just finished watching it. we won 2-1. some thoughts:

-They were the best team we faced on our tour and we still looked like the much better side throughout the balance of the 90 minutes. so that's good i guess.

-First half they came out rather dangerous early, though we did as well. It was very open. Later in the first half we dominated. Should've scored a few, but never did.

-Second half we scored a nice goal. Had a couple of really great chances to score afterwards. We were totally dominating. Then, we gave up a goal off a corner and lost control of the match for about 10 minutes. we ended on top but our second goal was really lucky. bad defensive error that Akpom buried.

-Walcott should've had probably 4 or 5 goals. 3 of them were clear cut chances. On a couple of other occasions he was selfish when someone else was in on goal. A night to forget for him.

-Kos played the full 90 which is reassuring. Had to put on the burners a few times. His pace always surprises me.

-Rambo and Ox paired up in CM at the beginning of the second half. Worked well for a bit, but after the goal we got overrun.

-Zelalem came in for Ox around the 69th minute. Did nothing really of note in the deeper position. Got dispossessed once, but it sure liked like he was fouled twice trying to wiggle away from challenges, waiting for someone to give him a passing option.

-on a larger note, our movement on the whole tonight was fairly poor. a couple of real bright spots, but too much standing around.

-Gnabry looked good again. Ryo played fairly well too in his 45. both had a couple of really dangerous moments.

-Baccy started at RB, played CB in the second half. solid performance.

-Jenkinson got skinned a couple of times, including a 'meg that led to a foul, which led to a corner, which led to the goal.

-Miquel actually had a couple of really dangerous crosses, but wasn't particularly great defensively.

-Rambo played a lovely pass to Theo to set up Poldi's goal. Solid performance from him.

-Rosicky looked great. Still has great burst at 32. Should've had a handful of assists, but Theo was wasteful and Rambo missed just wide.

-Fabianski actually had a really great game. Made at least 2 great saves. Wasn't at fault on the goal.

-ManU lost and drew the two J League teams they played this week. So
