It's a real crutch United fans are leaning on isn't it ? Hoping and praying that it was a precursor of what's to come (a la the last couple of seasons) rather than a blip on this season's radar.
And what if it's actually, under a new manager, some new players and new tactics, all coming together ? Even in that game Burnley scored two crackers from 3 shots. We failed even one from 80% possession and a gazillion shots, so a feck up, but not one where we were outplayed, just one of those games where the ball wouldn't go in the back of the net. United have had their fair share too in recent seasons.
We only have one Top 6 (from last season) game between now and Xmas, let's see how it stands then shall we ?
