I don’t understand Foden gets no time on the pitch. It is concerning that Stirling and Mahrez don’t turn up for big games. However the defence needed fixing and it has been. We need just to add a little quality up front and we will be up challenging. No team is going to run away with the league this season.

To be fair he spends a chunk of the game doing that and I'm not sure how helpful it is.
Same goes for Foden. Looks like this will be his fourth season of 'not quite being ready yet'.

That is what happens when you leave Gundogan on the bench, a seriously under-rated player. He does not captain Germany for nothing.

I'd say its 50/50 at this stage.

Sterling has dropped to an unbelievably shit level, shouldn't be starting

I think that’s the best United team we’ve played against since we’ve been any good. Think we were a little too negative but the clean sheet out weighs a win for me today, who’d have thought Stones would keep Eric on the bench and even have a little dribble in midfield.
Wish Pep would have taken Jesus off and given Foden 15 minutes with Raz in the middle because think we could have won this. Overall happy we didn’t lose though.

You’re very right. How can we spend £60m on a player who weakens the squad?

Maybe he's got our entire defence in his Fantasy team?
we have to be different and hard to beat in respecting united
so what if we did not win ? we did not lose and its going to take time for the whole time to settle down because we are missing a striker. jesus is not a striker and can not play back to goal or smell a chance like a striker does. we need a top draw striker in jan even if aguero becomes fit and ready to play every week. there is a very big hole up front and we are not giving KDB something to hit
jesus is a problem for pep and city in the way pep setups up the team. we are asking for jesus to be a lone striker and lead the line but jesus is far to lazy and turns off ? yes good with the ball at his feet and can be a really problem to defenders if he gets on a run from 30 yards out
we should be straight in for a top draw striker come midnight 31st of december ? go for the best even if its coasting us big money it will be worth every penny to this team and KDB

There was a time when a draw at old Trafford was a good result. This was not one of those times.

I'd be looking around to make sure I didn't give the ball away so much

Cancello defended well but offered nothing going forward
Mahrez was invisible and should have been subbed at HT
The midfield duo of Fern and Rodri also offered no attacking threat and that's what really fucked us
As for the rags they were fortunate not to be two down at HT and they were never scoring tonight

Obviously not great. Although the double pivot has helped make our defence solid AF again, it's obviously blunted our ability - maybe even willingness - to mount incisive, fast (counter-) attacks. I imagine the front 4/5 have been worried over the last 18 months that any broken-up attack or lost challenge could end with the conceding of a goal. And with good reason. It's evident that confidence at the back is booming again (Stones and Dias look absolutely immense). If we're going to be saddled with a double pivot, hopefully in (not too much) time, that confidence will allow the front 4 to start expressing themselves properly. That's the positive spin anyway. Anyway, FFS Meh-rez.

Quick check on rag cafe pretty much tells you where they are.
