Good result and we dominated them, just need to score more goals. Get well soon Pogba.

We haven't a clue how to play with a back 3, they were all over the place in terms of positioning and getting in each other's space trying to play it around at the back.

Scraped through but we were tired. On to the next one. Don't really care who we face the next round. I think we will win this.

That was really dire. Need to be a lot better to win this competition.

That was fecking woeful.

Not entirely sure what Mourinho was thinking tonight. Did nothing to effect the game in any way.

Dull game but we never looked like losing so I'm happy enough.

3 at the back was overkill, but Rostov put everyone behind the ball for almost the entire match. We need to be better at breaking that down but it's always hard, even for the best teams

Fellaini and Romero definitely spiced things up a bit, say we were crap etc but feck me that was one of the most uninspiring displays I've ever seen from a visiting team in my life, no desire to win whatsoever.

Amazing, what a heroic night. We beat the mighty Rostov to claim our place in the last 8 of the Europa league! The dream is still alive

Roma knocked out, which is a bonus. Happy with the game. More goals would always be nice but we're through.

Not really good enough. Shouldn't have had to scrape through against a team on their level. Inevitably they came out in the second half and if they'd have scored one goal they might have gone through or later in the game taken it to extra time and getting that goal can always happen. Romero made a few good saves, MOTM.

Got the job done. Looked decent with Fellaini instead of Pogba. If not better. Who would have thought.

LvG performance..

Pretty awful - totally conservative throughout.. But through! Never really under pressure. I wish we played better football.
