Ref did everything he could to give United that but we showed great character in the second half.

Hopefully the start of a run.

Not a coincidence that we have Welbeck and Veltman consistently back in the side that we start picking up wins again.

Welbs is great for us, but missed most of the game against dipswitch.

Jack and Ferdi would help too. Without any of Velts, Jack and Ferdi we don't have enough fight in the team.

All the comments were about how poor Man Utd were. No appreciation that there were two teams on the pitch.
It's quite surprising how rubbish some teams are when we beat them? Spurs, Man City, Man United (twice). Almost like there is a reason*


* having said that, United were rubbish... 😁

He did, they were constantly cheating, hassling officials and got every half decision.

You really could feel that you were up against institutional bias

Overall we were very good today.

Ok, the conceded goal is a bit blunderish but the Manchester player stealing that pass to Ayari had excellent timing in his run, its more a case of good pressure from United than a big mistake from us. Luckily they only do good things on the pitch a handful of times per game so wasn't end of the world.

Best thing today might be the boost in confidence for Mitoma and Minteh. Our wings haven't produced the amount of goals and assists they should have this season but this could be a real boost to them.
Nah.

Bart regularly plays the ball into midfield and we lose it. It has to stop.

Mitoma still hasn't taken a player on down the outside since his injuries. He either plays back or crosses it. Good game today but not as good as he was.

Brilliant day out at OT.. btw, don’t know if anyone else has mentioned but Enciso stayed until the very end to clap the fans, looked like a farewell

Well if he's going out on loan, that's a nice thing before he goes. Hopefully he'll then come back even better.

I really hope it wasn’t.
