    Brilliant defensive performance again today. Almost a perfect away performance with a real chance to steal it at the end. I didn't see that point coming at all.

    Have to agree with Travelsick that based on this season's form I'm not sure Janmaat warrants coming straight back into the team. Keep him out for the Arsenal game and let him know he has to work his way back in. Not his fault he has had a guaranteed spot due to no competition, but it has made him complacent.

    Great game, couldn't even pick a man of the match almost everyone was excellent. Well done to the staff too, tactics, selection and subs were spot on.

    Still think if you put brute strength or pace up against us at the back we have problems - Man U have spent loads but they need a decisive striker big time

    I'll have to watch the match replay but by the sounds of it we looked very good. To hold man u to a goalless draw this sureley needs to be our starting defense next week?

    Great result and good to see a lot of heart and effort. Very unlucky in the end to have Mitrovic hit the crossbar and Thauvin a stud length away from getting the winner in the last minute. Well done.

    Good result for us mitrovic put himself about and was good getting back after first 15 mbemba was solid and Colo was outstanding hopefully he continues. Think we can be happy with our performance defensively carry that into the arsenal game I'll take another 0-0 there. Nice to bounce back with an good result after swansea.

    That was the best defensive display I have seen in very long time. Colo and Taylor for me gave 10/10 performances. Mbemba was 9/10 and had one good player to stop in the game, but he was up for it and didn't do anything stupid. Taylor and Colo were magnificent.
    Janmaat was outclassed by Mbemba's performance today and should have to work before getting into the first team, though I'd rather have him further up the field.
    Thauvin looks complete class - within about a minute I thought he looks one classy player, far better than Cabella.

    Well done the whole team and staff - Proud of the best effort of the season. McClaren has won me over.

    Seeing the Colo we all know and love brought a tear to the old eye. Great result. If Thavin had scored I would have probably two handedly ****ed myself to death.

    A dual ****ing session? Sounds interesting and slightly perverse. I'm game.

    Looking back, one of the amazing facts about that second half is that looking at the bench we probably had more options to change the game at Old Trafford than Man Utd did. I'm not getting carried away and know we have a long long way to go, but that has got to be encouraging compared to last season!

    That's me finished with this shower, if they can get a point at Man Utd how come they can't win every other game 3-1?
    It's not a lot to ask......McLaren out.

    What a great defensive performance that was. The lads should be proud of that. Hopefully this will kick us on.
    Anyone honestly think we could get a point and a clean sheet at Old Trafford?
    For that alone it's a great day.
    Very happy with Mitro and Thauvin looked lively too.

    Missed the game due to work and have read the thread and despite our getting a 0-0 away to the only Premier League team in Salford my over riding memory of this thread will be Rancid and No Chance's love in.

    Well you know me so it won't surprise you that im not going to pretend it was a brilliant performance like some are.

    I accept we got a brilliant result but a brilliant performance, no. Today was a backs to the wall miracle in which we defended as a team which was excellent to see but we need to get better to win games for certain.

    Players like obertan and colback looked out of their depth but all in all everyone did what was required i guess.
