We've Been Waiting Years For This At Manchester United

For a long time I've been saying 'at some point, Manchester United will put a team to the sword'.

That has now finally happened. It felt good. It felt foreign having seen us struggle for such a long time, but it is indeed only Barnsley.

However, there are some big things to take development wise from that win and I want to talk about them with you.

Rotation, clinical finishing, putting a team to the sword, strong individual performances? Yeah, there really was so much to like about Barnsley. 10 goals in 2 games where United were expected to win, now it is about taking that into Palace and turning it into real progress.

[RikHep]

we have a stronger bench this year, so there isn't such a drastic drop in quality in a rotated squad. The difference is we did proper recruiting this summer and added young legs

[Almairi]

I didn’t look at the finishing against barnsley, i looked at how well eriksen and ugarte played.. these 2 completely controlled the midfield and were class in every area in the game.

[Compsure]

Eriksen at 10 needs to happen more often especially with 2 defensively capable players behind him.

[GutzOverFear]

Remember our performance against Coventry last season and against other lower-tier teams?
Fans were like can we play Utd every week?
That's especially why this feels so good. But Utd really need to find a way to recreate that type of performance consistently in the League. And not drop silly points over and over again.

[Sleepykuna]

Mainoo should be benched at times. We can't ruin him by overusing him

[bibash]

Dalot needs appreciation. He is the most constant player for us.

[MaverickLee]

So true. They were clinical.
The team, the new backroom set-up and those three players all needed that massive confidence boost: Erikssen, Rashford and Antony to show that their efforts are paying off.

[Trustkid]

Let's get stronger and stronger and more then that bring it on ❤❤❤

The liverpool game is a reality check for Ten Hag and the team. They need to keep their foot on the gas.

[Cantona-]

Nice video mate, im soaking in the GOALS.

Palace are a stubborn team and they have quality in the transition. We need to keep it tight and win a gritty 2-0.

[ObengBoateng]

I can only be convinced in our next games against the EPL teams

[hendismutandwa]

People are not commending ETH's flexibility enough this season. This man saw how easily exhausted our team was getting when we implemented the constant high pressure....especially against good opponents like Liverpool, fast forward to Southampton and he started with a mid block., and it paid out massively as players eventually were able to high press the whole of the second half on the occasions we lost possession.

Again today he comes with the squad rotation and minimum width, and the results were impressive. Had it been last season he'd have gone and done the same thing until we all got tired of his rigidness and tactical stubbornness. Even changing team shapes mid game, that was very good and It gave me some hope for us going into the future

It’s evidence of a side with far fewer injuries (and we still don’t have a regulation left back on the pitch). This means you can rotate.

One problem remains… if we go behind on the first goal. Tougher to counter attack when the oppo can then sit back and counter themselves.

Also thought Ugarte was excellent given it was only his second time on the pitch with new teammates. He broke up play a number of times and in particular Garnacho’s second goal was a direct result of doing so.

Great to see Rashford score and well at that. Antony too.

God Bless you for your Amazing and consistent Quality content

[AndrewDouglas-lt]

We did to Barnsley what we hade a right to expect, 7-0 was an excellent result and respectful to Barnsley by not backing of at 4-0 . So let's enjoy scoring 7

[eekdicelana]

I believe Rashford learned the technique from RvN for his 2nd goal. The movement, control, and placing is so clinical.

[HajaraKamara-nckp]

Yeah indeed yesterday is amazing match for we one love guys this is the things we need for your guy's keep it up

[VasieNaidu]

A few years under Ole 9 against Southampton, first under ETH, now we have a bench. It was a good game for the players.

[ofentsetsipa]

People saying it's just Barnsley are missing the point..united performed regardless of the opponent.
