Alonso.

Well, I think he needs to follow the lead of recent managers and sit tight and don't give anything away.

I mean, that's...

That, I think, was what Nadam was worried about because all the victories and results that United have had against City have been backs against the wall and try and catch them on the counter, get your nose ahead and then hang on.

Unfortunately, this new manager bounce with Carrick, all the talk from Michael Carrick has been about playing football and being attractive and all of these things.

And if he comes into this game

filling the heads of these United players with that thought about being positive, going forward, you know, making runs, you know, be brave, be courageous, all of those great things that sound good in the dressing room before the game, if they actually go about it that way, then I think they'll comfortably be beaten.

And that's what I see.

It reminds me of Chelsea Arsenal during the week, where new manager, Rossignor,

talking about playing football, and Chelsea went out and played their football, but unfortunately they left holes.

And although it was 3-2, they were thoroughly beaten, and there should have been more.

So I can see a similar thing happening with this Man Utd team, going out, trying to play football, trying to kind of go toe-to-toe, but I think that's a bad idea.

Go ahead, Stevie.

You were talking about the new manager bounce.

But when somebody like Semenyo comes in, you get the new player bounce and the side that they join.

Because everybody's...

trying to show him as well what they're all about.

And he comes in like a breath of fresh air.

He's still scoring goals.

He's got assists.
