Just " win the Everton and Southhampton games "............

Sounds a bit like, "so long as we beat Forest, It´ll be ok"

Rev, not being argumentative but...The defenders legs initial contact was inside the box. It was a PK. However, since he never bothered to look at the VAR or even give a free kick on the edge of the box it was a moot point. Another bit coin for baldy's vault. I think you and I both know that's a PK if it occurs in our box.

Spaldy, regarding Ref decision's at Old Trafford - if you don't know Old Trafford then its famed players tunnel walk is scary as its situated right in the corner of the Stretford End & not pleasant for away players or officials to enter or exit it - even on a good day their fans give deafening threatening verbal abuse big time to all visitors & don't the officials know it for those 'big decision' calls.

Sort of but not.

The game showed we will defend and attack in a slightly different way to Jesse. What we saw against Man U shows we have capable players (they had won 13 games on the bounce at home).

We absolutely need to beat teams in the dog fight with us but if we can also pick up points where there is no expectation of anything then all the better (so long as the teams that need to be beaten are).

The idea is to score first and as early as possible and bring the other team ‘out’ that then will fit into our type of game. I think if it would have happened in a number of games “we ought to have won” there’d be a good chance we would have. IMO.

A draw at Everton is the best I can see, but a win v the saints I can see, as long as someone gives ward-proswse a cruncher in the 1st minute.

We have enough talent to beat the toffees albeit that doesn’t mean we will.

I reserve my call as I have seen us perform even better than man U and flop badly to lesser teams thereafter. They were missing half there team and we went out full strength bar rod. Mistakes are still there defensively and players still the same eg Harrison dribble 4 players when the time comes to pass he loses it or passes it to oppo.
Good point but not getting carried away the relegation problem won't be going away anytime soon.

Really hope Sinisterra is not out for Sunday.

Harrison hurts us on the final pass but I think he does create some problems for defenses and will come back to help.

Agreed but looked like him did his hammie
