This game was exactly what I wanted Jose to do for a few games.
Play 3 in the middle to give Pogba free-role/freedom to roam around.
Don't need to the wide wingers and all the crossing. United don't have proper wingers that can deliver good crosses anyways.
Boring first half. More of the second half please.
Needed a win and we finally got one. Small sample size but it’s not surprised me that the attack looked much more fluent without Lukaku. Posted a while back that I’m sure we would look at least as good or better with Martial on top. We’ll see how it looks for the next few games.
asked for a tagline change and all I got was this.

Great 2nd half. Overall the match was always under control and first half too gave impression that a good decision making is all it will take to win it given the counter opportunities we were having.
