    Yeah. Not the best game so far. Will be interesting to see if tempo and chances will come as the match progresses.

    Rashford looks lively though United in the final third the players not in tune at moment

    You can see what they're trying to do, but the precision is a bit off so far. The quality among those players can change that, though.

    Really far out on that free-kick. He's young, though. 18 I believe?

    I'm no United fan, but I'm looking forward to seeing Zlatan back eventually. Lukaku can't play everything either.

    Me too Lukaku not looked sharp last few games though Jose just can't rest him at moment, United are missing Pogba's creativity

    My Fantasy-team is also missing Pogba's creativity! United looking good for clean sheets these days, though – but they sure need Pogba.

    One area we have depth is centre backs that's for sure, Jose will be happy with tonight players not taxed too much.

    They've been solid tonight. Benfica down to ten!

    ...but nothing more to happen before full-time. Jose will be happy with 3 points, though.

    True it's a marathon not a sprint United have six games in 18 days this month, Jose will be happy with tonight with 3 points and qualification to next round almost in the bag.

    Nice gesture. They're both Belgian and I think they know each other from the Anderlecht youth.

    The under-rated and disrespected Girou does it again.

    Did not know that! Nice gesture nonetheless.

    Always when a goal seems so unlikely, he's there – doing the most unlikely kind of finish on top of that. Nice build-up by Wilshere and Walcott inside the box as well. Think this was, TO THE DAY, four years after the Wilshere-goal against Norwich City.

    To be honest, I'm enjoying Arsenal in EL more than PL at the moment. Lot's of youngsters in the squad, and they are actually winning games. Rosenborg on the other hand, not so much. But Arsenal in EL is fun – boring game last night aside.

    I haven't seen any of them in EL as its on BT spit...I mean BT sport....but its good to see youngsters being given chances.

    How else did Rashford,Alli etc get where they are without being given chances by Man Utd and MK Dons .

    I'm quite intrigued as to the undercard for Spurs v Liv on Sunday.

    Everton v Arse and something's got to give. Everton lose and Koemam is gone that evening (although to be fair he probably is already anyway), Arsenal lose and the pressure starts to crank up on Wenger as per (and I get to chortle at some quality DT and Troopz rants).

    To be honest they should both move first and pounce for Marco Silva before the other one gets him.

    Well, if you're expecting the very best games, you're not missing anything. But it is a nice change from PL Arsenal, for sure. Some good performances from the young guys last night too. Really, really hope a few of them can be found in the starting eleven in a few years time. What's the deal with BT Spit/Sport, by the way? That horrible?

    Would love to see Marco Silva in Arsenal. Looking at what he did with Hull, and now Watford – one could only imagine what he could do with a bigger club. He already has the PL experience, so there's no reason for a bigger club not to take the chance.

    Well? Looks like Brighton are gonna get a great result! Pleased for Chris Hughton! Possibly Bilic will be given the push after this result?

    Lovely stuff. The only thing more enjoyable than watching London Utd getting turned over is watching the Scum get beaten.

    Brighton were on fire tonight. Chris Hughton is doing a really good job with this team.

    How long before TheWiz pops up with his usual cumshot of how "Jose is the only one who knows how to win at football"??
