Newcastle United 1 v Manchester United 1. In what is the busiest time of the year for football in England, waiting 16 days to see United play was a real drag. As it turned out, so was our performance last night.

We certainly didn’t look refreshed and ready to go that’s for sure. Quite the opposite in fact with lethargic passing and decision making, but I suppose that’s been ‘our thing’ for most of the season hasn’t it.

I get certain players are just back from injury, we’re learning a new formation, lack of match fitness and the training ground was shut for a number of days, but come on. Every player should be able to look switched on, ready to play and make basic decisions when it comes to passing to your team mates or marking the opposition’s players.

Not a good Monday, roll on Thursday night at Old Trafford. Lets hope we’re up for that!
