When was the last time, we turned a game late on? I think it a couple of games in early 2016.

 

We have won many late points under Conte.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

That flick on by Lukaku was world class for that Rashford goal...or was it just strong Forward play?

 

 

Either way, thank god Liverpool are losing now.

And some of you actually thought we'd finish above United rofl

Matic has been a monster against both ourselves and against Liverpool here. Looks as good as he did early in the season after a bit of a dip.

[Milan 17,835]

Why was Rashford not booked for celebrating with the fans? That is a bookable offence these days. A couple of minutes later he was booked for a sliding tackle which would make him sent off. FFS more inconsistency from the PL refs.

Calm down. We need Liverpool to drop all the points here.

What? That does not change the refs' inconsistency.

Refs been consistently good

Should be expected in this country. Refs will never give the same decision twice

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,742]

Sanchez should have been booked for stopping that free kick.

[Milan 17,835]

That was some quality finish. If he tried that 50 times, never would he be able to replicate that.

I am not sure many people here thought that. United have spend big two years in a row without selling anybody significant. We all know they are good. 

[Pizy 17,860]

United look a lot like us under Mou in his second spell. Rock solid at the back, a nearly impenetrable shield just in front of them, not always exciting but show flourishes of quality in attack.

Though we had chances to go above.. Except we then lost or drew the game as well and now have slid down slightly. 

Oh well... Jose still knows what he's doing..

I  knew that we are not going to finish above United this season.  Their team is better than us last season yet they spend more than us again this season. It is impossible to keep finishing above team who on paper is a much better team.

The difference also is the players they've spent money on have perfromed whereas ours.... Less so.

Sanchez has looked dreadful thus far, Lindelof can't even get a game ahead of Jones & Smalling and Mkhitaryan speaks for himself.

Ya was thinking more Lukaku.. Who we knew would make a impact anyway as used to the league. 

Just annoying to think December we were level with points and now sit 12 behind. Oh well. Do what we have to do.. Which is now start winning
