Administrator Stan Posted December 17, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted December 17, 2017 Very well handled by Oxlade. Just seen the interview and as uncomfortable as Coutinho may or may not have felt, AOC done brilliantly to nip it in the bud and shut the question down.

Inverted Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thought Robertson and Klavan were really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klavan is looking like our best CB on form, and I don't think anyone would have predicted that. He's looking consistent, which we haven't seen in a while in that position. Robertson got a golden opportunity with Moreno's injury - I think he's been unfortunate Moreno actually started the season well. But Robertson looks very good going forward and I think he's better in defense than Moreno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Robertson looks very good going forward and I think he's better in defense than Moreno. He's not as flashy going forward as Moreno - he's not got that winger-like pace, or his shot, but he's as useful as Moreno going forward. Today was the perfect example - he helped create the first goal with a little deft pass inside and then a run to create space for Coutinho. Its harder to notice but the contribution is there. The West Brom match was hopefully an unhappy exception. And if Liverpool start anticipating and attacking crosses better, we might see some of his deliveries getting converted too. As for the defensive side, the biggest compliment imo is that as far as I can see he's never a big talking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Great result. Impressive performance all round. Ox had a good game and deserved his MOTM award. Also went up in my estimations after that interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Robertson is a much more intelligent player, whereas Moreno has raw physical attributes. I prefer Robertson tbh. Moreno has winger like pace, but an awful cross - Robertson's delivery is much better imo, and I like what he offers going forward more than what Moreno does. He's got a golden opportunity now, I hope he keeps this form up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 10 hours ago, Redcanuck said: We are approaching the half way point of the season, everyone's played everyone (practically). If United beat Leicester next Saturday they will have 44 points after 19 games, double that and we finish with 88 points (not saying we will ) which in any normal year would be enough to finish top. It is only City's fantastic play that makes us all look like chumps. United are 8 points better off than their where at this point last year. Yeah we don't look good at times and we have caught a couple of teams, especially in August, that were playing absolutely terrible football, but all teams benefit from the schedule at times. United 's schedule is no more easier or convenient than any other team. United have played away to Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool, and the way Spurs play at Wembley, you say the only really hard away game in the second half of the season is agaislnt City. Personally I think United are having a good season, so is Chelsea, it just unfortunate for both of us that City are having a truely remarkable year. You've essentially spent as much as them, your recruitment and management haven't been good enough so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 18, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 18, 2017 Not expecting any changes tonight. Bolasie in the match day squad so he'll probably be on the bench and I imagine Sam will give him 5 minutes if we're comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted December 18, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted December 18, 2017 Goal Swansea! Fer nips in at the back after a Swansea corner. Dead atmosphere at Goodison.

Administrator Stan Posted December 18, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted December 18, 2017 Rooney misses the penalty but Calvert-Lewin gets the rebound in. It was a great save from Fabianski for the penalty though. Good reaction from Calvert-Lewin and good composure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 18, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 18, 2017 Penalty. Mesa penalised for the worst facial hair in the Premier League history. Rooney misses. Calvert-Lewin on the rebound. Let off after a poor half. Hopefully Rooney to drop deep at half time with Schneiderlin coming off and Lookman or Sandro joining the attack.
