Love the FA cup so always happy when we progress to the next round.

Otherwise, I love Casemiro :drool: :drool: :drool:

If Carroll got sent off earlier we'd be in trouble.

Job done, though I was starting to get nervous after 1st half ended 0-0. We're into next round which is most important, draw for 5th round is Monday evening, think before Derby-West Ham game.
Think it was more that they decided to just have a go. Their attitude to the game they were beaten in the tunnel.

Happy with that overall. I love Casemiro. Antony was lively too. Bit dissapointed with Garnacho and Pellistri but they only had 20 mins. AWB was very good too

Madrid tried their best to keep Casemiro. This ITV presenter hasn’t got a clue

Some of the platers need to sharpen up as we go into business end of season. The squad is going to be very important but Maguire and Lindeloff should be kept apart in teams, they just weaken the team.

Antony was better but still has a long way to go before starting every game and hopefully Sancho coming back might give him the kick up the backside he needs.

I think Antony will surprise many on here with his progression. He has a lot more to his game than most people give him credit for
He even used his right foot today. And I agree with you. He will improve a lot, I am sure, but he is already having an impact. His style is naturally aggressive; he looks like a winner.

Easy night. Anthony was really good as was his Brazilian team mate. good to rest a few players.
Mainoo looked very composed sitting in holding midfield.

Andy Carroll should have gone for the tackle on Erikson, feckin dangerous lump of shite.

How are the MOTM decided? Surely the guy who scored the first 2 goals was more important.

I just saw Antony use his right foot and he took some corners. Did anyone else see that?

Accuracy in and around the penalty area. Be it the final pass or shot. There's so much room for improvement there.

That we're still winning plenty of games even with that shortfall is really promising.

Casemiro easily MOTM. AWB was very good, as was Antony. Lindelof put in a solid shift, although I need to watch how he acquitted himself on the goal we conceded. But apart from that, Lindelof was very good.

Ten Hag said he doesn’t understand why Rashfords goal was disallowed. Have to agree. It wasn’t offside. People just think it was because Dickson said it was

What would Cruyff think of your progess so far?

That’s the most left field question I’ve ever heard

Comfortable game for united, could have been a perfect result had it been a clean sheet was kept. The disallowed goal should also have stood. The decision making of VAR officials needs to improve!

First halve was boring. Even fergie thought so which is why he went sleep :lol: Livened up second halve though.

Because when the ball was played one of our players was offside. And then he touched it later in same phase of play. I don't see what the fuss is about.

Ten Hag handled that interview well considering the bizarre twist it took.

Knew we’d break them down eventually, it was a relatively comfortable game, a little frustrating that we didn’t get the break through in the first half but once we did it was an easy game. Casemiro is different class, Antony looked more dangerous, also liked Fred and Mainoo off the bench.
