That’s why you don’t let your squad down to no good creative midfielders. I get the letting the team rot until you need many windows to address it. Like the CB situation too. But I can’t get on Board with that tactic. I’d rather we don’t allow us to get in to such a state where you need so much doing. Just different ways of doing things.

Personally think this squad rebuild is shaping up to be the best in a loooooong time.

More purposeful and strategic than the Poch build imo.
 
Just needed that bit of precision in the front third. Thought our defence and midfield were solid and dominated the game. Man Us goals were out of no where and extremely well taken so a draw over all, considering our injuries is fine. Would have bated them with a full squad though
 
Given our record there and missing players, there's worse things than a point away at Old Trafford.

I'm desperate to see what we can do with a fully fit squad now.

We've got a bit of a gap now to rest and get some players back. Nice easy game against City in the cup before what should hopefully be a run of very winnable matches in the league.

Will be super interesting to see where things stand come April.

Disappointed the youngsters never got a look in and yet Hojbjerg and Skipp played so many minutes. Even Johnson could have been off for Santiago at least. I guess that's the pragmatic side of Ange and he hasn't seen the youngsters deserving any more minutes still.

There is levels to the game though mate.. remember when everyone was calling for Troy Parrot in Kane's absence.... The lad has only played 4 minutes of prem football since and probably didn't touch the ball.
 
It’s about time we looked at a couple of,players from the under 23s who are scoring well. Johnson and Gil are both not Doing enough. Werner is rusty I know but he seeemed to not want to take anybody on rather pass back. United are dross"

50m on Johnson is a shocking waste of money.

Welp, we had to get him before he blew up and was beyond our budget, you see? WC in the making...and that costs 55M Euro. Clubs like Bournemouth take punts like Semenyo for 10M...but we're a big club so it's 55M...

OR, it's another instance of doing business with agents/clubs that will do business with us on players on short contracts.

OR, Ange REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted him.

Dealer's choice!
 
We've just gone to Old Trafford and played them off the park.
Surely everyone can see the potential in this Ange side?
We are on to something special and I'm loving the direction this club is moving. .
We will still have fans 🤣🤣 that just want to slam Levy with little or no knowledge of what we are building.

This current set up is something special. If you fuckwits can't see it, fuck off and support someone else.

We practically played the 2nd half with 10 men....

Skip was chasing shadows of the united or something , absolutely non - existence

But you know the ball he played at the end of the first half, that Werner didn't finish... Did that not happen?

Did he NOT do his bit? Give credit where it's due, he did what was expected of him, and STILL put a killer ball in that COULD'VE led to a goal.... The fact it didn't is not down to him!

Bizarre considering the entirety of the second half was 2-2 and so any moment of magic could have put them ahead to win the game. It's not like we were tonking them 5-0.

If only possession, shots on target, touches in the opponent's box meant something. But we had to come from behind twice.

Apparently (according to Sky) we played on the counter.
