Let's not kid ourselves here (after just watching that air shot by a Newcastle scrub), Newcastle are fuckin shite an aw.

Lol, playing Pogba in a back 3 is supreme trolling from Mourinho. He's the master. Never change, Mou.

The 718
McTominay is not a centerhalf. End this madness.
the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

That's a supreme miss by Matic.

Man Utd's ever changing formation is a joy to behold.

Edit: Has Lukaku been on the pitch all game? Wow, i never noticed. I am dipping in and out of the game to be fair.

Also remember when Mou vs. Rafa was European football's supreme tactical contest? That seems like a looooong time ago.

From the BBC live text updates.

"I don't think that either I, Simon Stone or Paul Pogba himself are really clear on where the Frenchman is meant to be playing.

A false six?"

Mata with the free kick, great finish. 2-1 - i expect a full capitulation from Newcastle. They're not a good side, they must be cream crackered as well.

Parity.

Only a matter of time before Man Utd score the winner and we are denied what might have been a Jose post match interview for the ages.

Newcastle are just awful. Poor Rafa.

But Utd have done really well to come back against the bottom of the league team at home, with about four hundred million quid's worth of talent to choose from .

The front 3 aren't firing once again for LFC. This game may need a long-range beauty by Sturridge again. Keita looks pretty gun shy out there too.

Keita not ready for this kind of pressure. he's lost

pretty clear Pep's mandate is to foul in the midfield anytime there is a change of possession

1 shot on target for each team so far, not exactly the game I expected to watch.

It’s insane how fast both these teams swarm the ballcarrier as soon as he takes a loose touch/gets played into a pickle/etc.
