[Super_horns]

Now they have found some form I suspect we will lose 2-0.

 

[JimJams]

1 a piece. No Rashford goal.

[Blitzballer]

This is gash. and the utd crowd sound pissed off

 

[Stevencc]

Poor half - we've created absolutely nothing so far.

 

[Jarv]

We're very lucky not to be 2 or 3 down. Shocking half of football. only Varela and Memphis running at them has created anything for us

 

[sl1k]

No idea how we're still level after that half, Watford could have killed the game already.

It's been fucking awful. Everything looks disjointed again, lumping balls forward hoping someone gets on the end of it or waiting on Memphis to pull something out of a hat from a crowded left flank.

 

[Stevencc]

If we don't score in this game then LVG better fall over on the touchline again.

 

[Nath]

We've been terrible, again.

Watford may regret not finishing this game off.

 

[Stevencc]

We've just started to play a bit now - with 65 minutes on the clock.

 

[Stevencc]

Mataaaaaaaa!

 

[sl1k]

Oh my dayz, we don't deserve to be ahead but what a free kick by Mata.

 

[JimJams]

Top 4 spot ahead of the noisy neighbours? I'm sure Pep will be pleased.

 

[Super_horns]

Very harsh on us but that is what happens when you don't take your chances.

 

[Stevencc]

Fantastic free kick from Mata but it's as Super_horns said, Watford were wasteful and we rode our luck.

 

[Jarv]

How we got 3 points out of that i have no idea. What a great round of Results for United

 

[Christian Slater]

Hallmark of champions that win.

 

[Nilsson]

Whoooooop, great freekick worthy of winning any game. Typical performance Watford, defended well with numbers and were dangerous on the break. We definitely rode our luck at times (Ighalo especially should've done better with a few chances) but I'll take that.

Mata you beauty!!

Id take another scrappy 1-0 at WBA on Sunday.
