Good to see Bailly return and Mkhitaryan score his first goal. Apart from that, it was a professional job.

Zlatan scores again but I think we would be better without him slowing down our attacks. Mhki superb as per usual.

No injuries, 2 great goals, great win and qualification.

Now let's get back and win on Sunday.

Job done. Wasn't the most convincing performance but we were much the better side nonetheless. Good to Miki's first goal which really well taken and Bailly played well on his return.

Hopefully now that EL is out of the way our league form improves.

Glad Bailly wasn't sent off, happy for Mkhitaryan and Zlatan. Pleased Fosu-Mensah came on. Overall no complaints. Big test against Spurs this sunday

Positives aplenty as we qualified for the next round. Mkhi got his 1st goal, Bailly completed 90 mins on his comeback and looked good. Ibra keeps his tally ticking after a frustrating evening, Pogba also put in a much better 2nd half performance after abysmal first half.

Now please for love of God can we get 3pts vs Spurs on Sunday.

Who do we have a chance of playing now in the next round?
The 1st place EL teams: APOEL, Saint-Etienne, Zenit, Roma, Bilbao or Genk, Ajax, Shakhtar, Schalke, Fiorentina, Sparta Prague, Osmanlispor
And 4 of the top seeded CL teams: Copenhagen, Lyon and Besiktas (there's also Spurs but we can't face them in the next round).

Never easy games, the win and no injuries all that matters

Excellent, professional performance. Never in trouble, controlled the tempo, the possession and the action areas. Won the game and no injuries, job done

Shaken, and very stirred......
Really pleased with that. The conditions were shite but the team played to win. Now we go into the pot of, what is it, 32 teams? Bloody hell this is a draining competition....

Decent performance overall, professional but boring as hell to watch before Mkhi gave us a great goal.

I think the path of least resistance to the CL is winning the Europa league.

We haven't look great yet, only at patches, but we have time to improve.

A good run in the league next would be ideal. Hopefully Mou finds his first 11 and stick with it.

Very Mourinho like away from home performance. Keep things tight and score a couple.

Good performance.

Given the condition of pitch it can be called a good performance. Fantastic goal by Mkhitaryan.
We finish 2nd in group and can draw a tough team but that's for later. We will need to beat couple of good ones on our way anyway if we want to win the thing.

Professional performance in tough conditions

Couldn't ask for anymore
This. It went as would have expected. We didnt create much, but did the business.

This is what Mourinho was looking for against Feynoord and Fernabachce.

It will be more of the same away from home both in europe and in the PL.

We were very considering the weather and that awful pitch. Bailly immense tonight, so good to have him back. Micki getting and better. Pogba very good too, bossed the game

Lads got the job done. Nice to see Bailly back and Mickey Taryan scoring his first of many to come hopefully. Great assist for Pogba as well.

Had to miss this one unfortunately. Seen the goals though, very nice. How did Bailly look after his problem?

Roma, Bilbao and Spurs are toughest of the remaining teams, I'd rather we get Roma now and get them out of the way.
