Bit concerned now. Would not have started Welbeck, oxo or nacho, would have preferred especially giroud starting, as well as Ramsay and Gibbs.
What air of arrogance? sorry I must have missed that in the posts stating the team, and commenting on who should be upfront...
Just in general. Not a case of claiming a guaranteed victory but far more confident than in recent years. Confidence would have been a better choice of word.
Confidence would have been a much better word - but even then there's plenty of comment about our bad record, your habit of scoring lucky goals, last minute goals and pens against us. And our habit of blowing good chances.
Its usually because you set up the same every time and we set up to counter you. Really basic stuff. Rather you win tonight than in 2 months though. If you do win them I fully expect us to win the league game.
Nope. We might go wide though which is why Fellaini plays. Rooney is good with his head but hes not a target man for wing play. Herrera and Blind mean a possession based game with some variety.
Rooney operates too deep for his heading to used as a weapon, unless it's from set pieces. But I think there's a difference between playing across the middle third, unable to penetrate, until you start launching it onto Fellaini's head, and possession football.
Blind is so slow. We should target him, get Welbeck and Sanchez closing him down at every opportunity.
Oh come on! A yellow card already? If that's a yellow, every player is gonna get carded in this game.
