until Shaw is fully fit, we have no option than to play Darmian, though I think he shouldn't be playing for Utd at the moment. Blind is awful in that position when we are under pressure. The only thing he brings to the table is his calmness and sublime passes. Against lowly placed teams at OT where we'll dominate, he'd do well. But it would be costly to start him when we're away to a spirited West Ham side. Antonio would bully him every now and then. Darmian is less calamitous in this regard.

Young has lost his confidence and although he might seem enthusiastic he's inefficient. The only thing he has at the moment are his DJ skills.

As for Martial, Mou has his reasons for benching him. It could be to rest him since he played on new year's eve or it could be a simple squad rotation.


Our next 3 games are at OT. Let's hope we win the first 2 with panache and beat Liverpool as well (who, BTW will play away to Soton on the 11th before coming to OT on the 15th. Utd will play Hull on the 10th at OT)

Sir Alex Ferguson:: "decisions evens themselves out in the course of the season"
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:30am On Jan 03, 2017
He [Mourinho] just told me to stay wide and try to isolate the full-back and we did in the end. I'm just following orders, of course!

"I'm very pleased with the three points. We're in and around the top four. It's very tight between sixth and second so we have to take it game by game and try to win every game."


- Marcus Rashford
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:32am On Jan 03, 2017
"We needed to win. We knew about the results from our rivals so we needed to get the three points.

"It started to feel like one of those nights. Marcus did a great job on the wing and I just tried to put the ball in the back of the net.

"[Mourinho told me] just try to score, try to create something. There were some spaces in between the defenders and I just tried to create some chances. With the help of everyone, we won and we continue on this run of results."


- Juan Mata
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 10:35am On Jan 03, 2017
"I was happy with my choices in the second half, with Mata and Rashford, because they gave us what we needed.

"In the past two matches, Rashford was absolutely crucial to us. I know that they [West Ham] don't have another right-back on the bench and I felt that Marcus could finish the job for us."

"It's a bit of everything but he's the one who is responsible. He is very professional, very mature. For sure people in the academy and Mr [Louis] Van Gaal had a contribution to his formation, which we'll try to end in the next couple of years.

"He's a Manchester United player with Manchester United DNA and with Manchester United quality."


- Jose Mourinho

Mourinho: I don't need another striker because I have Rashford


Rashford came off the bench in United’s 2-1 win over Middlesbrough when we were still a goal behind. He made some great runs in to the box and should have won a penalty.

Mourinho has confirmed he’s a big fan of the player and is happy with the progress he’s making.


The biggest trust I give him is when I told you that I don’t want another striker. I don’t want one. Why? Because I have Rashford.

He’s always there. He’s always selected, he’s on the team, he’s on the bench when he doesn’t start. He comes on and he has different kinds of experiences.

What happened to him last season was really fast and was a consequence of a situation that we are not having this season.

He’s fine. He’s going in the right direction. He’s a good kid, a good professional with the right mentality. He’s always ready to learn and improve. This kid is going in the right direction.

He knows he’s learning every day and understands that. By being with the team, being in training with the team and even being on the bench and playing sometimes when we play counter-attacking football.

I’ve no problem with him at all. He’s a proper professional. I pick him because he can play in so many positions. I like to rotate attacking players.

The biggest surprise is Rojo's confidence in possession and his passing, the dude was all about clearing the ball when it got to him before now but look how much he has improved. People say Mourinho doesn't do much in terms of youth development but to be honest, the improvement of Rojo, Herrera, Rashford's overall game etc is a testament to something the media fails to or deliberately ignore cos they never want to give props to Mou.
