Very pleased with what I saw, best first half in ages.
Loved how Sanchez has been so dynamic and evasive, coming deep to get the ball, linking up with fancy plays and making the right movements. Also pleased with his defensive and pressing efforts. Good game, lad. Lindelof has been a rock at the back, evidenced by the number of times the backline passes the ball to him every time they're under pressure. His positioning while dealing with killer balls from Juve has been great.
They are hacking down Martial too often, if that were Hazard, a card would have been out by now. Shaw is too suspect, and Pogba has been having one of his off days so far. I counted at least twice where he gave away the ball trying something fancy, and we had to deal with an extended period of pressure, and narrowly avoided conceding.
Matic needs to be careful, that was a horror tackle in the 11th minute. Lucky to be on the pitch. Lingard may not look like he's adding much, but his movement helps Sanchez so much. Looks rusty, though. Herrera almost responsible for a goal, losing Khedira like that, but good otherwise.
DDG in beast mode as always.
Love what I'm seeing against potential CL champs. Looking forward to the second half.
That sterling penalty
