    Spot on with the AWB incident, looked like a blatant foul , I think the ref had a decent game though which was a surprise to me

    I thought Utd pressed the midfield very effectively in the first half.
    They overdid it though and ran out of steam.
    The triple change on 66 minutes didn't address it and add legs in the middle, bizarrely.
    Eriksen's still a fantastic player, but he's never been that type.

    Apologies for the migraines, because for some reason Man Utd's network has been factored into ours so it's an utter mess to look at, but it's pass network time

    Definitely a few adjustments compared to last week, most obviously Vicario has four players keeping him company in our half which wasn't the case with Brentford, and the front three are more level whereas against Brentford Sonny pushed up too high while Richy sat too deep

    There's also very different patterns of playing out from the back, as Vicario is playing it to both Romero and van de Ven, but what sticks out is the next phase as Micky is playing it to Bissouma while Cuti is playing it to Maddison, so there's more than one out ball for the CBs to play it out from the back into midfield

    Trying to glean anything else, though, it a recipe for bleeding eyeballs so I'll give it a miss...

    Maddison to have a scan.

    Just when we start to enjoy things, football reminds us we can’t.

    I haven't seen him play apart from briefly in the FA Cup. That's good news because they are hard to come by.

    Weren’t there concerns about his injury record when we signed him? And he lasted 2 games!

    Devine is possible but miracles take a bit longer.

    After last season, it’s so nice not being the recipient of one of these and instead actually being the cause of one now!

    I don’t think he’s that injury prone to be fair, plus in his defence on this it would’ve been an impact injury instead of a muscle one, if your foot gets clattered and bruised/ broken there’s nothing you can really do about that, injury prone or not.

    Hopefully it's like buying a 3 year old car, most issues have been sorted and it will be another 3 years before you have to worry too much when it goes in for a service.
    Maddison's major injuries have been hip issues and the last one was over a year ago.:emoticon-0165-muscl
