Great first 25 from the ref MA and his team.... Hope it continues
Agree, that did look a caution!!Phenomonal decision not to caution Firminio there. (after a harsh YC for Lukaku IMO)

Certainly interfered with the goalkeeper by potentially changing the direction of the ball.A good example to throw into that old 'game management' topic that was floating around a while back. I can understand why United were annoyed with that one.
That offside goal, interfering with an opponent?
It's simpler than that... law 11 has a line for us:Certainly interfered with the goalkeeper by potentially changing the direction of the ball.
I was just making it specific to this decisionIt's simpler than that... law 11 has a line for us:
"clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent"
Do you think the 31% win record at West Brom, the 35% win rate at Reading or his 53% win rate foray in non league football north of the border would sway the money men at Old Trafford??As someone with a swing to the red side of Stretford the best pressie Santa can bring is bye bye Jose and SAF till end season and hello Steve Clarke.
Every time Jones, Young, Feli... and on this form Matic... line up for United it's like xmas has come early for this Santa!As someone with a swing to the red side of Stretford the best pressie Santa can bring is bye bye Jose and SAF till end season and hello Steve Clarke.
a damning indictment of any managerial team.
In his words, have some respect ..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Mourinho#Managerial_statistics His record is second to none despite the current difficulties!!!10 men in the box defending is a damning indictment of any manager. United have a lot of quality, but that's useless if you see fit to shove everyone in the box and then waft long balls aimlessly towards opposition defenders.
Jose is just failing to adapt to the modern game imo.
"When Chelsea changed managers, they looked to the best tacticians Serie A had to offer. When Liverpool changed manager, they chose the hottest, most exciting free agent manager available. When Tottenham changed manager, they plucked the best up-and-comer in the Premier League. When Manchester City changed manager, they got Pep Guardiola, former leader of the best club side of a generation, if not all time.In his words, have some respect ..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/José_Mourinho#Managerial_statistics His record is second to none despite the current difficulties!!!

When Manchester United changed manager, they picked a man who had been sacked by a rival after alienating everyone at the club, from the boardroom to the medical room to the dressing room. You can’t say they didn’t know what they were getting, and it is hard to feel sympathy now that history is repeating itself at their expense."
Ouch from F365

They do, but how many of their starting 11 today would actually get into any of the current top 4 sides? 3, maybe 4?United have a lot of quality.
One? After Dave... OK 2 as Lukaku would be good at Chelsea... I can’t find a starting place for Marcus. On this form Matic wouldn’t get the vacant spot at the back of Spurs’ midfield...They do, but how many of their starting 11 today would actually get into any of the current top 4 sides? 3, maybe 4?
