Lovely.
Great to be back.
Yeah, I mean, really surprised.
And that was even on the back of what they did against Man City.
Because I think there was still a kind of question about the Derby, whether we united really, really good, which I think they were, or was it that City were really bad, which I think they were.
So going to Arsenal, I think people, fans thought that maybe the established order would be kind of back again and Arsenal would win relatively comfortably, particularly when they go ahead.
I just think that Michael Carrick deserves an immense amount of credit for what he did because I don't think he's made that many massive changes.
Obviously, the formation is different than the one we saw under Ramrim.
But I don't think there's been this kind of huge change that he's made that people have gone, oh my God, I can't believe he's done that.
He's playing players in the right positions.
He seems to have instilled a level of confidence in him.
I thought the biggest thing
You know, aside from the performance at Arsenal and the result, that time and time again under Amrim, we saw that when things started to go badly, they went really badly.
You know, they would concede two goals in five minutes or three goals in 10 minutes.
Something that predated Amrim, actually.
They happened to turn hard quite a lot.
So when they go a goal down at Arsenal, you start thinking this could be 3-0 in 20 minutes.
And rather than that, you know, rather than kind of just settling themselves, they actually come back to win the game from that point and then suffer another setback right at the end.
and then go on to win it.
I think mentality-wise, that says an awful lot about what Michael Carrick has been able to do in, what is it, 10 days and that.
