Even the game under Van Gaal which people drool over, we still nearly caved in against 10 @#%&!s in the second half. Much as I really want us to take them to the cleaners on their own patch, there's no way it's going to happen. |

Even if our absolute pomp, it was rarely comfortable . I remember a couple of 3-1s. That's about it. |

Newcastle 5-0, October 1996 Chelsea 5-0, October 1999 City 1-6, October 2011 Now I know it's irrational, different manager, different team, no logical correlation at all, but... Solid start to the season, Liverpool at Anfield, first proper test, they'll come at us like screaming banshees... Not seeing my arse but the buttock muscles are twitching a bit. Edit: Chelsea 4-0, October last season. £#%&! |

As for last season we were hardly flying before the 4-0 at Chelsea. |

I'm not worried about the wheels coming off in the coming weeks, I'm more concerned with how we react if we're narrowly edged out in games. Our confidence looks good, but has been notoriously brittle over the last couple of years. Jose said it himself early on: itll be interesting to see how we react when we go behind. We've only been behind once and it resulted in our only dropped points so far. |

As great as he's been so far, I think the Anfield game is going to be when we'll see the maximum value of Matic's ability to break up attacks, protect the back four and play a safe pass out from the back third to a United shirt.
Think he'll be absolutely critical for that match and at the Bridge, Wembley and the Etihad. |
