Wow…that’s impressive when you look back on it like that.
Yes, from the pressure he delivers that kind of front pass, fabulous.The pass at 0:35 is delicious
That tackle would 100% be a foul on City player or any other "smaller" player.That tackle would 100% be a foul in La Liga.
Is it just me or he wears more makeup ever since joining United. Seems like he's more aware of how he looks to the public.
He controlled it fine, his touch wasn't bad at all. He just didn't know the challenge was coming from his blindspot and the defender managed to poke it away.
In an ideal world could he have turned to his right and break into the space immediately? sure.
You just have to say the midfielder did a great job of reading it and won it cleanly. It happens.
You can say that about every situation though, there's always something you can do better.nuff said
Think you're right, plus the play style here is different so.Was his passing this erratic when he was at RM? I can't really recall. Maybe he's being asked to do more work in attack because he can't just lay it off to Kroos / Modric?

To say he didn't control it is wrong, he just gave the midfielder a chance to nick it - and that he did.

Yes you can blame him. There was nothing wrong with the pass. It was his first touch. It was horrible. there was lots of space to make a first touch into. He kept it in an area that allowed the tackle to happen. A player as good as him knows better than that. You need to know where the space is at all times and your first touch needs to go towards that space...
That pass should never have been played to him. He has a man in front of him and another charging in from behind. Turning right would have given Onana the chance to nick it legally, this was a borderline foul.
A much easier pass was there to the right, Casemiro shouldn’t have been put in that situation.
Fair enough, well yes it could have been better but he didn't have time to react really.I didn't say he didn't control it. I said he didn't control it right. There are times that your first touch should be to stop the ball in your feet. Other times when your first touch should be to your right or to your left. Sometimes your first touch is to turn with the ball. It's all about making the correct first touch...
Agreed. Was a mistake by Antony. We shouldn't be playing it 5 yards to somebody with his back to play.That pass should never have been played to him. He has a man in front of him and another charging in from behind. Turning right would have given Onana the chance to nick it legally, this was a borderline foul.

Are you ok?Is it just me or he wears more makeup ever since joining United. Seems like he's more aware of how he looks to the public.
Thought he was really good again tonight, would love to see his stats but seemed to win the ball back a lot and was much better with his passing
The guy knows how to tackle cleanly and when he does not, he gets away often, compared to Tommy who usually goes through the player to get the ball and almost always gives away fouls in dangerous areas.
Our one world class player, so much quality in everything he does.
