Frustrating to not take advantage but coming out of that game week a little closer to top 4 isn't the end of the world I guess....

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Surprising thing about Chilwell is that he’s really good at winning defensive headers. If the rumours are to be believed City are after him.
Ricardo has been a great signing for them too.
Told ya
Seriously, Leicester are a weird team with some dangerous players. Hope they don't turn up on Sunday and we get an easy 3 points Brilliant result for Spurs, we still keep grinding out those results in the league even with the injuries.
Resisted the urge to check scores all evening. What a pleasant surprise.
When you watch the Chelsea match on MOTD it won't show how lacking in spirit they were. On auto-pilot
Luiz will make you laugh
Emerson was run ragged

Fekin hell. What a game that will be.
Yes. I think that's smart opinion as how the game was. You were poor tonight and still get another point over City. But things still bit far from over I reckon.Phew, thank God we didn't lose.
City had 65 at this stage last season. We were on 53.
Why does Josh King never get linked to a bigger club? Weird one.
We ll know by next 3 match days
Pool play West Ham (A) Bournemouth (H) Manchester United (A)
City play Arsenal (H) Everton (A) Chelsea (H)
68% possession, lose 4-0. fecking sake.
Their performances have certainly started to deteriorate these past couple of weeks. Lucky v Brighton. Lucky v Palace. Lucky tonight.
It’s a pity those City wankers aren’t the ruthless machine of last season. They’d be well clear and we wouldn’t be in here sweating ourselves.
I was at work and kept a glance at the scores, but I ignored the Chelsea game because I thought they were winning 3-0. Yikes was I surprised when I realized what was happening.
They both have crossing and defending in their lockers..
I was pretty confident before this game with the players having had a 10 day rest but this was awful. Leicester were as close to getting the winner as we were. I hope it’s complacancy and not nerves.
They've dropped plenty already to be fair. That's a huge let off for City tonight after their dropped bollock last night. 5 points is still a small lead.
Chelsea got tonked 4-0
I’d say it’s a bigger let off for us. If City had won we’d be feeling big pressure.
Great round for Spurs. Extend the lead on fourth, close the gap on City.
Can't imagine a lot of people winning a lot of money on this rounds results. First time Liverpool don't win against a team outside the top 6, City lose to Newcastle who can barely score goals, Chelsea get schooled by Bournemouth similarly to the opener last season and we managed a solid and good point against Sean "unbeaten on a Tuesday" Dyche.
Spurs manages to become a dark horse for the league again on paper and solidifying themselves in the top 4 race.
Elsewhere Juventus lose 3-0 and Roma lose 7-1. Betting parlours jumping for joy.

He's the man:
Would anyone take Jonny Evans over Phil Jones if we could swap today? Gotta day I’d be half tempted
Think it's only 5pts after all, just go and beat Arsenal and I reckon Liverpool will have similar few games like tonight.
What happened?
Aah gotcha. Sorry about that.
How many days of rest did they have before this game? (Liverpool)
Last game was Saturday 19th.
11 days of rest is a lot.
An awful lot. They were in Dubai at a warm weather training camp so I’m sure it was lovely to come back home to ice and snow.
Tbf we played first so not really a case of not taking advantage
Spurs will be happiest along with arsenal and Liverpool and us being slightly ok as we are kinda better of in terms of where we wanna be given the season
Odd week
Fecked us up two years ago as well.
We had three weeks off before playing...Leicester. They had two CL games against Sevilla before they even played us.
We went there all fresh and ready to go, and got battered 3-1.
Its only Cardiff
Its only Huddersfield
Its only Bournemouth
Blah Blah Blah
Its Bournemouth, Leicester, Newcastle and Burnley that the top 6 couldn't beat this midweek games. One got a spanking too.

Normally I'd stick to the maths and say it's not that bad as we're 1 point closer but with our upcoming sandwich fixtures and a tough trip to Leicester that was brutal. We're in a position that we can barely afford losing points to Liverpools, Chelseas or Arsenals, let alone bloody Burnley at home.
Complacency, tiredness for some, headless chicken strategy, arrogance for others. And Congrats to Tottenham for doing so well and maintaining pressure even with a severely depleted squad.
From a neutral perspective I really enjoyed this round of results. Why should the big boys have all the fun?
A Thermal shock? Whatever it was, the performance was shocking and insipid. Deserved draw.
It was after beating Tottenham 2-0, if I remember correctly. But that team had a shocker of a January and February to be fair, not just the single Leicester game.
There were rumours of Pep wanting him.
5 points is nothing. City have a strength in depth Liverpool lack so my money would be on City.
On the other hand, City are bound to prioritise the CL and Liverpool will only be too happy to crash out. If Klopp has a go at the CL I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish empty handed. That would be hilarious actually.
