I hope you're right for Howe's sake. I hope you're wrong for Lascelle's and Schar's sake

I mean...any team, maybe bar Man City & Chelsea, are only 1 injury away from having to play a poorer player

Agree 100%, but it should still get attention on the training field so it is in the back of the CB's heads during matches, while we wait for better players. I saw both Schar and Lascelles, completely unchallenged, with available team mates not under pressure close by head the ball needlessly up field to none specific only for us to lose possession. Even Schar and Lascelles would be able to find a team mate in those situations if they were concious about it.

The assist was anything but a goal served on a platter, and I thought both Joelinton and Shelvey did more to anonymise man utd midfield than Longstaff did. Maybe he is nailed on as you say, but I don't agree that should be the case.

The amount of times both Schar and Lascelles headed the ball completely or relatively unchallenged without even trying to aim the header at a team mate was one of the most infuriating things I noticed this match. We lost possession and invited pressure onto ourselves so many times due to this. It needs to be adressed and worked on in training.

He was ok yesterday by his own recent standards, and the pass to ASM was perfectly weighted. He did some things well, and other things still as frustrating as ever. Missing out on potential interceptions due to reacting too slowly, not getting in the right positions due to himself having an incredibly slow turn of pace, not taking shots outside of the box when he had the opportunity to do so (thus not taking advantage of one of the few good traits he has). He clearly took Howes challenge to heart and tried his best - but I don't think that was enough to guarantee a start against Everton.

We still desperately need a CM in the mould of Kamara, Sanches, Bennacer but with Joelinton cementing one of the CM positions as his own recently I don't think 2 new CM's in January is essential to stay up. More important to get a striker in due to Wilson probably being out for a long time.

Gutted for the team that they did not win that. Fucking shit goal to let in. Hope Man Utd nose dives down the table. Horrible set of players. Bunch of petulant childeren. How can anyone with good conscience support them?

If Joelinton had got to that first and scored I'm not sure what I would have done

No confidence in himself making the pass

ASM hamstring. Our January budget continually increasing by the minute here

Hendrick on for Longstaff perhaps?

Defence and keeper need to be more clear in those situations

Was just about to write it's concering how much space we give them out wide.

Fucking shit goal

We're clearly too bad to lose against for these Man Utd players who didn't feel we are worthy of putting effort in against, and now they're lashing out in frustration.

that first touch by Joelinton to break away

Someone need to take out Ronaldo. Cunt.

I think Richard Dunne turned quicker than Longstaff does

It would have been interesting to see how he plays under Howe compared to Bruce, but getting Murphy on an moving ASM up top probably is the safer bet

Joelinton and ASM comparison of effectiveness there be like that Indiana Jones scene where the ninja/samurai is doing all those tricks before Indy just shoots him.

Please be ok

Listen to this crowd man. Goosebumps just watching it through the screen.

Close!
