absolutely changed the game when he came on with Matic. His energy and work ethic was contagious, everyone started pressing and working harder.
 
I would like us to play with two strikers now and then. Cavani's pressing is vital
 
A model professional.

All those years we were linked to him in his mid to late twenties, I wish we had pulled the trigger if it was actually an option.
 
Cavani works so hard. I am in love. I can't deny...
 
That pressing on 82 minutes was superb. Sprinted 50-60 yards and should never have won that ball but did it anyway.

Hit the nail on the head. That’s why he’s loved by the Stratford end. Every other player on the pitch had given that ball up. Not Edi.
 
Surprised he didn't score but almost everything else was great.

That run to keep the ball on was immense
 
But, but he wasn't committed to United and fans wanted him out because of his allegiance to Uruguay?

Those 15 minutes I swear I didnt see him stop running. The guy is a model professional and will continue to do so until the day he leaves. It should be a kick up the arse of the others showing what true attitude means when you fight for a result.

Its moments like that in games that can swing momentum in games (which is what Ole was basically saying before the caf' melted down because he wasn't being a tactical ***********)
 
MotM for me. His attitude is phenomenal. What a fighter!
 
Latin American strikers are just something special. I loved Tevez (at first), then Chicharito and now Cavani especially for their work-rate, passion and football brain.

Then again, Forlan and Falcao obviously didn’t work out for different reasons.
 
Love him. Such a joy when he is on the pitch. We look a different team with him.
 
If we can get Cavani and Ronaldo working often we can go far. Cavani was incredible last year with vital goals and his all round contribution. I can't even say the name beginning with M.
 
Played really well tonight. Don't understand the complaints.
 
Obviously it's worked out tonight, but I do feel like a different manager would look at the fact that he has two absolutely class centre forwards, both too old to do their thing for 90 minutes, and maybe split the time between them.

Imagine as a CB pairing you know you'd have Ronnie for 55 minutes, and then Cavani for the remainder, or vice versa. Daunting to say the least.
 
Proper team player, even holds Ronaldo's shirt so he can go shirtless.

His desire was everything today. What a champion player.

Definitely the best solution but won’t happen… because Ronaldo.
 
I genuinely would prefer him to start games ahead of Ronaldo if it's an either/or scenario. He just makes us play better and is so much than a goalscorer. Although, I wouldn't want to be the guy to tell Ronaldo that when he's just scored 5 goals in 5 games for us.

Absolutely. What's scary is imagine how good Ronaldo could be as the supersub against a tired defence. His movement, spatial awareness and goal threat remain world class. Give him 30/40 minutes each match and he'd be phenomenal.
 
Loved that determination to win back the ball for our second goal and still hope we might see a bit more of him & Ronny together
