Love this guy, beauty of a free kick. Would have settled for a draw.
Fellaini causing havoc in the build up of our second goal. He had 3 players on him ffs.
I questioned the subs, but Jose got it right. And, loved it when he goaded the fans at the final whistle. Brilliant.
Martial came alive in the last 10 mins!! Why didnt he run at them before. He needs to play every minute.
Sanchez worked his socks off. Surely he has to secure the number9 role now? We are more mobile and fluid without a big man up top.
Rashford , should have buried that. Needs to work on his composure.
Great team performance until they scored, became complacent and conceded a few chances but they dug in.
DDG made a couple of great saves.
Herrera - great to have him back!
Defence was solid. Victor is starting to impress and Ashley Young is puttting in some decent performances.
Pogba, by far our worst player on the pitch.
Strange but nice to see CR7 score and what a stunning strike
Surely FRED a 50million pound purchase can hack it in the CL?
Good to have Jesse back.
Fack Chellieni and Bonucci. Hope Jose praises our boys rather than them. That Dybala is one hell of a player tho.

I have to disagree that we were poor for large swathes of the game. up until they scored in the 65th minute we were quite controlled, we didn't park the bus and gave them a little bit to think about at the other end. After the goal they should have buried us...but they didn't...we hung in and got a famous result

What? We were on the back foot a lot of the time. Juve never were. Being at 0-0 does not mean quite controlled.

Think you must have been watching a different game, VC. We were patient and controlled for large parts - yes, without any meaningful attempt on their goal, but patient and controlled nonetheless

Not at all, I watched the one where Juve hit the post, the bar, skied a sitter over the bar, and DDG pull off a couple of great saves.
They had a fifteen minute spell at the end of the first half where they looked like scoring and same around the period of their goal.

Yeah, we were lucky for sure, but that doesn't meant we weren't controlled for long periods... compared to being permanently under the cosh as we were in the previous game, not able to string two passes together before hoffing it out and waiting for the next wave.....

I wouldn't say we were in control though. We were better than at OT, no doubts there.
To be in control mean you have to have the upper hand.

"Having" control and "being in" control are different things.

Watching a static Dave watching the ball bounce of the woodwork a couple of times and make a series of great saves whilst berating his defenders to get closer to them, didn't make me feel that whilst doing so United were in control of Juve.

Ball from cb straight for Ronnie to smash in, that’s school boy defending at this level. Lindelof and Smalling are not good enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rio said the defender was not to blame.... sometimes a world class player is going to be... well... world class. It's not a zero sum game, if one player scores it doesn't mean their has to be blame elsewhere.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rio loves Ronnie so much, he will make out like that was goal of the century. World class goal, but you get a bollocking for that at Sunday league. I can’t remember seeing many of those against Rio himself- straight ball over him and Vidic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really because I remember Torres scoring a couple against us just as an example - maybe not that kind of goal but definitely over the top of both Rio and Vidic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolute rubbish. Happened to Vidic once when he had a brain fart and allowed the ball to bounce. It went over Vida but not Ferdinand. That also was school boy defending and Vida would put his hand up and admit so. Lindelof has been mistake after mistake- we are shipping goals every goal and people think this guy is improving.

DDG had like 2 saves to make. Thats actually very low in any game of football.
