Charlie Austin said the same thing after the Southampton match:
"Speaking to TalkSPORT, [Charlie] Austin replied 'yes' when asked whether he thought Manchester United were there for the taking on Saturday afternoon, before adding: 'We were strong all over the field. You know with Man Utd that if you frustrate them early in the game the fans will get on their back.'"
All our opponents are coming to OT with this kind of game-plan. And it's working: start somewhat brightly but fail to break down a packed defence, players begin to lose confidence, crowd turns, all grinds to a halt, opponents score with a quick counter-attack or a set-piece. Good times
