Banana skin avoided.
 
Very hard-fought win. Seems cliche to say but I think we would've drawn/lost under van Gaal.
 
wasn't pretty, but job done

Pogba + Ibra were brought on to win the match and that's exactly what they did
 
Bit of a struggle but win is all that matters in cup comps.
 
Got away with a pretty pathetic performance. To do that after the shock results already in the competition, plus with players who should be trying to work their way into the PL team, just made it worse.

Hopefully it's a kick up the arse going forward.
 
Didn't think this game would be easy but it's job done.

Now praying we get a nice draw for the next round...
 
Tough game. Looked like we were trying not to commit too much, probably sensible.
 
Not a great performance but just enough to sneak through to the next round. Hopefully we get Boro/Millwall/Lincoln at home.
 
Job done in a tricky tie. Never want to see Darmian play for us again. Apart from his pass I thought Mkhi was awful as well.
 
Respect and credit to Blackburn, played their hearts out. The Pogba pass was Scholesesque and the cool Ibrahimovich finish was pure Cantona. I'd dare say some of those fringe players getting a start today should be right worried though, some sloppy play at times there.
 
Good win - No replays, no injuries, no drama. Happy days.

Was quite impressed with Blackburn. There's no way they should be down where they are if they can play like that.
 
Tough game. Grinded it out so it's all good

Wonderful finish from Zlatan and the opener was good too


No real standouts, so I gave Young my motm. Lingard had a bad day
 
Not impressive by us considering the caliber of our opponents. Glad to be through to the next round. Too bad we had to bring on our big names to get it done, though.
 
Good win after falling behind. Zlatan and Pogba pulling the strings yet again.
 
Praise the lord for Zlatan (and Pogba), we would never have won without them. Hard fought win. We definitely need some new signings in the summer.
 
We have gone from playing well and not being able to win. To playing mediocre and grinding out results.
 
Not great, but don't care at this stage. It's all about progressing.
 
Very impressed with Young, other than him it was very very poor all round today. Even Mkhitaryan who looked good at times in the first 20 minutes completely disappeared.

Darmian again making O'Shea look like Cafu.
 
Sloppy start again.
Like playing LvG football for the first hour, Lingard clogging it up by taking everyone's space.
Young gets my MoM for his effort having to cope on his own on the right for the first hour.
Defence looked shaky, why not start Shaw instead of Darmian.
Well taken goals.
Other than that very average performance
 
Two great passes, two good finshes and job done. Ibra really kept his cool for the second. Not covered ourselves in glory but on we go. Lincoln at home please.:)
