Really like Gueye and Veretout. They seem to have an edge about them. They're chippy and aggressive but fair.

I think Gueye is showing tackle abilities greater than that snake.


Not sure the kick to Yanuzaj's (spl?) face was too fair...

You also spelled Januzaj with a Y.

Very disappointed we haven't put Romero under any sort of pressure.

Spurs didn't really either last week.  Van Gaal seems to have their defence working pretty well unfortunately.

On reflection, we can knock the front two but they've had zero service. With Bacuna and Amavi (ignoring Sinclair), we really should be getting more balls into the box.

Why leave your most potent attacking threat on the bench? This is Man Utd, not Bournemouth. We can't contain for 45 then hit them; we have to give ourselves the best possible chance for the whole 90 minutes.

We've got someone on the bench who will be ideal to give them a proper test. The soon Rudy comes on the better.

Those average formation diagrams put up on the coverage showed a pretty interesting story.

Utd were almost symetrical and evenly spaced around the field whereas we were a bit all over the shop.  Gueye and Westwood were in the same positions and Gabby, Ayew and Sinclair were way too close together.

That was bullshit the free against Gabby there.  Smalling has pushed our forwards more blatantly at least 3 times so far.

For all the complaints about Gabby in the first half and I don't disagree with them, he was still better than Rooney.
