Post-match discussion


Tue, 24 November 2020

Good win. VdB and Telles very good. Both should start next game. Bruno being Bruno. Martial needs some rest.
 
Great first half, shit second.

Where would we be without Bruno? At times we feel like a one man team.

Our reliance on him reminds me of Liverpool with Gerrard before Torres came.
 
A match that summed up this United. Half the good United, half the awful United.
 
Second half we stopped playing but first half was really a fun watch and all goals were fun. First and fourth goal especially were great.

That's CL group pretty much done I believe. Onwards and upwards to the league.
 
Cavani and VDB class. Any other group and we'd be feeling very confident. Still in the balance though
 
Grand win. Took the foot off it in the second half.

Was impressed with VDB in Mf.
 
Well, 30 minutes of football was enough this time. Let's forget the rest, especially the second half.

Van de Beek was really good. A point against PSG and we're through.
 
Good win, still pissed about match day 3 though, should have wrapped this up.

1 point needed now but 2 very tough games.
 
Very good tonight, offensively at least. Defence was a bit of a worry at times though.
 
Thought we were fairly poor for month of the game. The second half and the time between the second goal and the penalty. Two cracking goals to book end the game though, can’t complain too much. I wish we would play like the first 20 minutes more often.
 
Good win overall. Played great at times, got a bit shaky and lucky there towards the end.
Bruno and Rashford are our only creative players, shouldnt have been taken off at the same time without Mata coming on.
Martial will lose his place in the team soon and he should. Cavani is better and plays with a lot more effort.
 
Tuanzebe better than Lindelof and Maguire.Van De Beek better than Pogba.Good game overall.
 
Good win. Cant see what the fuss is about 5 subs, nobody really plays well after using them.
Plus if anybody dismisses 9 goals in 2 CL games to stretch a point about our home form this season then theyre chasing an agenda.
 
Excellent football in the first half, bit flat in the 2nd bit too attacking with the subs but happy with the 3 points
 
I'd like to see Cavani and VDB be generic starters from here on. Unless we have to adapt to a big side like PSG, they should really play.

Cavani shows more as a focal point and I felt Martial didn't lose too much influence from left for the first half. Rashford looked comfortable on the right. VDB has qualities to play as a 10 or an 8 so it works for me.
 
Sloppy 2nd half but it truth it was United easing off after having that match won after 35 mins. That's 7 home European wins in a row scoring 24 goals and conceding only 2 goals
 
Lovely quick passing on display, just need the concentration. Cavani is class.
 
Good win. Made changes at right time but changed the 2nd half a fair bit.



Van beek was quality tonight. Great to see him get a start with a strong team on.


Great that Greenwood back in, looked lively as well.
 
A game of 2 halves but well deserved overall. Shows how much we do rely on Bruno though as our input dropped when he went off. Good goal for James will do his confidence good, as well as VDB and Greenwood. I would now drop Martial who was bang average and try Greenwood with Cavani and Rashford upfront.
 
Good game. Lots of positives. No need to get too forensic.

great to see Cavani, Telles and DVDB play a whole 90 mins. Took the foot off the pedal at 3-0, which is not unusual. Subs disrupted the game, but worth it to rest players.

we are on a really good position. 1 point from 2 games needed. Happy days.

I expect to see lots of people looking at the negatives, but these are the types of people who find £5 on the street, and bemoan it’s not a £20.
 
Cavani is just class. Was worried about his fitness and mentality, but he seems both fit and ready to put in the work. Very important in this performance even without scoring.
Telles set pieces are amazing. We're gonna get a few goals from that for sure.
Very happy James got a goal and Greenwood the assist. They both looked completely lost for confidence.

Defense worrying again.
And how dependent everything is on Bruno. It's like we got no cohesion the second he goes off. Which again indicate we're way to reliant on individual players creativity and quality to be fair.
A bit disappointed Rashford and Martial didn't manage to do better in this setup.
 
Really great attacking performance in the first half. Really impressed with Cavani and his work rate. And what a masterclass from Bruno when he was on the field.
Very disappointed by our reaction to their goal - we looked very shaky.
 
Only United can turn a performance which was so scintiliating in the first half into such a ragged second half.

More positives than negatives and VDB wow, great performance.
 
I'd like to see Cavani and VDB be generic starters from here on. Unless we have to adapt to a big side like PSG, they should really play.

Cavani shows more as a focal point and I felt Martial didn't lose too much influence from left for the first half. Rashford looked comfortable on the right. VDB has qualities to play as a 10 or an 8 so it works for me.

What happens when Pogba is back?
