United, Mind You

Have to say I thought that if we lost yesterday, it would be a typical Old Trafford battering but that was far from the case and in fact if we have a player with a tiny bit more hunger than Giroud we nick a point there after a less than convincing performance! Only an average Welbeck and a passed it Rio were missing for them yesterday so they were more or less at full strength yet scraped it off a corner and celebrated like it was a cup final!

I certainly believe they're nothing to worry about this year because we had 6 big players out away from home and still came close on our bad day! They scraped it off a set-piece too, was a dire game overall if I'm honest and under Moyes they seemed to have lost their bullish direct wing play style and have no real style to their game just launch it up to the 2 forwards and hopefully get something, they also showed us a lot of respect by setting up ultra defensively in midfield. As much as they should enjoy yesterday I'd be worried as a United fan as they really don't look or feel as scary as they did only some months back!

They've still got Liverpool and Spurs to worry about while we can be pleased that our main threats in Chelsea & City dropped points, United beat us exactly the same way Stoke used to beat us back in the day through scoring a corner then defending the rest of the game and they were home, it's also testament to our improvement this year but we're one top striker away from seeing them off with ease upon the next meeting... I wish the reverse fixture was sooner than it is to be honest, the loss hurt but they're nothing to worry about thank God!
