That’s when Pep goes all touchy face in interviews, pretending he doesn’t speak English and it’s all over.

And as some others have said that is where Utd could have the advantage. Winter, poor pitches, Mourinho will happily play long to Lukaku and Fellaini and look to bully the camping teams out of it. Those are the months when City have been falling away recently, have generally made fast starts.
