A great game of football and a massive 3 points. Thoughts on players:
DDG: Coming back to his best I’d say, making some great saves. Still a bit to go but getting there.
AWB: Great cross for the goal, stupid brain-fart for the equaliser, great defending to stop the equaliser with his high boot. Was discussing with another group chat, we all forget he’s only 22yrs old with 2 full PL seasons under his belt. The kid needs experience.
Bailly: If we could guarantee 40 games a season from him I don’t think we’d have a CB issue. Lots of his mistakes and rash moments are due to lack of match fitness (thinking of the yellow card because of his poor touch). Great block to save the points in the end.
Maguire: Similar to DDG, I think he’s now getting in his groove again.
Shaw: seems to have kicked in now we have decent competition for his spot. Not a great deal of output but pressed high, won the ball back and moved it to players that could do something with it.
McT: Poor, ran around a lot and a few good passes but not great.
Fred: A bit better than McT. Not his best game.
Rashford: Thought he tried to do too much at times, like when he knocked the ball when Martial was running on to hit it early in the 2nd half.
Bruno: What else is there to say, would have been capped off with that thunderbolt that the GK tipped on to the bar.
Pogba: Don’t care if he’s playing for a move, if he plays more like that then it’ll only be better for us.
Martial: I thought he was quietly great. Had great hold up play (which I think he’s wildly underrated at), took his chance well and was a great threat.
