Got lucky. Shaw butchered that attempted build out.

A defensive effort than would make Jose proud. We didn't lose and that was the primary objective.

Pogba should have buried that one from 3 yards out - kicked it right into Allison's chest.

Shaw and Pogba played great, Rashford and Bruno played awful.

Thiago also got away with 6 or 7 tactical fouls without being booked, that was ridiculous

Yep, Rashford and the Matidore had a 2v1 breakaway, and Rashford held on to the ball instead of playing Cavani in space.
In the business, we call that a "me" play; not a "we" play.

Rashford and Bruno look like they need a rest and I can't say I blame them.

Whoever wins the league this year is going to do with luck and scrappiness as much as they will with talent. It's a crap shoot at this point and with everyone playing every 3-4 days between now and May, I don't expect that to change.

Pogba with a superb shot from 25 yards. It's fair to say he's playing his best soccer since coming back to the club.

Back to the top. 40 points at the halfway mark.

Pogba's goal was a beauty. We were lucky Fulham didn't steal one back at the end there

It bears repeating but this season is NUTS.

The table is really a mess with all the postponements. It's very possible that when all the matches are actually played Liverpool could sit 5th and Chelsea could be 10th and Arsenal 11th, below both AVL, SOU and WHU.

When someone inevitably starts comparing former EPL champions, they'll need to effectively remove whomever wins the league this season. Not because the team won't be good or worthy champions but rather because there are going to be certain qualities required to win the league this season that ordinarily wouldn't be required...or at least not required as much as they are this season. And for reasons other than talent, some of the point totals/statistics aren't going to look great when compared to other seasons.

The lads are looking pretty good today. Just gotta hold on.

Bruno comes on and immediately creates opportunities and scores the winner. Cavani should have iced the game off of a Bruno cross, but he hit the post.

This squad is looking great at the halfway point. (Yes, I know today was FA Cup, not EPL)

That was an entertaining game of soccer. Rashford was fantastic. Greenwood and Pogba as well. Bruno comes off the bench to score the winner.

Liverpool for sure had their chances but a very solid win. Fun to watch.

Didn't realize they already had the 5th round draw. We'll be playing West Ham at home sometime between Feb 9-11 which means a league game against Everton will have to be moved to...sometime in March I guess.

Giving up a lead goal on a set piece at home. Who would have guessed that?

De Gea was all kinds of flappy hands on the goal but he was absolutely fouled. Regardless this has been a garbage showing. Once again we have no way of breaking down a sucky team putting 10 behind the ball.
Mathguy64

Yeah. There was as much contact on DeGea as there was on the other end and they took that one out of the net.

IMHO both should have been no calls. But consistency is bigger.

10 going low on De Gea was what I had issue with. It was clearly intentional.

I'm fed up with the VAR required delayed offside flag. You are a professional AR and the player is off by 3 yards or more. Just put your damn flag up.

Agree.

Maybe unlikely maybe but what if Maguire or someone in that situation sprinted to catch up just in case and pulled something....

That defense was puke emoji worthy. JFC
