Armstrong poor touch and then put on his arse by Shaw. Fuck sake.

Feels like he wants Armstrong on to be more disciplined defensively, which I think is a mistake.

Don't agree with that sub at all. Alcaraz must be carrying an injury. That honestly feels like a slightly defensive sub.

Fucking hell, what!?!?

Fernandes should be in the book here.

They're backing off not expecting us to have the quality to create anything. We can do this saints. They are however falling over at every little touch...

So, so, close....

United aren't pressing much, I'd just play keep ball for 10 minutes and make them realise they have to come at us.

I certainly am not advocating for shutting up shop, but I wouldn't be pushing more than we have been and taking more risks, especially not with Rashford playing up front through the middle now.

I don't see United changing much, so don't think we should either. What I would be doing is getting the ball through the middle more and taking advantage of the overload against their now two man midfield.

You would be disappointed with a point? I think that's being overly optimistic. A win would be utterly incredible but considering we had already written this game off, getting that one point means that we aren't "just in touch" by being three points behind, we're actually three points off getting out of it.

Armstrong hasn't performed for about 2 seasons now though.

A draw would be a superb result. Puts us 3 points off 15th with a game in hand over Everton.

Three factors on that one, not an unnatural position, not intentional and doesn't affect the play as if it didnt hit his arm it would have done to his feet anyway.

Come on lads, pretty obvious that they've just been fired up by the perceived injustice of the ref not capitulating and giving them everything they want. Let their adrenaline run out and we'll see what happens second half. Surrounding the ref at half time now too. Cunts.

Alcaraz first touch has gotten feet lazy since the red card. Taylor needs to book Fernandes for his nonsense here.

Arghhh wasted by Walcott.....

Never a penalty, fuck off you pricks.

Absolutely take a draw now, nevermind what's happened here it would be a point none of us would have factored in. Good save Bazunu...not a fan of him turning his back on it though, got lucky really.

With the quality united have that probably only just levels the playing field to be honest. Need to try and exploit the space in the middle now because they haven't changed it, and Fernandes hasn't got the discipline to play that DM role effectively.

Fucking get in!

They'll never give that at old Trafford.

Selles has changed the punishments for breach of team rules so that they're not as harsh anymore.

Alcaraz, lavia, Adams, JWP and Sulemana have been outstanding so far.

Brilliant from Alcarez, Perraud and Walcott.
