Average first half, very good second half. That goal was also awesome team-play. All by all a very positive performance in a stadium a lot of teams will have a hard time.. Congrats to all of you .
Good match in the big scheme of things. After the Supercoppa high, we need grinta. This was a pure grinta match. No major injuries, a lot to work on, and three points. I'll take it.
Yep,Vucinic was very average in the first. I sort of expect Llorente to play a bigger role next week, as he starts to get his fitness up. Vidal wasn't his usual self but got better in the second also. Great to have Tevez scoring, as you said, it was a really good team goal. A MOM is hard in this sort of game but I guess its either Pogba or Tevez and ill give it to Pogba I think.
Man that was a frustrating match, can't believe we actually won it. Impeccable play by everyone involved in the goal, other than that there were no standout performances. Tevez needs to gel further with the team, Vucinic needs to stop being brilliant for 5 seconds of every match (even though it opened up the play for our goal). Pogba was weak today imo, Pirlo was ok.
Three points. Tevez first goal. Solid, fairly comfortable win and performance. Tough venue we haven't won at against Samp in years. Great way to start the campaign.
Cannot complain at all. Our one true moment of quality won us the game. Can't wait til were 100% match fit. We're gonna rape this league. Again.
