Take a boring second half every week after smashing 4 goals in the first half

I thought we missed Rooney's explosive first touch in the first half...

I don't think we played that well, Leicester were absolutely awful. Not sure we ever got above 3rd gear at most.

On the whole, very good.

I'm a little annoyed by the second half performance, but the game was over and I suppose it's to be expected.

The End?
Pogba and Mata dominated that first half. Spectacular football, and with the amount of football the team's played recently, the slower second half is perfectly understandable. Great game overall.

Goals notwithstanding, I thought Bailly was immense today.

Pogba was really good, but I don't think hes played much below this level of quality in any games so far for us tbh. Herrera at holding against this type of team is a good idea. Mata at 10 unsurprisingly looks a different player. Bailly and Blind are immense.

Good professional performance in the second half - keeping the match under control after doing all the hard work in the first half. Good game management.

Individually, Blind, Pogba, Mata and Herrera were the stand outs.

K.O first half! We should try that more often. Leicester were poor as hell though.

Great performance.

Pogba and Mata were great, Rashford is the fastest player in the league IMO, and as dangerous as any. Zlatan won so many duels (and lost so many chances), Herrera was perfect in his new role, Blind fantastic at corners, Bailly won everything, and Smalling scored a brilliant header when we were under pressure.

Best and most enjoyable performance in a long time. All it took was a single decision to make.

Took the foot off the gas in the second half, still could have scored a couple. We played very well and some very encouraging signs, still have Mkhitaryan, Shaw and Martial to come back into this team. Slightly sloppy at times but we could afford to be with no Mahrez or Vardy on the pitch. If we play like we did in the first half against most teams, we'll blow near enough anyone we play away. Looking very difficult for Rooney to make his way back into the team.
