Man Utd 1:0 Benfica - Svilar o.g. (45’)

Man Utd 2:0 Benfica - Blind (78’ pen)

 

[Nick7]

1 more point and we're through top of the group. Job done tonight.

 

[Silas]

Own goal and a pen. Not the most convincing win, but job done.

 

[Trizy]

Good CL so far. We urgently need our injured players back, we look absolutely broken in attack.

 

[el3mel]

Basel lost, that main job done, we're finishing first in this group.

Next two matches we'll play in second gear as this one.

 

[Raw]

Job done. CL knockouts await!

 

[mattunited1978]

Awful match to watch

 

[SirAF]

Job well done - Chelsea next.

 

[alsabi]

Qualification for the CL knockout stage for the first time in four years and first place in the group all but sealed. Job done, even if it wasn't pretty at times.

 

[Hed Zitin]

The result is about all that can be taken from that.

Total boring rubbish to watch.

 

[p2pZeus]

Basel lost, we can play our youngsters in the last 2 CL games!

 

[Andersons Dietician]

Weird kinda game.

 

[Rado_N]

"they should have scored so it's a fake scoreline"

"Messing over who takes the penalty was embarrassing"

Genuine quotes from the match thread.

 

[ManUArfa]

Well if we end up winning the PL or the ECL who's going to complain about how we did it?

 

[kouroux]

Winning was the most important thing. Otherwise another ugly match, there are more ugly matches than good ones this season.

 

[Dyslexic Untied]

Very aggressive and solid. Hard work from all. Lukaku deserves a break soon.

 

[Zlatattack]

Good result, not going to groan about the performance, we have a lot of injuries and deficiencies we've discussed to death.

I'd like to see us win the remaining matches though, even if we have qualified.

 

[ivaldo]

Professional performance. Done what we needed to do without getting out of 2nd gear. Roll on Chelski.

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Good result.

Really think we need to start playing better though. Our play has dropped off a cliff recently.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Can't complain with the result. Felt like a bit of a grind though.

 

[alsabi]

1 more point and we're through top of the group. Job done tonight.

We could lose both and still easily finish top - just need to avoid losing by three goals + to either team and we come out on top in the head-to-head goal difference.

 

[Kapardin]

As usual, functional. Too many saves by De Gea though, our defense was uncharacteristically off the boil today. Then again, looking at Chelsea's defending in the other game, perhaps I am being harsh on us.

Until we get Pogba, Fellaini and even Ibra back, we just need to grind out the wins playing unpretty football.

 

[GrandJury]

4 games, 4 wins.

Clearly not good enough, Jose has lost it and we should sack him and bring in Poch because he drew with Madrid once.

 

[drmuji]

And I thought we had touched the lowest depths of boredom under LVG. As I found today, there was still another level ....

 

[breakout67]

Zzzzz...Top of the group and on to the Chelsea game.

 

[Ban]

Comfortable win, did what we had to do. Onwards and upwards. And where is Pogba ffs?

 

[Tarrou]

Job done. We haven't been too convincing in the CL so far, but hopefully we'll improve as the competition goes on.

 

[Hugh Jass]

Not the most convincing of performances but we won. Just need a point now.

Was wishing Lukaku would take the second penalty.

 

[Raoul]

Happy we're through. Looked like a glorified training match. The attack issues are still a concern.

 

[Ban]

"they should have scored so it's a fake scoreline"

"Messing over who takes the penalty was embarrassing"

Genuine quotes from the match thread.

Haha I remember that guy who called Blind steppin up to take a pen embarrassing.

 

[Magnus]

Martial and Rashford are the ones I always enjoy watching but they will never ever start together. I don't understand it. But 3 points and ONE LOVE

 

[midou]

I want to comment on the punditry for this game - Savage, Parker the Canadian guys from TSN... just an awful mixture between bias and pure incompetence. I don't remember being so angry after such a relatively easy win.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Shite game good result. No complaints here.

 

[Randall Flagg]

Let’s never speak of October again

Glad the month is over. Awful performances but plenty of clean sheets and a few wins

 

[dichinero]

Match, meh and dull. Result, good. Roll on the next game

 

[VanHaal'sRedArmy]

Even the scoreboard knows what we're missing (P)(OG).

 

[shaggy]

Job done and we have basically finished top of the group but awfully dull to watch.

We desperately need some more attacking quality.

 

[Rado_N]

That felt like a group game under SAF.

 

[iluvoursolskjær]

Shameful. Abolsutely sickening *vomits*

Othetwise solid performance but my concerns remain.

 

[automaticflare]

4 games 4 wins basically through

Shite game shite performance no pace intensity players were visibly told to save themselves

Multiple times matic telling players to slow down. Don't think he ran at all a game
