Casemiro rolling back the years
Same. Felt good to enjoy a match for once. God how low have our expectations fallen!Fun match and a lovely result. Even though it was a knockout tie, the fact that we're about to hit a reset button meant this game was going to be an isolated outing and I felt relieved to just enjoy a game. Maybe the players felt that too and were able to perform well. New manager's biggest task is to instill confidence in these players.
Definitely.Enjoyable win, much needed for us all!
Casemiro was great and I thought Ugarte played well too.
Yup. Can’t wait til he comes in.We dont have bad players at all, just waiting for Amorim to come and make them into a force.

Might have something to do with the quality of opposition.For some reason this season we have reserved our best football and our finishing for the cabrao cup
The defence need to be meaner, they’re too meek in the tackle, but then again Lindelöf and Dalot bring softness to the team.Given how shaky we are in defense I wouldn’t mind if we go 3 at the back for Chelsea.
How were the subs shite? Amad came on for Rashford which was fine, Mazraoui was OK at leftback (probably looked more comfortable than Martinez), Evans for De Ligt was fine, Hojlund and the academy player didn't do much when they came on but there wasn't a huge amount of time left. We didn't lose control of the game or anything due to the subs.Shite subs, Leicester, were terrible, as they should be, given it was their reserves.
Still, fun to watch and Ugarte was excellent.
Leicesters weren’t great but they are a PL side unlike BurnleyMight have something to do with the quality of opposition.
I mean, why those players when we are already three goals up? We could have given some good experience to Amass, Fletcher and Fitzgerald in a really low-stakes situation. Was just really baffling to me.How were the subs shite?

Are there any highlights on UK tv anywhere?
Very much soDidn't watch the match.
Were we as good as the scoreline indicates?
Yeah, that's a fair point. Would have liked for some of them to get a shot.I mean, why those players when we are already three goals up? We could have given some good experience to Amass, Fletcher and Fitzgerald in a really low-stakes situation. Was just really baffling to me.
