This game against Bournemouth is a crucial game for us given the next two are against City and Arsenal. We must win this one and go all out against City at home in the next round.

The line-up today has the old look in the defence: AWD, Lindelof, Maguire and Shaw. That frightens me! But they are playing at home and we should expect nothing short of a victory today.

Midfield: Rashford, Brune, Ericksen, Casemiro and DvB. DvB looked sharp in the last match. It will be interesting to get some confirmation that he is starting to develop under ETH.

Forward: Martial.
Martial needs a goal. Hopefully today is that day!

Antony needs to be given a run of games tbh.

This stop start for him is not doing him any good in terms of building form.
 
I am rather nervous seeing vandebeek and Maguire in the team. Just hope that TenHag is not being complacent thinking it’s already in the bag. Football has a habit of biting you in the backside if you take an opponent for granted.

Is he rotating for the FA Cup game on Friday. Then the EFL QF or Tuesday.
 
That's a nice touch for Lisandro.

Giving him an ovation for his world cup win.

5th WC winner playing for United?
 
VdB returns to being bang average again.

He's not good enough.

Beyond being a squad player coming off the bench with ten mins to go when you're 3 up.
 
Casemiro has absolutely been running the show today.

Short and long passes, AND blocks any breaks from Bournemouth.
 
3-0 good win.

The game opened up in the second half with the United and Bournemouth subs. Could've been more after that.

This was a great performance. I watched the second half and it felt like the OT of old. We stepped on the gas at will. Garnacho is very dynamic too on the left with the midfield day and night better than what we have seen in years in controlling the match. Chief was probably eating prawn sandwiches out there his family.
