lloris made that finish look good

 

[robfosters]

I’m actually enjoying United playing well again. Probably because they’ve got such a lovely happy guy in charge.

Also, beating the spuds helps

 

[ThestigGT999]

.... helping Liverpool why?

lloris made that finish look good

Yeh right

 

[McBain]

Lovely pass and a good finish but what in holy hell is Vertonghen doing? Ridiculously bad defending.

 

[breadturbo]

The difference between Man utd now and a month or so ago is night and day, just give him the job ffs and save the club a few zillion £ to spend on other stuff!

 

[sneakysnail]

Yeh right

watch it again. Lloris gets a hand to it and puts into the corner of his own net. Its hit at him with pace but it was a poor bit of keeping

 

[nemtizz]

Neville creaming himself, yet he wanted Mourinho to stay.

Spurs definitely need a new #1.

 

[Shamikebab]

He doesn't really get a hand to it, he brushed it with a fingertip, maybe two.

 

[robfosters]

Souness is gonna have to praise Pogba again. I wonder if he’s had a few wee drams to prepare himself.

 

[Kerplunk]

Delicious goal that by Rashford

 

[Sui]

If I hear Keane say ‘genuine’ one more time I’m gonna go mad

 

[Robbo]

Keane lost for words

Sounds like we got a bit lucky that half to be ahead but I’ll take it. One of the comments on the BBC is how spurs attack is fluid and Uniteds is hoping for a mistake or a bit of inspiration from a single player. That’s kind of what a manager builds over time so I don’t know how much that reflects on Solskjaer.

Excellent ball by Pogba. It's a decent enough shot tbf.

United are playing on the counter and have done it well to be fair

I wouldn't say we got lucky tbh, we went out with a plan and we came close a couple of times to executing it. Rashford was denied once from a good ball from Martial.

Not at all. Defensively had a few moments but looked solid.

 

[Robbo]

Yeah, no particular luck involved really. Hope we can keep it going in the second half, Spurs can raise their game significantly, however, pushing forward will expose them to the counter attack even more.

I didn't think Solskjaer would do so well wih this United squad but so far he's doing a tremendous job, I think the main difference is he's selecting players with skill and most importantly pace rather than donkeys like Fellaini and Lukaku.
