We have world class players, we need a world class manager. I love Ole but he has to go. He doesn't have a plan, he is late to make subs, he is just not world class manager.

Definition of smash and grab. We were so poor but it’s a huge win!

Cavani was such a good sub. He brings this much needed aggressiveness to our attack.

It's incredible how many times we come from behind and score in Fergie time

Thank feck for the win. Regardless from the performance, it was vital and now I can see us going through, hopefully.

That was so so horrible. It's actually painful how bad we are.
But we stole it, so yay I guess. Got away with it massively and that's given us a lifeline in the CL after we got played off the park here.

Important to start playing well and rely less on luck though. Not sure it'll happen with Ole.

Absolutely huge win. Cannot overstate its importance.

Diabolical performance though. Hopefully the win will give us a moral boost or something so that we can start playing actual football soon

First half was a car crash in slow motion.

Last 20 I was really impressed with the work rate, especially Cavani. Really threw himself about.

Class from Lingard and Ronaldo at the end.

It's far from a sustainable model though, we really need to grow tactically and soon.

Easy?

Hopefully that gives everyone a lift and we can start to pick up some momentum.

Matic, Fred and Lingard all played a part in that goal. Amazing subs by Ole. I take back all I said in the matchday thread.. until the next match!

They're a tough team to beat. It was a good performance, still a bit rusty and sloppy the odd time but a much improved performance. The 4141 looked pretty decent and functional for the most part too, that was fairly positive.

Poor performance. Bailed out by Ronaldo. Seems it will be a similar story line through our season.

Horrible play. Saved by DDG, a set piece, brilliant last min team goal and shit shooting by them.

Ole is absolutely clueless. Saved by DDG.

Dalot should retire.

Cavani should come much earlier. Better start him.

Pogba invisible. Bruno good to average.

Oleball at its finest. The problems are obvious for all to see. I'll take the win and a last minute Ronaldo winner any day though. Also what a strike from Telles.
