Williams and Trent are car crash on that right side

And no real support from Salah.

Jones slows things up way too much, every time.

Not as much as Trent. He looks comatose at times on the ball..

They attack us like we used to attack when we were good. Overlapping fullbacks, pace out wide, countering at speed with as few touches as necessary. We play like they did when we were at our best.

This too

[Kenneth]

BBC creaming themselves about Utd, barely a comment about us... no wonder I don’t watch any BBC coverage usually.

What do you expect, they've been the better side

All very true...

United mainly counter attack though. Can’t hold the ball and dictate the play, which we are doing. If we correct that anomaly on the right when we lose the ball, we win this.

We weren't dictating the play in that half. And I'm not sure you can describe something as an anomaly when it's happening all the time.

Because we are not exposed often on that side usually, so it’s an anomaly. We’re dictating the ball and all of our mistakes have been due to us losing it in offensive situations and exposing ourselves.

bring on Mane and play him out wide to give the team some pace

Of course they can but they choose not to. They are a very effective counter attacking side and it has got them to the top of the league. They have one way of playing and use the speed in their squad to make that work.

I'm not sure that is what happened, but why are we doing that? Why not let then commit players forward at home?

Teams have been targetting our right hand side for a while now. It's usual. I wouldn't describe the way we played in that half as "dictating". I agree about the mistakes though.
