    This is the kind of win, moaning notwithstanding, we need to see more of against inferior opposition.

    Yeah but he never got to the ball and the defender tried to play it after which is a new phase of play.
    People complain about VAR but I can see 6 weeks of this melting heads when it impacts important stages in matches.
    Oh the complicated shit. He should have let it play out and not flagged it anyway.

    Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

    Or was it a genius run that took a players attention off Rashford?
    It's a basic striker run forcing the defenders to choose, thus opening up space for either a dribble or a pass. So not necessarily genius, though nicely put in practice here, since it's easy to forget tactics like these. But it's definitely not an "almost fuk up" :lol:

    Got the result. Performance was decent although nervy defensively at times.

    Rashford was class in that 2nd half. What a goal he scored!

    Job done. Good warmup before the league. Hope the players got their mistakes out of them in this game.

    Dubravka was comical at times, but McTominay had a nothing performance. It's like playing with 10 men.

    Positive, Martial is not injured.

    Dubravka :lol:

    can we not a decent number 2 to challenge DDG and not have 3/4 GK’s that are there to make up numbers in training

    Dubravka, Garnacho, Elanga, Bruno, Antony and McT were all shite.

    We've done what was needed and the Rashford goal was class. Nicely done with players missing.

    Apart from the Bruno yellow, it was decent game. Brilliant work by AWB for the first and brilliant goal by Rashford.

    Is there anywhere where I can watch a short resume of the match? My country doesn’t show league cup or champions league matches.

    I went for 0-1 defeat I feel bad now.

    Bruno probably wanted to get suspension out of the way, he was fishing for a yellow. Or just being Bruno, who knows.
