Woah. What to say. That was so, so enjoyable. I expected an exciting game vs them but something like this? Not in a million years.
Finally we started on the front foot, grabbed them by the throat from minute one and it paid of. Finally we played like we should every time at OT and we didnt concede first and we got rewarded.
Leeds kept playing the same from the 1st minute and it was good for us cause they were open but they had some good chances too and luckily DDG was in a beast mode again.
In attack we looked fantastic, other than 6 goals we had chances to score 7 or 8 more actually. We were fluid, moved all around, opened up spaces and Leeds couldn't contain us. For a period of time both in 1st and 2nd half we looked like wa could score in every attack.
Scott was in Maradona mode today, he looked like a top class midfielder. He's a first player in PL history to score 2 goals in the 1st 3 minutes. He receives a lot of flak but he's a really good, solid midfielder who's important in our system, especially in this sort of games. Fred again had a good game, was playmaking, passing, tried to score a goal too in a position in which he should have passed but never mind.
Lindelof and Maguire were good but again shaky in some situations and still dont fill me with confidence as a pair. Shaw was decent I though, AWB was again caught in no man's land few times. Rashford had a good game, shame he didnt score. Martial has everything right not, opening up, dribbles, passes but he frozes in front of the goal. Once he somehow manages to be clinical again he'll go on a streak. Daniel James I was surprised he was in the starting linep but actually he was pretty decent and had a nicely taken goal. Bruno, what to say it wasnt already said. He's Manchester United. Again a goal and what was it 2 assists or something?
All in all afer a bad start of the season things are looking pretty good. It looks like something is building, we are going somewhere as a team and still have potential for even more.
Things which is a difference between us being in and around top 4 and challenging is defense and consistency.
I wont say it but in this point of time we're in the mix for the.. I wont say it.
Finally few words about Leeds. Its all good and well, Bielsa a managerial genious, pressing, attacking football but I rather see us trashing them then being lauded and sitting 3 points above an awful Arsenal. In other words Ole gets too much stick while some managers are celebrated beyond any sense.
