Fullbacks were more aggressive. Took their space very quickly. Cuadrado in particular with multiple full on sprints when the ball got reversed to him. I really think that's a necessity in order to stretch the opposition''s midfield laterally, so we can find gaps to our skilled players.
I wasn't in the live thread but I can only imagine the comments for the 1st half. However, I thought it was a good half as Cagliari barely could put two passes together in our half.
Pressing from the strikers was a bit more energetic, obviously CR7 stole a goal from it. Was hoping Ramsey would take his chance but might have been passed in 2 minutes by Costa.
Rabiot strong in challenges, brain and feet slow down the closer he gets to goal.
