Am I the only one that feels a bit angry and disappointed after a relatively easy 4-0 away win? Thought we were very complacent and, dare I say it, arrogantly disinterested in the second half! Goal difference could be a massive factor at the end of the season considering the way City, Chelsea and Utd are banging them in and we've just squandered a great chance to really boost our goal difference, could've hit double figures today with the right application and desire. Anyway, rant over, just frustrated that we don't truly punish teams when we have the chance.

COYS

One of our problems in the last couple of seasons, was we tired a bit in the second half of the season due to pressing hard every game. Poch has said reputedly we need to learn when to press and when not to in order to conserve energy. 3-0 up against Huddersfield is the perfect opportunity to do just that. Don't forget some of these players will be playing 50+ games this season with any luck.

Gary Neville just gushed. Best stadium next year, three of the best staying, true contenders and not one mention of wages. He loves us.

Yep. Our in-game management is what probably held us back last season and was evident against Chelsea. I feel that if we improve that then we will start to win stuff.

He has said he see's so much in us and Poch that reminds him of his early days at United.

Yeah, and? A properly ruthless team of winners would've smashed that Huddersfield team into the middle of next month, we let them off the hook!
You're talking rubbish; and I'm not surprised by the usual suspects who agree with you. Your idea as to what constitutes "smashing" is at the level of Richard Keys.

We are always going to have spells where we drop in tempo or start misplacing a few passes - we did it last season too. But what this team is able to do is either kill a game early, like today, or raise the tempo again and win the game, like Swansea away last season. We don't have to be at our best for 90 mins, we just need to be at our best in the important moments and remain committed when it's not happening for us.

And after a trip to Cyprus in midweek. No complaints from me.

Neville absolutely gushing about us on Sky

His favourite team to watch for the last two seasons :love:

He really does, it's brilliant to see someone who is a diehard Man Utd superfan clearly have such a soft spot for us, purely because we're doing the right things on the football field.

On and off the field. And we are still missing 4 arguably first 11 players.
