Still 0. Not. Going. Down.

Aye, I thought it was good because I enjoyed the honesty of it, not enough of that nowadays, but likewise Longstaff was excellent to basically say "We've got his back and he'll show you". Was good leadership and fantastic to see.

Fernandes is a proper tit. Actually, it was refreshing seeing Neville say at half time about the whinging. Man United reeked of petulance, and just being a bunch of overpaid spoiled brats for the first hour or in fact until they scored. They deserved SFA tonight and a Man City would have beat them aboot 6 nowt tonight

More great work on the media front, more improvement, deceny enough squad management given what he has/has had to work with. Pleased with him so far.

I see him has being a Siem de Jong type but obviously in a lesser way like. Playing in the pockets and closing down opposition in the final third.

Going to add to this too his interview was absolutely class. Absolutely had his teammates back and basically told everyone to STFU.

That's not a criticism of Shelvey's efforts. He's seemingly fitter and/or more willing than he has been for a long time because of the way he's been man managed. However, athleticism isn't his strong point and nor has it ever been.

I can take certain criticisms of Longstaff but not lack of stamina like? I'm sure he runs the most in the team or something daft, his pressure got us the goal tonight and he did a lot of the defensive work his team mates were incapable or unwilling to do.

Nah, he was just covering Shelvey's lack of athleticism and ASMs lack of defensive work in our half.

The Longstaff one?

Great tonight for us

The hand ball wasn't a pen, but why thr fuck wasn't it reviewed. The Fraser one wasn't a pen, but nor was the Maddison one. We haven't got any of those...

He's been one of our best players for weeks. He's been everything Neville complained Man United didn't have at half time too.

We have half a season and are only 2 points adrift. We'll do this. 100%

I don't care how bitter this sounds either. I could take Wilson being offside, but funny how the soft pen wasn't given for us tonight with another tackle on Fraser. A handball that didn't even get a second look. We got no rub of the green again. Fucking pisses me right off.

Murphy out of position because of this...

Muxh better there when he sniffed a goal. Needs to do that all the time though

The team covering for ASMs lack of defensive work 2nd half, that'll cost us if we're not careful.

Teams cannot handle his physicality. They're obstructing him now, stepping across him to stop the challenge on their team mates.

They're stepping across Joelinton all the time and blocking him from challenging the ball. They're obstructing. With ASM they're doubling up too. Quality all round, so far. Giving everything you want to see, as they have done in the last 6 games, for me. Mistakrs have been made, but you cannot fault application.

Also, if someone boots Fernandez onto the roof of the Leazes I'll take the 2-1 defeat. (Not really.)

Sky are twats like. So patronising. They hate the fact we're winning, but don't wanna fuck us off so keep on with this spiel about one club city, amazing fans, expectation etc. Fuck right off man. Man United have been forced into mistake after mistake and we've capitalised. More of the same second half lads. Howay!

Aye, I've defended it, and will continue to do so because they're tryers, and they've been here through the shite, but we really do need better now.
