At half time I could not see us scoring one goal, never mind three. The performance level went up massively and everyone of Van Gaal's changes paid off, even sticking Herrera down the right.
A lot of positives to take away from that game. Blind stood up to a big burly striker well, and had an all around solid performance. Despite their combined age Carrick and Sweinsteiger looked good. Herrera continues to provide goals from midfield. Smashley Young looks his old self.
Special mention, of course, to Martial. The kid's got the Vava Voom. To do that in a United vs Liverpool derby, at such a crucial point in the game when Liverpool looked like they might get back into it, the kid has 'it'.
