That was a fun game to watch. Even after that first goal, I felt comfortable that we'd get it back. Thought the goals we gave up were defensive lapses that you pay for against Liverpool but probably get away with against lesser sides. But then, much as we hate Pool, they are a top quality side. They force mistakes, and you have to force them into mistakes. That's what good football teams do.
Cavani should have had a goal. That header was incredible. Six inches to the left and it's in.
I didn't think Van de Beek was as bad as some make out - he made some good passes. I do think he's still acclimating to the league and Ole likes to slow roll that. (And yes, there's a lot more to that discussion than I'll put here.)
Neither side put out their "Best XI," but both of those squads would do well in a full season. We were fairly evenly matched, but I felt like we had slightly more control of the opposition except for a few odd moments.
Looked like Marcus and Mason are finding their form again. Maybe. Hopefully. Both were class.
Cavani contributes even without the goals. And he's leading out there. Need more of that. Ole's building it.
Pogba doing a solid job again.
Henderson's probably a half-step behind DeGea, but I do like Dean's distribution a bit better, as well as the fact that he appears a bit more vocal with the back line.
Anyway, great win and can't wait for Sheffield United.
