Need to build on this week

Best week we've had in years, arguably. Two fantastic results. As kneerash said, McT was awesome again yesterday. It's getting to the stage that he's not just important due to our midfield being mediocre, he's important because he's actually a very good player.

Something I didn't give him credit for to begin with.

Of course, with United, you know we'll probably go out and get stuffed at Goodison, as that's just what we do. Been a nice week though. Wish we could play against "big 6" teams every game!

Fortunately we’re at home to Everton next week, should get a win.

AZ (h) - mix the XI up, just need a draw
Everton (h) - need to win that, should do if we carry on recent form
Colchester (h) - has to be a win right?
Watford (a) - be disappointed not to win it given how bad they’ve been
Newcastle (h) - usually do well on Boxing Day, again hopefully another win but won’t be easy as they’re playing well
Burnley (a) - who knows, they’ll probably be well up for it so maybe a tricky one. Draw ok if we’ve won the others?

Exciting times (relatively speaking), hope we can go on a good run to take us into the Arsenal and Wolves (FA) games

They absolutely are. We're lethal on the counter but not so good at opening teams up

Everton is at OT? For some reason I thought it was away. Yeah I'd expect us to win that

Everton have the new manager bounce. Won't be an easy game, but one we should be winning.

Wolves drew so we're still in 5th thanks Brighton.

We are one injury away from being mediocre. This is just a fact. We are entering the Christmas period and will need to rotate.

We have a system, we need players that can support it. Hopefully, Garner, Tuanzebe and Pogba get games in EL and league Cup.

Been a good week mate, McTominay excellent yesterday

Really becoming a top player now.

Having Pogba back soon may help. We do need better in the am/acm role in the side, regardless of whether Pogba stays or not. I like Fernandes, but the Portuguese league isn't great and hardly anyone wanted him in the summer. Even spurs weren't willing to pay what Sporting wanted. I'd go out if Kai Havertz but his fee keeps going up. We got to get that done soon.

Sunday is huge for us. A win versus Everton, who usually give us a game, would give the team and fans a huge confidence boost.

I think it's fair to say we still go into this game half expecting to drop points.

Shame Silva didn’t stay at Everton another week, be a much tougher game now.
