Done and dusted.Good. Job done. Now we can enjoy Sevilla beating Pool tomorrow
Would be the cherry on top no doubtFellainis pic in the motm
No, he has been better. People just refuse to acknowledge it.
That Lukaku first touch pass to Fellaini.
Sometimes?
Bless your socks
Worked a treat today!
lol. He tried his best not to get it though, did you see how he scuffed it into the ground?
Eh, I think he meant it all the way
Bet you had Ronaldo or Messi scored the exact same goal, they'd be applauded for their world class concentration, ability to get it up and over the keeper being a 1 hopper (assessing the situation), and getting the keeper to go the wrong way / putting it across his body
yep, he made a split second decision after realising that he had to get the ball to hurdle the grounded keeper and sliding defenders!Eh, I think he meant it all the way

Isn't every goal scored a goal scorers goal? Being that they are the Goal scorerA goal scorers goal

No Sh!tYoung has these games where he puts in an impressive performance after being out for a while but then has a habit of dropping right off for a long while. Could just be he's hungry to stay in the squad all things considered.
If this is his level from now on I would be tempted to play him more frequently at RB or RW since HM is better in the center. I would likely put him ahead of Darmian at LB also.
Well, yeah ... his split second decision was predicated by, or at the moment he knew Mhiki had been deceived by the defender's deflection from the cross, and that the ball was suddenly coming his way and instinctively knew that failing to volley the ball (in mid flight) at or above its circumference would result in the ball going into row H or beyond! Keeping it down and towards goal was his only concern. Only that way was there any chance to spectacularly crash into the top corner or ... hurdle a couple of sprawling defenders and also get by a goalie who also had expected Mhiki to get a touch before realizing the danger from the incoming Rashford. Pure magic, what more can I say
Why mkh fails in big games is because he thinks and plays too direct and tries to beat players in impossible situations in too much high pressure and looses the ball, he has a tendency to run into traffic with the ball, and at high level defenders just don't let that happen.
When you loose the ball in high press attack could be converted into a chance conceeded within seconds.

Have to say Young had yet another excellent game and for me he just pipped Felly as my man of the match. His first half contributions were immense especially when we lost Pogba. Didn't do as much in the 2nd half as he understandably tired but by then the game was in our hands.
Good run for several other too like Smalling & Lindelof as well as Felly to a lesser extent, who have not featured much so far this season. A comfortable enough game that our unforced errors weren't punished - I had called a 3 - 1 game and those little mistakes should have cost us a goal.
Three valuable points, a few learning experiences, a couple of special moments, some confidence building and still plenty to work on for the squad to improve. All in all, a pretty good night not withstanding the potential loss of one major part of the long-term puzzle.
It did indeed, long may our super substitutions continue!Basel must have gone downhill. I remember them knocking us out of the Champions League, beating Bayern Munich, knocking Spurs out of the Europa League, beating Chelsea home and away in the CL and beating Liverpool. They looked proper wank tonight though.
Yea I saw that...
Lucky the Basel lad stayed on his feet.
Considering your condescending tone, I thought you would have had it in you to respond at least? Or is that less likely now that Fellaini came on instead of Herrera and scored yesterday? See, we can both be a bit cnutish about it.Jeez get a life, Herrera was not even with the match day squad. Your opinion that Herrera is an average player is very wrong regardless who was substituted in or not.- Status
