Kobbie Macheda... he did well again but one of his quieter games besides the goal. At his age, still developing really quickly

Good today at backs to the wall defending but he was dawdling too much on the ball today I thought. Still seems like something he is unable to cut out of his game.

Rashford scored an amazing goal but he was incredibly wasteful on two breakaways which might have led to 1 on 1 situations with Ederson. On another day, we might have done enough to nick it. Disappointing day but it just seems like the same match at the Etihad for the past decade or so. Sit...

We should support our players but it's also fair for fans to expect their heroes to put in 100% effort on the pitch, and not to get drunk before calling in sick for training with 2 hours of sleep. I don't think this recent puff piece by Rashford helps his cause very much because people judge...

While it was agonising watching us grind out the win, we were pretty unfortunate not to have killed off the game much earlier. Luton hardly created anything substantial in the 2nd half. How often will we see Garnacho and Bruno fail to score after rounding the keeper? In fact, we rounded the...

I don't really see this, he was a physical beast right from the time he came in and started manhandling Arsenal's defenders. His hold up play is pretty good (better than Lukaku for sure) but he probably lost the ball earlier on due to some poor first touches. With confidence we are seeing a...

Great at defending today, but he's a step down from Martinez in progressing the play. Helps considerably with aerial bombardments and did well with the assist to Højlund. If anything you have to truly respect his professionalism and dedication to get back in the side - he's no Sancho for sure

Karma for Aston Villa with their diving and all round sh*thousery. Incredible result but the performance was very bad in the 2nd half. Onana with his first really De Gea type of performance. The team performance was 2 steps back from the West Ham game, maybe because Martinez is our only...

He was gash, but admittedly leftback is not his natural position. With how Maguire is playing at the moment, I think he has dropped to 4th choice for the centerback position.

Ref is bobbins with or without VAR. Think we have done ok so far, but Mainoo has been struggling with the pace of the game. Right side sliced open too often for my liking

He was okay against West Ham. Nothing especially dominant but did mostly what you'd expect from a #6, with the assist for Højlund the icing on the cake. Carrick-esque occasionally but with Scholes-like slide tackles which were poorly timed. Still better than Kalvin Phillips though

He is a decent to good PL centreback but he often seems to have a huge error in him. He made 2 mistakes today that really should've led to goals but for Emerson choosing to go for a field goal and Dalot making a last minute saving tackle. Heading still great with the Slabhead, hope he improves.

We are lucky Bowen took 3 business days to shoot... this shows why Maguire is not an elite defender

Martinez has been transformative at centreback. So calm, assured and zips passes into the forwards quickly. Love him!

He was good as a LB, which is remarkable considering he hasn't played there before. Agree with some of the above posters who say he is deceptively comfortable beating the press be it through dribbling or passing, despite his unorthodox style of dribbling. There was a period of time in the second...
