They didn’t really set up with a team filled with confidence and superiority over the opposition either. Their tactic was mostly to throw two lines of 4 across the back and hit us on the break.
It rewarded them the result but not in the fashion of City, who sweep teams aside with invention and flair.
This was a game that could have gone either way. I heard the commentator mention that we could consider ourselves unlucky on the night.
United took their chances well by mostly playing on the back foot. The post match media nonsense about them being too good for us was utter drivel.
