DAZN just showed now on fast forward Real's action before the second goal. There have been at least 20 uninterrupted passes between the players before the ball reached Marcelo for the cross. Really showed the change in tactics that Zizou imposed this season, a more elaborate construction.

Also, lol at the funny "assist" from Benzema.

That should have been red.

And these fuckers have the courage to complain about refs. Fucking disgusting.

EDIT: anyone saying that the EPL is the best league doesn't has fucking clue about football.

United are turning into a very impressive counter attacking side. The pace in their forward line and midfield is frightening.

I thought Swansea defended quite well yesterday even if they were lucky to be only one goal down coming into the final 10 minutes. But as soon as they tried to attack United destroyed them.

I mean, Swansea only had 1 shot on target the whole match and I think it was that over head kick from the edge of the box that never trouble De Gea. Our counterattacking hasn't been this good in a very very long time. Still have to do better breaking down defenses that put a lot of men in the box.

Swansea didn't do much going forward. Their plan was to soak up the pressure, frustrate United and knick a goal. It's the sort of thing that has been the undoing of United since Ferguson left. We still waste chances, as seen by the Rashford miss and we still find it difficult to score against compact sides. But when we get ahead we can kill them on the counter. It's a definite improvement in last season. It remains to be seen how we cope when it's 0-0 in the 70th minute of a game against a side who won't leave their half. But for now United fans have to be pleased by what the side is showing.

I like already that we're getting goals from more players than just the striker. Also, putting matches to bed to avoid conceding late for a draw or a loss.

Asensio, better than Messi and Ronaldo. At missing the ball. That was spectacular.

Edit: Ramos getting the red after all. Not when he deserved it. Pretty dumb referee.
