He picked a team that scored twice and created enough chances to win the game. And even if he picked a full strength side individual errors and fuck ups happen. Man U changed things up to. We could and should have won.

At the outset of the game, he picked a weakened team. Whatever then transpired, it wasn't going all out to win it.  It was a shit line up, as just about everybody including you alluded to in the pre-match thread.

I’m not dismissing that he could have put out a better side. But it doesn’t just guarantee a win. Football doesn’t work that way. But the side he ultimately put out combined with the tactical approach, something we haven’t had in ages which is incredibly important put us in a position to win. Multiple times. At some point we all need to get used squad rotation and resting key players. Maybe that game wasn’t the time to do it. We can argue that. But it’s never not going to happen. Especially with PL sides. Full strength sides are likely to be used much later in a competition and even then it might not happen. We need better squad players long time. And certainly a squad minus Robin Olsen.

Fancy watching the WC and the draw? You can't because the BBC are wankers and won't move Strictly Come Cunting!

Just realised a mate is a dead ringer for Mark Wright. He didn't seem that pleased when I texted him to say he was on BBC 2.
