Man U have dragged us down to their level.

Seems to be playing like a bottom 6 against top 6 with giving up possession and inviting us to break them down whilst they try to hit on the counter with long balls from the keeper.

Edit: They have had more recently.

It was always the way they were going to play as it's ETH only tactic. Unfortunately it worked against us last season.

Made easier when you have a ref that's happy to let them do the job for him as well.

Man Utd are constantly getting the bounce of the ball and the scraps.

Maguire and 53 year old Evans is the kind of CB pairing I think a team like Burnley would have for their relegation season.
