10 things we learned from last night's game

Manchester United won 1-0 against CSKA Moscow to go on top of Group B in the Champions League and here are 10 things we learned.

1. Attacking football is more exhilarating to watch than pass, pass, pass, pass boredom.

2. Jesse Lingard is that kind of a player. ❤❤❤

3. Michael Carrick still got it. ❤ Him and Bastian Schweinsteiger made a case for 4-4-2. The offered great cover to defence but more so, Bastian was all up in the attack while Carrick controlled the game from start to finish.

4. When Anthony Martial Officiel gets frustrated, bring on the Big Fella. That was a good tactical move by LVG in retrospect...

5. However... Van Gaal was good for the first time at OT for making a substitution nobody wanted to see happen.

6. Now that Wayne Rooney has scored - let's all agree it was long overdue - but it was nice to see the Captain so hungry for goals.

7. Memphis Depay seems to have learned some lessons. He was sharing and being all controlled. ‪#‎thebreakdidhimgood‬

8. Marcos Rojo is a fighter. His runs forward were awesome but then, so was his defensive moves.

9. But the football brains award still go to Daley Blind who was able to temper very fast CSKA forwards with great positioning.

10. Chris Smalling though, takes the icing on the cake because ‪#‎thebeast‬was just awesome in his moves and that save was major.

Plus He's not Mike Smalling and he also saves.

10.1 There are no small teams in the Champions League and CSKA really fought to win it.

10.2 United' can attack when they want to - never gave time for the opponents to mount an attack.

10.3 It was another day when DDG took a break, but he deserves it as we go into the EPL this weekend!

10.4 We called it: If Ander Herrera was going to come in this match, it was to be in defensive midfield.

10.5 It feels nice to have Champions League matches. Very, very nice.
