Six points from those two games .............................. stunning, absolutely stunning.

Utd will alter that today

As I was saying

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well deserved the win

 

[Red devil]

Jesus still complaining his head got scratched. Grow up!

I know. Biggest whingers going

Didn’t Arsenal lose to Villa ? Why is he talking about not losing since Liverpool match in September?

Did he mean at home?

I’d have been happy with a point from six and two steady performances. Six points and those two performances is beyond belief.

What an astonishing turnaround.

Great game for the neutral, only 2 weeks since I was asking what was going on at OT as it looked like a circus.

Maybe the players have bought in to giving Carrick some backing.

Looking forward to Arteta's presser.

 

[Swango1980]

What a beautiful evening.

This has happened more than once against Forest this season and totally ignored as well

Ave discussed this since the beginning of the season and one of the worst is Bernado Silva. However no one really replied as it had never happened to there team. Now half the season is gone and it’s happening every week. Folk have taken notice.
It’s very very naughty.

Nah. They lost yesterday

 

[Red devil]

What the hell?!

Was Amorim doing all this time?!

Bringing on defenders when we need a goal

 

[PaulMdj]

Poor season? Nah, anything but.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Looking forward to Arteta's presser.

He is looking for his light bulb

 

[Swango1980]

And if he gets 6, he'll get a 20 year contract, £50 million annual salary

If the board saw this msg I posted before the City game, I hope they realise I was joking about the financials

If it's as simple as that then they should hang their heads. I know it happens but they're paid professionals and fans pay a lot of money to watch them. It should always be 100% effort. That's in my little dream world though!

Sensational start for United under Carrick. Even the most delusional fan (me) never saw that return from his first two games. But it’s the performances as much as the results.

And I am very, very happy to have tickets for the next two home games.

Roll on next Sunday.

Watching Utd, Carrick has kept it very very simple. When defending five at the back with four in front. It stops the modern day wing backs and wingers. Then hit on the break. Arsenal started very well but defensively Utd were solid. Bearing in mind one of the Arsenal goals was an OG. And the other was as scruffy as you will see. It was a solid performance
Utd have more than enough footballing ability to see out that game.
It really does beg the question, what was Amorim playing at.

I won't get too hasty. Often our best performances have been against the better sides. Then we have been a bit clueless against the teams that do to us what we have done to City and Arsenal.

But having Maguire and Martinez in defence, Mbeumo and Amad back from AFCON and Dorgu transforming from Phil Jones to Gareth Bale have really helped

I thought it was a 4-5-1 set up with Amad and Dorgu helping the full backs.

United were the better side, Tash, no doubt about it. The first 20 minutes was an uncomfortable watch, but as soon as we equalised you could see the confidence flow through them.

Had Arsenal snatched a win it would have been a travesty, as they created very, very little.
