Re: Don’t panic
Anyone going on last night thinking we only needed to turn up to win got a reality check. This is professional football and by it's nature it's unpredictable. That's a reason why it's absorbing.

Re: Man Utd's Equaliser
If it had been us in the PL, we wouldn't have been awarded a goal, of that I am pretty certain. Another example of VAR stretching the rules to favour the 'big clubs' imo. Rashford was clearly off side, and interfering with play because the defender did what was expected of him and moved forward.
