    Obertan is just standing around doing nowt most of the time, not looking to make runs in behind the defenders at all and its pissing me off. Get Perez out there and bring Aarons on. Well chuffed with half time score given the first 10 mins we had :)

    I think everyone did pretty well in the end. It's no suprise Man U come out fast. I think you can really tell we have a more leadership around the team between Wij &
    Colback (although I don't think he played great) they sorted out the problems we were having in midfield.

    Good first half. Everyone is playing well, still don't trust obertan but on the counter he may get a cross in. Glad perez is back in the team too.

    Played our way into that ..first 20 mins looked like my 4-1 tonking was on the cards

    Perez adds so much more to the team ..works his socks off plus that little extra quality.

    Time for Aarons soon..as Obertan not adding a lot ..keeps slowing everything down

    Wij is class, Mito...always good to have a nutter on the pitch

    Time for Aaron's instead of Obertan?

    I think everyone has been at least ok, including Obertan.

    Colback has made a couple of errors but has also been a beast in the last quarter of the pitch. Wiji has been immense and I like the look of his combination with Mitro. Perrez has been great and we look so much more mobile with him in the team.

    Long way to go though. We're doing great holding on, but I still fear what might hapen if/when we fall behind. Still, this has gone so much better than I feared so far!

    Sorry GLITF. I was going to hold back and not say anything, but then I wasn't sure I'd get another chance to say that this season <laugh>

    Obertan seems to be our weak point. I agree that a swap with Aarons may be a good idea.
    Midfield look like they're getting to grips with Man U.

    It's all about balls in the net - we're in it!

    Listen, I've done my bit. I made Rooney my Fantasy team captain which means he wont score. I sold Mitro which means he will score. What more can I do???

    Agree. Wiji and Perez move well to creste space. They must find it frustrating to see Obertron pinned to the same piece of turf all match. Time for Aarons.

    What a player Perez is. Very comfortable playing deeper. He's all over the pitch.

    Mitrovic is working hard but he shouldn't have to come back and defend on the wing.

    We're getting raped down this left side again.

    Edit - right side.

    Supposing we nick a point today. I don't think our start will look too bad. 3 tough tough games, 2 points..I'd take it if offered before.

    Get obertan off. Aarons could win this. Haidara and Colback have still managed to have poor games in a good team performance. Haidara done better as game went on, but Colback a bit of a liability in possession today.
