Just watched the game again and on the first half the front players were on fire. The movement of Lingard and Martial and the work rate of Lukaku caused Watford no end of problems. If we can keep that up for a full game then we will steam roller teams. I wouldn’t swap any of our front players, they are all outstanding on their day, we just need their day to happen a bit more often.

Remember than Lingard had a shot saved and Lukaku had 2 good chances when we 3-0 up, on another day that could have been a massacre. If we keep the belief and go for it then I am confident we will continue to improve.

And finally, what a goal by Lingard. He gets some stick on here but he is a local boy, came though the ranks, and he scores important goals. Consistency is his target now.

{Ed004's Note - The 3 at the back seems to suit the majority of our players currently. I think the intention in the summer was to sign Griezmann and play him in the role that was given to Lingard on Tuesday. The other night was very promising. We should have been 5/6 up if Lukaku was on form.}

Not sure what point you are making iM7, if it’s a choice between paying £250M for Messi or having a home grown talent with potential then I plump for the second option every time, but maybe I’m just old fashioned.

Interesting to see how both scholes and Rio spoke about linders .
Got the talent by the sounds of it but maybe not a big enough personality.

I like Jessie. He is a really good versatile squad player. In all comps he will make 20 plus starts and 10 from the bench in all likelihood. He gets important goals.
At a ' lesser ' club in all comps he would probably get 30 starts for less money with lesser players so I think he should think long and hard about chasing regular football. He id's about to come into his prime he should be trying to turn 20 starts for united into 30.

Agree Ken, a good squad player. One that I would actually keep having slated him previously (deservedly so at the time I might add) . We need to ship out Mata as he just doesn't fit, hasn't got the X factor we need in the hole and out on the right he is more of a liability than anything else, just can't move.

Lingard and Rashford both being English, young and hungry will be good rotation/ squad players. But we need a lift in class if we want to be winning titles. Too many positions we have good but not great.

Totally agree beast. let's face it jose took over our worst percorming squad in over 20 years.
He has taken 7 players in.
The squad is now much better than he inherited but still need possibly 4 starters and that will push 4 more of the lesser quality out of the team and 4 more out of the squad.
