Agree with this. They are a very average side with unfortunately (for us) two excellent strikers in form.
Our bench does look woeful tho. I put a hopeful bet on Giroud to score first and win 2-1 but think a draw is most likely outcome. To complete the 'sitting on the fence' predictions of others on here, we could also lose
we are fucked if we need to use these subs to chase the game
Exactly - United last year profited from it more than most but the ability to pick up points in the last 15-20 minutes of games are a necessity if you want to win the league. The state on our bench, even considering injuries, is a complete fucking embarrassment. We just don't have the players who we can rely on to change the game if we're struggling.

You haven't worked a single day in football so what do you know? It takes 30 years to work out that Bendter and Akpom are going to fire us to PL glory
Writing is on the wall if it carries on like this. A few times already we've been complacent in possession and then when we've lost it they've had men streaming forward. If we do that for 90 minutes they'll punish us at least once, which would be particularly disappointing as it's the only thing they have in their locker. They really are bang average apart from the strikers.
