Evans playing really well
Our fans in good voice 
To be fair a lot of us have thought that for a good while. Moyes obviously agrees in part because he's now only used as backup.
AwesomeOur fans in good voice
I've gotta say, jones and giggs complement each other pretty well. Say we bought bender/schneiderlein instead of jones and pjanic instead of giggs, that could be the makings of a great midfield. We should be looking to replace carrick as well really.
We don't look too shabby here. Staying tight on 'em, fighting. No feck-ups now before the whistle.
Probably our best defender this season.
Best defender I've seen in a United shirt but this should be his last season.
The sheer pace of Nani.
Poor Giggsy
Jesus Nani, do better
Well your right with that, but both things are down to inexperience. Leverkusen probably lack a bit in terms of individual quality in addition to that.
feck Nani. That just put them back on the attack.
This is unusually easy.
A good cross from Smalling
feck that, man - Bender and whatsisface got nothing on Phil and Methuselah.
Giggs is having a decent game, quietly playing simple effective passes
Don't say the bloody 'e' word yet!
Who's the Bayer player that looks like a young Donald Sutherland?
Giggs controlling midfield. Not quite how Souness painted it before kick off
First time in a long time (since we played them at home
) that a team looks scared of us and resigned to defeat.Surely that was handball
Smalling & Valencia seem to have so much space on the right, Valencia in particular is often free& unmarked
1-1 in the City game, please let it be a Hart howler.
Souness at half time is going to be a joy
Leverkusen are poor tonight though.
Viva Ronaldo!
Yep. Effective being the most important thing. I don't want him to do a Cleverley etc of just ticking it over but he is playing forward/attacking balls which we need
Nice of them to not bother putting a cross in there.Greatest half away from home by far this season
Good half. Don't throw it away.
Pleased with that, best attacking football for a long time.
Alright, now get one more and close it down for once.
Superb half.
Only negatives would be rio being shaky again and I would like to see a lot more from Nani.

Keifer Sutherland. New career.
Leverkusen is simply way too scared. There are also no signs of actually fighting back. Zero movement, way too slow, way too many misplaced passes.
They are right now a shadow of what they play in the league.
In the end, they are simply not cut out for the grand international stage. Weird given the fact that they can compete with Dortmund and Bayern.
United uses the given space very well, though. Looking good so far.
Best performance of the season by a mile. Can't believe how lacklustre Leverkusen are, we are first to every ball. Brilliant stuff.
Best half of the season arguably.
Lovely first half. Kagawa showing he really is a #10, Evans is a fecking beast and Giggs running things.
On a side note that half seemed to last really long.
