Based on where we are and how the season is panning out, how are you feeling about there being no domestic game for two weeks while the international break happens?

I never enjoy an International break.

Club over Country all the time.

Positive. Allows Welbeck and Lallana enough rest to be ready again as well as Burn chance to return to full fitness. The difference with the 2 senior pros playing nearly all the game has been marked. Less xG than other games but more clinical and better game management. And with Dunk, you have your 3 most experienced players through the spine. And some of our younger players get to go to their international games on a high and hopefully gain valuable experience.

Pretty happy. Chance for plenty of rest before the hard work begins again at Old Trafford. Players who aren't on international duty will be buzzing and relaxed in training. Injury niggles will rest and clear up. Webster may be nearer a return ( ? ) We can all keep looking at the table and know that one more win will set a real target for Fulham..i.e they will have to better our last 8 games by 10 points.

Form aside, a cleanse of the Premier League palate isn't entirely a bad thing with time for players to recover from injuries and coaches to plan out the last 9 games.

It'll be much harder for Fulham and Newcastle who will feel the pressure building for 13 and 14 days respectively and won't be able to do anything about it.

After winning 3-0 it has to be disappointing not to carry on to the next game.

But as others say does give a chance to Lallana and Welbs to rest up, and hopefully get Webster to recover.

Sure Welbeck with want to remind Utd of his ability

Hate the breaks, BUT, Fulham and Newcastle will have to stew on missed opportunities, we can look forward to going to MU in great form. For once, feel this one suits us.

Generally l detest international breals, they break up the momentum of the season, and l just don't see the point. That said it's a nice feeling going into one, knowing that you can relax for a fortnight after a big win!

Voted positive. I am still on a high from last night.

Didn't vote neutral "would probably lose at Old Trafford" because I have a sneaky feeling that we will get something up there.

Meh, tbh we are on a roll and that has come to a halt, I won’t even be watching the England games!

Maupay needs a rest desperately. And they can all get ready physically and mentally for three exceptionally tough games while basking in 6 points and two great performances.
