Didn't deserve that but take the three.

Positives for me:
work rate - if you keep going you might nick something
Davies - looks a solid player
Walker - got better and fitter as game went on

Wow! Now that side that finished the game is the sort of side that needs to start. So much better balanced. Dembele excellent and stambouli added a better shape. Chadli done more in 5 mins than lamela did in 85 and walker was brilliant as the game went on. And well erikson.... The little boy is a genius!!!!

A win is a win is a win. What more can we do but win.
Yes we can play the beautiful football we all want but doesn't mean we'll win.

I don't understand how Fazio is being made out to being poor. He has 1 tackle, 4 clearances, 2 interceptions and 1 blocked shot. Is the problem that he isn't a vertonghen type who carries the ball up the field?! He is playing very well defensively. He is doing his job very well and staying tight on his marks.

I thought he was a bit shaky to start off with but grew into the game.

Very scrappy, but somehow another three points and some crucial ones at that, made sweeter by another last minute winner.

Decisions that need to be made though Poch...

Well that was embarrassing.
Cant' fault Eriksen or Harry - absolute commitment until the end - hats off to them - maybe we can build on that?! (The rest was tosh!)
My fear is out last minute winners are hiding cavern sized cracks in our team make-up, system and managerial ability.

Man Utd have been shit for 6 games and won 6 games.
They will be stronger in games to come as
Winning becomes a habbit. Not sure things will get much better performance wise till we buy a few players

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask! A lot to work on but still a great feeling to nick it away from home like that.

We have players with so much ability who show it so rarely. Great win, just a shame it's papering over the cracks.
Man Utd are papering over cracks for the last 6 games and they're in the top 4 now,I'm sure they're worried.

Thought the poorest part of the team today was Bentaleb/Mason personally-but theyre young/new to the prem still really, so it will be up and down for a while.

Tireless work from Kane and Lamela.

Eriksen just has so much quality, and started working harder in the second half too which is good to see.

That first 15 minutes saaw some fantastic pressing from the young guys Mason, Bentaleb, Lamela and Kane and I can see slowly that there are signs of following Pochs stuff. It didnt last-but patience and I think we'll be ok.

Oh, and I will never love a man as much as Hugo Lloris.

Nice also to see that our team has become a bit more gritty and willing to be a bit dickhead-y some times this season....too often we have been the nice guys.

It's Soldado's fault that the defence let in a goal??

Riiiiiight.....


Sorry!? Look at Bony how he holds up the ball and brings his team into play. We play it up to Soldado, it bounces straight to a defender from him, he is more or less non existent and therefore we didnt get into play and Swansea was all over us.

Another miserable performance, good result though.

Shite performance, great result. If we don't build our team around Eriksen then we are foolish.
