    How far have we come

    I think that this weekend's game against Manure will show us where we stand.

    We were unlucky to lose against both Liverpool and Man Citeh and to a large extent, the final at Wembley against this weekend's opponents.

    A comfortable win on Sunday with a supreme possession would be fantastic. I don't expect us to emmulate Liverpool's recent demolishment of them but I do think that if we play our best game we can comfortably better them.

    We’ve been in a bad patch of form. It’s a real shame the cup final was in the middle of it. After our last 2 games, we appear to be coming out of it. We played very well against Forest IMO.

    I'd like to think we can get something to be honest.

    Yep-our run of poor form coincided with their upturn. The better team won but it could have been so different.

    We can win but I'd be happy enough with a point, tbf.

    If the lads aren't up for this next one its a worry.

    We need 3 from this or a very good performance at least. We will know this time tomorrow if we are serious about a top 4 challenge or not.

    We are due one.

    The team have to be serious about the top 4. We are not playing the same team that we faced in the League Cup final.

    No Casemiro our midfield will dominate them. Fred is a joke, McTomaNOPE goes missing, hides in the pocket of his CMF partner (words of a Man U fan I know, not mine)

    Anthony is a £90m flop, I don't fear him at all and he's bang off form right now.

    Rashford is the only real threat. Weghorst is worse than Chris Wood. He is Dutch so he Ten Haag brought him in, if he was Danish he'd be playing for Sunderland.

    Kluivert has come out and said he feels insulted that this clown has got Caps for The Flying Dutchmen. Botman is gonna eat him alive.

    Schar and Trips need to keep Rashford quiet, I'm sure they'll do the job.

    I don't see any threats and I'm not worried.

    We are at home, we have to win our home games if we are going to play CL football.

    Before the Freekick and the first goal we were controlling the game. Eddie will have drilled the lads on defensive set pieces to ensure we don't make those mistakes again.

    We can not lose this match.

    The only way we lose this match is if the VAR team cheat us out of the points. If the Refs play it straight we can not lose.
