Fully deserved win. Character, determination to be admired. The win against a side that haven't lost away from home since March and lost none of their CL group games last season which included a 2-0 win in Anfield.

No passages of play, lost the players, no clue, no tactics, no subs...am I doing it right??

Amazing second half, strange first half, well deserved win.
Top of the group...

DDG is back in form. It’s a shame we keep giving away silly goals.

Important win.

When are we ever going to keep a clean sheet again though. The formation is terrible

Game of two halves, where UTD came out after the first half and actaully played.

That was a very entertaining second half. Great header from Ronnie to win it. Of course it had to be him.

I'm still extremely nervous for the weekend though. If we play like the first half, we won't be able to come back. Atalanta basically collapsed in the second half.

Scholes didn’t enjoy the second half. What’s the point of being in the CL if you can’t enjoy nights like these?

Dreadful first half. Good second half. Still lots to be very concerned about.

It’s never boring

I never understand those that say we are boring

As delighted I am, the team is flying too close to the sun so often we have to get more solid, The next 4 games are still make or break.

I’m still optimistic he will get this right and end up having a good season

Don't let the 3 goals make you forget what happened in the first half. Atlanta lost more half their team by half time. Papering over cracks and nothing else, much like our previous two wins.

What a game. Fantastic watch.

I mean, sure, we made hard work of a team that was losing roughly two centre-backs per second this season - but it was an absolutely thrilling game of football.

Today they played with heart. That's what's missing recently. Pashun.

Great result and a great recovery in the 2nd half, but let’s not forget how bad we were in the 1st and how exposed we still looked at times later in the game.
Papering over the cracks?

Is it true 5 of Atalanta first teamers wasn’t playing? Would have been embarrassing loosing to their B team if that was the case. Good fight back win and we are where we should be in the group. Not convinced with the performance though.

Glad we got the win, exciting game. But always feel less into it when I have no hope for the current situation. A collection of world class individuals who should be doing so much better than they are, and that's all down to the manager. The sooner Ole goes the better. But I feel like he'll kinda drag on for a while yet which is to the benefit of nobody.

Ask any neutral who was the better team from start to finish, and they'll tell you it was us. But of course people here are gonna continue to moan. And if nothing else it proves at least Ronaldo is fully behind Ole. Not just the goal but the intensity of his performance today from the start.

Very, very, very lucky. Can't fault the "heart", but with the amount of talents on the field and squad, they need to do much, much, much better. Ole has made some progress, improved the team and the whole club in general definitely, but for this team to progress further, a better manager is needed.

What a return. Amazing second half performance, and this is the way I want to see us play.

I'll save the bitching for what the feck we did in the first half and how this is just paper over the cracks for tomorrow.
