United fans, we asked for your views on Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Celtic.
Here’s what some of you had to say:
Paul: A result that on paper should never have happened, especially when Celtic can bring £20m worth of players off the bench. Proud of the way we defended, limiting them to only a couple of clear openings. A boost going into some crucial games we should be looking to take a good points haul from.
Stephen: Was it great to watch, no but it was a lot better than taking nine. This Celtic side has battered everyone else in league and cup so to restrict them to barely testing Jack Walton, yeah I’ll take it. A good point well earned, onto St Johnstone on Boxing Day!
Ross: A change of gameplan worked perfectly. From a three to back four, everyone behind the ball when out of possession, compact shape to deny the opponents space – all worked to great effect. Proves that a “horses for courses” tactical philosophy might just keep United looking towards a top six finish rather than the dreaded relegation dogfight.
Anon: Vicko Sevelj is developing into an outstanding defensive midfielder. The cover he provided for the centre-back pairing of Declan Gallagher and Kevin Holt – both pretty impressive themselves – was exceptional and allowed United to frustrate Celtic in a way few teams have managed this season.
Jamie: The draw is brilliant, the clean sheet is outstanding! This was a massive result to move on from last weekend’s disappointment. Now it’s time for Jim Goodwin to play four at the back against teams outside of the Old Firm. Go for it!
Dave: As much a feeling of relief as anything else. Can hardly say we deserved any more but the defensive performance was almost impeccable and worthy of our point. Will hopefully add to the growing belief that’s developing in the club.
Lee: Back to normal after the disappointing defensive display last week vs Motherwell. Discipline, focus and concentration were all on display against the best team in the league and we could even have won it with those half chances at the end. Roll on Boxing Day!
