WOW THATS 3 amazing saves quiff boy has done!! we should be leading here!! we have had the better clear cut chances!!!! COYB!!!

Dann and Peds are the only poor aspects of the game so far but I wouldnt expect any less.

[Amo]

Can't quibble with 0-0 at the break, but Man. Utd will come out firing in the second half. We need to get tighter and stop being so careless in possession.

[SAS]

Great end to the half, De Gea having fine game...

[ada2020]

His decision not sign a new contract looks pretty good from his point of view

Yawn Jim. Not really bothered about tat boring subject.

[John]

Think some are being too harsh - so far, we have done OK. Had some good chances at the end of the first half too.

[Doug]

Typical peds knockers are out. Great set pieces to create chances then. Playing out of position again at right mid. Very concerned with Lowe and olsson in midfield. We look very suspect down their right. orr doing ok at RB but he does have cover from midfield.

[Devon Rover]

I actually quite enjoyed that half. Thought we worked hard and overcame the initial barrage. Lets be honest we could have been 2 down inside 10 minutes but it improved.

Dann is a constant liability.

Still expecting a defeat but hoping my 4-1 prediction will end up being much worse than actual outcome as goal difference may yet have a role to play...

[jim mk2]

United had oceans of room .... we're defending far too deep. Dann playing very well. De Gea having his best game of the season, da bum

Sounds like Topman's next avatar. Disturbing.

Pedersen has been awful!!! One decent corner is all he's done.

Great end to the half, we need to keep it tight for the first fifteen and try to nick a set piece.

[hesfromburn]

It really annoys me that our homegrown youngster Hanley can be so immense in both boxes and Scott dann a big purchase for us be so so poor. Where is givet?

Typical Pedersen apologists making excuses for him.

He'll score now.

[McClarky]

I really wish we would try and keep hold of the ball more when we get it rather than going for the big long ball all the time. We need to give ourselves a breather sometimes. On saying that we have been quite confortable so far. I would expect them to throw a wide man on and spread the game more after half time as they are playing into our hands with this narrow midfield where they don't need the extra man. Same again for us and hope to hang on and launch a late flurry.

[Robin]

Nice view of the brain of the outfit (Black) telling Kean everything we're doing wrong, while Kean sits like a silent question mark next to him

I was thinking exactly the same thing

[Amo]

I was thinking exactly the same thing

I saw that. I don't know why Eric was wasting his breath.

[Tugay-is-God]

Highlight of the game so far: Tugay's cameo at the interval.

[Fraserkirky]

Formica is twice the player MGP is.

COYB. looking solid

[Majiball]

Can't quibble with 0-0 at the break, but Man. Utd will come out firing in the second half. We need to get tighter and stop being so careless in possession.

Given the recent 'love in' between Keano and Royal Red Nose, who knows??? Perhaps Fergie will do us a favour again?

[Joar]

...maybe Orr should take set pieces...

[Doug]

Typical Pedersen apologists making excuses for him.

He'll score now.

Let's hope so eh!

[hesfromburn]

C'mon I think we will get at least a point now ive just seen Danns 1st ever Successful defensive play!

[Doug]

Sounds like Topman's next avatar. Disturbing.

[Andy]

Utd are around evens now on most betting sites - easy money if you bet now.

[hesfromburn]

C'MON!! Yakubu your better than that!

[Drakefyre]

Fantastic ball by Pedersen for Yakubu there
