I don’t understand where this we didn’t play all that well comes from. Maybe we have different definitions of playing well but how can you score 4 goals in a half and claim we didn’t play ‘that well’
Yes United were poor, but we made them Look poor by playing well and tactically being better and taking advantage of their short comings.
We drew their players out to create space, which we then exploited with quick passing into feet and movement.
Goal one, pass into feet, pass into feet, flick round corner, first touch flick to Salah runs at player and lays it into Keita path.
Second one was a **** up from maguire and shaw but we had numbers forward to win the ball then delicious cross from TAA.
Thrid one was brilliant pass and move from Bobby leaving United players behind. Bit of luck with deflection and then nice cross.
4, lovely control and footwork from Bobby and Jota making runs off the ball from left wing into centre to make the pass.
thrn the 5th brilliant press from Hendo and Bobby to win it and brilliant pass.
then the last 40 minutes we just controlled the game and saw out the win preserving energy and trying not to get injured.
Other than Fernandes in first couple mins and the Ronaldo disallowed goal, don’t remember United creating any kind of chance.
It was probably as complete a performance from back to front that you’ll find
