    I'm just stating facts, people forget the utter brilliance we do show at times on the counter with some superbly trained moves. Granted they don't happen as frequently as I'd like due to low block tactical setups from opponents but still, we do have a counter-attacking style that is so damn good when it comes off. Also, you resorted to using another sport to validate your opinion which is utterly ridiculous. How about we compare fishing to football, or snooker while I'm at it? :lol: :lol:
    How daft are you...elite NBA players play 82 games from october to apríl...plus playoff games for the teams reaching that...this bullshit about top football players being to tired to play well has to stop...they have around 25 players per squad and all the sicentific knowledge needed to be able to perform during a season...

    Was this performance that much different to Fulham and Burnley away where two individual bits of brilliance from Pogba won us those games out of nothing? Winning games is a remarkable technique to mask serious deficiencies.

    When we do draw this game, Ole's going to be like "Well were still in second so thats a positive".
    Yeah he needs to stop taking that place for granted because Liverpool, Chelsea & West Ham are sniffing an opportunity

    Were at the point now where Ole is scared to take risks to protect the record it seems. you see how happy he was at the final whistle?
    True. To be fair to Ole he's always been a 'smiley' character. I've rarely seen him look upset. You definitely want to see him looking annoyed after that performance.

    Our form since the turn of the year is annoying, not least because our fixture list has been kind. He does seem to be more conservative, but with the midfield we have it's hard to see us creating much. We'll see how his conservatism works out on Sunday.

    If United scored one goal from a shot that deflected off the referee the average player rating on the cafe would two points higher.

    If United plays this same formation on Sunday they will be utterly dominated in midfield.

    If a number of these players are 'tired' why is the first substitution made in the 75th minute and not 10-15 minutes earlier and then only to use two instead of three?

    Not the first time and won’t be the last time we have failed to get going. Sloppy passing and decision making. Palace always make it hard to play against them but we were woeful. Didn’t seem any inspiration on or off the field as we jogged to a bore draw. I don’t hold out much hope for the away trip to the Emptyhad.
