They weren't that good. We aren't that bad.

MOTM Pogba for the goal line clearance.

Mourinho is one of the few people in football I really dislike.

Get Sturridge up front and we will finish top half. :-)

A win against Palace would be huge now.

I'd suggest it would always be huge, regardless of today.

I'll be interested to see what team Roy selects tomorrow, particularly given that they have a day less than us to recover. The Hughes or Rafa approach in the past few days would be to rest players, and effectively give City the three points before KO. Big Sam would traditionally do the same too. Whereas someone like MP, has tried to go strong against the big boys these past few weeks - with moderate success. But then has been weakened when playing the lesser teams, with points dropped.

Yeah but a win there on top of an unlikely point at Old Trafford and we'd be ballin under MP.

Good point and for much of the game we were at least a match for them. I admit that United were very wasteful and I can’t really give us too much credit for that but we did - finally- show a desire to press up the pitch.
Worried that an easy day for a new keeper will put undue pressure on him should he make a mistake, and he surely will, at some point.
I guess that Long playing indicates he may not be off imminently? Who knows? And if Pellegrino decides to put Forster back in, will he instantly become incompetent? Tune in next week for, “I ****ing told you he doesn’t know what he’s doing!” on a message board near you.:) “Old Trafford? He got lucky!”
