Business end of the season so the result is paramount!

Very very very well done boys. 2-0 down against a team that drew with city n beat chelsea.

And just to add to that - i realise we haven't just beaten barca, and we put ourselves under the cosh in the first half but that showed character.

Sanchez was not great but at least he played a couple of clever balls into the penalty area that were very difficult to defend. Pogba was absolutely shocking the first half, McTominay revealed himself to be the average player he is, and even Lingard was sloppy.

Beyond the lethargy, the tactics were mystifying. Young and Valencia have come in for some criticism however, to their credit, both of them were up and down their respective wings all night only to be spurned or missed by Sanchez, Pogba, and McTominay all of whom preferred to try to thread a needle through a non-existant hole in the middle. The only time the backs were passed to was when they were not in space, thus the attacks were slowed down. When they were in space they were ignored. On one occasion in particular, Young must have had 20 yards to work with if the ball had been passed to him, but no, it was back down the middle.

After CP's second goal I was so frustrated I had to turn it off and take a ten minute break and missed Smalling's goal.
