Good performance & result on Thursday, then back to normal on Sunday.
Bilbao was a good game because they're a good side, the red card obviously helped however it did come after we'd scored & we were starting to ask more questions going forward. The only negative was that we only scored 3 which, sadly, for this Manchester United team isn't enough to act like we're already through. We've been battered 3-0 at home more times than I care to remember these last 10 odd years post-SAF reign.
Brentford was dreadful, those goals in the last 10 minutes restored a vague level of respect to the result, but in reality the game wasn't close & Brentford could have scored 1 or 2 more. We did field a weaker team with some U21 players, the best thing about the game was getting them the game time & getting Amad & Mount minutes also.
The only thing that can vaguely save our season is the EL at this point, everything else has been a disaster.
