It's easier to pressure sides who are poor technically, they will give the ball away same as our lesser players will when they are squeezed. Man U are mostly coping with our press by staying calm and passing through it.

Well we've done that, but without skill and composure you can still give the ball away once you've won it. That's what happened for their goal, and a near miss after that.

Lack of composure. We aren't going to win every duel. Sometimes you need to be able to just knock it about and keep possession not just charge about thundering into challenges.

People need to stop insisting Man U are shit. They are nowhere as near as good as they want to be, but they still have a team of very expensive players who can pass it about well.

Feel this is a lazy assumption. We are winning the physical battle, but we still lack composure on the ball. Man U can play it around well mostly, they are a danger on the break.

But they have the quality to punish you as well, like I said in the pre-match, it's not like playing Southampton.

Goal from nothing really.

Fuck me, how did he save that???

He can strike a lovely ball, never misses by much even when it's not on target.

Was just going to say we hadn't seen much of Isak, but quality over quantity every time!

What a fucking goal!!!

Their players are technically quite good, they can manage the press better than shitter teams usually do.

Pretty much what I ezpected tbh. Man U are still decent opposition even if they don't have much phsyical presence.

Fuck me that was a dreadful free kick.

I saw them against Man City, while everyone was slagging them off, I thought they moved the ball around quite nicely.

Good cross, someone should have been on the end of it.

Feels like we have been winning the physical battle, but lacking in the finesse dept so far.

it would be nice, but it's Man U not Southampton, and we don't have Eddie out there either. Just a win at the final whistle will do.

Gordon and Osula are the only two players on the bench with pace to trouble the opposition if we need a goal. Every other player on the bench is defensive mode only.

At this stage I'll take a draw all day long.

Just counting down the days until he's banned tbh. We had to take our medicine on the chin with Tonali, this cunt has been playing an extra season while waiting for his case to go to court.

Who's going to play up front in his absence though? Can't see any out and out striker in that team, unless you count Zirkzee as one.

Man U might be going through a transition, but they still have good players. I've watched them in recent games, and while they are a bit powder puff, they are still a collection of technically good footballers who can pass it about pretty well. This will be a tricky game, we need to make sure we don't give them any foothold in the game through gift goals or sloppy shape.

They will, just as soon as they've had long enough to doctor them sufficiently to back up the refs decision.

How would you know? Not like they've shown the lines on the replay, they just confirmed the refs decision as quickly as they could
