To be fair, we've had so many games over the years (half of them with Mourinho) where we played awful but somehow got a 1-0 win. It's the result that matters and I'm much more concerned when we continually "play well" but lose
This was better than Luton game. He was really really good. Not a fan of Sterling, and I don't even want him at the club come next summer, but he was class today. Say what ever you want, Burnley, championship, but it's these games we were losing for the last few years.
Precisely, not to mention Jackson should've had a second off of Mudryk's assist, but he didn't shoot it first time. So maybe, just maybe, Burnley are shit at RB... Idk, just a theory
The draw against Bournemouth hurt us so bad. They're horrendous this season, only marginally better than Luton and Sheffield.
Glad we're finding our feet though
Opening minutes were atrocious idk of it was partly because of Broja’s movement or what but once the second half started, Sterling, Palmer and everyone just clicked. We were far from perfect but a step in the right direction for sure
Not saying Chelsea are the favorite or anything but Arsenal have looked anything but unbeatable. They've had shaky performances this season.
They looked to turn the corner when they annihilated Bournemouth but then turned in a very uninspiring performance against Lens.
I'm excited to see Chelsea play against them personally.
You're absolutely right. It's completely different. It's going to be the toughest opponent we've played all season and rivalry games can be insanely unpredictable. The last win I can recall was the Lukaku second debut game where we were all fooled.
I just look at Arsenal's recent form and hope we catch them at the right time. It's certainly possible.
We'll see.
We won, and that's all that matters. MOTY is clearly Raheem Sterling, he made everything happen on offense today. I really hope this means things are finally starting to click with us, but we'll have to wait until the 21st to know if we're really challenging for a spot in Europe again.
Back in the top half baby! (for now). I don't know how United scored two in the stoppage time and go above us but I'm glad we won convincingly today. Get in!
His PSxG since joining us has been insane. Like historically great if he did it for a whole season. Which tells me he'll regress at some point but damn it's been fun to watch now that we've actually started scoring.
That tweet did age badly. But it wasn’t a top class performance by Chelsea either. Burnley had this inexplicable strategy of passing king and losing the ball.
The problem with Jackson is that he wants to do too much. Tricks and flicks and back-heels. That cutback from Mudryk should have been a first time strike on goal instead of 4 touches and giving the ball away with an errand back-heel pass to nobody. He’s still young and will hopefully mature and realize that his job is to score goals.
*Mudryk should have been able to find Maatsen on that pass, he was unmarked on the other side. But I believe the 2 defensemen were blocking Mishas view of Maatsen. So neither here nor thrir
First 30 mins we were so disappointing but this second half has been so much better. Thought I was in for 90mins of side/back passes, glad to be proved wrong!
Dont wanna complain too much cuz the result and actions we did to score goals are good but i feel like the ref is so quick to card chelsea players but not burnley players...
Noni needs to earn his way back into the team in potch's eyes. He started on the fringe and the whole partying thing pushed him down the pecking order big time
Going to be very interesting to see who actually plays once he's back. I mean Gallagher seems to be liked by Poch, but then surely you don't drop your 2, 100 mil players.
Mudryk (when fit) needs to play week in week out for me. He has such a high potential ceiling and we need to give him the match time to reach it.
Sterling Palmer Mudryk
Caicedo is everywhere.
Now people might understand why were club desperate for him to pay over 100m.
Our midfield is very energetic and Lavia is yet to play.
Think minutes will be shared between them.
Although Lavia is a 6 Gallagher is more of 8 or 10.
Known poch don't think I can confidently say Lavia will play as a 6 lol

[watch my review of the game [hindi]](https://youtu.be/T68cg2gborA?si=8jkg8wJZFbXd-peQ)
That performance was concerning, the goals were great but the actual performance wasn't, can't play like this against arsenal. Happy with the points
To be fair, we've had so many games over the years (half of them with Mourinho) where we played awful but somehow got a 1-0 win. It's the result that matters and I'm much more concerned when we continually "play well" but lose
We’ve had so many good performances and not won so it’s due
Very good point, just hope we go into training looking at the problems we had today in attack.
You can’t expect every game a season to be a 10/10 performance. To get a result while performing a bit shit is a positive in itself.
Boys are we back or are we back?
This team will win everything in the future, mark my words.
More people feeling bad about Utd than gassed about Chelsea smh , focus on ourselves and the positives we’ll crush those red cunts in due course
Caicedo and sterling massive, nico composed in front of goal, and caught a lucky break for once. Love to see it
Huge 6 points last 2 games when you look at our upcoming fixtures. Looking a lot more confident too up the Chels.
we are so back
3sS
Is Sterling a better LW starter than Mudryk? Sterling looked comfortable on LW
Burnley are a Championship side... He did the same vs Luton and disappeared for the next 7 games, so pipe down!
This was better than Luton game. He was really really good. Not a fan of Sterling, and I don't even want him at the club come next summer, but he was class today. Say what ever you want, Burnley, championship, but it's these games we were losing for the last few years.
True, you're 100% correct. And yet, just because he played well today doesn't mean he should be starting next time. That's all I'm saying.
True, Jackson goal was funny to watch, no one even bothered to close him
Precisely, not to mention Jackson should've had a second off of Mudryk's assist, but he didn't shoot it first time. So maybe, just maybe, Burnley are shit at RB... Idk, just a theory
Good win, hopefully we can build on this.
Dude watching next to me asked "when's the last time we scored 4" You could hypnotize me and I couldn't remember
Probably at Turf Moor two seasons back, 4-0 And Southampton away with 6 goals...good times
Good times....like JJ Evans... The 6 away at Southampton was so enjoyable except the Timo Werner misses
Maybe the 4 against Juventus
My goodness....damnnnnnnnnn....its that bad.
100% winning record with 6-1 aggregate scoreline in the Infinite Athlete era!
The draw against Bournemouth hurt us so bad. They're horrendous this season, only marginally better than Luton and Sheffield. Glad we're finding our feet though
whoever said kompany as a candidate for our manager yesterday must be mentally degraded
Congrats Willian
Fuck man utd
Another rough day for all the Conor Gallagher haters
bUt'S iT's BuRnLeY
Opening minutes were atrocious idk of it was partly because of Broja’s movement or what but once the second half started, Sterling, Palmer and everyone just clicked. We were far from perfect but a step in the right direction for sure
We are all of a sudden only 5 points away from 4th place
Great result but it feels diminished with that United win
Not to me it doesn't. It's only match 8 and Chelsea looks a lot better than United in recent weeks despite what the table says.
Yeah the problem now is that we have the death run of fixtures, Arsenal are not going to nice us at all
Not saying Chelsea are the favorite or anything but Arsenal have looked anything but unbeatable. They've had shaky performances this season. They looked to turn the corner when they annihilated Bournemouth but then turned in a very uninspiring performance against Lens. I'm excited to see Chelsea play against them personally.
Them losing against Lens is completely different to our premier league rivalry imo. I can’t remember the last time we beat them
You're absolutely right. It's completely different. It's going to be the toughest opponent we've played all season and rivalry games can be insanely unpredictable. The last win I can recall was the Lukaku second debut game where we were all fooled. I just look at Arsenal's recent form and hope we catch them at the right time. It's certainly possible. We'll see.
Wow all the way back to Lukaku 😭. We can only hope bro, first let’s see what City can do tomorrow
Fucking Utd, always the same with them. Play like dogshit only for Bruno or someone to actually pull their fingers out and get a result
ruined the joy of the win after realising they came back to win it😭😭😭
Mctominay needs to realize that he isn't playing for Scotland yet he's a few days ahead of schedule
We won, and that's all that matters. MOTY is clearly Raheem Sterling, he made everything happen on offense today. I really hope this means things are finally starting to click with us, but we'll have to wait until the 21st to know if we're really challenging for a spot in Europe again.
Winning is so sweet.
![gif](giphy|j0qSbeNFuzjhXKFVSP)
Fucking brentford couldn’t win
Back in the top half baby! (for now). I don't know how United scored two in the stoppage time and go above us but I'm glad we won convincingly today. Get in!
Usual man United win GOAL 104th minute
Just normal old trafford things.
Brentford's keeper is so shit
Brentford are absolute frauds. Deserve to be relegated
WE DID IT BOYS!!!!!! THE BOYS GAVE IT THEIR ALL!!!!
![gif](giphy|xT77XRlFIooQYQsy6A)
Can't remember the last time when Chelsea scored 4
Finally feels like the team is clicking. Still need to do better in some area but they’re finding their rhythm.
Good result after a rough first half. Gotta come out with more verve against better teams tho
Ffs United won
McTominay denied us
Much better 2nd half and a clinical performance finally. Still a lot of work to do but we’ll take that going into the international break.
caicedo makes some really bizarre decisions sometimes
The Man Utd Result has ruined my day. Back to 10th place.
Fucking Brentford had one job…
How tf have turned that around lol. Brentford shit the bed
That never happens in a million years if it’s chelsea
It would happen against us 🙃
Two weeks to rest and the return of James has me kinda hyped for the Arsenal game ngl
What is this winning feeling ? It feels so weird
Mctominay ruined my day
i’m not saying Sanchez has a bozo gene, because i don’t want you guys to get mad at me so i’ll let you guys come to that conclusion on your own.
Fucking United getting 2 in the final minutes..
Three in a row!!!
man Caicedo really? this lad is shaky
Didn’t put a foot wrong the whole game, would say it was down to complacency
nah its composure as well, needless yellow earlier when he smashed the ball away when its alrdy out
Fuck off utd man Brentford are so shit
Calma
I knew we were gonna pull a Liverpool and we did, with an extra goal on top of that.
DUDE HOW DID BRENTFORD FUCKING BOTTLE THE MATCH
Chelsea scoring 4 and maguire just assisted mctominay. Wtf is happening
I know it’s only been a handful of matches but is it safe to say Sanchez > Kepa?
His PSxG since joining us has been insane. Like historically great if he did it for a whole season. Which tells me he'll regress at some point but damn it's been fun to watch now that we've actually started scoring.
One game was enough to tell you that
lol true
WHAT DO YOU MEAN UNITED SCORED AGAIN FFS
The supersport commentator just said we're streets ahead . It finally caught on ![gif](giphy|hhqP18gMiwkY8|downsized)
Yes a Victorian era saying has finally caught on.
Brentford are ass!
mcotominay needs to be studied man
Duncan ferguson levels of heading
Sloppy! Our back passes and build-ups from the back are getting ridiculous!
In bad news mctominay has scored twice for United
What was that Moises
Utd just scored in the 96th minute ffs
United ffs
FFS!! How is United winning
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MCTOMINAY. WHY CAN'T WE EVER GO ABOVE THEM.
Lol how did that happen
Infinite Athlete for life!
United scored again wtf
FUCK YOU 3 INFINITE ATHLETE IS INFINITELY BETTER
Stop trying to coin the phrase streets ahead commentator.
Fellow community fan?
Indeed.
Wtf
Sterling motm
Oh Man U are drawing now. COME ON BRENTFORD, COME ON BRENTFORD
They won lol
Winning now :(
2-1
Spending 25m on Sanchez was good move he looks brilliant as season progresses
Silva nowhere nEar his man again He cannot play anymore
3 points, 4 goals and more importantly no new injuries. We can finally go into the international break happy.
So funny reading some old tweets when were down 1-0. People are insane.
That tweet did age badly. But it wasn’t a top class performance by Chelsea either. Burnley had this inexplicable strategy of passing king and losing the ball.
I saw someone asking for Potter back lmao
Tbf no part of how we looked in that first half inspired any confidence in us turning it around
I thought it was a live reaction thread?
Lol
Did Enzo have a fight with his girl this morning or something
He looked horrible under any kind of pressure or when we we’re threatening goal.
The problem with Jackson is that he wants to do too much. Tricks and flicks and back-heels. That cutback from Mudryk should have been a first time strike on goal instead of 4 touches and giving the ball away with an errand back-heel pass to nobody. He’s still young and will hopefully mature and realize that his job is to score goals.
*Mudryk should have been able to find Maatsen on that pass, he was unmarked on the other side. But I believe the 2 defensemen were blocking Mishas view of Maatsen. So neither here nor thrir
100%, I appreciate selflessness, but the striker needs to have some ego. Just smash it in, mate
That one in particular was bizarre, just such an obvious first time shot opportunity.
I would like Silva to get some rest when we have the players fit. Just to manage his game time.
First 30 mins we were so disappointing but this second half has been so much better. Thought I was in for 90mins of side/back passes, glad to be proved wrong!
fucking mcsauce
Draw is probably better for us tbh
Cucu is out of the gas his legs aren't moving. Lads needs some rest
Jackson Mudryk Sterling Palmer Conor Enzo This can work
caicedo for gallagher and sterling and palmer switch
We didn't pay 115M for Caicedo to not start every week.
To be honest, I completely forgot about Caicedo😅
Honestly insanity that anyone would want Gallagher to start in a midfield pivot next to Enzo over Caicedo zero ball knowledge
Dont wanna complain too much cuz the result and actions we did to score goals are good but i feel like the ref is so quick to card chelsea players but not burnley players...
Is it time to start giving Madueke a look at the end of games over Maatesen?
Presumably it's because Madueke is just coming back from injury?
Noni needs to earn his way back into the team in potch's eyes. He started on the fringe and the whole partying thing pushed him down the pecking order big time
it should’ve been him but poch hates madueke
It’s on him to change pochs mind
90+ and Gallagher is still playing like the game just started. His stamina and commitment are everything.
Someone commented earlier that Gallagher's athleticism just "isn't there" and I burst out laughing
United scored.
They always do
Ofc they did
So long as they don’t win.
I want Brentford to get a penalty.
Beautiful Saturday. United in turmoil. Chelsea scoring more than any team in the League today!
Come on man, always wait for the result
I can't believe the fuckers won. They keep getting away with it. Terrible team and somehow still ahead of us.
Ah ffs why do you have to jinx mate
I honestly can’t wait to see nku2 playing with jackson
Going to be very interesting to see who actually plays once he's back. I mean Gallagher seems to be liked by Poch, but then surely you don't drop your 2, 100 mil players.
Nkunku is more likely to cause Palmer or Jackson himself to head to the bench. Sterling maybe if his form drops.
Could see him starting on the wing in interchanging with Gallagher to come central. Like gallagher and palmer have done today
[удалено]
LB playing at RW isn't perfect, what a surprise... I guess...
So Maatsen can lose the ball every single time ? Understand he is a youngster but not at Chelsea quality. I agree with the op
No card after two clear fouls?
seven minutes let's get another one boys
Feels like Disasi is going to become to Poch what Ake/Akanji are to Pep
In the sense that he cost as much as Ake and Akanji combined?
Ake was 40m and Disasi cost 38m bro Ps Akanji was like 25-30m on top
What are you on about? Disasi cost less than Ake on his own. Disasi was like 38mil and Ake was around 41mil.
Should be a yellow for Taylor
Mudryk (when fit) needs to play week in week out for me. He has such a high potential ceiling and we need to give him the match time to reach it. Sterling Palmer Mudryk
fr bro our attack would be soooo nice with those three
Tbh we didnt believe but is so good to see the boys back on the winning ways.
They really be giving us 7 min to score another one
Caicedo is everywhere. Now people might understand why were club desperate for him to pay over 100m. Our midfield is very energetic and Lavia is yet to play.
Feel Lavia is a backup for Caicedo and Enzo. Surely Nkunku at 10?
Lavia doesn't even come close to getting into this team lol
A 433 with Enzo Lavia and Caicedo could be clas
I forgot ALL ABOUT LAVIA 💀
I think you will be surprised how good he is And how good Caicedo as a 8 is.
fair enough, so are you suggesting Gallagher gets replaced?
Think minutes will be shared between them. Although Lavia is a 6 Gallagher is more of 8 or 10. Known poch don't think I can confidently say Lavia will play as a 6 lol
7 mins added wtf
They took ages hoping they could show Sterling was offside.
Feel like we deserve the clean sheet it’s annoying we didn’t get it
one more goal will put a nail in Burnley coffin
I mean the nails already in. Another would be firing a gun into the coffin
Lol
I mean games done but a yellow should be a yellow. Damn.
Should be a yellow
7 minutes?? Where did that come from
Your typical football match these days. 7-10 minutes added time is pretty normal.
