Fred & Bailly each got an assist.

Everything else pales in comparison.

 

[united_99]

Fantastic performance that. Absolutely killed them on the counter all day. Such a shame we fecked it up vs Istanbul, we would actually be pretty well set to compete in the CL imo.

Not really, at least not yet. Their attack was useless and it still gave us some scary moments. We need to be much more compact defensively to properly progress in the CL.

Hes saying it would be very difficult for Ole to explain to the media if we end up losing 5-0 in the second leg....not sure why he needs to say that as it would be obvious

 

[Nickosaur]

Professional performance, really good to watch.

I hope this means we can rest some key players in the next leg. Or Bruno at the very least.

 

[Bilbo]

Hard to see that, considering our record in big games this season. And, well, we had the chance to do some damage against PSG and Leipzig and fecked it up.

This Sociedad team is clearly inferior to any of the sides in the last 16 of the CL. And I'm very happy that we took full advantage of that, it was a very enjoyable night but I don't think it says anything about our hypothetical chances in the CL knockouts.

Well no it doesn't. Obviously. Jesus

We are hard to beat. We don't lose very often, and we tend to thrive against teams that attack us, which most of the CL sides at this stage are capable of doing.

Apologies for offending you with an optimistic comment about the team we all support

Looks well past his best. Not surprised, he's getting on in years.

There’s a young lad at West Ham who’s definitely the future!

 

[Gator Nate]

Never felt threatened. See that Real Sociedad had 8 shots, 2 on target, and I only remember maybe 4. The two on target were easily snapped up by Henderson.

Ole set up well and everyone played well. Bruno was fantastic. James played a very solid game.

The defense did their job like they should and all had input to the offense.

Should be very relaxed on the return leg.

 

[Infra-red]

Felt comfortable - we should have had six.

Defence looks better with Henderson and Bailly instead of De Gea and Lindelof. Decent performances from Fred, McTominay and James, too.

Fantastic performance. Well done Ole and the team

 

[RedIan]

Excellent counter attacking display but RSO gave us far to much space to run in behind them. These are the types of opponents we excell against.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Wasn't too sure about how this would pan out. Was hearing Sociedad were having a real good season and that's they're a pretty good team. That might be the case but we're one of the best counter-attacking sides in the world and today they played right into our hands.

Very good performance from the lads.

Besides the negative tone, Stone wanted to point out that we've never been knocked out of a European competition after winning the 1st leg. The closest we came to that was against Celta de Vigo a few years back in the Europa League semi-finals.

That it would be a major cock up if we went out now.

 

[Livvie]

And in a nutshell, that's why United are the most frustrating team ever - I know football is a funny old game but we are often so good when we aren't expected to be, and so bad when we are.

Superb performance - so much movement and pace. Pleased for Dan James.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Very fun watch. Ole got it spot on. Pleasantly surprised. Hope to see Amad start the 2nd leg.

 

[Real Name]

Perfect European night. We absolutely steamrolled them and played some great stuff out there. It was easier than expected really. Tie over, we can rest about 8 players in the 2nd leg.

It means he was waiting to post that record but it was made irrelevant by the scoreline. Would be funny if Ole still got knocked out though, el-oh-el.

 

[always_hoping]

Turin remains a happy hunting ground.

I still don't see the sense of having 2 legs in the European competitions in these times.

Hopefully Bailly starts again on Sunday. Telles filled in well for Shaw. Both McTominay and Fred played well. Sociedad couldn't deal with Bruno, Rashford at all and a fine individual performance by James.

 

[Red00012]

Job done , we can rotate next week with Chelsea in mind.

I know all that, but instead saying great game, great result, he goes and writes that? 5 mins after the game?!
I guess if he wrote it like above, there would be not enough likes, retweets or comments. It is all about that you know.

 

[Red Royal]

Great score line, some really good play in parts, nice cameo by Amad but we just can’t cut out the brain farts. Bailey looked back to his clumsy old self again.
overall I am happy though!

 

[Siorac]

I just want to avoid the English clubs, partly because I'm sick of them anyway, but also because they're less likely to be similarly naive.

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

Lovely watch.

We've bought ourselves an opportunity to rest legs in the return tie now, hopefully Ole does so.

Excellent performance and win. After a crazy opening five minutes, that was as comfortable a win as it gets. Really enjoyable to watch, stress free for once.
