This makeshift defence has surprised me, I'll say that. Surprisingly solid.

Fellaini has been good, been all over the pitch. Can't just take it off him.
 
Rooney is now United's third all-time top scorer.

38 more until top.

Really quite happy with that. As we've seen time and time again with Moyessiah, it's always one step forward two steps back, but if this is to be a false dawn at least I enjoyed it. Nice interplay, Shinji + Mata, Fellaini everywhere, Carrick assured at centre back...

im having a good evening
 
West Ham were terrible but that was pretty damn comfortable.

Fellaini was fantastic, Fletcher too. Everyone played pretty well except for... Ashley Young, fucking useless.
 
That was actually half decent. Played with purpose and a good tempo. Defended well for the mist part and played some decent gfootball with Mata behind the striker. The only complaint one could have is that we didn't really press home our superiority. The final ball was lacking today

A 0-2 win away from home is nothing to be sniffed at though.
 
Some pleasantly different things were happening today:

1. Defended with intelligence - understood the threats and looked actually prepared on how to deal with them.

2. Players understood their roles in both defence, transition and attack - this has been massively missing this season, our players looked like they moved around the pitch with purpose. When your team gets this right it even mitigates the performances of your shit players.

3. Fellaini and Fletcher - not perfect performances but they did everything that was needed up and down the pitch. Controlled things well.

4. Rooney, Mata and Kagawa - so much better in terms of fluency and decision making.

5. Counter attacking - more of that please.
 
Chelsea are going to win it.

And will probably win it next year also. Mourhino's second year with a team is scary.

Yeah looking at that list, I think Chelsea will win it. City will drop points against one of Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and United.
