Happy with the point, but I keep on thinking that we should have focused on defending instead of attacking United. We were so desperate to score another when we were in the lead. To use your boxing analogy, a win on points would have been enough, but we wanted to go for the knockout. We only got two 1-0 wins this season: EFL final vs Chelsea and vs Forest (both last minute). Learning to stay calm when we got a narrow lead will help our title charge.
Without being too harsh on the players, Klopp and Ljinders can have no blame on this side playing 3 against this United side and not coming out with a win in any of them. I don’t know what Ten Hag is saying to his players before the games against Klopp but clearly it’s working. It’s no coincidence City go there and beat them 3-0, Bournemouth beat them, and even Palace beat them. Let’s have it real they’re shite🤣 but yeah frustrating one, clearly the attackers need some more sharpness. Hopefully to come
Don’t know if I preferred it when we use to be utd’s bogey team and always beat them, unfortunately beating them though wasn’t enough to stop them going on to win all them poxy titles they got. This season I fear they’ve done enough to put a spanner in the works for pool & it’ll cost us the title.
I think all 3 sides will drop a couple more points though losing another title to Arsenal on goal difference would be an absolute killer.
Let’s see if they take their frustration out on Atalanta or Palace. A good 4 or 5-0 win is needed as a palette cleanser after last weekend. Salah needs to shake off the rust & go on a blitz for the rest of the season
Old Trafford is such a funny one. History tells you Man Utd are our Darth Vader. But when you now get so many chances, so regularly, it’s as if the players get complacent - after all, another chance is just around the corner. Before you know it, you’re chasing on a pitch that seems to get bigger by the minute.
Based on how Arsenal play, they will rock up there and do what they do best - avoid being counter attacked and find a way to score a few goals. Nullifying that counter against United (which is where the chaos is from) is the key to victory and we have failed to do it in every game we played this season against them.
Granted, they scored a worldie and a gift from Quansah to get their ‘win’ yesterday. So disappointing…
As you hear the likes of Neville & Carra say time and time again. It's baffling to see how they play. I'm sure one of them said you don't even do this at school level. ETH isn't an idiot, he has a UEFA Pro Licence ect, so he clearly knows his stuff. Surely? 😂
Which makes me think he's doing this deliberately. I have been trying to think of why and the only thing that comes to mind is that he agrees with a couple of things you have consistently said. Your only as good as your players and the need to be better in both boxes then your opposition.
Maybe he agrees and wants to exadurate the differences between performances in both boxes by playing this ultra transitional football. He knows his defence is crap and is trying to give his attackers the best chance of out-scoring teams. Which is how a lot of his games seem to play out in the end.
As per many folks who know lots more about hall than me, top 3 WERE/ARE going to lose points in the run in, let’s hope this was our sticky wicket. Hurts like hell though. This randomness wtf. Thank you Josh

Brilliant read once again mate.

Or is he just shit? Who knows anymore 😂
