Finally a win in Europe. But the lack of creativity is worrying. Højlund is easy to point fingers at today, and he is also completely anonymous. But his role is like a classic number 9 today, and he depends on the creativity of others, and when there is a lack, he will not be able to play very well.

LolzScoring headers in the Europa for United. Did it 4 seasons ago too. His header today was so similar to Fletcher vs Chelsea in 2005Job done. We probably should celebrate it like we had just won the treble, but this kind of opponent needs to be routine fodder us.
Decision making isn't a part of technique, and I don't think he has the close control those 2 have.
Do a little research before spouting tripe
He was playing poorly. So was everyone else though.
He wasn’t brilliant.
But he had 2 goal contributions in 3 starts from the first 4 games
He was coming off the back of being the best player pre season.
And then without justification, was benched. Bizarre
And over the last 5 league games has managed 53 minutes. Incomprehensible given the form of players playing ahead of him
Let’s just hope Amorim can come in and add some attacking intent. I suspect he will and a lot of our players will look top talents again, but it’s a big job!
He was really bad against Porto after being ineffective for a few games before that. I would've benched him if we had any good players but it is a bit head scratching when everyone else was out of form. I think by seasons end he'll be a mainstay in our 11 anyway
Anything apart from a 4-2-3-1 with Hojlund up top, Garnacho left and Bruno at #10. It is the same fecking stale system that sank ETH and Ruud’s selections have been continuity from that. We’ve seen that the attacking football with those three in those positions has been crap and it was again tonight. Hojlund and Bruno have no relationship on the field, and you see the absolute worst of Garnacho from the left, only made worse when there is no natural left back to overlap.
A couple of moments of brilliance from Amad tonight very much papered over the cracks. One more match and finally we get some fresh ideas and a different approach, from an entirely new coaching team hopefully.
Objectively it can't be argued that Mazraoui hasn't been that steady so far. Let's see how he does over the season. I hope he can keep it up under Amorim and I believe he will.
I can see him showing even more under Amorim in an attacking sense too. Lets see.

I was mainly joking. Theres very few English restaurants. Inwas gonna get greek but the falafels are sometimes hard to digest ao i got spaghetti from cpk.
Amad was the player of the match right?Some of these takes on Amad are atrocious. He hasnt been given enough minutes to gel. He is very talented but still developing. Give him time to cook
All of those were from the first half when he was terrible, he was better in the 2nd half
You best have apologised to the little man!Red Rocket, Amad hater.
Smart man, he's definitely closing his rings every day- Status
