Not a bad first half, lucky goal conceded and a fucking keeper playing out of his skin.

With Yanited leading we could ask for no better opportunity.

For me Rose is holding onto the ball too long, Eriksen pretty ineffective and Son has offered very little.

Poch better read this lot the riot act at half time, this just isn't good enough.

What exactly have they done wrong other than put the ball in the net? They've pressed well. Been dynamic. Carved out chances.

And their goal was a deflection that wrong footed the entire defence.

It's hardly like we've come out slow or complacent - or not putting a shift in. We're doing everything but scoring. It happens.

We have had FOUR 100% clear-cut goal scoring chances and duffed all of thtem. Son's was by far the worst though. He's been very poor in the league for some time. 33 million pounds for Njie and Son and only 2 league goals and 1 assist between them. Not good enough and it's only not been talked about because of our results.
The stat doesnt tell you the amount of time both have been injured though, do they?

i dont think son and lamela can play the same team. Both are too erratic. Personally i would take 1 off for Mason and move Eriksen further up.

Lamela been our most creative player that half imo, not sure about him being erratic. Played some lovely balls

Hardly a surprise is it that another keeper has a game of their life at WHL! COYS we can turn this round but need a quick start

Look at the United goals today, Rashford has real energy behind what he does ala. Kane. We haven't tested Fabianski with any real conviction.

Dare I say we look a bit tired?

They don't look tired, they're getting into good positions and playing with more urgency in the final third (thankfully), it's just bad finishing.

Swansea can't stop anything.

You look at that Swansea team and it really isn't great.

Big HT talk from Poch, and any adjustments that need to be made. Has to get them much more fired up for the second half if we want to have any chance of winning this.

Lets be honest, this should of been one of our easier fixtures left - anything but a win will be hugely disappointing and, unfortunately, probably significant.
Hugely significant, we fail to win this we might as well just be written off for the title and frankly if United win we will be looking over our shoulders.

Think longer this season goes on, the more I believe Trippier and Davies should be our league full back pairing.

Would say they are better both offensively and defensively atm. Especially Davies.

Harsh, they have both had injuries, particularly Njie.

We've done more than enough to be ahead, so stop all this silly bollocks over reacting.

At least wait for us to lose before you throw yourself off the cliff.

Our bench is stacked with talent and can change the game. There's also loads of tactical shifts that Poch can make.

I can't see us losing.

It was a good cross from Rose at the end but generally speaking we get very little from Rose and Walker, would have much preferred Trippier and Davies in a game like this to be honest.

Fans falling into the trap that we should easily beat any side again?

Fair play to Swansea so far but the game isn't over and this could easily end up being a game we win 3-1 and everyone ranting looking pretty stupid.

The lads are creating chances and getting into the right positions. Keep it up and we will score a few.

No complaints on performance, they got a total fluke goal and we've dominated and created good chances. Just no luck today
For 10 minutes there it felt like I wasn't watching a live match. It was just a highlight reel of spurs creating chances.

Really odd to go into half time losing.
