The fact there are comments about small margins making the difference show how we are competing.
We never looked to be hanging on, just weren't clinical enough
It was a lesson in the first half hour, the fact that Reg spotted this, changed it and brought us back into the game was massively positive, we could have gone the other way and had a pasting.
If there’s a concern it’s the lack of goals, but we spotted that was going to be an issue early. If Dan scores that header, and is back big Dan to bury that 9 out of 10 times, the second half is different game.
Traore was really busy and direct, needs to do more tracking back. there’s a balance to be found going forward that hasn’t quite clicked and that is all we really need to get right.
With the Dan and Talbi chances we should have had 2 though so individual misses can happen, and again we need to look at that positive aspect.
Their second goal wasn’t like us too many lads got sucked to ball but overall it’s another performance with no major shame or concerns. The facts are it’s a poor Man United but they still have multiple top quality players and we competed, as we have all season bar Burnley.
Wipe our chins and move on. We are gonna lose some games, especially away, and it wasn’t a worrying defeat or performance in truth.
Roefs and Xhaka again just look key to everything. Geertruida may well get a game RB soon.
