Watching McTominay's goal on a loop. When the ball is just crossing into the box the crowd has already started roaring, they know it's going in, and when it hits the net it was like a champagne cork popping.
Even without the Ederson blunders we should have been awarded a penalty for the foul on Fred, and a 1-0 from the penalty also would have been a fair scoreline. To win 2-0 from open play is even sweeter. We had two chances waiting with Bruno open in the middle of their box and both times no one passed to him. If we can get our players to get their heads up earlier, goals will go flying in. Today even a 4-0 scoreline would have been fair.
I remember when McTominay first broke into the first team, I saw/read a lot of comments about how he would never be good enough, and I personally feel he has proved all his doubters wrong. I absolutely love what he brings to the side, and he's still young (23) and only going to get better. I see him and Williams being giants for us for the next decade.
I like seeing Shaw and Williams working in tandem, they have very different approaches and complement each other well. Maybe wingbacks is the way to go.
And massive credit to Bruno. He has transformed this team. He has been a dream signing. His impact has been what I thought we were going to get with Pogba. Hats off to the scouts and to Ole for bringing Bruno in. Ole's signings have all been pretty good, even Ighalo, who was exactly what the game was crying out for today. He hasn't put a foot wrong.
This team is really shaping up. One or two minor deficiencies, like Daniel James on the right, but James is doing well enough and also will only get better. Imagine a real charging right-sided winger in this team, with Rashford back... GOALS.
