One can only assume Woodward gave the half time team talk today. Pleased for you.

Well we aren't scoring quite as many goals in the last few games, that's undeniable. I am happy with how OGS is doing despite that, further tests to come.

The last two before today were tougher than the ones before.

not at our best today, but title winning sides have had games where they've won by only narrowly managing to beat shite and not been at their best. we had plenty of games like that in fergie's last season, for example. we can't just blitz every team every week, that's not how football works. and as we all knew, our defence were never going to lose their collective #@&%!ation just because jose went.

but still, five consecutive league wins on the bounce though, six altogether. the phoenix continues to rise.

I'll leave it there because i'm eating a lovely NY Deli style sandwich and it's delicious.

Like you insisted spurs would last week?....

Arsenal beating us changes absolutely nothing about any points I've made.

We may well lose there. It's a tough fixture.

Enjoy your Sarnie

It's not a lovely one, everyone else's is better, everyone else is enjoying theirs more and yours is going to give you the shits.

1-0 and 2-1 is something I can take at this stage of the season.

Thought we waited too long to make changes today. We lost the grip on the game second half.

Bin Lukaku off and get a couple of good options in the final third, we need more if we want to press teams with intensity. Same can be said for the midfield.

Not a clue mate

The joy thieves are always going to moan and £#%&!ing moan then moan some more

TBH if seven on the bounce can't put a smile on your face without defaulting to bellyaching and sniping then wtf ? .

We lack options in there when we need to change it up.

I like the set up of those front six, but we play with so much intensity early on now, that it would be nice to have some good back up to rely on.

Unfortunately; Fred, Mata and Lukkau just don't do enough when they come on.

Lukaku is so shit at holding the ball up for his size. Be nice to think our massive 6ft 2inch centre forward could maybe take the pressure off our defence when he comes on.

bringing mata on didn't make any sense. none. at. all.

Imagine being so gutted when your team wins 🤣🤣🤣

They just don't suit that style of play either, tho Fred may adapt. Good to have different options, but they are so different you arent likely to be able to replicate what you are trying to do as a side.

who's gutted? name mames.

we didn't play well, that's all. if we'd played this badly all season, we'd be top three.

Wasn’t brilliant but £#%&! me, after the last five years winning 7 on the bounce is nothing to complain about.

Sparky back at his best, predicting united losses.

smacked of just trying to keep him happy, he clearly has no place in the side the way we're now set up

needs to move on in the summer along with lukaku, fellaini, The Scottish Player, rojo and darmian.
