Post-match discussion

Whoever it is at the club that's been trying to offload Garnacho needs to be forced to watch that game then write a 1,000 word essay on why they're an idiot, then write another 1,000 word essay that's just "im sorry" over and over again...and then resign since we are sofoxused on not paying money to anyone we don't need to.

I get that Garnacho is a frustrating player, but without Rashford he is the only player we have who will run in behind and allow us the space to create anything. He is also better than almost any forward player his age.

The game became easy because suddenly they had someone they had to defend against and suddenly Bruno had people to pick out with his passes
 
Lots of really good performances. Garnacho, Mainoo, Dalot, and dare I say for large chunks of the game, Hojlund.

I don’t know what happened to Malacia but that was a really bad first half. I don’t expect him to see a lot of minutes because Dorgu, as well as Dalot and Mazraoui playing the wrong side would be much better options.
Malacia picked up a harsh yellow card after 8 minutes, which obviously clipped his wings. It's the norm for United players to pick up an early booking for their first foul, when opposing players are allowed to concede several more fouls before being booked.
 
TBF, that was a pretty easy game for us considering the quality of the opponent is several levels below us.
Having said, we did pretty well but the finishing is still a major concern even vs opponent of this quality.
 
I want to be more enthusiastic especially about the second half, but that Rumanian side was comically poor. Worst team I’ve seen in a while.
Yeah but we've been shit against poor sides, so it's refreshing to for once see us dominate in the appropriate manner (mind you I only watched the second half.)
 
Er....Martinez? He had a brilliant first half, with his passing especially. Easily our best player on the night, IMO.

Licha at this point in the season should have had at to the very least 6 assists
