It was extremely bad. Like Rooney said, there's only 2 options for him. Stay back or take everything. He comes out slowly and does nothing. Ederson wouldn't have done that.

Well set up and great team effort. Rashford at least offers an out ball. Onana's distribution has been mint.

City turned up expecting it on a plate as did their dull fans..

the treatment room or the bench.

Jesus We might get a game of this now. City will have to change that paint drying approach, which should hopefully open them up for more counters. We're not giving them the ball back as quickly as we did previously. Agree the two CBs making the difference so far.

Our end very good so far

Over the moon here. Whatever happens - that was truly enjoyable. Love united.

Absolutely not. That stunk of back up keeper clowniness. Nice one

Ah £#%&!ing hell, I’m not sure I can handle this half. I was fine at 0-0

Just hope we don’t sit back too much. Got to keep that threat on the counter.

Just praying they have enough in the tank to last another 45 on that pitch.

We'll get a couple more quality break chances this half. What we do with them will determine the outcome here. With Varane and Martinez playing they won't get 3.

Genuinely only heard City once. Always been £#%&! though.

£#%&! me, please hold out lads

First 15 minutes crucial

Then the following 30

Kill them off with an early third. I'd deffo give ETH another season.

Come on lads. More of the same.

Knocking the ball about for fun

Bruno Ferrari

Come on lads !

Do it for Richard Keys

another 59 minutes to go

That's a foul but going through someone in the box isn't?
