Well, what a load or rubbish that was. Well played Crawley, they deserved something out of it. As for our boys, that was disgraceful. They looked as though they didn't give a damn, they also looked as if all they had to do is turn up and they'd automatically win; they showed no respect to Crawley at all and it could have easily bitten them in the arse. Hernandez is definitely the new Solskjaer - just like Ole, he rarely does it when in the starting lineup.
Smalling once again, was good when he came on - Sir Alex obviously saw that the defence needed some help!
To be honest, as soon as I saw the team sheet, I was expecting a game like that - a game where we'd nick a 1-0 win, and have plenty of scares along the way.
Bebe and Obertan have no future at Old Trafford. Bebe, in particular has shown nothing that says to me he has a future at this level (how much did we pay for him? Money that could have been put towards a world class signing no doubt). Obertan's control was especially terrible today.
Still, we're in the quarter finals now, so let's see what happens from here. With any luck, Notts County can give Man City a few scares tomorrow.

In the end, Man United just only scrape past Crawley Town at Old Trafford. Crawley Town deserves a huge credit for their performance and certainly a replay as well. They just lacked that cutting edge in the final third but they did come close at the end when Brodie hit the post. Otherwise, they could have scored at least a goal.
Well, United it is then on 1st March.
Good. I'd rather not have to play Chelsea twice in a few days - and would much prefer to play them now instead of May, when they might be back in form again.
