I will never believe it myself, so if it ever happens...? 'kin 'ell.

I know we did [3 times] and he fact my love affair with the club began when we were at that level, being the best of the second best has always turned out to be adequate. But it's not a title to defend.

They weren't entirely unforced errors, even if they had a nightmare defensively; there's credit for us to take.

This. Under Bruce, those goals never happen because we allowed teams to casually play it out and around us. I'm so, so, fucking glad that the days of us being a soft touch are well and truly gone.

Great result and great atmosphere L.

 

My sons opinion though. 
We are zero threat from corners or crosses.

 

This was the insight of my 8yr old lad today. 

 

 

 

I thought we were really inventive from set pieces today. I realise I'm arguing with a bairn's opinion here.

Late to post but my thoughts:

 

I actually thought we played better against Palace and Bournemouth at times. The difference was that Frank didn't play a low block, which is suicide against us.

 

If you sit behind the ball and ask us to break you down, then we might struggle but if you open up and leave spaces we work the ball very well.

 

They gifted us 3 goals but you have to take into account the sheer persistence of our pressure. In this league, if you want to play out from the back, you need to be bloody good or it can cost you. Ultimately Brentford had Mee and Ajer trying to play out and thats crackers in reality.

 

Wilson should have had 2 goals today, let's hope he saving them for Old Trafford.

Mate it hadn’t crossed my mind until he mentioned it. But apart from the cross v Leicester that Bruno headed in. I cant remember a cross or corner scored from since.

Our set pieces are very deliberate and so many appear crafted at the training ground. I'm not surprised that we're starting to see some returns. There was one a few minutes before the goal today which was almost converted.

 

That ball from Trippier, though. God alfuckingmighty. ?

Well that was fucking class, everyone was excellent minus some suspect passing at time. Botman is so so good, Bruno is actually magic and even Murphy was outstanding today. Going to be games where it doesn't quite click but when it does we're unstoppable.
