Man City must be sick of Man Utd comebacks:

2010 EPL - City 0 v Utd 1 - Scholes scores a 93rd minute injury time winner

2010 Carling Cup - Utd 3 v City 1 - Rooney scored a 92nd minute injury time winner to send Utd through 4-3 on aggregate

2011 Community Shield - City 2 v Utd 3 - City winning 2-0 at half-time, end up losing 2-3 after Nani scores a 94th minute injury time winner

2012 EPL - City 2 v Utd 3 - RVP scores a 93rd minute injury time winner

2017 EPL - City 2 v Utd 3 - City winning 2-0 at half-time, end up losing 2-3.

and United must be sick of WBA

WBA have lost only one of their last 6 games at Old Trafford.

That was a tepid, limp, pathetic "performance" from Man Utd. They could not even raise their game after WBA scored.

Funny enough the last time Man Utd lost to the bottom team in the EPL (Blackburn in 2012) - it caused a ruckus in the team that led to Pogba leaving in frustration to join Juventus. That was the (in)famous game where Man Utd had an injury crisis and had no fit senior midfielders. Pogba thought SAF would pick him. Instead SAF picked Fabio da Silva (a full back) and Phil Jones (a CD) to play in CM ahead of Pogba. That was the last straw for Pogba who thought if he could not get a game in CM (his position) ahead of defenders, the end was nigh...

Non-prominent Zinedine ZePog nowhere near Team of the Year. As foretold. #ColourMeBad.

The contrasting dynamic and horror performances against Man City and WBA are indictments of Mourinho's defensive mindset. He sets the team to play with the handbrake on. When he actually lets them lose - they can play very well (as they showed against City and at the start of the season). Starting a home game against the bottom team with Rashford, Martial, and Lingard on the bench is mind numbingly conservative.

And a possible FA Cup triumph. It’s been a good season for United.

The FA Cup semi is basically a home game for Spurs. They must be favourites to win the entire thing since they will play at home in the semi and final (if they get through).

Side note - Man Utd's defensive record when Phil Jones has played/does not play 90 minutes this season:

Played 90 minutes in 20 games - 14 clean sheets
NOT played 90 minutes in 14 games - 3 clean sheets

Luke Shaw has started 6 EPL games this season. Man Utd kept a clean sheet in all of them...

Phil Jones is a typical English agbero no-nonsense defender. He fights like a bulldog. He is a great asset especially when you play the smaller teams away.

I still prefer Bailly/Rojo combo but that's when they are fully fit and in form. Rojo is like Rooney, he takes forever to hit form but when he does he is a beast! Injuries have really done a number on Man United but they are getting there!

There seems to be some kind of juju curse on Man Utd defenders that hexes them with injury after injury (Rio, Vida, The Twins, Jones, Rojo, Bailly, Shaw, Blind, Evans...). I thought Jonesy had another injury yesterday. There was a moment when he blocked a shot by Wilson and stayed down. I thought "here we go again"...

United have to win trophies, its in our DNA, we expect to go for the big trophies every season, this season has been a dissapointnent but certainly an improvement from the last 3 years, I am sure Mourinho knows the players he needs to win a premiership, a typical Mourinho side is defensively tough, will not let you score and powerful midfielders and a proven finisher, we are pretty close, next season, he has to make it right meaning against the smaller teams , we have to get 3 points, that exactly what City did and we still failed in that department, we certainly did well against the big 6 but thats why City are the champions today
