Up there as one of our best performances of the season. Really excellent. No complaints about the performance at all, unless you want to be really picky and say we should've scored 7!
More of the same at the weekend please.

What an enjoyable match for a change. Bruno immense and Henderson didn't put a foot wrong he has to get a run now

Hendo should be our number 1 going forward now too.

Reminds me of the RB game in the CL
We just seem to pick them off with ease.

Brilliant win. Did not expect that at all. Hopefully we can kick on from this and rediscover some domestic form.
Please leave Bruno at home for the second leg and start Diallo!
Oh look how much better we are in defence without Lindelof. Very solid. Shock horror.

Do that more often please.
Very good performance that. Made up for James aswell. Find it amusing some people still don't rate Fred either. He's fucking brilliant.

Henderson and Bailly start and we get a clean sheet?
What sourcery is this?
Can't wait to see De Gea and Lindelof back at the weekend. Keeps it interesting I suppose, be boring if we just played the best 11 with the strongest chance of winning, weakening the side makes it fairer for the opposition.
Anyhoo, good game, great result, chance (which will absolutely not be taken at all) to rest up some players for the next leg.

Good result that, given after the two Rashford chances and the McTom chance it felt like ‘one of those’ games, if you know what I mean.
Disappointed both kids didn’t get a run, but though James was excellent at shutting down Silva in the second half

Absolutely no reason to see Lindelof again this season barring injury. If Ole can’t see that then I give up.
Cracking performance after the first 10 minutes. We are a really difficult team to predict. When we get it right we are great to watch, when we’re off it we’re painful. We should win this competition but there will come a time when we need to be clinical in a tight game. Perhaps this is where Cavani will be the difference. If he played against Sevilla I think we’d have won it.

Absolute highlight of the game was Bruno’s swearing in the first half. Can that be put in the goals thread too?

Personal highlights of the game for me:
Bailly trying to ping one top bins from 25 yards.
Bailly going for a scissor kick from a corner
