    Redknapp talking nonsense as usual. How he's paid to commentate on anything...

    De Gea passes like Xavi.

    Agree, distribution is second to none, shot stopping is excellent and is improving with corners and crosses. What we have here my friends is one of the best keepers in the world.

    Also it appears Moyes has stumbled across a formation that works for us. Kagawa Mata and Rooney all linking really well. With some signings and sales this formation could really work. But not with Mata on the wing, he hasn't got the pace or work ethic for the wing but is showing some signs of his quality today. Which begs the question who plays up top Rooney or RVP?

    Young needs to go, he is such a nothing player, so frustrating. I know Valencia is no world beater but he has a big heart and always puts in a good shift at least which is more than I can say for young.

    Rafael also having a poor season compared to last season, so rash in his tackles although today he's been unlucky, he couldn't actually get out of the way it looked, I think the yellow was harsh.

    New CB LB CM and Winger and we might start to build something next season (hopefully) :)

    West Ham completely one dimensional.

    If even. Their 1 dimension is terrible. I don't think United are finished scoring here.

    All these crosses and corners from West Ham is disgraceful. Playing absolute dire football.

    Who do they think they are? Manchester United?

    I'd agree but not sure how much he's being challenged on the left.

    Pack your bags ladies and gentlemen, the hype train is about to leave the station.

    Seriously though, it's far too early to say that, and for a lot of people, me included, there are still flaws in his game.

    You shouldn't be defending this deep against a team who just look for long balls and crosses

    Push up

    True, hasn't had to do much but has looked solid.

    Amazing the improvement in our play when players actually run with the ball and move rather than pass it 5 yards sideways then hoof it long.It's only taken 'til now for Moyes to find that out.

    West Ham are making Michael Carrick look like Franco Baresi.

    Not as commanding of his box as other top keepers, compare it to Neuer or Courtois and it is lacking, I've never been particularly impressed with his 1 vs 1 work, he also doesn't seem as vocal as perhaps some top keepers. He's an excellent shot stopper, his distribution is usually quite good but best in the world is certainly a stretch too far.

    It's hard to believe it's not Baresi, it's Carrick you know.

    But isn't the yardstick Victor Valdes according to you?
