WTF is happening? I will give full credit for the first 30 minutes they worked and worked and we played brilliantly. Take that portion of the game out and we've been dire. Looking so shaky, clueless as if after they scored we realised on **** we have no hope so let's defend the draw. ****ing shocking!
 
Oh, Ronald... you got this so wrong.

Did he though? We started excellently and the team looked solid (until they were called on to defend). The first goal was offside. The players heads seemed to go down. Second goal was entirely a situation of our own making, but not to do with the manager. Then our heads have really gone down.

Not sure how too much of that is Ron's fault, though? He didn't ask us to play ridiculous backpasses in order to play ourselves into danger.

Sorry if I'm misinterpreting your comment, mind.

He changed the shape of the team which has mad it far far easier for United.

Playing against a midfield of Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger and we're backing off, strolling about and allowing them to spray the ball.

Poor, really.
 
So, the cup tie. Go with a strong team and hope to build momentum, or prioritize the home match against Swansea that suddenly looks like one we need badly to win?
 
It really is like somebody at 30 minutes on the bench got word that there are snipers aiming at the pitch and if we win they all die because it really is like we're scared to play against them.
