Can't see Everton being as deep on Wednesday as they were at Tottenham, mind. They'll still sit off us like which is why the first goal in this is huge. If we get it I think we'll win the game.

I think the Wilson one is more of a pen but both can easily be given. I think that they didn't give the Sancho one because they didn't give the Wilson one and tried to be consistent, which is a rare thing at Old Trafford especially for us. When looking back at highlights from previous seasons at this fixture, the one we didn't get in 2004 on Shearer, man. Ref come out in front of the cameras and apologised it was that bad.

They got owt planned for Everton?

Might be some news soon, check the Leicester away thread in the Tickets section, think that may be on the 27th but I could be reading into it a bit too much.

He did make 35 appearances last season tbf. 31 starts.

23. Steve Bruce is a fucking football terrorist.

This is more out of hope but if Leverkusen are still in the bottom half of the Bundesliga and are out of the Champions League come the World Cup or January and we're in touch of 7th or the top 6, may that tempt him? Or tempt Al-Rumayyan to get the cheque book out again a la the Isak deal?

Agree with both. If we sign a midfielder it needs to be a defensive minded one, hence why I really wasn't arsed about the likes of Paqueta, though the Maddison thing confuses me a bit. I think we'll look at attacking players in January should we be in touch of Europe come the World Cup. Diaby, Maddison, that ilk. But where the latter fits into the 4-3-3 I don't know, unless it's in that RW slot which operates more in the half space but I'd have thought that position is Isak's when Wilson's fit (which is rare admittedly).

His time out of the game and visit to watch Simeone work has surely had an enormous impact on him as a manager now thus also us. We've got a little Atleti-esque shithousery about us now with hitting the deck/wasting time as well as the defensive solidity.

Nunez utter shit. I'd be fucking livid if that was one of our players.

We'll likely drop to 7th on Tuesday as Brighton are at home to Forest. But I do think 7th will mainly be contested between us and Brighton depending on how De Zerbi gets them going. 9, maybe 10 or 12 points (as I don't fear anyone at SJP) from our remaining games before the World Cup would be a great return. Players to come back from injury post World Cup and a transfer window coming up, if we're still in touching distance of 6th when that comes round we'll be reet.

Palace League Cup game as well as the 5 league games.

Same, seems to be soft tissue injuries almost every week but at the same time we only have 6 games before the World Cup, 2 of them are within this next 7 days. Wilson just has to stay fit for these league games, canny ridiculous we're still having to say this though tbph.

Fuck sake, man. Hopefully Wilson's muscles don't implode within the next 6 games then.

MOTM for me. Immense, though I think that he lost Rashford for his header that he probably should've scored.

We were also missing Isak and ASM, we'd have had a lot more of a cutting edge to capitalise on our 1st half performance or some breaks we did have in the 2nd. Main reason I'm really happy with the result.

It's a joke, man.

Froggy is such a WUM man, why are some of yous biting Imagine if this place existed in 1996. Convinced there'd be death threats in response.

A point at Old Trafford despite being nowhere near our best or full strength, take that all day. Onto Everton.

Need to get our Bruno involved in the game a bit more.

Good so far. Joelinton had to score that 2nd header man, ffs.

Honest thoughts ahead of this? I'd take a point and run from this fixture given our absentees.
