two more chances for united. They have run us ragged for most of this game.

to be fair, on that occasion, he made sure he didnt kick it straight into the attacker as there was no room for error.

not sure how he does not save that. Since then, Livramento apart, we have disappeared.

agreed. We struggled at set pieces, so made a lot of sense. Gives them something to think about too.

really? We hung on for grim life for the most part. Got our goal, and for the five minutes before it we were very strong, but United were so sloppy throughout. If they had scored not us would you have said we played well in that first half? Not a chance.

whether it works or not we have made a tactical change.

he's looked pretty sharp. Seems to understand the positional play required of the press too.

50+ year old man wearing white trainers with a suit...not for me.

no, it was a poor pass by Stephens.

Stephens kills us there. If you are going to play out for the back you need to be better than that.

United giving the ball away and we don't do nearly enough with it.

36:44 seconds.

McCarthy has been positive coming for crosses so far.

enjoy the moment

tremendous. Never a foul. Stephens gets stuck in, the refs are allowing a little more this season. Something to hold on to now.

fucking yeeeeeeeeeees...what a great goal

look at the difference there with that Saints free kick. Incredibly high line by United, but every deepest player when the ball was crossed was a United player and it was easy to head away. How is it that we are the total opposite? Something is very wrong with how we defend set pieces.

almost 30 seconds there with 4 vs 3. How do they have the extra man all the time

also got to have a threat on the break. two strikers ad two wingers but no real threat so far. Risky not having the extra central midfielder.

only extra bodies saving us so far. One we get tired and the extra defender is not there we will be in trouble. Got to get a goal to hang on to. Getting the ball would be a start...

team full of smallish players and players that don't head the ball.

just as well we added lots of power and strength in the air during the summer. Look at Stephens marking Pogba from that free kick. Fucking terrible.

actually, I do, but that's not to say I think either are any good. They are both very poor at this level.

the high line and not marking from free kicks pays off again...somehow.

has there ever been a more agent-placed story than this? Ryan Christie is looking a major move. PLG place this story to attract interest, oh and while we are at it, PLG get their (also) client Stuart Armstrong a massive new contract.
