United should have enough to win this. We gave away a stupid goal. Smalling's clearance was poor in the first place and as a result the ball came back in and he eventually gave away the corner. Then Darmian's positioning for the ball in was poor. Then Blind glances the ball. Just poor defending all round.
Gutted for the lad. He's been superb this season. Massive miss for us, hopefully only for a few months. I agree with Hargreaves and Scholes, it was a reckless tackle.
We will certainly miss Shaw's explosive pace. Could see it almost instantly down the left when Blind went to over lap when the game restarted, like a snail Hope van gaals not tempted to take Martial off early in the second half as I think he's done well. Caused a few problems and its great to see him, and Memphis running at defenders, taking them on.
Wow. There's an advert for NFL players to call for compo. One of those accident claim type things. Payouts of up to $5m haha. Imagine one for PL players
Well Atleast Shaws got a 100k a week contract for the next few years. That should set him up for life, regardless of wether he can play again.
We decide on playing with some urgency after going behind. We decide to actually look for the forward pass after going behind.
The trouble with passing sideways and back for 60 mins is, when you then need to start looking for passes forward you can't.
We should have won this inside 60 mins if we actually played like this earlier. Now we're having to attack a compact and well organised defence that is 2-1 up. And on comes Fellaini.
