I watched this on prime. I was sat at one end of the couch, and my Man Utd supporting family member, at the other end. He’s a regular Old Trafford visitor and seemed devoid of optimism. I’d watched the City vs Utd game and thought they looked ok in the second half and said I’d probably take a point. He said Utd were shite and we’d beat them. By the end his face looked like a bag of squashed welks.
We received two late Christmas presents as Utd gifted us two beautifully wrapped presents in a sending off and a goal from a corner. In the end, I think it was quite a rudimentary home win.
Andre and Gomes, J played well again and seem to have explicit instructions of what to do and when to do it. Semedo, another good game. And of course, Cunha – brilliant and is going to be a massive miss for us.
Toti still makes my butt cheeks clench when he has the ball at his feet. Heart of a lion, physical and always trying to get his head on the ball, though. Still this habit of ‘whiffing’ it anywhere when he’s under zero pressure…
We look galvanised. Everyone seems to know their role/job. Amazing what a competent coach can do…
