ASM brilliant play, unlucky.

And Joelinton back to defend

His performance alone deserves a win tonight. Hope we can pull it off. Been amazing.

Joelinton class again 

Love his ability to patiently pick out a pass in those situations.

Rashford man, yikes.

Exceptional pressing from Fraser and ASM.

They're still awful.

We're playing a very nice and compact mid block that is very effective. Howe's set the team up really well.

Kraft momentarily phasing into Cafu.

He's been pretty decent tonight.

He's missed from 2 yards out!!!!!

ASM screwed that up, but he is going to be very dangerous in that role upfront now getting played into all that space.

Oh Lawd ... Cavani and Sancho for goodness sake.

Guess Howe just really doesn't fancy Almiron 

He tends to want to play him on the right, but Almiron has never convinced in that position IMO.

Has to play on the left if he's being used out wide. Eddie prefers having ASM or Fraser cutting in from that left side though.

I'm pretty certain we will buy a left footer that cuts in from the right in January as we don't have anyone that can play that way.

Anyone think putting joe up top would be a mistake?

Yeah, especially as the lone striker. He just doesn't play as well with his back to goal, it seems completely foreign to him.

Would also drop the effectiveness of our midfield several levels as he is doing a silly amount of work in there in so many different ways.

He's been a bit anonymous. Not happy with the injury but it might work i our favour. Murphy will press more tan ASM and ASM will be more effective on the counter.

Yeah, prefer ASM being higher up the pitch this half. Has been dribbling too much deeper in our half when he's been out wide, and not releasing the ball quickly enough.

Guy is a warrior out there.

We already needed one before his injury.

Yeah, thinking we will need 2 now. One good enough to go straight into the first team, and another that can be rotated in, who can perhaps also play other attacking positions. Lyon's Dembele and Blackburn's Brereton Diaz for example.

ASM upfront hopefully. Would be best for us from a defensive standpoint.

Ah man, Callum is done. This sucks big time.

Joelinton is ridiculous!

Wilson looks like he's fine.

Big Joe working his fucking bollocks off

Has been setting such a great example for the team since Howe came in. His work rate has been phenomenal.

Ronaldo's attitude intimidates the heck out of the rest of this Man U team. He's killed their spirit 

ASM is pissing me off ... release the ball man, they are sending two people at you every time to close you down. You can't dribble everyone all the time, especially deep in our half.

Brilliant from Shelvey!

Oh God ... need Joelinton's energy in there man. Please don't be injured.

Don't pass it around the box ffs

ASM with the silly dribbling in a dangerous area just before too, should have looked to release Joelinton.
