That performance, similar to the Burnley one, offers little hope that this is simply a dip in form, other than perhaps Dawson the whole team looked completely clueless today. It's looking like it's gonna be a long second half of the season. MOM is going to be interesting, personally I couldn't pick three players out from that lot today!
I suspect he probably isn't but he is tactically naive. With suspect goalkeeping, why sit back and invite the opposition on and with United's quality going forward, that was inviting the inevitable. As others have said, United's weakness is at the back so perhaps we should have had a go at them? The fact we cannot retain possession doesn't help.
Crystal Palace would of got a point from that, and if just a little more possession all 3. Edit. there should have been a smiley at the end of that not what i was thinking of but it will do for now
It's Curtis Davies who's looking like the worry to me. He's gone from being our best player, to pretty much our worst. He looks like he's just taking the piss now. We need a team of 11 Michael Dawson's. Man up Curtis.
Ben Arfa was awful today. And I speak as a massive fan of his. When he is not prepared to put in the effort and effectively gives up he is a liability. Well done SB for pulling him off before half time. Curtis Davies looks half the player he was last season. Why? Elmo. What's happened?
