For all the (correct) talk of how much of a struggle that was, we arguably just knocked out our biggest rivals for the trophy. I wouldn’t want to draw Villlareal, Roma or Arsenal (who we cannot beat for some reason) next round, but none are better than Milan. Roma don’t worry me at all. We’ll shit on them. |

For all the bullshit Pogba when he's on it is a genuine gamechanger. We know this. How do we get him performing every four out of five instead of one out of five?

The thing with Pogba is, we might as well get him signed up to a new contract because he’s a damn good player on his day but more importantly we won’t replace him so I’d rather he gets the wage than the bastard Glazers pocketing his transfer fee.

Pogba was transformational in that second half. He’s not a Bruno type player but he gives us impetus. Imagine if we could incorporate a fully-firing VDB into the midfield.

What do we think on the keeper situation? I want Henderson to keep his place but have a feeling de Gea gets back in after the international break.

Well done Henderson these last few minutes Commands his area doesn’t he? He does something that I, probably totally unfairly, just never associate with de Gea and that is taking the ball to the edge of the box quickly and throwing/bowling it out. De Gea is so much more of a 'footy' goalkeeper. |

Henderson should absolutely keep his place, he could have done better in the first leg but other than that he's been really solid, with clean sheets away to AC Milan, Real Sociadad and Man City recently. But yeah, Dave walks straight back into the team for me, unfortunately. |

Genuinely chuffed with that lads. I went into that expecting a fucking battering early on with us chasing the game

Dave may of had a few shit moments but he’s still one of the best keepers in the world. |

So in recent weeks Tatty has started threads for a win over City to end their winning run, and a win over Milan to stay in the Europa League.
Big question is do we go with Tatty for a run of threads now, and risk burn out; or just use Tatty as our secret weapon for the big games?

There’s frequently plenty of frustration and name calling about our defence on here, but credit when due, they all put in a shift again today.

I had to Google which competition it was because he didn't put it on the thread title. |

I don't normally read through match day threads so what does everyone think about that?
First half I had my head in my hands tbh but we seemed to liven up when Pogba came on. We just weren't as dominant as we should be.
