| 0:00.0 | The So, Fun, it's been incredibly fun. I mean, yeah, we are clearly starting a goal down for a lot of but the comebacks have been |
| 0:35.1 | amazing. |
| 0:36.1 | Gold down two goals down. |
| 0:37.7 | Yeah that game was ridiculous but I mean really to come back and win it in such completely unfussy dominant fashion was really nice to see and just |
| 0:47.6 | absolutely brilliant goals in that Stoke game and and and all three of the strikers on the |
| 0:52.0 | pitch getting on the old sheet. |
| 0:53.6 | Yeah, it was good to see and I thought actually all three of them were very, very good |
| 0:57.6 | for only Van Percy in Welbeck and although I'd say none of them actually really play this |
| 1:02.4 | traditional strikers. |
| 1:03.4 | There's an awful lot of flexibility in that formation. |
| 1:05.7 | It really worked for United in an attacking sense and once again the worry |

| 1:36.9 | and that midfield duo just just not doing the job in the Stoke game. |
| 1:40.9 | Right and we've spoken about this before it's a recurring theme isn't it it's very easy just to point the fingers at the back fore and yes Rio was exposed for those goals |
| 1:50.1 | it's not often that he's kind of physically beaten, but I guess as his legs get older and he ages that that might happen more often or it appears to be happening more often, but I think you're right. It's a team issue. It's a structure of United of midfield and Ferguson's tried to fix it by playing an |
| 2:03.8 | extremely narrow midfield at times that wasn't quite the case against Stoke but at times in |
| 2:09.2 | recent matches he's done that and it allows United to provide a little bit more protection in front of the back |
