What exactly is the point of that chart ?
it illustrates how officials are intimidated by Anfield and Old Trafford...Liverpool hadn't won the league for ages before Turkey Teeth rocked up, and Utd have been nothing special since Fergie packed it in...

To be honest the top 2 have been heavily aided and abetted by dodgy refs for decades now.

Would be great with just the lion or the AV logo.

Don't like the club crest with New Era. Doesn't look right.
I agree. I don’t like the club crest with anything. Without going over old ground, it’s a graphic design catastrophe. Yes, just the lion would be better.

Agree - shame we couldn’t crack the branding to go alongside the great work SUE has in getting us back to where we belong.

Hate playing this lot.
Bit like lancing a boil, let’s get it over with and move onto Chelsea.
If we ‘do’ win, then I’ll start getting my head turned by a title race.

If Carse carries on like his first 4 overs there is a career as a Pukka Pie salesman awaiting

Be interesting to see how we approach it. Go for them, like we did against bournemouth, or sit back and try to dictate the pace and slow the game down.

Slow the pacing down will just allow likes of Fernandes to get on the ball now. Without Amad and Mbeumo down the right they're also going to be far less dangerous with quick counters.

A problem for us is standing off them and Fernandes getting the ball as he likes to ping quick diagonals over our full backs heads and that causes us issues. The 3-2 Boxing day collapse in 2023 he was doing that at will in the second half.

With likes of Man. City and Arsenal it is more of a chess match in the VP games and that suits us but Man. United are dangerous for quick bursts and then fall away as quickly so I'd rather not give them the ball for large periods to grow in confidence which was seemingly the gameplan for the last day in May for some strange reason.
