Earlier in the season we play out of our skin in several games in which we don't get the results we wanted. People complain like hell and maintain that performances come second to results, and the bottom line is collecting points.
Now we play poorly but get the results people were hoping for. People complain about the tactics and performance completely ignoring their previous assertions.
In short, the United 606 board whines. That's what it does. That's how it rolls.
To be fair we've only been defensive in 2 games that I can recall. Liverpool (who were banging the goals in while we had a shaky run of form) away and City away. I imagine we would have been defensive v Chelsea away had we not conceded two early goals. Going away to places like that I don't mind parking the bus as a draw isn't a bad result. We have not been defensive in any of our other games, really don't see what people are whinging about. the vast majority of our draws have not been down to the style of play but the finishing of our attackers. How anyone can see different frankly is beyond me. Hate bringing up Fergie in these type of threads, but he put in some masterful defensive displays to get results in tough places.

Robbie, people are happy with the point.
They are not happy with the way it was achieved
They are entitled to that view as they have seen similar things happen this season against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Why you have a problem with this is a mystery considering how often you share your views with us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When did we play like this against Arsenal? And we played very well when we beat Chelsea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When we went a goal up and sat back and lost the lead in the 90th minute.
How many times have we played Chelsea this season Robbie?
