I was watching him too. He was tired, but he hardly needed to go off in a wheel chair!Quote:

It’s not as if we were bringing any superstars or youngsters on to replace him.

Whats that got to do with the manager, who picks the team and decides on substitutes. He wanted to win the game and M-Laing was obviously tiring. If he had left him on and they had scored two or more in the last ten minutes, no doubt you would be complaining that he should have substituted him earlier.Quote:

How would you have felt if Manchester United had salvaged something from the game due to the fact that they'd managed to exploit a tiring player?Quote:

The bigger picture was us coming away from Old Trafford with a win.
How would I have felt? Couldn’t feel more disappointed about a piss poor season even if we’d lost 3-2 in injury time. Our boat had sailed well before yesterday.Quote:

Anyway, as I said earlier. It’s all about opinions. 👍
Absolutely this.Quote:

Every player, manager, coach would and should treat every game on its merits in a professional manner and not think "oh, he's out on his arse but we'll leave him up front goal hanging. It would be 'nice' to see him get a hat trick, we might even be second in Match of the day"!
I for one have been sick of people churning out the same old bollocks of us only taking four points off the top six in our time at the top.
It's as though these super stattos breathed a huge sigh of relief when we were finally relegated as so many of them predicted and kept predicting throughout the season (except when we won of course).
Peoples' reputations are on the line every time they cross the white line and it may have been a dead rubber to some but to those players and the travelling support, the victory was sweet.
I bet NM-L didn't even give the hat trick a second thought, he got a brace in a 2 nil win to give his side their first victory at Old Trafford in almost sixty years FFS. I bet he's still on cloud nine!
In the end we missed out on safety by a meagre couple of points or, put another way, a poor linesman's decision.
That makes the end of the season seem a lot sweeter to some.
