Lets get something straight. That "second string" united team was 100% stronger and better than the first string who were absolutely dry bum fu'cked by city on sunday. I would rather have played against the likes of ferdinand, vidic and carrick than people who actually gave a fu'ck.
We played our strongest team (besides Lucas) because we need to. Its called getting match fitness and cohesion. Yes we lost, but only because of a sloppily defended corner. We played well in parts and had plenty of chances. It was a hundred times better than saturday and we could easily have won if we had been sharper in attack.
Those who take joy in being able to say we are "Sh*t" because we got beat by a single goal need to give their heads a wobble because we had a decent performance tonight. Not great, but decent with plenty of positives. I cringed at the performance against southampton, I quite enjoyed tonight except for the result.
Welcome back Luis
