    To coin a phrase.... shockin defending.
    He's a tremendous tackler but goes to ground exceedingly easily. Furthermore, when he gets a tackle wrong, it's an automatic yellow, as he's so brutal.

    But his positional sense, his awareness... the sheer amount of times his zone is just left completely free... it's astounding.

    He also said that despite being 33 points behind us last season, Utd can get to within 10 points with this squad.

    Graham Souness called him out earlier in the season. Saying if he got into the right position in the first place he wouldn't need to make as many last ditch tackling.
    But Graham is just biased.

    Shocking that UEFA are now giving Corrupted so much help with penalties, yet they're unable to take advantage.
    Their players could injure themselves with so much diving.

    Not a bad 24-hours!
    Losing those 3 semis must be quite unique. The only thing that compares really is a team winning all those finals in 2001.

    Indeed

    After seeing us always able to find a way to win in the premier league I was alarmed at how tough we found it v Napoli - Genk - Salzburg and then sadly Atletico. Lost 3 and drew 1 over those 8 games - yet we won the title with a near 20 point margin.

    Those three semis could be spun to some good cup runs, a team in transition, not far off, just need to sign one or two more players, they'll learn from this, they'll come back stronger, blah blah, ad lib to fade...
