Well I think that was a perfect example of what happens if you don't take your chances 😑

Very good 1st half which we should have ended out of sight, then out for the 2nd strolling around like a training match.

Rojo was good played very well and pogba was good til he came off .

Defensively I thought darmian was solid but never really offers much going forward blind had a poor game as did lukaku .

So the cska game has something to it now I can't remember the last time a team with 12 points needed to get something from the last game .

Rojo was very good especially after being out for so long.

I like the way Rojo actually plays the ball forwards into the feet of our midfielders. Whereas Jones and Smalling just constantly pass it side to side.

Rojo has played well since Mourinho has taken over. He seems to suit Mourinho's tactics.

Glad he's back. Along with Jones finding form and dare I say it fitness and Bailly. We have some solid options in defence.
Hopefully Lindelof settles and comes good, he has the ability now he just needs to show he has the mentality.

However my biggest hope is Tuanzebe, the lad looks ready to be a regular part of the match day squad. I can't remember him putting a foot wrong in all his games for us. Bare in mind he has played in some pretty tough games too. He kept Sanchez quiet. I think he has a real chance to become a top player at our club. Hopefully he get the chances.

Totally agree about Tuanzebe Shappy, he's really impressed me whenever I've seen him play!

I posted last week after the Newcastle game where I was critical of Lindelof (maybe unfairly)! I think we've got some really good CB's at the Club and with the emergence of Tuanzebe I don't think we needed Lindelof the money could have been better spent elsewhere. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong and become a great player but I think given the chance Tuanzebe could be equally as good. His path to the first team looks congested now.

I think we need to be careful about buying up foreign players that only block the emerging talent from the youth team. The core of our great sides over the years have been made up from British and homegrown players along with the best foreign talent. If we're buying the best then fine but if we're just filling out the squad I'd rather see the likes of Tuanzebe, Mctominay, Perrera even Angel Gomes given a chance.

I suppose it's about getting the right balance and letting the young lads develop in the correct environment.

I don't think Mourinho is particularly happy with the options at centre back and this is proven because of mourinhos continous search for a top class centre half.
