The Scott show is on.

Pogba has McTominay posters in his bedroom.

Lovely pair of goals from McTominay. But absolute League One stuff from Leeds.

[The Artful Dodger]

Bamford is garbage 

[Lucas]

It would be nice just to have one game where we just settle into it for 10mins or so, keep it tight, feel our way into it...

But no. 

[Bluewolf]

Sort it out Leeds for fucks sake... 

[Dan+]

That's just funny.

[N U F C]

3-0!

Never saw this coming

[Dave]

Well... This has escalated quickly.

[Bluewolf]

Can somebody point Leeds in the direction of the goal... the other one at the other end of the pitch

[Danny]

Oh Leeds

[Danny]

Is this gunna be a 3-3?

[6666]

Man Utd will go 2 points off the top of they win their game in hand. Does Solskjaer deserve credit or has everyone else just been shit?

[Rick]

Honestly, Bamford is so fucking frustrating to watch. 

[N U F C]

4-0

Leeds an absolute embarrassment at defending set pieces

[Rick]

Urgh. Kalvin Phillips was awful there

No lol

[Rick]

Well this is a massive letdown I must say. Didn’t think Leeds were gonna be this terrible. 

[N U F C]

One back!

Spectacularly poor from Leeds here. Could see our second 7-0 of the weekend. Imagine waiting all these years to have another pop at this lot and they churn this garbage out?

Unpopular opinion because everyone's waited so long for Leeds to come back up but they could still find themselves in a relegation battle. For all the praise they've got they're going to be 14th-15th after this weekend unless they make a miraculous comeback. Sheffield United are dross but there are two other spots which are pretty hard to call. You know teams like Newcastle and West Brom are going to get a certain amount of points from the shithousing of their managers while Bielsa won't be flexible with his approach. Fulham are showing signs of life, I'd put Leeds a bit ahead of them and Brighton but you can't put in performances like this too often. A naive approach executed poorly.

[Bluewolf]

That's 9 goals they have conceded from set pieces... I know Lucas was saying he will just try and enjoy it while they were up regardless but I reckon he would have more fun if he covered his balls in pedigree chum and let the dog have a gnaw on them... 

[Mel81x+]

McTominay and Lindelof are on the score-sheet. I suppose anything is possible this weekend.

The big competition for the title is Liverpool and City, Liverpool have had a short term period of having 5 or 6 first teamers out and City have been shit this season similar to last.

The season prior to Mourinho being sacked United finished second with 81 points, that as a minimum should be Ole’s target as he’s had freedom to improve the side since Ole left with big money spent on Fernandes, Wan Bissaka and Maguire, choosing to sell Lukaku too. United being above the likes of Spurs, Leicester and Everton shouldn’t be considered a great achievement. They should be trying to compete for the title.

I think Ole has clearly given the likes of Fernandes, Rashford and Martial freedom to play as a unit which he deserves credit for, but overall there’s not much about the team, no real style of play and he’s mainly just relying on the abundance of talent United have to pull them through.

[Cicero]

Really is why I never bought into the "Ole disasterclass" narrative. 

5 points off Liverpool and have a game in hand.
