[90 + 5min]

Great performence against Bundesliga (top?) club. First half, we could be better. Second half, dominant.

 

[Schmeichel's Cartwheel]

Shout out to Fred. Marcus will rightfully rake the headlines but Fred was exceptional defensively today.

 

[cosimas]

What the feck have I just watched? Absolutely sensational performance from the boys!
I'm almost lost for words. Great tactics (again), everyone put in a shift (get in there Paul), and clinical finishing. 9½/10

[Buchan]

Those high press phases of play in the 89th minute when already 4-0 up were a joy to behold. That’s the Manchester United we want to see. Let’s cultivate this attitude and make it the benchmark every week, not just when it suits us.

 

[Sandikan]

Sometimes you watch us and think we're very close to be a sensational team.

Need to see Arsenal off though.

 

[Tony247]

I love Champions League football on a night like this.

Playing the diamond.
VDB getting a start with Pogba.
Scoring 5.
Rashford getting a hat-trick after ANOTHER week of amazing activism.
Bruno bossing it when coming on.
AWB doing his best Gandalf impersonation.
Ole choosing a great lineup, then improving it with the subs.

/10

5 players sub really suits us well.

 

[Harry190]

We looked grand in the first half until we got the goal. RB took over then for the rest of the half.

Second half much better. Bruno changed things i feel.

What? No. They never took over. They did nothing with the ball, they never looked like scoring from open play.
This was very comfortable throughout.

 

[Jazz]

Brilliant from everyone. First time I won't be giving anyone less than 7. Can't believe we have 6 points already in this group. Still a ways to go but still..

Happy for the manager and the team. Marcus superb. Bruno sexy. Mason the boy wonder.
Happy for Martial to score - should help with his confidence.
Pogba was good as well. Hell everyone was good.
Going to enjoy it.

As usual, the lads need to keep working and pushing.

 

[The Urban Goose]

Tidy.

 

[Joseunited]

Boys are fit as feck, closing down like crazy in the second half.Something good is happening here.Keep it going lads,what a night.

 

[U99ted]

Absolutely brilliant. I’m so pleased for Marcus Rashford MBE to get his first hat-trick even without taking the penalty. Tore a very good side apart, with the scoreline to match.

 

[Banana Republic]

Bringing on McTominay and Bruno turned it around for us, bringing in a more solid CM and faster movement going forward.
Rashford played up top where he’s best suited.
Great result, just a shame Cavani couldn’t get on the score sheet.

Fred and Scott must start against the Arse.

 

[Fluctuation0161]

Rashford 10/10 for me, I very rarely give a 10 to a player, great performance.

That run with multiple feints after his first 2 goals devastated the defence, shame he didn't get that goal. Great to watch.

 

[Devil may care]

Impressive performance, Leipzig had some good spells of possession but didn’t really hurt us, where as we were looking dangerous from the start. The diamond worked well for the most part, we were getting dragged back a bit towards the end of the first half and I felt the Bruno substitution helped get a grip of the game.

Rashford.....wow! one of the commentators said his performance was dynamite and that sums it up, also really thought Martial, Fred and Pogba were very good.

 

[MattofManchester]

That was a fantastic second half. We were let down in the first half by the back line but everything clicked in the second.

Get Telles into this side and we can probably be even better.

 

[fps]

The squad depth is fabulous. Two up front means two of Martial Rashford Cavani and Greenwood from the bench. Good to see VdB’s proper debut he’ll get better.

 

[Suvvernmanc]

For years we haven't had the quality on the pitch or the bench. Finally we are playing in the CL against a top team and we have a squad deep enough with enough quality to be able bring on Bruno, Rashford and Cavani in the 2nd half to sure up the win!!

What a game!

 

[dbs235]

Didn't want the game to end.

 

[StuCol]

It’s so long since I’ve posted here. Is it wrong that I’m drunk?

how good was that?

 

[Inigo Montoya]

I think Bruno changed things when he came on. So good.

Was a team performance though. Having options makes a difference. Bruno can only operate if what’s behind him can repossess the ball so big shout to Fred especially and McT

 

[Nick7]

Turns out the score was right, just for the wrong team.

anyway, fantastic opening 20 followed by an awful last 25 in the first half. Dominated them in the second and especially so after the subs.

 

[Shiva87]

What a brilliant result. Ole got everything spot on again. Starting shape, subs and intensity. We were poor in attack for 20 mins in the first half, but except that - we were really at it today.

What a performance. Never looked like losing. Shout out to Rashford. Totally changed the game. Skinned Upemacano (the caf's favourite defender) for his second goal.

 

[RedorDead21]

That was brilliant. Contained Leipzig all night and killed them in 15 minutes.
We’ve got serious options in that squad now. Fernandes, Cavani and Rashford all off the bench.
The diamond has to stay. It allows us to get 2 of Bruno, VDB and Pogba into the midfield. Special mention for Pogba tonight - he was brilliant

That was defo a few levels up from his recent efforts in terms of
Running. The rest looks after itself

 

[GMoore23]

Fantastic result and performance.
We've got to keep this going now, no more fecking around in the league.
Leipzig are a better side than Arsenal and we demolished them.
Attack! Attack! Attack!

 

[Red_Aaron]

Take that fckin diving, play acting, card waving, overplaying noughties arsenal wannabes

Larry David wants his jacket back
Hipster fanboy wank-fantasy bullshit, try creating an actual chance once in a while

5-0 fcuk off

 

[RedPed]

It's amazing how strong our squad looks now. Our benches have been amazing in recent games.

A clean sheet against Leipzig. I thought we'd at least concede one.

Fantastic performance against Germany's current finest.

Please Ole, same again against the Gooners on Sunday and I will never doubt you again! I really want to smash those feckers.

I'm buzzing!!!

 

[Eddy_JukeZ]

Excellent performance and result.

 

[mu4c_20le]

I haven't been this thrilled by a CL game since rom and fenerbahce.

 

[Steven7290]

- Lost the possession battle
- Lost the passing stats
- Fewer corners won
- Only changed formation twice and used all 5 subs
- Had to rely on individual brilliance x5 and counter attack to destroy them instead of total domination at home.

OLE OUT!

Julian who?

 

[White Fury]

Easy game easy life

 

[Inigo Montoya]

It’s so long since I’ve posted here. Is it wrong that I’m drunk?

how good was that?

Not while your driving that bus though

 

[Cantonaaa!]

That last 20 mins got me a little bit erect.

Understatement of the year.

 

[always_hoping]

Disappointed the game is over. Outstanding result against the German league leaders and last seasons CL semi finalists. Ole got it all spot on tonight, starting team, tactics, subs brought on, Rashford off the bench to score a hat trick against Upamecano was very impressive.

Roll on Arsenal at the weekend.

 

[rooney2009]

Fred and Scot must start all the big games
We miss Martial big time when HE is not playing,can hold up the play,wins lots of fouls and can run at defenders

 

[podurban2]

Where’s the pessimism now? Get out of here. We are back. We are GOOD again!

 

[Red_toad]

Where's the original post match thread? Woke up at 4 to the Caf telling me we'd lost 4-0 and a post match thread in full flow

Can't fault that display, excellent all round performance.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Yet again Ole completely out of his dep....

Sorry, the Caf has brainwashed me... I mean great game.

Good selection, tactics, subs and pretty much everyone had a good game.

Bruno, Martial, Cavani and Rashford? Filth, pure filth.

The chasing down was better and I noticed that when Maguire and Lindelof got the ball, they moved it from under their feet... just a little thing, but creates a bit of an angle to pass to a teammate if needed. Thought at start of season, they were static and easy to close down and block the out ball.

I wonder what the media will write about now .... probably that we should have won 6-0?

Onward and upward.

 

[Strelok]

Fantastic win

Nagelsmann who Tuchel who ?

On a side note, tbh Nagelsmann looked like a clown in that suite

 

[StuCol]

Not while your driving that bus though

It’s muscle memory right now
