Fellaini gives Carrick that little bit more freedom in the middle of the park, and he made full use of it today.

He hasn't played without Fellaini this season? That said, Fellaini's been doing pretty well lately.

PhlegmyMoses · 29-11-2014 06:12PM

Fellaini also seems to really understand his role. You see him getting forward onto their fullback when there's a chance of a crossfield pass that he could knock down but when he feels it's not coming out to him he gets himself back quickly in case the counter. I'd say he'll be an LVG favourite.

Fellaini has been playing very well under VG this year, mad to think not so long ago fans were booing his introduction. Always nice to see a player regain his form.

Good performance today but injuries yet again seem to haunt us! I just want a game where no one picks up a knock ha! Hopefully Di Maria will be back soon as they didnt take any risks with him (must have been listening to Gary Neville complaining about letting players play on with knocks

).

Herrera played very well when he came on and Mata impressed after being moved into that role behind the strikers. RVP was touch and go at times, lovely finish for the goal but it's still not quite clicking with him. Caught offside a lot of times today.

Most positive thing is we will still be in the top 4 regardless what happens with the remaining games this week, and with City and Southampton playing each other someone above us is going to drop points. We aren't there yet but the season has been improving steadily since the loss to Leicester, only 1 loss since then. Lets hope this run continues for a good bit!

The more I see of Leicester the more I wish we could get a do-over against them. They really aren't good and will probs be relegated this year.

What did LVG say after the match?

FortuneChip · 29-11-2014 07:04PM

We've already get Chelsea sh*tting themselves!

Giggsy11 · 29-11-2014 07:18PM

Smalling's triple header.

RobertKK · 29-11-2014 07:19PM

Down to 11 points to Chelsea now.

The_Kew_Tour · 29-11-2014 07:22PM

Only conceded 3 goals in last 5 games (if I'm not mistaken) against Chelsea, City, Palace, Arsenal and Hull.

That is good when you consider the multiple back lines starting and injuries.

Even more impressive when you break it down to players who played in defense. Jones, Evans, Smalling, Rojo all missed most of the games, even Rafael and Shaw too.

and those 3 goals came against Arsenal, Man City, and Chelsea. Our defense is leaky sure and we havent a hope of mounting any sort of feable titlechase

The Leicester game really throws off our goals conceded number for the season as well.Without that anomaly we've been fairly solid at the back, although one or two of those games can be attributed to DDG's heroics (Everton, Arsenal).

Well that's good point.

Could be 2 down early last week too.

But overall while little lucky I think defense has done pretty well all things considering

For all the talk of the money spent this summer and points at X point in the season compared to last year, I would love to see a game-by-game breakdown of the starting backlines and most defensive midfielder this season vs. last season.

RVP was still fairly poor today. If that goal is the start of him scoring regularly then he'll be worth his place, but if he continues playing like today and scoring like he has been this season then he really needs to be replaced by one of the other strikers.

Lord TSC · 29-11-2014 08:12PM

No point getting carried away, but despite a very poor start to the season and the fact we have an injury...."crisis" doesn't do it justice, we're still in the top 4, ahead of Arsenal, Spurs and Pool, not a kick away from City.

We've had our fair share of luck that other top teams have been dire as well this year; the only one who hasn't been is Chelsea, and 11 points isn't actually THAT big a gap at this point.

If we could actually get over this injury crisis, get Falcao and DiMaria playing together, get a back line together that is actually comprised of, ya know, defenders....

The future, imo, is bright. Plenty to be optimistic about right now....

dubmick · 29-11-2014 08:17PM

How did Falcao do when he came on?

Was a step off, as is expected coming back from injury. Was making good runs but a second too slow. Had a really good chance late on he should have buried. Did well in the build up to that moment by shurgging off defenders.

Haven't felt as comfortable watching a United game in a long long time.
They were muck though, they really were.

Raging about di Maria, and hopefully Rooney can make a quick recovery. ANd just to echo some other, van Persie's performance was not great at all. He took the goal fantastically well, but overall he was dire.
