I think everyone isn't giving the team enough credit. From what I saw we controlled the whole first half. Lovely passing of the ball we just couldn't break them down. Second half was better due to the goals. Pretty much the same as the first half lovely passing and control of the game. Lvg clearly said to them at half time go at them. make runs at them and put pressure on. When young was been interviewed he said he was told to make runs at the defence. I assume martial was told the exact same thing by the way he was playing. So I don't think it's all that bad. Don't get me wrong were not perfect yet.

We controlled it but we didn't go anywhere or look likely to create anything, second half when the game was open we looked better

I thought we played well yesterday. We moved the ball really well.
Liverpool came for the draw imo, hence the way they set up. But once we scored we forced them to push out and ended up winning comfortably in the end.
For me, the level of individual performances have been very good. No one is playing poorly. Everyone looks fit and sharp. That has to bode well for continued team progression.
I think next week's game against Southampton is a big game for us in terms of momentum. If we go there, play well and win, I think there will be a growing belief that we can push City.

I just think they deserve a bit of credit. They went and done what was needed to be done. confidence boost after the loss to Swansea. Young changed the whole game for me to be fair he should of got man of the match

How far into the season can you go tho saying well we got the result to get our confidence going after a defeat. We could have 90% possession, nice passing and looking sharp but playing that way we drew 0-0, won 1-0 by an own goal, won 1-0 by a deflected goal, we lost 2-1 cz of a simple tactical change by Gary Monk and we had no plan b to combat it, we win 3-1 by a one half performance by upping our speed and tempo and playing with about of spirit. Yes we prob had less control cz we gave up possession slightly but I'd rather we gave up 10-15% possession per game and take a risky pass or run at a man and play like we did in the 2nd half, more diversity and creation playing that way but judging by LVG comments post match he obvs prefers the 1st half bizarrely so I don't see much changing and that second half is likely to be the exception rather than the rule and for me that spells too many points dropped and a bore fest like that first half.

I can say it because thus far we are winning the majority of our games and are currently sitting second in the PL after beating our fieriest rival 3.1.
The PL seems tougher than ever before. There isn't a lot of goals being scored. Teams are defending better.
Some of you lot need to be thankful you don't support Chelsea. Can you imagine how that mob feel right now? It is deja vu for that mob.
lol

Welsh red devil: I can see what your saying and I'm not saying it's the most attractive football in the world, but we weren't troubled all first half due to brilliant passing and control. the players executed everything perfectly in the first half. And then took it upon themselves or were told by lvg to up the tempo and it payed of so tactically yesterday what bad can you say about lvg and what bad can ya say about the team the did what they were told and did it very well and it worked. What's there to complain about.
7.) 13 Sep 2015 16:57:17
Yeah but we didn't trouble them either in the first half and that's kinda my point we don't really trouble many teams playing that controlled way. I'm not complaining about the result or second half cz that was more of what I want to see. I'd be skeptical tho that LVG told us to play more risqué and so worry it will go back to dull possession not troubling Southampton next time out.
8.) 13 Sep 2015 18:40:08
Fair enough mate just thought they done an excellent job yesterday. We can always hope for more from are team. Hopefully it was lvg that told them to put pressure on. Hopefully we can keep going good from this game on and challenger them blue "banker"

Hi ed002 I seen yesterday you replied to a post about a fan take over (fan based organisation) and said it wouldn't happen. I'd like to hear your view on why you think it wouldn't happen. Maybe if some of the other eds and posters could give there view on it too.
{Ed002's Note - (a) Money, (b) organisation, (c) Infrastructure, (d) Sustainability, (e) loss of sponsorship - I could go on and on. Zero chance of it happening.}
1.) 03 Sep 2015 22:25:45
You serious about a fan take over? Who could raise 1.3 billion? Unless our fans are the equivalent to the Arabs but I doubt it owning pound shops or quid bakerys.
2.) 04 Sep 2015 06:55:06
Let me go to the cash point, I'll see what I can do.
{Ed001's Note - the only way a fan trust could do it, is if one was formed which gradually bought up shares as it could. Even then, it would never get the finances together to takeover, just have a large say in what goes on.}
3.) 04 Sep 2015 09:04:13
I know it's far fetched i'm just throwing it out there to see what others think. I'm not sayin one fan to buy the whole club. Fan based group that are more intrested with what the club needs then self profiting. Surely with the amount of fans we have over 500 million. I'd think there is some multi millionaires in there. What about the red Knights. They are all lawyers and business men. Surely if they didn't think there was a distinct possibility of it happening they wouldn't be fundraising for money and putting some of there own in to

Fans raise money? I am struggling to raise 5k for a meaningful charity let alone 1.3bn for a club!
Ps didn't they already do that at FC United?
02 Sep 2015 11:46:16
GDS2. Late getting back to your response. How can you compare asda to Manchester United football club.hundreds of millions of fans have an interest in United. I don't thing a lot of people cares how asda spend there money. As a United fan everything I buy from tickets to shirts to any sort of merchandise I'd hope and expect a good percent of it goes to bettering the club and not lining the pockets of greedy business men.
1.) 02 Sep 2015 12:44:04
Then you are very naive. The whole world works for money, ever gone to work for a week then when you pay check arrives take it back to your employer and told them you didn't want it and that you did it for the love of it? No course you haven't no one has.
All clubs, all businesses, all countries, all organisations and even all religions work to make a profit for the people who own them.
2.) 02 Sep 2015 12:45:52
Then you are going to be extremely disappointed in general mate.
01 Sep 2015 22:55:31
Jamesmack8 I can completely understand why people are worried about the amount of money are club is spending on average players. At the end off the day it is are money it's money from shirt sales ticket sales and sponsorships that they only get because of the support of the fans. If a person feels the money is been spent incorrectly then they have every right to complain about it.
1.) 01 Sep 2015 23:14:51
So when you buy a shirt you are really thinking 'this money better be spent wisely' are you? When you buy things in Asda do you then look how they are spending their money too and what their stock levels are like?
2.) 01 Sep 2015 23:24:31
I'd say darmian, Shaw, Spyder and Bastian are far from average players.
That's just me though.
So your upset that we spend money and it's our money, through ticket sales and shirts etc.
So u want us to not spend money on players, thus resulting in falling behind others and not looking half as appealing to the sponsors & sponsorship deals we apparently get them too?
U can be upset about the window, some are some ain't. But don't call our players average mate, there far from that.
Chill.
3.) 01 Sep 2015 23:41:19
Actually very little of the money comes directly out of fans pockets.
We get nothing from shirt sales unless sold through the club shop for example. Any Shirts sold in JJB or Sports direct or any other source which isn't the club shop we get nothing for. But Adidas do give us 70 odd million a year to produce our shirts and sell them under license.
Match day revenue makes up about 10-15% of out turnover. The rest comes from sponsorship deals with people such as Chevrolet.
As for average players which average players have we signed? For me the only average player we signed this summer is Romero and he came in for free.
Darmian the first choice Italian RB.
Schneiderlin was one of the top midfielder performers in the league over the last couple of years.
Schweinsteiger is the world cup winning captain and is one of the top midfielders in the world.
Depay was to top scorer in Holland last season and has bags of potential.
And finally Martial is one of the top young striker talents. Likened to Henry.
Even Romero has appeared in the world cup and copa america cup finals in the last 14 months. And is the most capped Argentine goalkeeper at the ripe old age of 28.

Snappy that's a good assessment. Lvg has got most of what he wanted as he is picking the team it was a good window, if ddg signs a new contract a great window. The only thing I would be disappointed about would be if ddg signs a pre contract with Madrid in Jan as for me then his position becomes untenable. But even if he doesn't sign for us and plays out the season signed only for us then I will be happy.

Your praising valdes but yet pedro stated valdes was the person who advised him not to join United. Great professional alright slating the club that pays him. he more then likely cost us the signing of pedro.
