Whilst it can be seen as 2 points dropped I think if you said to anyone prior to the game that we would be 2-0 down after half an hour they wouldn't be surprised as such conceding 2 goals in any half hour against MU isn't out of the ordinary. We have seen us blow leads several times this season including a 2-0 lead v Southampton. We've conceded 12 goals in 3 matches against Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth (being in front in 2 of those games) so we all knew that the likelihood would be that we'd concede at Old Trafford, regardless of what the score might be at any point in the match.
With regard to tactics I would imagine we'd make a few more subtle changes by Sunday. There weren't going to be wholesale changes between Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening, chances are the player would have only really had a proper training session on Sunday as usually you wouldn't do a training session the day after a game or on the day of a game.
Skubala and the other guy as well as the players will likely have the chance now to discuss it all together now for a couple of days and decide how they want to play this Sunday and then have training sessions on Friday and Saturday to try to work on those changes. AGain unlikely to be huge changes in the way we play but more likely a bit more planning to the pressing etc that just the chasing of the ball we have become accustomed to. Likely to work on defensvie shape a bit more and my hope still is for someone to play a deep defensive midfield role.
The point moved us up a place in the league and could be crucial. Every match that we can kep ourselves out of the relegation places puts us one step closer to safety and more importantly keeps our destiny in our own hands.
I'm hoping they did this prior to last night and hope they do again prior to Sunday.
Twas interesting last night how we caught Ten Bob out by not doing what he was expecting, and more interesting than that was what was he actually expecting, what was it ?
He expected a Jesse set up, or at least had planned for that, and instead of being dragged out of shape playground chasing, pack hunting we didn't play into his hands, our performance was nowt special football wise, but it was a fantastic team effort considering.
I'm hoping i'm right in agreeing with ya that we might just have enough talent for someone to come and steer us, we are rudderless atm, but it's obviously to be expected, we're winging it anyway with this twat Orta as far as i'm concerned, so i might be tempted to wing it with Skubs until we find the right guy and don't go scraping the barrel.
Let us all just sit back and think about this appointment of Jesse in the first place huh, htf did he come to be here, i knew jack about him, but we've got Yanks here that don't want to touch him with a bargepole for their mens team, so wtf was Orta trying ? How does he come to the conclusion this guy is good enough for the Prem ?
And most importantly at all, is it right he thought transiting from Bert to Jesse would be a piece of cake via Yankball, coz the man's fcking deluded if so, and again i repeat...WHAT FCKING SCOUTING DID HE DO OF HIS PREVIOUS FOOTBALL MATCHES !!!
AND IF HE TURNS AROUND AND SAYS " I DID LOADS".....THEN FCK OFF COZ YOU'RE A FCKING MORON THAT COULDN'T HAVE GOT IT MORE WRONG YOU FCKING PRICK!
Anddddddddddd relax.
