For me, he takes Evans place in a back three alongside Fofana and Soyuncu....

Not for me, whether it's JJ, Fofana or Soyuncu, like Maguire before them, they all need an Evans to martial and keep and eye on them. I think it's this part of Evans game, his positioning and guidance that some people don't quite give him due credit for. Sometimes the 'young bucks' need to be held back and learn from a master.

Play Ricardo instead of albrighton.

So the real question becomes what do we do with albrighton when Ricardo is fit. He's been absolutely brilliant (almost as good as JJ) in the last few games and has a really good partnership with JJ. 

I still think man for man and as a team we're much better than ManU. I'll happily take the point, especially after coming from behind twice. How Bruno stays on the pitch I have zero idea. But it's the same way Pogba manhandles Ndidi and gets nothing but if it was Ndidi he'd be carded. I'd love some sort of deep dive analysis into how a team like ManU is treated by refs. If nothing else to draw a line under whether I'm just imaging it or there's a real underlying accusation to be aimed at referees. Maybe MOTD could do something... hahahahaha what am i thinking. Watched the Saturday BBC football program before the match and apparently both Lawrence and Leon Osman have us bottling it in the second half of the season. You know because we did it last season. Lawrence and his "I think they've had a few injures". They get paid lots of money for their lazy BS. It's mad.

This is why we have such a long way to go. Footballing terms, we're kixking that door of the top 6. Financially, we have some way to catch up.

..financially we will never get to the same level as the big boys!!!

  There is a ceiling,  in respect of our potential for development regarding incoming revenue, but we can compete on the pitch, because we scout well and buy well.

City showed a level of determination that they did against Spurs. In such a closely matched game it's often small errors that turn out to be the decisive turning points, however, we kept at it and scored the better goals - from being behind twice, and that is a huge progression from caving in to 'average' sides.

I didn't see the game some posters here saw. I thought Madders had a decent enough game. Had not Rashford (?) got in the way of his free kick the game might have changed then. He is a classy player - able to hold the ball in tight situations. I wish they'd do something with these short corners, though. What's the point of a corner if you're just going to recycle it back to Schmeichel?

There was some lovely intricate play on both sides. Barnes made the best of the game. Castagne looks a 100% professional in his play and attitude. N'Didi was again magnificent - as was Tielemans. Vardy did what he's the best at - being in the right place at the right time. Evans had a great game. Fofana is a tough bugger, is he not? Albrighton showed he can throw a defender.

A draw was a fair result - either team could have shaded it but didn't. I'm happy that we matched them and I don't understand how anyone can be snarky about individual players when we, statistically, had the upper hand. We bought on one sub to their three!

Now we have to carry on this standard to one of the tricky sides. Win against the Palace and we have continuity at last. I'm proud of what the boys done.

Oh, and BT, please drop Hoddle. As great a player as he was, he's equally as dire as a commentator.

He was IMO. His highlight was getting booked for taking their man down. Added nothing to our performance other than negatives today. 

Barnes doesn't score without getting the pass from Maddison. So yeah that's a weird way of adding nothing to our performance and only negatives.

Chuffed with that point to be honest. We didn’t really show that much quality and did well to earn a draw.

 

Bruno Fernandes is a ****ing horrible rat. He gives me Suarez levels of anger. 
 

Also funny how no one has given Brendan “no plan B” Rodgers any credit for bringing Perez on. 

he had no choice we were 2-1 down and he had to do something. Rodgers should have made the changes earlier so Perez saved him from criticism on this thread really

Haha how does that work. Does Rodgers never get any credit then? He brought him on and was impactful. Rodgers should get as much credit for that change as Perez should for being productive immediately.

Damn me for sleeping in this morning. Missed the match and checked the score, although I'm still going to watch it anyway.

I had the alarm set for 5.00am and the coffee maker set. Bacon, eggs & beans at half time. It was a good morning !

He should also get questioned why the hell the change wasn’t made earlier when the person he replaced was clearly gubbins on the day.

I was impressed by Barnes-  he is normally a threat against smaller teams but I thought this season he is starting to replicate this against bigger teams-  he played well against City and now Man United.   I missed Arsenal and Spurs game although and Liverpool is obviously a non starter.

He could’ve brought Perez on earlier and he could’ve been shit, then Rodgers would’ve gotten slaughtered. 
 

There are things that he got wrong today, but it’s swings and roundabouts.

 

My point is, every manager we have gets accused of having “no plan b”. Yet when they do make a change that comes off, they don’t get credit.
