Shite performance but you can't complain too much with a 2-0 away win in a European quarter final.

A game befitting the quality of the Europa Conference League

Gosh that was a truly awful match to watch but an amazing result. Hope we can take it a bit easy for the second leg.

Bit lucky to be 2-0 up with that performance. One foot in the semis now :drool:

I feel like this almost always happens in europa, we win but the game is absolutely rubbish.

Boring game but comfortable win while not needing to get out of second gear which is what we need with the fixtures coming up.

Boring ass game but job done and great result. We should take the chance and rest some players in the 2nd leg, I hope.

It was professional. We look an experienced side despite the young players.

Good result.
A lot of that game wasn’t too far away from the LVG days though. Possession for the sake of it, lots of safe passes.

Shit on a stick, but we've cruised into complete control of this tie so you can't complain. Some lads get an enforced rest next time and hopefully a few more get at least 30 minutes rest as we see the tie out next week.

We’re just a struggle to watch so often. A win is a win, but do we have to be so fecking boring?

Only one word to describe that. Boring but safe to say we are through to the semis

The level of performance at the moment is worrying, it's surely partially due to fatigue so we're going to have to use the fact that we have a big gap to 5th and a healthy lead in this tie now to give some of these guys a rest, but it's a fine result which will give us another European semi final to look forward to which is exciting.

We were crap but feck me Granada were absolutely awful. One of the worst teams we’ve played all season. Absolutely nothing about them.

Job done.
Granada seem like a cnut of a team. Playing dirty but go crying and rolling on the ground after the slightest contact.

Professional enough.

This 90 minutes was a perfect riposte to those lamenting Rashford playing through injuries. We have nothing without him in the front three: Cavani’s done at the top level, Greenwood and James aren’t good enough, Martial’s taken the season off. Frankly, we need Ighalo now more this season!
