    Best half of the season for me.

    We'd assumed this team was challenging for the league title if we didn't know any better.

    Wish the finishing was better, but a great half of positive attacking football. Keep at it lads and get a few more.

    Here me out guys but I think Rojo might be better than Lindelof. His toughness might be a better combination for maguire. However I font feel maguire is that comfortable on the right.
    I've actually always been a fan of rojo (and lindelof for that matter). both are way way ahead of the magic pair (jones and smaling)

    Rash deserves a goal so hopefully comes in the second half.

    Partizan are a bit crap I think but ignoring that, I cannot remember a more enjoyable half of football from us in ages.

    Excellent 1st half. Really enjoyable to watch when we play like this. Should be winning by a lot more.

    More of the same please but take our chances.

    Bring on both Garner & Williams for this 2nd half. The game is won and qualification secured.

    Good half.
    Rashford should have a hat trick. Needs to be more clinical.

    Rashford needs to calm down. The goal for him will come if he just chills the feck out.

    He also needs to stop smiling and laughing to himself after yet another miss.

    Why are player performances closed? :confused: Fred's had his best half in a united shirt.

    Yeah, Young has been up the pitch quite a bit, and our 20min spell of good football involved almost no passes to Young, even when he was free and others were in traffic. I guess he's playing as he's suspended for Sunday.
    It’s an obvious tactic with the fullbacks pushing up but it’s just kinda funny seeing the space there on the counter. We couldn’t do this in the PL.

    Good half.

    Fred has been very good in midfield and all the attackers are playing well.

    McT needs to wake up and christ Rashford cant finish.

    One thing for sure, if we insist on playing a #10 (not that I want that) then it should be Mata, not Lingard or Periera...
    Mata is done. Watch Pereira come on the second half and run rings around these farmers

    Great 1st half, really entertaining and some really nice link-up play.
    Rashford has been great, finishing aside, and so has Martial.
    Fun watch!

    Is it too much to wish for an equally good second half? I'm being greedy aren't I?

    From now on I’m watching the Spanish language broadcast on Univision, especially if Rojo is playing...his name is suddenly magical.

    Playing well against some mediocre opposition. Naturally Rashford's finishing leaves alot (alot) to be desired but his all-round game is good.
    Martial MOTM at present.

    But they are not coached, or something... Ole and Phelan are crap. Am I doing this right?

    I know its only Belgrade blah blah.

    Good performance but Rashford is so frustrating sometimes. Ole must be tearing his hair out at how Marcus has missed some absolute sitters.

    Some exciting and good football, the Martial goal was sublime. Mata and Young clearly the weak links...as per usual when they play.
    Hopefully Ole changes them both in second half and we get a couple of more goals to build some much needed confidence.

    Should be 5-0 ahead at half time. Rashford 5 chances no goals the only black mark in that half but at least he's getting into good positions and loads of chances are created which is rarely happens nowadays..

    Very good half in our most important competition now to be honest. But Rashford although being a very good player & to play in the front positions just isn’t a natural finisher at all

    Rashford though haven't scored loos to be the best out of the lot. Martial back to aww'ing people. AWB has been very good too , constantly bombing the right flank.

    Seriously where the hell has all this come from? Actually enjoying watching us for the first time in what feels like forever.
    Second time actually. We were quite good in the Norwich game as well.

    I think having Martial back has changed the attacking side of our play significantly. Rashford just can't hold up play the same way.

    Both of them also seem to have a very good understanding of each other.

    Jeez l, actually have some attacking football on show. Hopefully more on show in the second half. Will enjoy it as long as it lasts though. I'd expect some of the younger players to come on as we're comfortably ahead.

    Martial did an excellent job for his goal. There were lads sliding in everywhere and the goalkeeper closing him down. Great goal. Greenwood's was rather more straight forward. Rashford should really have a goal to his name though.
