THE FUTURE ... AS IT USED TO BE

What do you want?
Like most, I was watching this expecting us to be thoroughly battered. Who wouldn't? Man U are packed with international talent, we've been playing like bellends.
No idea what happened tonight. I am still trying to work out how we can suddenly reset to the first part of last season and not just 'pull off the result' as if it were lucky or we'd fluked it. We didn't. Front to back and with an intrinsically 'understrength' side we just soaked them up and made them look average. Yes, Manchester United, who this season are in resurgence, looked average. We outfought them and out thought them and even when we were under the cosh late on and everyone was shitting bricks, just summat told me we'd fucking win because we deserved it, and fuck me what a fucking dent that's put in their campaign. They expected to go top tonight. Lol. They looked for much of the game like they didn't have a clue how to deal with us, which was reminiscent of the first hour at BDTBL last season where they looked clueless. To watch them beaten from a corner and make a fucking glistening, peanutty, chunky old turd of Burke's goal was fucking majestic stuff.
I'm not giving marks, because it's pointless. They all get a ten, even my favourite midfielder.
Ramsdale - a much better and more confident outing. This was also much to do with a far more co-ordinated central three in front. Came and caught a couple of times - saved some and held on. Maybe he has turned a corner.
Baldock - Fought like a tiger and ran his fucking arse off tracking back and challenging
Basham - Still such a gifted, unorthodox player. One rick near the end, but who gives a fuck?
Jagielka - Man of the Match. Christ, how can you give a performance like that at 38 against a rapid, (supposedly) gifted front line who last time at OT shredded us? It was a vintage Jags outing in a Blades shirt which we'd have praised to hell back in the NW days
Ampadu - Another outstanding performance. Positionally he was on the point tonight because of the attacking midfield threat and did well to counter. That run near the end was pure fucking class
Bryan - Thought he did really well in an unfamiliar position, plenty of energy is if at times caught flat footed by Rashford
Lundstram - Now he knows he's staying, he's fighting for his shirt. Tonight he put himself about and got stuck in
Norwood - 10/10: There you go Oliver. You fucking deserved that. Not so much ping, but graft, plenty of involvement and some decent central passes to put Billy and Didsy in.
Fleck - Back to last season tonight. Dug out blind and refused to tire. So good to see him not dropping his head or making fuck ups and what a stage to get back to your best
McGoldrick - Still the go to bloke out of defence to hold and make use of the outlets. His offside chance - let's not talk about that.
Sharp - An utter menace. To see him ranged against fllow Blade Maguire was fucking brilliant and he didn't let them rest, all the way across the backline
Bogle - Thought he played really well, out of position. Tracked his players and made ventures up the line
Burke - What a fucking player. Welcome to the PL, you legend!
Brewster - Not much for the lad to do because by the time he came on, we were camped out on our 18 yd box
Wilder - Congratulations Chris. Your players gave the club credibility tonight and turned a lot of heads, and shut the laughing and sniggering bastards up. No Wilderball tonight. Just focussed determination, preventing Man U dominating, forcing them into errors instead of us an proving to be demoralising. We defended like Trojans and took the game to them and above all else, refused to give up. What a great night. Well fucking done!
