Great result, actually managed to keep some composure at 3-0 and get another couple of goals, all good.
Burnley were poor but it was an excellent response to the United defeat.
Clean sheet 👀 VAR check required surely 😜
 
Thought almost everyone had a great game and that was a great response from the players

Aurier was maybe a bit questionable defense wise but he made a lot of space down that flank.

Dier and Sissoko where even pretty dam good Dier mopped almost everything up and Sissoko kept things simple and his runs from deep where very good as Burnley just sat back.

Mou got everything spot on we didn't let them just sit back as we where hitting it long quick and Dier was deployed to stop those knock downs.

Great display and chuffed to bits

Le Celso is an AMC, theres no chance he will be played in a two, unless we change our formation and play a three with a ball winner, deep lying playmaker and a third midfielder [Le Celso], chances are his opportunities will be slim.
Thats exactly why we need him. Poch never changed anything he did. When we started becoming predictable, he should have changed to a 4-3-3, 4-1-3-2 or something different. He was stubborn and maintained he'd decided and that was final. Enter the UEFA Champions league final. Even the players publicly said it. Mourinho needs to have a different approach. Le Celso can be utalised as a wing or an ATM. And he is great in the tackle. I'd have him over Matic (who is rumoured to be coming) any day.
 
We've had a glimpse of what this team can do today. Still shaky in defence at times and wasteful in attack on a couple of occasions, but it's early days and we should only get better from here.

I have seen that mentioned a few times, Man United set to offer Matic plus cash for Eriksen in January.
 
Not sure I was watching the same game!

Slow of thought and actions. In the first half gave the ball away several times and caught in possession a couple of times as well (by Burnley's journeymen!).
He won every header in the midfield area , broke up play , intercepted the ball, won tackles, showed strength ...but gave the ball away a couple of times , he had a good game today
