Highlight of the game was Luke Shaws foul throw on 76 minutes and Fernandes crying when he got subbed. You must agree Shaw was outstanding though? AWB too.

Think they are scared of the big teams, so just try to snatch and grab a win nowadays So scared we had about 4 chances to win the game in the 2nd half. Big games like that with so much at stake can always be tight. A lot at stake. Considering we are 3 points ahead, going hell for leather would have been crazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing Jota big time! We are back to the same issue... labelling counter attacking teams defensive as some kind of slight. We play different ways against different teams. Not at all concerned by any labels as long as we stay in our current position. United are 7/1 for the title. Obviously we are still an outside shout, but that looks like value to me.

Have you forgotten what club you are? You aren't WBA, you are the self confessed biggest club in the world who now sit back and defend. I'm not saying you should have gone hell for leather but do you really think it's acceptable for the mighty United to allow the opposition to have 65.7% of possession?

We went to play the Champions who are 67 games unbeaten at home and came away with a point and had plenty of chances to win the game. That will do me.

Again - anything which isn't all guns blazing now equals Sam Allardyce. That's really basic. They are 3 points behind us, playing at home, and with their famous front 3 all fit. But yet the onus is on us to throw caution to the wind? Pay a visit to Planet Earth every now and then. Or more appropriately for you 'take your head out of the sand'.

Whereas last season I recall us doing well against the big teams and falling short against sides we should be trouncing. You are arguing that we should have played a different style vs Liverpool away. But as I said, we took a point and could have easily won the game. So I don't know where you are coming from.

I don't go along with your premise that this is Sam Allardyce football. You can have your tiki-taka. I enjoy watching City play. But United have scored some of the best goals this season too. I am happy that we play pacy, direct football in keeping with our traditions. It would make me uncomfortable playing a style transplanted from a foreign club, which is coached in Spanish, managed in Catalan and funded with checks written in Arabic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, whoever lifts that trophy isn't going to be kicking themselves saying "I wish we had been more attacking in X game". Stop trying to troll the untrollable and just enjoy what is turning out to be a exciting title race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the 'batterings' for the likes of man utd and spurs whose strengths,arguably, are pace on the break, happen when they're drawn up the park and their defending is hap hazard.. NOT gonna happen with utds defence that I've been watchin recently . Early season... Yeah .. but now... No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
