Miss some part of the second half, but I think it's fair to say that we were lucky. Lucky with Rooney's first goal, and lucky to be up 3-0 so fast. I thought Roma was the better team overall, and yes, long balls are considered a tactic too and it shows that it was a good tactic against us.

For me, I hope United will not use this style of play again. Its damn depressing see the opposition holding the ball and we just sit back. I would rather we keep the ball and play slow, patience, probing attacks.

The first goal might be lucky, but you make your own luck. It's not the first time Rooney hit one of those amazing shots(Arsenal in his Everton days). As for scoring goals in quick successions, just look back at the LA Galaxy game. The fluidity is back in our play that's been missing for a year or two now and we're reaping the rewards from that. Stick to the same side that played in the first half, we would likely ripped them to shreds. Look at the quality of attacking players we have and tell me with a straight face that we're not capable of that sort of stuff.

I wouldn't judge our backline that featured the youngsters. Blackett was awful playing them onside time and time again. Reece James have looked quite good as LWB. Could save us some cash buying back to Sjaw if he keep this up. But we really need to add another CB at least if we plan to play with. 3 CBs. Keane would be a useful back there.

Need another CM. After Herrera and Carrick, big gulf to the next one. Cleverley have turn into a pondan. Disappointing seeing him play this way compared to the busy fearless attacking intent he showed in his first season or two for us. Since then, a lot of our players follow similar path. Nani, Valencia, Ando.. Where did those awesome performances go?
