It was weird seeing our CB-cum-LB playing what seemed to be considerably further up the pitch than our RW-cum-RB. I get that the idea was to stop the CSKA RB who looked dangerous in the first leg from attacking, and I'm probably being very nit-picky but if that was the plan, mightn't it have been better to go with Blind at LB? Rojo was decent and competed well, even a decentish cross or two, I just feel Blind could have made better use of a few of the positions Rojo found himself in. Perhaps not, maybe Blind is better suited to overlapping with late runs rather than having a high starting position like Rojo did today, and perhaps Valencia would have started RB with Young LB had he been fit.
I do think Herrera should have started too (shock horror). Like with Rojo they both actually had good games, I only say this because, A) I'm not sure we needed both Carrick and BFS in order to dominate possession at home to CSKA, and B) with Rooney playing as a striker rather than a 10 one of them which was BFS) had to make forward bursts which Herrera is more suited to.
Lingard was my MOTM. Poor finish in the first half - I actually though his touch to set himself was good and it was just a wank shot, which was the opposite of what Michael Owen said. Idk. Did better when he stayed wide and played as more of a typical winger, which is kind of not what I expected from him (admittedly I've really not seen a lot of him).
