Imagine trying to point out a lack of balance in someone's post then ignoring there being 6 weeks without a game in your "tight defence" run.Not quite as simple as that. If you take out the drubbing we got at Highbury, we’ve conceded 4 goals since 10 October. Since we switched to a 433 formation we’re pretty solid at the back.
Is there anyone on here not aware that there was a Winter break and why? Some things I just assumed didn’t need to be said?Imagine trying to point out a lack of balance in someone's post then ignoring there being 6 weeks without a game in your "tight defence" run.
Well... the thing is we have been scoring most of our goals this season through quick one touch passing in the box or hitting teams on the break. Crossing is less of our thing this season, especially when CR7 isn't playing and he isn't going to be anymore.We are a lot better then people think, 3 goals conceded in November - clean sheets against Spurs, Palace and Liverpool. There is definitely a mistake in us and Worrall is prone to them (Garnacho against Worrall is frightening) but our tactic seems to be pack the centre, force attackers out wide and deal with the crosses into the box. The thing I’d worry about is an early goal conceded and be forced to chase the game - Then we could get a mauling. If we are on level terms at half time, I think we could nick it.
Awesome! Enjoy mate, cannot wait to do that with my son one day.On a coach from London for the game. First game my son and I will be watching together at Old Trafford! We are both so excited. Hope we score a few today.
Martinez isn't even back in ManchesterIf they're fit, no excuse for Varane and Martinez not to be in this. Martinez didn't even play in the final FFS.
Thanks! Hope for that for you too - nothing like it. Big traffic jams on the M6 but we are good for time still.Awesome! Enjoy mate, cannot wait to do that with my son one day.
Qualified that. Not even sure you can call it statistically significant. Out of the Top 10 only Chelsea have scored less than us.Well... the thing is we have been scoring most of our few goals this season through quick one touch passing in the box or hitting teams on the break.

Good old Ole’s days baby ! Rock solid ! Play out of the back FC.AWB-Lindelof-Maguire-Shaw scares me. Hopefully we get it done today. Is Casemiro playing?
Scotty and Fred subbed on at half time to defend our 1-0 lead, we live for this!Good old Ole’s days baby ! Rock solid ! Play out of the back FC.
Need to get him added to lineup prediction4-1 win, Betinho with a hat-trick
Yes result over performance with so many first choice defenders out.You'd expect a defence without Dalot, Varane and Martinez to be shaky so to get 3 points is most important, performance not as much.

Confirmed? Maguire sick?Varane straight back into the starting XI is great news

It's a strange stat to quote though, bearing in mind the vast majority of that time (since oct 10) you've had no games.Is there anyone on here not aware that there was a Winter break and why? Some things I just assumed didn’t need to be said?
Think Maguire might be poorly or something. Didn’t think Varane would be rushed back though. Casemiro at CB again might work as he did a good job last time.Confirmed? Maguire sick?
The new Danny Welbecklingard nailed on to score and dance as we lose 1-0, huh?
You know Coops is going to quote the Lingard thread on here as part of the pre-match team talk? All those warm words and hearfelt love and affection……He's going to have the game of his life today, isn't he?
Edit: thought i was in the Lingard thread.
4 conceded in 6, over the last 7 matches we’re 9th in the form table. Why the issue - everyone is in the same boat - stats don’t suddenly become null and void because of the WC break?It's a strange stat to quote though, bearing in mind the vast majority of that time (since oct 10) you've had no games.

Probably still pissed.Varane played 120 minutes of the final and is now back in the starting XI. Is Licha who didn’t play a single minute still celebrating back home? 
I mean , one of the won a WC and one lost it....Varane played 120 minutes of the final and is now back in the starting XI. Is Licha who didn’t play a single minute still celebrating back home?
I would be amazed if Varane is back in the 11 already, but it must be either that or Casemiro still in the back four.Tweet

Maguire over Lindelof and Malacia at rb.I would be amazed if Varane is back in the 11 already, but it must be either that or Casemiro still in the back four.
Or they’re just fishing for retweets and it’s something dumb like Malacia at right back, which should surprise no one.
Who?4-1 win, Betinho with a hat-trick
