Yeah his celebration had me smiling even more than his goal did.Definitely my favourite moment of the match.
Marvelous to hearMou and Sourness looking depressed in the studio, fecken love it!!
100% spot on.I am buzzing! Going to ignore any negatives for now and enjoy the shock result.
Rashford and Martial answered a few questions. So glad they got their goals.
Delighted for Dan James.
Pogba doing what he is does best and gets a couple of assists.
Maguire was a rock, sorry I mean slab. Couldn’t resist
AWB was an absolute machine, the lad is class.
Greenwood got minutes which is good against a good team.
Lindelof looks great next to Maguire and they are going to have a great partnership.
Shaw looked decent and will benefit from the other 3 at the back.
De Gea solid as per. Pereira got an assist.
Lingard had some good bits of play, especially his little one two’s and has bags of energy had good movement. He showed a glimpse of what he can do when he was about to pull off a great dribble past their whole back line and was hacked.
McTominay much better than Matic, but is NOT a holding midfielder.
That was probably for his dad.Authoritative game from big Harry and AWB. They both look like money well spent. Rash and Martial grew into the game. Pogba didn’t have his best game today but even when he’s not at his best he’s capable of moments like that. Couldn’t be happier for James, the raw emotion when he scored was beautiful.
Lampard deflecting.Lampard defecting. A career trait.
Bloody autocorrectLampard deflecting.
Some other post in this thread talked about the quality of pressing. I assume it is something you work on day by day, we've seen an improvement there, but it definitely has to improve more to be effective in every game. And even then it is fairly possible that it wont work every single time, that's why is very interesting to see the manager address the problem quickly and switch tactics to something that suits better the on going scheme in the match. On the contrary there's the stubborness we saw before, which we all now if horse crap.Completely agree I also felt the enjoyment watching United defend, with not a Jones, Smalling or Young in sight.
Valid concern going forward, though, that the pressing wasn't working and the sitting deep and breaking was the only real style we saw towards the end of last season. Worked a charm today (!), but the pressing game is the one that's ultimately needed, so how can that be implemented, if it's what Ole ultimately wants?
I was just pulling your leg, mateBloody autocorrect
I thought mctom was good at times today. Not flawless but good. Pogba contributed so little in the first half that he had to do a lot to compensate. Might be that mctominay is good but just not good enough to do it all on his own like kante or someone similar have done in the pastWould be scary to think if we had a solid CDM. Very good today. Lingard was very good aswell but don't see him getting many mentions.
Maguire and AWB were absolute class, couldn't be happier with our defense. De Gea with a few key saves aswell.
I never seen Martial run that much before. But what topped it off was seeing SAF smiling and laughing.
