Three out of three including two away wins. We're basically through to the next round.

What happened to Benfica? Utter garbage.

We were very good second half.

Todays performance shows that we might really be a one man club after all.

I'm talking about Fellaini obviously

Our play in the final third is depressing, 9 points now so I'm happy with that but we have to improve. Mikhitaryan needs a rest.

Wait for the thread to explode in: "3 points, another one bites the Mou Dust"

Job done. Can't think of anyone who played well. Mhki was particularly rubbish. However, we won. That's all that matters.

PS) loved Jesse's cheap fouls in stoppage time. True Jose Mourinho stuff that! :lol:

If that backline hadn't defended so well and a few of our attacking players were playing better we'd have scored more. Still, I'll take it.

Decent second half.
Away win without getting out of first gear.

we looked out of place for the first 25 minutes but controlled the game well after that.. too many players of our attacking unit looking out of touch not helping..

Job done but painful to endure. I really hope that it was Jose's instructions to save energy for PL in the weekend. Other than that - I'm annoyed I stayed up to watch this.

Better second half, but not good enough in the final third. Benfica are a poor side, so I'd expect more.

Matic was great, as was the CB's.

Benfica are in the shit based on their business model of selling players if that lot don't develop and improve.
