Thanks shaneo. As requested.
The reason for playing counter on away because to me it is always difficult to play away and especially when playing with great teams like Man City, Chelsea, Barcelona to name a few I need to defend my back. It’s not that I don’t trust the strength of my team but I just want to be more precaution. Another reason would be hopefully by using this counter tactics they can attack on the break.

A very disappointing result as Man Utd were held 2-2 in front of their home crowd.
Both teams started well but it was Man Utd who were in front in the 17th min through Antonio Valencia powerful shot. Steven Taylor equalised for Newcastle in the 23rd min with a fine header. It was 1-1 at half-time.
In the second-half, David De Gea gave Newcastle the lead when he put the ball into his own net in the 70th min but Phil Jones denied Newcastle celebration when he headed home in the 73rd min from Valencia’s corner. The score remains 2-2 till full-time.
Lots of action but disappointed that they conceded two silly goals. They really need to step up in the next match against rival neighbours, Man City.
Man of the Match: Antonio Valencia

Man Utd were held 1-1 at Etihad Stadium but the match was marred by disciplinary problems with two reds being shown to Man Utd players.

Although we manage a draw with Man City but were frustrated with the two reds.
