Manchester Utd v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[danhirons]

Give the guys some credit here. All four outfield goals came on the transition after turnovers by a team full of speed and quality who have sat deep and hit us on the break, running at a makeshift back four, but we have refused to let our heads drop.

Oooh well done boys you didn't let your heads drop...give it a rest! We get so much credit for keep going but if you're 6 2 down who cares

Llorente should be fit if we believe timeline but I'm not holding my breath...You wouldn't want either Llorente or Ayling playing left centre back though

Injury prone Llorente, missed a lot of football over the past two seasons.

Correct.....

[CHAPELALLMAN]

I'm being serious here, Paddy started out as as a defender I think....does some good work in defence

Why not Whiteswan ? Paddy as a CB and Rodrigo up front. Problems at both ends of the pitch solved

[Lorimer46]

Another couple of chances there

[Carrick Dave]

Yet some were saying before the game that we have enough CBs and don't need a loan signing in Jan....

No, we were saying one wouldn’t be signed.

I do, I love watching this team.

I knew in my gut we would hammered today, so really didn't have too much expectation. This however has been embarrassing, defensively it has been a complete mismatch and a hammering has been on the cards for a while. We have a complete Championship backline up against a word class attack.

Interesting comment on Sky text ; Raphinha is the first away player to assist two goals against Man Utd at Old Trafford in the Premier League since Tony Hibbert for Everton in a 4-4 draw in April 2012.

Should be seven again. Great saves from meslier. Defence nowhere to be seen for about the 20th time

[CHAPELALLMAN]

Also on Sky text ; Just to put into context, it's taken Manchester United barely an hour to score as many league goals at Old Trafford as they had done since July 5.

Had a very good game, with any luck would have had 2 goals too

[danhirons]

Free header at a corner.

Then Fred should score.

Sorry but this is a complete shambles.

Meslier awesome once again

It is Manchester United we are playing. How many titles, trophy's, doubles, trebles have they won whilst we've been in the doldrums for years? How much are they worth? We have been out of this league for 16 years, we have only just been promoted and we have two international central defenders out injured. Other teams who have spent years in this league are being hammered by the rich and successful clubs...Chrystal Palace being one of them on Friday night. Let's get some perspective here....this was never gonna be an easy task!

We are becoming a soft touch if you match our workrate.

Defence is a shambles

[Lorimer46]

Jeezo open goal

Only problem Whiteswan is that they are going to be singing about this many years after you and I are dead and buried....

[YorkshireSquare]

Jackie Jackie Jackie, really should have scored there!

[danhirons]

Harrison misses a sitter.

Back tk usual himself this game

[Cjay]

Harrison is a 1 in 10 player, pathetic
