How many subs are allowed in this game?

Will the one we have been forced to make limit our options on attacking substitutions later in the game?

Five apparently, assume we've four left.

How did we get to half time without conceding?

Because we are generally a heck of a lot better at defending than we used to be!

Because we stuck to the game plan, force them wide and deal with the crosses. We only allowed them to drive in to the box once or twice from the middle so I reckon Moyes will feel ok.For all Man U’s possession, Fab had only had one ( admittedly outstanding) save to make.
Let’s not lose faith yet !

The snag is that it's not a league game. a 0:0 and point can't happen. Need to attack a bit now

[TCEvo]

Johnson on - Bowen off?

[RichB]

Through perhaps the Manc's had put us in the bus in the car park where there isn't a bell

[TCEvo]

Fredericks for Diop - forces formation change. If a concussion change do we therefore still have three subs available?

[pincher]

Cracking save from Fab!

[TCEvo]

Regardless of result we're losing players at an alarming rate this evening.

Good to see the youngster on though.

Commentary just got it completely wrong and mixed Mipo up with Afoleyam saying he came on against Doncaster ?

Afo's on loan w/ Bolton (I think) & yes sounded like a mix-up.

Funnily enough Afo wasn’t gonna be on the bench for that game Mipo was,but Mipo failed a Covid test that week that then turned out to be wrong.. poor sod.

[RichB]

Mipo's the Irish one, yes?

[RichB]

did Martial just accidentally bang Coufal on the nose? No sending off...

Yep, the other lad although he got the headlines has done the rounds and is 23ish now and won’t be around soon.

[TCEvo]

Good half that - played well, Irons shot on target would be good...

COYI!!!

[coldel]

Big moment was Fornals in the three on two hitting the defender! Two decent passes and thats rolling it into an open goal.

[TCEvo]

bks - bit inevitable that on that counter.

[TCEvo]

Meh.

Hope Og's OK.

Maguire man of the match when the commentators have said for 120 mins that we offered nothing going forward
