I'd say get massively stuck into them from the off. You can see they are still trying to get up to speed with playing from the back De Gea doesn't look comfortable at all with it and neither do the back line so I say try and give them the Brentford treatment.
They really are as well. I don’t think they’re out of the woods yet and we really are playing the type of football they don’t like. Not that we’re perfecting it. We can start a bit slow but will be interesting to see what happens when we face opposition who can’t just sit deep.
Not many teams in the league are able to press as well as us currently hence they get away with it often. I think they suit us to play against. Only thing is we will have to watch out on the break.
Three points in this one would be amazing but a point would be a good result. Think we may spring a surprise and grind out a 2-1 win. Some interesting fixtures for those around us this week as the league takes shape now with Bournemouth and Fulham playing each other (D), Liverpool playing City (L) and Everton and West Ham having Spurs (L) and Southampton (D) respectively. We could end the weekend finding ourselves 4 points clear of 8th after 10 games with a win on Sunday and other results go our way, which would have been unthinkable 12 months ago!
To be fair I'm still adamant top 10 and a decent cup run would be a successful season and will do this year but slowly slipping into dreamland!
Dubravka made the bench today!... Possibly for the first time! What an inspired move, goes from where he can fight to be in the first time, to where he has to fight to stand a slim chance of being on the bench. Man U team pretty strong today so hopefully knackered come Saturday.
