Not the same as Sunday....

Or in other words, what Matt said.

Except with the addition of the phrase 'stonking rod-on', which I could never have conjured up. I take my hat off to you, Sir!

I still don't think it was particularly 4-5-1.... Carney and Martin were pushing on to support Hulse in a 4-3-3.

Armstrong added some pace and effort and often pushes forward well.

Could see exactly what he was trying to do, it didn't work, but it took balls to try it.

Especially given a sniff of any possibility of 4-5-1 and people start chucking their toys out of the pram.

The problem I saw with the whole thing was that the system prior to the substitution and change of tactics was working and we were looking more and more like equalising so why did Robson decide to change it? Whether it took balls or not, it was a bad decision. Even if he did know what he was doing, he was wrong! (In my opinion, of course )

Thats the thing... whether he was right or wrong, I was just saying what I saw him to be trying. Many seem to think that it was a simple go 4-5-1 and shut up shop, but thats not what I saw.

Ultimately it didn't work as we didn't go on to win the game, there is no saying that 4-4-2 would have either.

What I am saying is that we were starting to get on top of Watford, so I saw no need to try a different change of formation. Which in turn made the game fizzle out.

TBH watford wasn't anything special and neither were we. There was only 1 team going to win it towards the end and that was us, so the 3rd substitution had me scratching my head.

Booing tonge when he came on was a disgrace, shouldn't happen to any player.

I though Claude Davis was back at the lane when i first went to my seat.

Strange positioning from the strikers too. Hulse was on the last man and shelton the other side of him. When hulse wins the flick on, shelton is nowhere. Hulse should drop and leave shelton on the last man for the flick ons and balls forward. he wants to stay on that last man.

What a header from morgan too to set up our goal, beat 4 of there players in the air to the ball.

I said that, if you mean Ugo

But i thought Ugo actually played like him

Slow and gangly and can't kick straight

Dont want to mention the first half because we all know how poor it was!

Why however is it that we for some reason see the need to wait until we have conceeded and losing until we sort things out ... There was passion and fight in the second half as well as a bit of good football but yet again we find ourselves 1-0 down at home and chasing a game!

If only we started with the energy we did after 45 minutes at the beginning of the game

In all the years I've been watching United (cue Hovis theme tune) we've often had a crap half followed by a good half. No idea why. I blame aliens. Or lager.
