If we are stinking, what exactly is worrying folk in that Man U side? Outside of Martial's pace, I don't see much to worry about on that side of the field... Cue 6-0 defeat

Made that mistake too

I'd go: Dubravka Livramento Lascelles Schar Targett Longstaff Bruno Joelinton Tindall Gordon Hall

He punched a wet ball in a crowded area to almost 30 yards out. I'd blame Bruno, Gordon, and Longstaff more for that goal in the next phase of play. All three were poor in their individual and collective attempt to tackle. Then again, they're probably and understandably shattered and running on empty. Pope has been fantastic recently and he did little wrong today in my opinion.

Soaking wet night, punched it well. The fanny-like tackling from Bruno and Longstaff was worse. Half-arsed stuff.

Some of that defending man! piss poor, schoolyard stuff. We've been blowing out of arses since 35mins.

Trippier looks knackered, Burn has had a shocker.

Agree, probably his best game, but needs to toughen up a bit and but his body on the line - should be doing better and blocking that shot.

Just for context Iove the guy, but he's misfiring and has been a long time now. I hope the bump in pay get's him back to the player he was.

I'd hate Ashley back, not sure what your point is. Sorry mate, I'll not mention his poor form over the last 18months... maybe 25 was an exaggeration, but his form since last Christmas has been no where near a player with a 100m value...that's facts. Not stating to be an expert, it seems like no one can have an opinion on here without ridicule, maybe it's because I'Oregon Geordie', but actually from Newburn and been going to games since 1985... I'll retreat to the corridors of silence again... my apologies Shearergol.

100m but to anyone outside the EPL, I'm fine. Fuck selling him to a rival. On the last 12 months of form, he's worth about 25m.

Our midfield is woefully imbalanced and disconnected. It's neither producing or shielding very well. We're one cute ball from being cut wide open and lack any guile in there ourselves.

Say's alot about our midfield. Missing Willock big time. Zero connection with the striker.

Probably because he's the only one in midfield that gets there, without Big Joe or Willock. Still shite mind!

Tonali did absolutely zero tonight, Longstaff is limited but done far more than Tonali to stay on.

Some of our players look fucking confused...

Missing that Big Joe, fast Joe combo in Midfield...Big time!

Smash and grab all over this....Isak on 89mins

Good Subs!

He's been too passive in general. I'd keep him on the wing or behind wilson.

Tend to agree tbh. Longstaff will get the shite but he looks lost, again.

Exactly what Marsch just said on TV, Bruno being man marked. Tonali a little lost, in transition and tracking. Onwards and upwards. Hopefully Eddie can unlock it all.

Jessie Marsch nailing it on Paramount. Tonali is lost defensively, Bruno is being man marked.

Expected this, but still in it... Isak needs to get more involved - as he did the last 8-10mins Tonali needs to play with more urgency and get back in shape defensively quicker - too often wandering back as they break. Burn - time to drop out. The rest - doing ok...other than some scary moments of pressure...

FFS Burn. I love the guy but he needs to be on the bench. Dreadful.
