Can't believe Lukaku is still on the pitch. Young should have been booked early on for an obvious block off the ball, and Salah should have been booked for diving. Ref could lose control of this game in the 2nd half as he has been to soft.
 
A dozen roll overs were completely necessary for that tap mate lol
Totally agree but if the ref isn’t going to give it he is trying to make sure he sees there was contact. Also possible with how often the ref is allowing to play to continue he is trying to force the decision
 
Decent half. Dominated, shame came up against worlds best GK or we’d be ahead.

Salah been brilliant. Mario and Slovene great. Moreno very good.

Juat need to keep going.

Ref has set set the tone by not booking lukaku so be interesting to see what happens. Thought was going to cause a phew nasty tackles to start flying in but united haven’t got close enough to us to make any.

Interesting to see if FA are consistent with the retro action on Lukaku. Looked 50/50 if it was meant, similar to Hemeds against Newcastle which got him a 3 match ban.

In real time it looked completely accidental but will watch the replay at HT

Not a dive.....and not a foul either imo
 
Can see what he is trying to do letting play go on but the 3 incidents he has waved play on for us a set piece would have been infinitely better as we were going sideways and backwards. Tbf he is trying but I think Lukaku should possibly be off for two yellows by now the First was a defo yellow that second you could argue it wasn’t intentional

He is just tryi g to avoid having a decision later.

He will come out second half and book 3 players in 10 mins for nowt. Just watch. He will pick on full backs and a forward... none lijely to be sent off later.

He's made sure there's no quick frees and also avoided booking Valencia for time wasting by interacting with the guy on a nothing throw moving him back.... two weeks ago I recall a ref sprinting over at tea who was given the ball literally one second before and warned him then boomed him for a nothing free.

This guy is desperate not to have a red or have a goal that has any controversy about it. That's all he is interested in.

Yeah I actually think it was accidental
But like I say think lovrennjust trying to get ref to stop as he letting play go on too often imho
 
Good first half for you guys though,
You would be ahead if it weren't for De Gea's talent.
 
We have done better in midfield than I thought we would, not been overrun. Coutinho has been a bit ineffective, but then he is always better playing in the middle, just behind the front 3.

Can't understand why we put high crosses in when all our front men are shortarses, no doubt if we bring Solanke on all our crosses will be on the floor.
