Agreed. Although they did have a 10-15 minute spell after the penalty when we lost control, but that was all. No need for panic at all and pleasing to see that the a lot of fans are seeing that too.
Just looked at slow motion at Luke- did he fall over his own foot? I think Clasie pulled him which may have caused it so defo a pen, but I think he fell over himself? On a good day to that may not have been given?
Did very little with our possession, toward the end thats true. If it was a boxing match ManU spent the last 20 with their arms by their sides just ducking and weaving. I thought he had a pretty good game against some tough opposition. Bertrand still has a good edge over Targett but he was winning as much as he was losing in defence and his forward movement was good. If he can hold his own at Old Trafford he'll do alright.
Need another forward badly - we lack quality up there (Pelle/Mane). We did OK tonight, but we could've got something if we had a wee bit more quality up there.
Not sure why, he was trying to make things happen SD though he was the man, close a couple of times but s couple of sloppy passes
Oh so a Worldie has to happen for a chance to be considered. We created a chance that lead to Tadic heading in from an offside position. Is that not creating chance? Long was through on goal with one covering defender at 0-0. Also at -0-0 Redmond cut in and didn't find an unmarked Tadic at the far post. Now you can go ahead and look at stats, but I prefer to look at what I saw with my eyes and they were chances created. On another day we are 2-0 up before they get the first. Didn't happen, but I won't stick my head in the sand and ignore that play.
A few people getting upset for the very reasons they should be pleased. We were very much in that game. I watched most of the game on mute - try it - and found myself surprised by the amount of ball we had and the slick passing we produced. The final decisions were 99% wrong - but on another night they will be 50% right and we will bag a goal or two. However, we earned the right to make those wrong decisions. That United team is going to be scary good. I don't think the double pivot would have made much difference, really - except had us sitting even further back.
Dare i look on sw We played well for large parts of the match.2 mistakes cost us. Better teams than us will not play that well at old trafford. #WEMARCHON
Redmond scuffed a shot too. The one thing that I think Clasie did really wrong was shoot when we had an overlap of about three players.
Crikey, don't any of you guys remember when we would often get tonked for six or seven at OT. Today sloppy for the two goals, but for most of the time we were controlling the game, we just need to become a bit more incisive. P.S thought Jay looked good with that one run
Martial had a couple because Cedric turns sideways when he is tracking the player showing them inside all the time and then reacts slowly when they have done so. At the risk of attack from everyone I would say that we should be using the business model and sell him while his stock is high because I can't see it rising, if anything it will fall. Bids starting at £10m SELL SELL SELL. I want my Martina back. lol
