Positives from today:
- Neco, Rodon played well.
- Ward and 3-4-3 both got game time. Could 3-4-3 become our next formation?
- Bale played the best we've seen him for a while and someone else was our goal-scorer
- Very mature performance from Ampadu
- Some rest for Moore
- Hopefully, we don't play Ireland again for a long time
- A clean sheet, a win and Giggs' developing take on Van Gaal football should keep us competitive no matter who is on the pitch
Negative:
- Not thrilling and development still needed. 2021 is big year for football, including internationals, and hopefully we're leaving plenty in the tank for that period as I can only count 3 or 4 really good performances under Giggs. Still, winning games without performing to our best is pleasing.
