I think they will go 4 on the back. 4-4-2 is out of the question if you are not Mike Bassett.

You can get 17-1 for 2-2 worth a tenner? Joking of course

De Gea looking around to see where the ball went was priceless :lol:

That half could’ve been 6 if it wasn’t for De Gea. Totally dominated the game with United only getting the odd sight of our goal. Rather not say anything about their set-up or tactics as it’s working bloody well for us.

Just another 2 to calm the nerves, please.

Yeah I won't be comfortable until we score the 3rd.

If they can turn us over when we're 2 up at home and about the win the league, the wankers can do it here.

Highly unlikely but a 3rd goal will certainly calm me

Foden is potent, I'd like to see what Grealish can do centrally, he's so creative. We could build attacks around him. It could even be our 'plan B'.


agreed. i like grealish but he is never a winger.

That change for the Rags had to happen, the defence was all over the place. Like us to sit back a bit deeper now when needed and hit them on the counter.

Again, they get a FK for losing the ball. What happened to all this ‘play on’ business?

Cant wait to see how Pep has tweaked us to take advantage of the RAG 'tactics'.

Sancho on, rags gone to back four, will zone make a difference with his tactical masterclass?

Ronaldo clearly offside in the replay for the RAG freekick but noone mentions it

Getting fuck all from the ref, who’d have thought it.
