Through to last 16 in PL. Just beat Utd COMFORTABLY. To go top of the table. Couldn't be going better at this stage of the season

Deserved to go ahead, but after we gifted Utd the goal, there was a period where we were struggling a little bit to break them down. Good substitution by Jürgen though - taking off Keita was didn't have a particularly good game - and Shaq turned things round. No doubt we were the better team, but you have to put them away and we now have proper options on the bench to help turn things.
Would most days pick Shaq, but going with Fab for MOTM. Thought he was great today, defensively solid, but creative when he had the chance to be. Looks like he's settled in and I'd now start him ahead of Hendo. Funny how things go, slowest of the new signings to make his mark, but now really looking the part.
Looking at Utd - Keane was right - without the badge, and expensive price tags, you'd think that was a mid/upper PL league team. Looking out on the pitch, you wonder where the money's gone.
Bit disappointed still with corners, so many didn't make it past the 1st defender, but that's nit-picking on the day. Clyne did well and lasted the match. Lovren good in the air, did OK in general. VVD and Robbo great as usual. Mistake from Alisson who apart from pick the ball out of the net had not much to do. Gini did well, Mane again the pick of the front 3, scored and setup the 2nd. Mo and Bob quieter, though Bob more involved in the game than Mo. And super from Shaq, closed the game out so could put the feet up for the last 10.
Can't praise the manager enough. He's built this team, and motivating them to keep winning to put us where we are.
Want to put some silver in press though, so have to keep it going...
But will enjoy today. Great win. Great 3 points
