Finally can enjoy my week fully again and not have to draw my joy just from my family anymore
ClairvoyantWatch us play proper footy now, I think we'll score 2 or 3.
I thought we were very good second half, and the end of the first half where we injected some pace into our play we were camped in their half.We win, yet I don't get very much from it. Once again we go behind and make it difficult and that's the only time when we seem to take the game with more Intensity.
Johnson did well for the first - he had a good cameo but not a great performance overall and in line with how we have been since before Christmas.
OK agreed but where's he going to play? Is he going to alternate with Maddison? Which I'm fine with but that's Man City kind of spending. We are the 9th richest club in the world but don't seem that keen on massive splashes of cashes.The quote "only bad players are luxury players" springs to mind. He adds quality where we need it.
It's nor papering over cracks. It's signs of a team going through phases and struggling to hit the top note required.Great character to come back and get the win but we really need to see a cohesive 90 mins of football. We keep having good 10 min spells but that is just papering over cracks imo.
Won 2 drawn 1 of their last 7 at home (all comps) They're not as good as they were at the beginning. Hopefully their highline will have to rely on lenglet/chambers stillNo, but it's well-documented that they're very good at home.
We should get a lot of chances with their high line, but so will they.
In which case we need the manager do adopt a smarter strategy which is what Emery will do.No, but it's well-documented that they're very good at home.

Agree with you that we 3 points is king, but we have got to get the measure of the low block. City, Arsenal, Liverpool can do it, we nee to figure out how to more consistentlyI thought we were very good second half, and the end of the first half where we injected some pace into our play we were camped in their half.
Palace didn't deserve a thing from the game.
Its difficult against a low block and we've still got players who aren't playing that well either.
But the only thing that matters is we won. People were worrying about United playing poorly and winning but when we apparently play poorly and win its a catastrophe and unsustainable.
The answer is creativity. We only have Maddison.Agree with you that we 3 points is king, but we have got to get the measure of the low block. City, Arsenal, Liverpool can do it, we nee to figure out how to more consistently
Does he play on the same team as Brendan Johnstone?Who is it commentating on Talksport who keeps saying "Romerio"?
Every bloody time, nobody has corrected him, driving me mental!
I would argue that 'perfectly fine' is not good enough for the 9th richest club in the world with ambitions to be in the top four and win trophies.Was it pretty? No. Do I care? No.
Delighted that Johnson assisted Werner. Two players that desperately needed a confidence boost. Thought Johnson definitely brought something different when he came on.
Micky VDV was my MOTM, but shout out to Emerson. For all the crap he was getting before the game and everyone who was suggesting to play someone else at RB, I thought he was perfectly fine throughout.
Creativity and keep banging the door.Agree with you that we 3 points is king, but we have got to get the measure of the low block. City, Arsenal, Liverpool can do it, we nee to figure out how to more consistently
We can enjoy it and be a critical friend as well.Maybe people should enjoy that we won again and still looking up the table which is key
Really don't think people appreciate how tough it is against low block teams or teams playing for a counter.I thought we were very good second half, and the end of the first half where we injected some pace into our play we were camped in their half.
