I really should be asleep ahead of a real crunch day at uni tomorrow, but instead I'm sitting awake in bed beaming as I watch these videos. Thank you for making this thread - one for the bookmarks for sure!

Fair play to the big man, he's really come through with the goods exactly when required the last couple of games. Think he only had a couple of previous braces for us since he arrived, amazing for him to come through with two more in quick succession. Three of those four were cracking finished...

Gutted for Quagliarella, would have been nice to see him break the record!

Solid performance today, some really key defensive contributions when the game was still hanging in the balance.

Found he was dropping unnecessarily deep to take possession at points today, would much prefer he focuses on getting on the end of chances in the box. Dalot put one on a plate for him, and put another few good crosses in to the box in exactly the sort of areas you'd expect Lukaku to be...

Can anyone tell me the longest run of consecutive PL starts he's had under Mourinho please?

I really like Allegri. The strength of will he's forged in that Juve team is something else, the way they came back from a poor start to win the league a couple of seasons ago, and how they've fought till the end to (seemingly) overcome Napoli this season is very impressive. It's a real shame...

100%, had our back line looking so much tighter & more assured. Seemed to have a positive effect on Smalling most of all. Shame about the OG, I'm just glad he got over whatever was bothering him in the aftermath! Let's hope he's solid for the rest of the season.

Great performance from Young today, worked tirelessly and helped to keep Salah very quiet.

Hopefully a good omen for tomorrow!

Unfortunately a very timid performance once he came on today, never really looked to drive forward and instead dragged the ball back towards our half and left it to someone else to do the hard work. I'm a big fan of the boy and wish his horrible injury never happened, but his time is probably up...

I'm getting a similar feeling I've had with a few of our signings the last 4 years - Depay, Falcao etc - where at first it seems like they're just not getting the rub of the green, then it begins to dawn on you that they're probably just not good enough. He hasn't really excelled in any area...

No excuse for going down like a sack of potatoes there. Becoming less convinced by him with each game he plays now.

Surely the best position for Sanchez is to be at #10 with Martial on the left and Lukaku up front. Lingard/Mata/Rashford can fill the right side.

Is Lindelof still alive? Surely he's a better option than Smalling (and Jones some weeks).
