    Yes all good fun to listen to but it shouldn't go unnoticed that martial still, i believe have the best minutes played/goals scored ration in the league. 

     

    Ask the United fans on here that contested he ain't up to it and Mourinho was right not to play him.  Thats where the real side busting laughs are to be had!!!

     

    Mourinho didn't want to play him, Pochettino was extremely eager to buy him.  Go figure............

     

    I think we can also expect Luke Shaw to flourish, getting further up the pitch into high up attacking positions that Mourinho would never allow, being all too focused on the defense.  You saw a glimpse of this from both full backs against Cardiff.  He will also benefit hugely from managerial support rather than public humiliation, as will a number of the players. 

     

    What would be a huge tactical benefit to United would be to have players with the speed and agility to form a three man backline when the backs want to play high up the pitch. Currently whilst Ole clearly wants to adopt that approach i don't believe he has the players to do this, and its obviously not his fault.  He just has to have the tactical brain to understand the current limitations.  Given time he my well flourish but he needs the time to find the players and then to turn them into a unit.

    Martial is joint 5th on 8 PL goals not bad for him considering he hasn't played that much the leading scorer is on 12 and hopefully how Ole wants to play he could quiet easily score a lot more goals.

  2. Why Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is the Premier League's deadliest striker

    Some fair comments from all who have posted, Me being a red all I can say it is good to have us playing attractive attacking football, Win lose or draw it does not matter I just want to be entertained.

    It's hard enough at my age getting up at ungodly hours here in Thailand and rather than getting bored I was enthralled for the whole 90mins, Thank you Ole for bringing the fun back.

    Me too, I'm right behind you there I actually fell asleep and woke up at half time with my I-pad on the bed couldn't believe my eyes 3-1 <deleted>

  4. David de Gea

    Failed to save another penalty, although Victor Camarasca's spotkick was struck so perfectly it would be churlish to reference De Gea's 12-yard record. 6

    Ashley Young

    Proactive throughout and provided a regular outlet on the right in attacks. Got high up the pitch regularly. 7

     

    Phil Jones

    Required more one-on-one coaching than his teammates and defended stoutly as Victor Lindelof was granted permission to roam. 7

     

    Victor Lindelof

    Was bought to bring the ball out of defence and finally got to do so. Thrived in an attacking defensive role as United got the truest glimpse of the player they signed. 8

     

    Luke Shaw

    Collaborated fruitfully with Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial down the left. Like Young, Shaw was a regular outlet in attacks. 7

     

    Nemanja Matic

    Jose Mourinho's surrogate son had his best 90 minutes of the season in the Portuguese's absence. An expert pivot between defence and attack. 7

     

    Ander Herrera

    His goal was fortuitous but the hyperactive Herrera supplemented United's more intense and fluid style in the final third. 8

     

    Paul Pogba

    Swept the ball sublimely for Herrera to make it 2-0 and linked up with Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial for the Frenchman's strike. 7

     

    Jesse Lingard

    The quietest of the forwards, though his movement was key as United breached Cardiff time and again and he set up Martial. 9

     

    Anthony Martial

    Rounded off the phenomenal team goal that Solskjaer's United could become synonymous with. Excelled in a fluid front three. 8

     

    Marcus Rashford

    Gave United the perfect start with his deceptive free-kick but blemished his performance by conceding a penalty. 7

    Subs

    Fred

    Tidy. 6

    Thai people i am afraid simply cannot help themselves from doing this,recently i found out my Wife had taken commision from the builders who built our wall,and the expensive furniture shop where i purchased furniture for the new house,and possibly the air con units,no point confronting her as of course she will deny it, very dissapointing,any future works i shall ensure she has nothing to do with,relationship is on hold,no biggy as she lives at her mothers the whole reason i have built the house. Okay i am fairly well off and give her a decent monthly allowance,but to me what she has done is wrong,of course she as a Thai see's no problem,how the hell can you ever change such ingrained attitudes.

    Been there, Done that, Worn the tshirt
