I've just had time to dust myself down and i recorded the whole game as it was Sky Sports pick for game of the day. We actually played quite well again!!! It was another strange game. They were just ruthless when the chances came their way (something we lack in the final third at the moment) But some of our possession play was very good and we need to remind ourselves we were missing 8 players!!! Those goals either side of half time killed the game off, but it was fairly even for the most part. I really think we need to calm down, and a couple of wins i'm sure will breed some confidence within the ranks and we can start moving up the table. We were certainly not battered yesterday

To put it in simple terms ... we didn't put the football in the back of the net but they did four times. That's the whole point of a game of football and that's why we never get any points.

I remember thinking when I went to Anfield and see us lose 9-0 it flattered them!! we definitely had them rattled when GT hit the post!!

I take all the positives I can. 1st half vs City and 2nd half at Old Trafford showed we're not that bad, but you can tell as soon as we approach the opposition box the Eagles stop flying. Scared for smt unfamiliar - the ball in the net, I guess...

We froze up front because once we got there we had nobody to receive the ball. When Sako pushed wide to get on a ball we had nobody in the centre at all.
We did seem to play well in the second half but that may be more due to how Utd chose to play at that point. A commentator noted that at the beginning of the second half the 2-0 advantage would suit Mourinho as his team could now just sit back and counter - a style he likes. That's pretty much what happened.

Especially as they were three up with over 40 minutes to play. There's no danger in ceding possession to us as we're not going to do anything with it are we?
