8th highest scorers in the league

No we didn't. Our goalkeeper made no proper saves.

Couldn't keep the ball though against ten men inviting pressure on. Weathered it though and comfortable in the 8 added mins

 

[The Bear]

Cunha onto 10 goals so he joins the very select band of players to do that more than once for us in the Premier League. Just him, Raul and Steven Fletcher.

Goal or assist in each of his last 10 games too. Amazing consistency, which comes from how hard he works out there to be involved in everything.

I fucking loved that Doyle tackle for the second

A PPG probably keeps us up this year. Just pls pls for the first time in a long time have a good transfer window.

But you were fine with all that panicky shit under a season and a half of GON

Kudos to the ref - I almost thought he slightly favoured us - there have been many times a player did what Bruno did and didn’t get one yellow, let alone two.

 

[The Bear]

It wasn't panicky tonight it was just Man Utd pushing forwards with more bodies and winning the ball back higher. We still defended well from those positions, and Maguire's header was all that came of it.

Obviously the extra man helped but we played really well in that 2nd half. Completely different game management to when Gaz was in charge. Still a very nervy last 20 minutes though!

Cunha is magnificent. Best player on the pitch by some distance.

UP THE FUCKIN’ WOLVES

Absolutely.

If we'd played Hartlepool and been 1-0 up they'd have lumped a load of long ball crap into the box too. Probably with the same result.

We really weren't hanging on.

Isn't it amazing how much better the defence and keeper look with some organisation!?

Just standard football nerves innit. You convince yourself things are 20 times worse than they are.

Watch it back without the stress levels and you think "yep, handled that well"

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Doc is the ball playing CB we never knew we had!

 

[Jinky]

We’re gonna miss Cunha.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

Brilliant, Brilliant, fantastic.

Toti was superb defending, but times when we needed some composure he panicked.

Just sloppy in there box at 1-0, We had chances with 1 decent Ball, we would have scored another 2

Not at all. No difference. Fine margins. If Antony's shot goes in, or Maguire scores from a corner it's a completely different story.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Doc is the ball playing CB we never knew we had!

He was genuinely very very good. As he was at Leicester once he stopped randomly booting it out of play under no pressure.

It shouldn't work but it is working.

 

[The Dude]

Great result, good performance. No nonsense defending, Sa not out of his comfort zone trying to do things he's not capable of...

A real back to basics performance, players drilled in their roles. We're not trying anything groundbreaking here, just getting the fundamentals right.

Vitor seems to be playing to the players' at his disposals strengths, making the outgoing head coach look like a clueless cunt.
