    A defensive line-up to cope with the threat of Downing. Makes sense.

    Dreadful line up.

    I'd be surprised if we got anything better than a draw.

    JM wasn't joking. When did we put out a side in the premiership much weaker than anything we've put out in the cups?

    Seriously. Why not play Fonsu-Mensah and push Valencia up as a proper RW? We then don't need Fellony.

    And why not play Martial in this instead of Young?

    Does he understand we NEED to be winning games when our rivals drop points????

    You're playing well in fairness albeit against as bad a team as you can find at this level. Valdes made a couple of good saves.

    Fellaini even just scored. They're that bad.

    Someone wearing a wig has just scored, or am I still drunk?

    We've been shocking since we scored.

    We're looking scared <laugh>

    We are going to bottle this watch. Our only saviour will be Boro's terrible finishing.

    Someone tell Rashford not to expect any of our players in the box. This is Boro we're playing. We need as many players in our own half as possible.

    Rashford again on the break. Confused by seeing two other United players with him this time. That wasnt part of the game plan after taking the lead.

    Rashford has the defender in his pocket. He just needs more confidence and should score more.

    United need to be more confident too as they seem hesitant to get forward.

    Played well before the goal. Mourinho puckered up after the goal though. Protect the 1-0, he must really have no belief in his players.

    Rashford seems to lack confidence with his final ball, should be doing better on a few occasions over the last couple of games.

    Can't see Jose playing him much next season if he doesn't improve. Shame really, but Jose likes the ready made player.


    (watch him score now <grr>)
