Hope we stick with him through his Baran spell.

You exorcise demons bez.

I’m sure the irony isn’t lost.

I'd guess to win something? Rightly or wrongly.

I feel the conversation with Wilson begins and ends with his fitness record. If the club is confident that those issues are behind him then great. If they aren’t then it’s a no from me because a player who isn’t available is pointless.

@Mike must have gotten your ticket.

If they hadn’t scored the blockbuster we go in 2-1 up against a team that was tiring quickly.

I disagree. They pressed aggressively and we coped with it well. Prior to the wonder strike we were well in control of the game. Not sure what was dubious about the goals beyond did the ball cross the line on the first. They had a deflected goal for the first, a cross that was headed wide and the side foot chance, but they were always going to have chances. We play a direct 4-3-3 and the most important player in terms of tightening up the defensive performance of the team (Tonali) wasn’t on the pitch.

Think describing us as collectively shite for that first half performance is harsh. Disjointed to start but actually we controlled the game well after an early set back. Those were exceptionally difficult conditions for a patchwork team.

Played far beyond his years yesterday.

He’s like the janitor of the squad. Gets called into a mess and just mops it up. Considering he doesn’t play much at all, he’s very good at coming in and performing.

This was a really hard game, particularly for a side that haven’t played together. I think it’s very impressive how we came through it. To go an early goal down, control the game and then concede to a wonder goal before half time. Really resilient performance against a very confident team, with a hostile atmosphere and dismal conditions.

He’s good fun. Also some real variety to his wide play.

He really is the best.

We have everything necessary to be a very good cup team. I think we will go with a strong squad. Really shouldn't be throwing away opportunities to win something.

His movement is just incredible. Guys a genius.

He wasn’t stretchered off or anything. Hopefully just precautionary.

Get back on page 1. Mods sticky this thread. They should have sent a poet.

Congratulations Sandro, you’re hepatitis A.

Man United are being expertly ran by the Glazers. Both Liverpool and City are bigger clubs, Liverpool historically and City contemporaneously. Froggy, do not post for 24 hours if you agree.

When we end up flipping the Serb, the Georgian, the Spaniard and the Turk for £120,000,000 we might be able to improve the first team squad.

I stopped following him after he got the Wijnaldum deal all wrong.

The Turkish guy has 1.7m followers.

Didn't look particularly enthused when the idea of a new contract was floated.
