Yup, he’s absolute class. Unlike that hysterical lunatic in the Arsenal dugout.

yes, but you were complaining about The Scottish Player being shite. he is shite. that's why we need more midfielders. cass can't fix us, if he's not playing. and we don't have cover for him (or a dm partner, tbh).

I personally think it’s time to bring back sancho for this weird hiatus, even at his worst he was about antonys current level!

How a man responds to a defeat.

Compare and contrast with the @#%&! Guardiola chucking his toys out of the pram last weekend.

don’t know about that

Anthony might not have the end product at the moment but he never hides or goes missing

sometimes you never knew Sancho was playing

Exactly. Always talking in terms of what we can do to improve.

Oddly not that arsed the morning after. Played well until the last 20 when legs started to go (and a very limited bench to help with that) and lost to a late, scrappy goal. And at least conceding late will piss off the blue @#%&!s.

Imagine what Erik will do once he gets a proper squad to play with

Imagine if we'd had won and at the end of the season, City took the title by one point.

Obviously, we all want us to win it, but a little bit of realism goes a long way in such situations. United are back, no matter what the final score was yesterday.

So marlo was at the emirates yesterday. Well I’ll be…….

Not pissed off but still disappointed. Should easily be back home with a point, possibly three with a push. Ah well.

we should be 5 points closer to Arsenal than we are.

Ifs and buts. If zaha scored at the end of palace we would have one point less .

We are a work in progress. The palace game feels worse now but not alot you can do. They will improve. At the very least and probably looking for positives in the furthest of regions, the shit@#%&!s won’t mask their abilities and we will still sign that CM RB and ST.

AWB was looking good but probably shows why he will never be a first team footballer for this team. Great as a cover though. The Scottish Players game drops every time he plays. I think his head is already at another club and Fred has shown at his best he is a squad player.

It is frustrating. I don't think anyone is pissed off but league titles are won/lost on these margins.

We can't afford to be so reliant on one midfielder to boss our games and a striker to score our goals.

Any team is going to suffer without, literally, the best DM in the world.

Eriksen's game is also far less effective without the big man in midfield.

Of course it is. We are Man Utd. We should never leave a game we have lost not frustrated.

I think the thing to remember is we have a fantastic manager who has improved so many players in 6 months. We are so far away of what he can do and what we can become.

Combine that with new owners maybe ratcliffe or whoever and the future is bright.

ETH has in reality one window and has gotten us 3rd. Probably where we belong as of this moment. Arsenal are on fire and city have the depth. I don’t think Arsenal will win the league but they’ll go far.

This!

We had our best player (most people voted for him) missing. Take out odegaard from Arsenal and they’ll do £#%&! all. Everything came through him.

We had Nicky Butt when Keane wasn't available.
