Re: Manchester United's Headliners, Articles and Rumours

A hard fought win....ETH was sweating on his bald head at the last 10 minutes.
The referee makes it even more exciting giving 7 minutes of injury time.

My thoughts -

Casemiro --- why why why?? I know he wanted to protect his countryman Antony....should have been more logical. But looking at VAR, Jordan Ayew was also seen going at Fred's throat, but very quick.
Once again, the value of Casemiro was shown as the entire team panic and the defence was in limbo.

Shaw / Fred / L Martinez --- Very good showing these 3. Martinez was called to work doubly hard after Casemiro's red.

Sabitzer --- was called into action last 10 minutes and I think he did well. He showed what he is capable of in the 89th minute, beautifully dislodging the ball off a Palace player (not sure who) and making a through pass to set Rashford on a breakaway. All in one fluid motion. Even the commentator say "Wow".
Unfortunately the referee blow for foul. Should Casemiro's 3 match ban stands, Sabitzer will have chance to really show his class.

ETH --- maybe should have sub in Sabitzer on immediately after Casemiro's red. I read news he is also training Lindelof to be DMC which is a good move given Lindelof used to be a ball playing midfielder.

Good showing by the boys and congrats for the 3 points.
The Red Devils had moved up to 3rd place. A UCL spot looks attainable.
