last 15 minutes have been really good. See, that's the frustrating part - they are capable of doing this, yet always stink it up for large parts of the game.

We were due for a proper game from Pogba. Zidane surely watching.

I feel like they counter really well and as soon as their opponent starts taking chances they are so punishing, Rashford is so good in those types of situations and OGS being forced to put Mata on was an unintentional master stroke as he plays the balls to unlock quick forwards on teams when they press against United.

On the Champions League, I am sure Glazers are negotiating with the other big clubs to give themselves voting rights to eliminate those pesky medium/smaller clubs like Leipzig out of the competition in future years. How dare you have the nerve to try and beat a big six club on the field, stay in your lane.

Its so weird to see fans in the stands.

It actually makes me a little uncomfortable. You wouldnt catch me in an arena.

Bamford gives Leeds the lead almost immediately.

Maybe the real key to Pogba playing better is just making sure he’s wearing black and white stripes...

I'd say its safer than your typical visit to a grocery store.

The thing that would put me off is getting on transport to go to the game.

If there is one player on Spurs I like its Son.

That guy is fantastic.

Looks like the Arsenal is empty.

Mourinho has Spurs playing so well! Three clean sheets in a row and defensively very solid. Kane and Son connecting again and overall a great display. I’m starting to believe that we can do this!

Wolves always give us a hard run, so with all the injuries I'm worried about this one. We didnt buy nearly enough Wolves players to sufficiently weaken them.

Good Lord Adama Traore is a monster. Just a mountain of a human.

We're definitely going to miss having VVD to keep him under control.

That's why the numbers are so low now, with the distancing of the 2000 in that stadium you could easily have 20k, but they said it's the public transport home that they need to avoid

That was a horrible dive by Coady, fully deserving of a yellow, I have no idea how he didnt get booked for that.

And my boy Joel! Its nice having Matip back!

Kelleher was rock solid. We finally have a solid backup.

It was nice to have actual fans back and to hear 'You'll Never Walk Alone' by the crowd.

Moreso though, we got through the match with a clean sheet, a good scoreline and no additional injuries.

Matip and Fabinho show they can stand guard until VVD is back, depending on injuries, and Williams and Jones had another solid match.

Plus Robertson looks okay and TAA got some minutes in.

Just an all around great performance.

Now we just need to knock Spurs off our perch.
