A performance of the highest order. Really impressed by the amount of effort and application by the boys today. They played together as a unit and gave it their all. Every player was working with each other. This is what you want to see and not needless bickering and toxic behavior from prima donnas.
In the first half, the City defense was stretched by our front three with gave Lingard ample room for his runs. James in particular on the right was devastating - ended up making a mockery of their LB multiple times through the game. In fact, they were lucky to have not conceded more than two.
In the second, we obviously had to defend more as the legs got tired and City grew into the game. We defended well as a unit and the players looked well drilled. Although a few individuals mistakes crept in but players put their bodies on the line to block shots. We definitely wanted it more than City - that bit was obvious.
Post game, I really enjoyed the moments when players celebrated with the fans. Solksjaer seems like a totally different man than a week ago. His passion and desire to do good by Manchester United is totally established - even if long-term he may not be the right choice. Also enjoyed SAF's smile and reaction to see us do one over the "noisy neighbors".
The incident around the racial abuse and projectiles was a disgrace. These depraved men should never be let inside a football stadium again. It marred what was a great game between two bitter rivals. Thankfully our boys kept their cool and got the job done.
Special Mention: I am astounded by the maturity, ingenuity, pace, control, and decision making of Daniel James. A kid from the championship is showing some established players how it is done. He just kept going and going and going. This guy just doesn't get tired.
