Sissoko been one of our better outlets I think.

Not sure what putting on a static big man is gonna do. United are too well drilled to be undone by crossing, and strong enough to nullify old fashioned hold up play
Mate, they are drilled at any attacking strategy.
That doesn't mean that you should chose the weakest one. What they are, is that they are completely removing our lone striker from the game. You must want to score so badly that you dare to take a risk vs. this team. And with the present players on the bench, Llorente is your best shot. Far better than playing the game plan they want us to play.

Fairly happy so far. If this end a draw that is fine, but we look the better side at Old Trafford.

Hopefully we sneak something on a set piece.

From memory, i always thought his Chelsea side played pretty good football, however since he has been at Yanited i truly think he's frightened to death of losing a game.

In the first couple of years they did, but he's become more conservative the longer he's been managing.

He looks to me likes he's lost a bit of passion for the game tbh.

Our problem is we got no one up front..Erikson is not having a good game because surprising he is the one bursting up from midfield..Ali needs to do that but Ali is in lala land...not sure what he is doing...

We started playing better once Son got more into the game but he is getting no support
I don't agree about Dele. They are being a really effective group in the middle. Breaking up play as well as getting forward. We look by far the most dangerous team but without Kane we don't have that forward pass.

I would put Dembele on for Eriksen and possibly Llorente on for Son, both have been poor. As for Moss he has to be the laziest and unfit Ref in the league, he has to guess most of his decisions because he hardly leaves the centre circle unless a corner is being taken useless twat

Sissoko off is a must - Eriksen needs taking to one side and his arse kicking, other than we should take a minimum of a point home.

Dembele on for sissoko I think. Sissoko is being given all the space because they aren’t worried about him on the ball

Should free up some space for eriksen

I don't think they will get back to their swash buckling style that they were under Fergie, but Jose sets up his team to play like fucking West Brom week in week out.

proud of how we have played so far, only change would be llorente for sissoko. So Son can have a good focal point to run off of. Moving Alli backwards into midfield where there is more space that sissoko is wasting.

Playing quite well without really offering any threat. Hate to say it but this has 1-0 united written all over it
