Tek · 18/4/2023 8:05 pm

A chance for Utd to win 3 consecutive Premiership games in a row for the first time since October 2021.

Your starting XI and formation?

Same team again for me

10 of the same 11.
Freeman's a worry v Nouble.

I'd hope Jim has learned from the last game and has a game plan to deal with this.

Yip this the big guy is a decent player, some how we need to get the big guy running in the opposite direction.

For me it's the same as last week and particularly the 2nd half. McGrath, Sibbald and Harkes NEED to dominate and this week will be a lot harder.

I hope we can back the guys the way we did last Saturday I really feel we made a huge difference and was notable at the rnd of the match.

3 points and no more injuries please.

Just read these stats on the BBC regarding the last 10 meetings with Livi and I’m now feeling a wee bit depressed. No disrespect to Livi but it really should be the other way around with Utd dominating. Just shows how bad we have been the last couple years.

Massive, massive win.

First clean sheet since January 2nd.

First time Utd have won 3 Premiership games in a row since October 2021.

The players really stepping up at a critical time for the club.

No let up can be had however. Need to keep going for a win again next week.

Hopefully we get St.Johnstone next week and can overtake them. That would be huge.

Is it not the weekend after next the first post split fixtures?

Arabdownsouth · 22/4/2023 6:05 pm

Agree though, massive result today. Need to keep it going somehow though.

Stillliving · 22/4/2023 6:42 pm

A deserved 3 pts. The team is organised and has a good defensive shape. Can't recall Livi really creating a chance.Got to keep the focus as we're still right in the shit with 5 games to go.
M.o.M. difficult today as plenty of good performances but Fletcher was integral to our victory at both ends of the park, the one player we could not do without.

Forgot it was Scottish Cup weekend next weekend.

Although momentum is a great thing to have, having another fortnight for Goodwin to get us even fitter, organised and a couple more players available, can only be a good thing.

I thought Freeman did a lot better this time against Nouble. Doubling up on him really worked.

SuperMario · 22/4/2023 10:12 pm

I love Goodwin

BMT · 22/4/2023 10:36 pm

A great 3 points today and definitely improving week by week. Can’t believe the number of times Aziz puts the ball across the opposition box and no one is at the back post !

Snacks94 · 22/4/2023 10:38 pm

Great 3 points. Sibbald, Ayina and Fletcher class again. Fans out in numbers and all away home happy. Let’s fill Tannadice for our last two home games of the season. Win them and we’ll be safe IMO.

Put that down to Goodwin.

Great win !!!

Is the draw out is it ?

Great team performance and that is something we rarely said before Goodwin walked through our door.

Somehow he is managing to get a tune out of some really bang average football players and that's testament to him, a sign of a decent man manager. You could see it as others have pointed out with young Fotheringham when he was subbed and on the lap of honour St the end.

Niskanen although very limited ability wise worked his back side off but for me man of the match was Kieran Freeman.

33 minutes of torture he endured the other week but through hard work, fight and a real determination kept their key man quite.

That was the key yesterday and the hours on the training field paid off, well done all involved.

I'm not going into it with Clancy but what on earth is up with that guy?

Onwards and upwards, Mon the Shed.

Well that was the game that was.

Canna believe whar we are compared to just a month ago.

Just before McGrath scored, Eh was shouting at Harkes to hit it. (canna be right ah the time).

We were well in control, but when McGrath went off, Livi got mair oe the ba. Fae then on, was a nervous wreck till Fletcher came aff the sideline and got the second. Hallejujah.

Goodwin lives up to his name yet again.

Clancy. Absolute goon.

MOTM hard ane, but Sibbald beh a smidgen.

Tangy · 23/4/2023 2:43 pm

A wee shout out to kai as well. To lose tye ball, fight to get it back, get the ball out your feet and lay it on a plate for fletcher was probably harder than it looked. What a difference in the same group of players.

May not be world beaters but can't imagine the same group getting rolled over either

Arabdownsouth · 23/4/2023 2:58 pm

My main concerns are still the keeper who's still not really shown anything to suggest he can keep us in games, just don't see him as anywhere near good enough, and injuries to key players like Fletcher, Behich, Sibbald and McGrath. Fingers crossed I guess, 5 cup finals left!
