Too slow

1930s United were skint and shit, they nearly got relegated out of the league system completely at one point. City helped them out by voting against allowing Manchester Central into the league system and gave United some of our old kits because theirs were all tattered - ie, Rags.

My Grandad has always referred to United as the Rags. He’s 84. It seemed to disappear for a few decades but came back in the internet era

Fascinating ,never heard of Manchester Central FC

That’s putting a romantic and amusing spin on it but, as skint as they ever were they didn’t ever play in rags and that’s not where it comes from.
Even the most skint pub teams don’t play in rags and they were well supported locally in their time in Newton Heath where they’d drink in the railway after games sometimes.

Lol ok boss.

Fernandinho has grown into the game quite nicely

Our Kev needs a proper rest. Not a week, maybe a month. I think he's fucked.

Playing him as one of the two false nines, while expecting him to do the grunt work in midfield AFTER pressing, is like flogging your Rolls Royce around the Nurburgring!

He needs to be taken to Crewe and treated to a nice rest in the garage and done one on one time with some craftsmen who’ll bring him back to a new, good as new, shine.

All a bit too pedestrian at times, but WHU have an 8 man (+ keeper) block that we are struggling to break through.

I’d like to see Mahrez give us some width out right, as he’s playing a LOT of RM, inside forward, coming in on his left.

This has got Leicester away cup vibes about it.

Hope so

Can't see us scoring a goal
