The point on display is that you can’t fault the performance of most of the players after that point

Yes we’ve seen that kind of result a lot and it is totally tactically naive and I don’t believe anyone thought otherwise

Your contention however seems to be that United were under no pressure, which is just demonstrably false

No I don’t think it was luck, we took an injured defender off and stuck an attacking player on so we always left a risk of being caught on the break. But I don’t buy the idea that the finishing was consistently poor, my contention is simply that we lost ourselves the game in first ten minutes despite doing everything possible to remedy that afterwards
I don't know what you're reading.

yes we played well but at the end of the day we were horrible defensively and didn't put our chances away.
so out of the title race well before Christmas and a decent performance in a game we lost really doesn't change anything.
There isn't much to argue about in either of Zim's post.
