    Perhaps. But ours could have been stronger had we reacted to Perkins playing on his own.

    I think we were too frightened of em. And when our system wasn't working we didn't change it quick enough.

    Agree with the last sentence. Flitcroft got it wrong with 442 but they were good. Very good.

    We gave the Ben Watson wayyyy too much time on the ball, in the Bournemouth game he looked a completely different player

    Aye, I expected him to play just as well against Man Utd as us.

    Yes, every game is the same, every team will be the same, whether it's 1st game or 46th.

    Wigan aren't any good we're ****, Flicker's just lucky, until we win then the others were ****.

    I knew it'd be just like this. Made a rod for his own back last season. This season is completely different and is the real test of him and the M's.

    No one is or should not be anyway saying any of that, I just happen to think we papped ourselves playing Wigan.

    You are right that this seaosn is different, last season we were **** or bust and therefore didn't give ourselves the option of subbing attacking midfielders for defensive ones.

    This is the challenge this season - we could go **** or bust last season as we had a mini season to catch up - nobody truthfully expected us to - but we had a short term high intensity gameplan - totally unsustainable over 46 games.

    Yes we never got amongst Wigan, but we have a full season to navigate.

    Agree with that. It's a difficult line between playing to our strengths and being over cautious..

    We need to find a new mix that works given we can't have the intensity we had last season all this season.
