What a win for Man Utd
A few observations from the match.
- Wan Bissaka was quite solid and did decent going forward. He dummied the city players on a couple of occasions at least. Of course, there are many reasons why the team spirit is strong right now. You can see it rubbing it off on the whole squad. He’s been gaining in confidence and performance standards. Great to see competition. I was really worried we’ll miss Dalot knowing that Shaw is playing centre back.
- Casemiro misplaced a few passes, and I felt that the game was a bit fast for him sometimes. He was better in the second half and what an interception to prevent Haaland from scoring. Good experience for him to play games vs the likes of City, Liverpool, Arsenal, etc as those played at a very high tempo in the premier league.
- What an impact from Jamie Taart. Ummm I mean Garnacho. I love that he is also resilient with all the talent he’s blessed with. Working under Ten Hag from such a young age will be great for his career.
- Bruno and Rashford – great leadership and drive shown by the whole team but esp these two.
- How many times did we see City players go down on the slightest push or a strong tackle. They were desperate.
- Wishful thinking but I would love it if Haaland fades away like an old denim (ala Jose Antonio Reyes – RIP) and Rashford goes on to achieve great things (aka Ronaldo). Haaland is too talented though I know.
- KDB is still the soul of the city team. He might still be carrying Belgiums energy into the season. I know Lukaku is.
I don’t know the rules but surely Rashford made an impact for Bruno’s goal from an offside position. It shouldn’t have stood but I’ll take it. Don’t these things balance out in the end anyway? But the momentum this win could bring would be invaluable.
We shouldn’t be thinking about the title right now. The squad is thin and we’re a couple of injuries away from being down to bare bones. One game at a time. That has to be the way and it was impressive to see Bruno emphasize on that and not getting carried away. There’s just been many bad years to take a run of 15-20 games and say we’re back. Another step in the right direction though and Ten Hag looks like exactly the coach we needed.
Pep’s substitution…
