Well that went much better than I could have hoped for. Really happy for Sancho. Fred motm for me.

 

[Jazz]

Yes! Good win

 

[rimaldo]

Clean shit!!!
A true rarity in life

and we didn’t concede. great night all round.

 

[Raoul]

Ref blew the whistle a bit early ?

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Not enjoyed a final 20 mins of football like that for a very long time. Subs changed the game.

 

[pcaming]

It's Carrick you knoooooww, it's hard to believe he's not Ferguson!

 

[fergies coat]

Nice little run out for Mata.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Let's give Carrick 5 year contract tomorrow!!!

Be careful some weirdos will have a pop at you for not being original.

 

[lex talionis]

For one save?

Multiple saves. At least three on the first half.

 

[Laurencio]

Aaand we're through.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Happy Sancho day

 

[Redlyn]

another goal made by fred there. fantastic

He's taken a beating this season, glad to see him do so well.

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

For one save?

Did you watch the game?

 

[Adnan]

 

[RedCurry]

Announce Michael Carrick

 

[Offside]

Such a relief no Europa

 

[Heinzesight]

Huge credit to DDG. Get in lads.

 

[InspiRED]

What does it mean to play percentages?

Sancho scoring is exactly what we need. More confidence for him for us going forward this season.
Second half started moving off the ball and bombing forward

Like decision making. He is picklng higher percentage options when he's on the ball. Was seriously lacking from his game imo. Rashford with good decision making is a different proposition.

 

[Hughie77]

Positive changes, and we've dominated since, if only . This has been a very good away display. Fair play. Last 25 mins been top notch.. Well done lads . About time you turned up. Sancho great goal

 

[Glorio]

Bruno has been sensational since coming on

Needs the bench from time to time. All players do.

Overplaying a player does 2 things, makes them tired/complacent and makes whoever competes for their spot disillusioned

 

[Oranges038]

Juan Mata, somehow managed to do more than Martial.

 

[Canagel]

Sancho MOTM

 

[horsechoker]

Ole was holding them back

 

[The Hilton]

Wasn’t even remotely a foul

I’m not sure they even appealed

Yeah but if it wasn't a foul, then it was a pass, and Ronaldo looked offside to me.

 

[tombombadil]

The away fans were splendid. Kudos to them

 

[Nogbadthebad]

I think fred/donny should be the midfield 2.

That pair has the tackling and ball playing we need

 

[Hester_manc]

MOTM Juan Mata?

He made no mistakes tonight.

 

[Lord SInister]

Have to respect Fred today, he gave his all, even if he is not upto the mark.

 

[VidaRed]

cocks out time!!!

 

[VanHaal'sRedArmy]

Villareal in the bottom half of La Liga lets not get too excited. Chelsea will almost certainly smash us on the weekend.

R/whoosh: Not sure if Eddy will see it that way.

 

[CloneMC16]

Carrick's at the wheel, boys!

 

[crossy1686]

Yep, it's the opposite of the final against them. Wait until they get tired and then go more attacking to finish them off - almost like we have learned something.

Madness what happens when you manage a game isn't it? They came out like a house on fire, thought they'd steamroll us in the first half, we sat deep and compact, they couldn't break it down, they got tired and we picked them off. That's how you do it and it's only been two fecking days!

 

[R'hllor]

Get in Sancho, finally first goal, well done!

 

[Heinzesight]

We are in the hat lads. What a relief.

 

[skc_18]

Strange reaction from Bruno when Jadon scored. No reaction at all

Anything to be read into Bruno just turning an walking away there? Huffing after being dropped? Nah?

Probably just unhappy that his team did not put the performances earlier in the season with Ole. He looked upset last game where fans were unhappy with Ole. There is no change of system or players in this game, so probably he is just as frustrated as we are why the hell performances of the players are bad and inconsistent.

I just wish he will be unhappy for few games till December as long as he performs this well . I felt he was really good today

 

[Redlyn]

It's Carrick you knoooooww, it's hard to believe he's not Ferguson!

 

[calodo2003]

Nice little run out for Mata.

 

[Andre Kagawa]

No love for Lindelöf? Rock solid.

 

[Laurencio]

Players clearly wanted to get rid of Ole - nothing else explains such a change in discipline between Watford and today.

 

[Frasbul]

Happy that we won, but apparently I saw a different game. It was exactly like under Ole.
