FA Cup tie with a struggling Reading next.

As Spurs game is 8 days later, surely we need to field a strong team against Reading to maintain confidence and momentum?

This is how Reading are performing:

Yeah they're struggling and probably want to focus on their league position.

With Ole's attacking philosophy, I say we batter them 6-0.

You'd hope OGS has a valuable input regardless of if he stays at season end, on the off chance we do buy anyone in January. Not even sure who is available right now.
He's got the right mindset to advise on now and in summer, let's hope Woodward listens and perhaps changes tack.
Pretty sure targets will have been identified a while ago so it’s just a case of going for them if OGS wants them or if the player wanted to come because of Jose?

For this window we should be going all out for Koulibaly, especially after all the recent appalling racism against him. He may want to leave and is mates with agent Pogba too...

Plastic fan.
Combination of a few things. Mainly them being so far behind while just a loss or two for us and you're right back in it. And I know more pain in the ass Spuds in real life/ on here than Man U fans so I could respond in kind if you lose, biggrin

Yeah I think that targets will have been identified already and Koulibaly looks like a player that would have an immediate impact in solidifying the backline. If he fancies a move now, then yes I would say let's make a move for him. He would be cup tied so couldn't play in the Champions League this season, but which potential Man United manager wouldn't want him in their squad?

United now on the longest current winning streak in the Premiership.

Just need to rescind A50 and impeach Trump and the universe is back where it should be.

Maybe 2019 will be ok after all...

Torn between wanting to use bottlers name for you guys as much as possible now before we do the same so it's not possible, and not wanting to use it as it will come back in future if I do, when the inevitable collapse happens, biggrin And also wanting one of us two to win before City and their new money, versus the nightmare PH will be if you win, hehe

Match day. An early start for OT. Taking my grandson for his first pilgrimage. Hoping that Ole fields some star players and we score a few.
I’ve been to too many of these matches against lower opposition where we have fluffed badly.
York City comes to mind.
Come On!

Have a cracking Day Out! I expect us to sweep reading aside today.

Bacon sandwich being munched before I’m off to the game.

Great being a grandad isn't it.

Hope he enjoys the experience.

Can’t even get in the Fulham team...he’s not progressing from his early potential. Dalot is much better at right back.

4-0 today hehe

Hi, has Fellaini made any starts under Ole ?

Or had many minutes. I would have thought he’d be a nailed on starter in a game like today.

st start. Doesn’t look too different to how Maureen set up. Seems to becoming more defensive as the games go on?

Hes injured, not ready for full games yet. Probably would have played otherwise.

Poor performance so far- hard to say if its the changes, complacency or just poor personnel. Probably a mixture - still we are winning so there is that smile

Hopefully see Garner and Chong in the second half at some point - one more for us early and we should be safe (if we aren't already).
