Pogba is fucking shit. I refuse to entertain anything to the contrary.
United have been largely shite.
Yup seeing it was a def pen.
Game over. Fatboy scores. United were fucking awful to watch, yet again. I know it is supposedly all about trophies, but sitting through that turgid footy must suck the life out of you.
Second half been shite. More of the same for United then, it seems.
Yep, exactly the same as last year
Utd will do that all season long.
Won't win them the league and that's all that matters.
I hope it keeps him in the job

In theory they could probably have lied even deeper... but I don't know if it would have been practically possible.
I dont think they were fortuitous at all.
They defended resolutely and stiffled Leicesters attack.
They limited De Gea to ONE meaningful save in the whole match.
They scored two and should EASILY have had two more (Lukaku and Rashford missed absolute sitters)
As far as counter attacking victories go, but for the spawny goal they conceeded it was absolute textbook.
As long as they keep winning the fans will put up with it. Wouldn't call it getting outplayed at all. Mourinho's style is to allow the opposition to have the ball and sit deep and hit on the counter. That's what they did and they won. It's not pretty but it gets results and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
If Leicester had someone decent upfront all game, they'd have got at least a draw. Leicester missed a few sitters too, that lad upfront got goal side of them 4-5 times but miscontrolled everytime, put Vardy on the end of those chances and it's controlled and the keeper is made to work.
Everyone saying Leicester would have won if they had a decent striker, United got lucky, etc. Forget it, we've been saying this for years, it's not going to change, they'll keep winning games like this, and to be honest who cares? They won't win the league like this, their fans will hate it moment of it, all the time we'll laugh whilst we watch one of the best attacking teams in world football almost certainly finish above them this year, and who knows, maybe even challenge for the title?
I really do believe that De Gea is using some kind of witchcraft or has something that is making him do those wonder saves - CUNT.
As for Jose - I think given his track record - all the shit about him is a little harsh, but he gets the results and I would not be too surprised if we end up coming behind them come end of the season. Leicester had so much of the ball but that United defense is so well drilled and compact - everyone will find it difficult to score against them if they go ahead in games or if they choose to defend from the outset. Call it what you like but those tactics have always won him titles in England, Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Very difficult - and I pretty much doubt our defense will be as well drilled or focussed like that for over 90 minutes even though we have two of the 'best defenders in the world'.

Why did they deserve a point? Goal aside they created one good chance while Utd had a few.
Utd weren't great but they deserved the win and in the first game their fans will be delighted they overcame a tricky fixture.
Hopefully it's not the start of Shaw finally delivering on his promise.
Eriksen has been gash so far
Not sure if they deserved more, cause they struggled to break down a very disciplined and brave home team. We have to give it to United that they fought like lions to keep Leicester City on an armlength at Old Trafford.
But for daring to come out and dictate the game, press United back and denying them to have any decent play at all they deserved more. We have complained that "lesser" teams are afraid to play and Leicester were not. Unlucky with that pen that meant United could sit deep and try to counter (although they were not very good at that either) but didn't let their head drop and tried left, right and center. They can certainly build on this performance.
Potentially his 5th poor game in a row then if you include his WC games too.. maybe his newborn keeps him awake at night?
Well he's certainly looked sluggish so far
