Next two games feel like crossroads type games for the season. Defeat away to Bayern who are likely to top the group is not a biggie if we do the business elsewhere in the group. To have any chance we have to in particular win the home games which starts tonight. Similarly if we follow up a home defeat in the EPL at home to Crystal Palace with another home defeat at home to Brentford then the knives will well and truly be out.
Great ball in behind from Cas for Rash to run on to (Rash having switched to the right) and Rash for a change makes a simple cross for Hojlund to head in. Great play from all three & for once we are not f'd by VAR
That was very us; - conceding a goal just after scoring (mentally weak) - out-muscled (physically weak) - very flukey finish (just ain't getting any luck either)
No, the pass was the right call - he just... I don't even know own what to call what he did. How can you ******** that open a pass up???
Hey, at least we look more like United from last season...creating chances but nobody can finish. Its progress.
Holy shit Hojlund. We might have a player on our hands. Good lord that kid is fast and what a touch for the finish.
Gotta hand it to Rashford today. He's been getting a lot of shit for his decision making and he was way less selfish today and it unlocked a lot of things.
