That was far more of a push from Carlos than Joelinton’s one yesterday

And I accept that Man U aren’t currently in the top half but they’ve not finished below it for thirty odd seasons

For two top-half sides this is as bad as it gets in terms of quality

Rashford terminally offside during that break, so poor

Maguire’s such a dunce

This game is so poor, constant turnovers

Think they’re a particularly angry and bitter set of fans. Might come from being in Liverpool’s shadow for so long

No need to panic, and, should the worst happen and they lose 5-0 then I think a long hard look in the mirror should sort it all out

If he’s stayed fit after leaving us he’d have had a great career. Left foot was immense and head was as good as it gets, great physical strength too

Was a decent cameo and important to have fresh legs. Hope he can keep coming on and playing well as he can help the squad a lot that way

I completely agree that it’s absurd that we aren’t playing with a striker at the moment. To have three on our books and not be able to field one shows we’ve messed up in the transfer window. We could have sold Wilson in January for money and although it’s easier to say it in hindsight I think there were decent numbers who thought it was sensible to try and sell then. Isak I think has largely been unlucky with his injuries, he’s not a crock by any means but he does seem a little delicate

He can’t hit a standing ball with pace, doesn’t ever shoot through his laces, always curls side footed. It can work if there’s pace on the ball already but he can’t generate otherwise. Hopefully we see less shots like yesterday’s from now on as it’s just a waste

Not going to argue against the fact that we’re poor at converting chances (Barnes aside) in open play and we’re very poor with final balls too often. That doesn’t alter the fact we created good chances yesterday, we did

Bruno had a shot from eight yards where he was free, Gordon headed it back to Jow when he was five yards out. We had a penalty, we had Gordon’s miss 1 on 1. There were other ones as well but those were all very good chances

I have no idea why he was playing on the left and less of an idea why he came off after Barnes

He’s always been better than Murphy. Murphy can cross a ball and has pace but Miggy is way better at defending, way better at pressing, significantly better at carrying the ball. Miggy is very frustrating because he can’t cross the ball and is desperate to be on his left foot but he’s far more use to us when we’re pressing teams well than Murphy

One of the very best in the league at it. Who’s better in central defence in the league? Guehi is a very good passer from there but I can’t think of many players that rival him on the pass

Our press was excellent, we won the ball back countless times in their half. That was much improved. We transitioned out of defence and midfield into wide positions far quicken than we have done away from home all season and during last season. This meant we had more promising positions and weren’t just ponderously attacking against rows of players. Our movement was generally much improved as well with Gordon running in behind and other players getting in behind. I’ll happily agree that our final pass and finishing was abysmal

Charlotte FC for £6m was it?

I completely agree there’s been a trend to our away performances for ages. They’ve been awful. Today was nothing like most of our away performances in the last 16 months

Agree with all of this

I’ve given up arguing this, think some people just want to be negative

There was nothing wrong with our tactics or intent in that game. We looked back to our best at pressing away from home. It’s not Eddie’s fault we can’t finish

It’s really gone up a few levels since the takeover. There used to be lots to be miserable about so it was often justified but people going on like that was a terrible performance when the only issue was finishing and final balls is a joke. Of course it’s frustrating as fuck we threw away a lot of good opportunities but the fitness levels, passing triangles, movement, press and tactics were hugely improved today

Just your typical N-O post when we don’t claim three points
