Last 15 mins weren't as good as the rest of the performance but I was happy with that. Keep playing like that and we'll be fine
Agree about our front players. But we were playing a team sitting deep, with a well organised back 5, but we broke them down constantly, kept opening them up which we've not done for a LONG time. Only the goalie kept them in it. We do that against other side, keep creating the chances playing attacking footy like that and the goals will come.
Distinct lack of a No.9. Can't believe Martial managed to injure himself in the warm up last weekend! Tonight again proved Ronaldo is now best used as an impact sub, he didn't do much as a starter for a full game. Front three in the league this weekend should be Sancho, Rashford and Antony, with Rashford at 9.
However well the keeper played a few of the many shots should have been away from him. A win is a win though. I am glad that we didn’t give up but then Omonia were tiring and it would have been a crime to give up.
They were "away from him" but like many good keepers he leapt and stretched and got his fingertips to them. The man had a fantastic game.
Got to be honest here, when ETH brought McT on for Casimero i was shouting at the dog "whats the point of that other than to give Casi a rest", then i calmed down and said to the dog "maybe it's for extra height at corners because we are under no threat". Never thought McT would be the one to save us with a bit of calm in the area and decent shot
I suppose I am happy for the keeper. His happy face at the post match interview was a joy to behold, his being a United fan. (I wouldn’t have been so had we drawn the game )
We need to finish top of the group. I just know we'll end up drawing Jose's Roma in a play off otherwise.
