Sorry.

Terry's just announced his retirement from playing.

I'm pro-eyes. I dont like the concept of it, and don't think I ever will.

Wildcard time.

Ninth win in a row.

Good post Heron. The bit about our defending in general after they changed things on 20mins is a fair one considering the chances Rashford and Matic missed which were laughably bad.

At 2-0 down at half time, at home against a team in terrible form, even Mourinho would be forced to tell his team to go all-out attack. It worked.

Well done to everyone involved with organising and taking part again this time around, I love how this has continued over the years. A fine legacy for Jon, who will always be remembered.

That would have gone down really well.

Yep. So long as we're in or likely to be in the Premier League, he literally can't lose.

That goal by Sigurdsson is a pisstake.

Looked good. Should have scored that header though.

Do I correctly recall seeing him with his hand up apologising literally as Mata started celebrating btw?

Yeah it was a mixed game. Unfortunately the bad parts probably cost us three points.

He's basically been gash since we signed him permanently like.

I'm still just about there, but most of it is because I want to like him. He needs an extended run of games to prove himself one way or another.

He'll be buzzing that the win bonuses were saved. Looked iffy at half time.

Fair enough. What would you have done differently? Counter-attack. Get the ball and break with pace, don’t hoof it long to a small striker like we opted for. Short, quick passing as we did for 45 minutes. Just because they attacked us doesn’t mean we can’t pass the ball without it being 30+ yards. Don’t concede any stupid fouls, stay on your feet when possible and force them down the line. Don’t let them cut inside. All sounds obvious but we didn’t do any of the above in that second half. Assuming you're referring to their first goal do you think the manager told them to start conceding stupid fouls? Or stopped telling them not to?

No need for the name-calling, folks. We just lost a match from 2-0 up. Naive as fuck to believe any manager isn't going to get some criticism for that.

Fair enough. What would you have done differently?

Should be better now.

Righto.

Could have sworn they scored it.

Yep. Expected to lose, and we lost. As ever though this club just shits on you from a great height. What's the fucking point.
