I think quite a few people here need to get a grip.
Yes it was a tedious game and I actually get some of comparisons to LvG's teams, for some reason and I'm guessing it is confidence, alot of players seem to be scared of trying to pass inbetween the lines. There were quite a few times when a pass was on in that game only for various players, Rashford expecially, to play it safe rather than risk a pass.
I think a huge part of this is confidence. Your home record in the league has been very poor and the team were desperate for a win to stop the rot, regardless of how they got it.
3 points is step one, the next is to do it again, get a decent win against Istanbul there and that will also help.
Fred looks like he is trying to find those passes, as does Bruno, but not may others are, you need to take a few more risks, but when you're on such a poor home run, you can understand why players feel the need to play safe.
One step at a time, it's a funny season. You're above City and Arsenal (with a game in hand on them) and only 6 points off the top and 4 points off the top 4. Your start to the season hasn't been the best but it certainly hasn't been the worst of the top 6 either. This season is still very much in play for you.
