[Robbo]

Unchanged team, hope we can do the same again.

 

[BaZ87]

De Gea's so lucky there. He gambled on the cross and the Swansea lad nearly miss hits it straight into the goal.

 

[Robbo]

Jones hits the bar from 3 yards out.

 

[BaZ87]

Swansea without Sig remind me a lot of when Villa lost Benteke. I wouldn't say they've got many terrible players but I can't think of a player they've got that's better than average. Without Sig providing that bit of quality, Clement's got a hell of a job keeping them up imo.

 

[Robbo]

Agreed, just men behind the ball at the moment, little effort to do anything else.

 

[adam cool dude]

I hate games like this just sitting behind the ball going for the point. This is where we get really tested as we always seem to fail to break teams down.

 

[Robbo]

Need to start putting crosses in as the edge of the box is overloaded.

 

[ThestigGT999]

We need to gamble more with through balls instead of back or side to side passing

 

[BaZ87]

His challenge for the yellow was plain stupid but when you're on a booking why are you tackling like that? If the ref wanted to be a **** he could easily send him off there.

 

[Robbo]

Pogba is losing his head a bit. Could have been sent off there for another yellow...

 

[Shamikebab]

it's a foul but it would have been a harsh yellow.

 

[Trusty]

What is Bailly playing at, man up

 

[Robbo]

Rashford should have scored there, poor finish.

 

[shipinabottle]

Rashford needs to work on is finishing. He's been in the side for three seasons and he's not improved at all.

There's other players his age who get less game time and look better. I'm not seeing it yet.

 

[BaZ87]

it's a foul but it would have been a harsh yellow.

Absolutely but why give the ref a decision to make? It was a stupid, needless foul to make when you're on a booking - the Swansea crowd and players were always going to be calling for the red and another day the ref caves in and gives it.

 

[Robbo]

Yes! Finally. 0-1

That's a great header from Pogba, finished off by Bailly.

 

[adam cool dude]

Hopefully a flood of goals come now.

 

[ThestigGT999]

about time

get in!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BaZ87]

Unless Utd do something stupid that should be game over - Swansea don't look like they could create a chance of their own if they played for 90 days.
