Great decision to leave Kane on until the 88th minute last week.

We missed him so much today, no-one could hold the ball up and we had zero goal threat.

If Wanyama, Sanchez, Vertongen and Alderweild are all healthy, I never want to see Dier starting again in a match like this. His value is tied up in being a primary backup to all 4 but individually he’s not as good as any of them.

Probably thinking of what he'll say to Mourinho after the game. I think you're being unfair on Dier. And just to put you in the picture, I do not particularly like him.

Scrappy game decided by a bit of laziness by Dier who had been playing well but didn't repay Pochs faith in starting him over Davinson, turned out that was a mistake.

It's games like that where you can see why we don't win trophies. When it comes to the crunch the players don't really believe

But it is the end of the title race to lose at Old Trafford, at home to Chelsea and only draw at home to Swansea and Burnley, all by the end of October. Our results have regressed badly from last season. That's unacceptable.

So much for those saying we will beat this United team easily

The difference is Mourinho teams always know how to get a result in the big games whereas we don't

United spend the last 3 mins wasting time and made a sub and yet no added time after the 3 mins whatsoever.

Truth be told, we were poor and didn't deserve to win anyway, neither did United but you know, they did and that is the difference right there.

Honestly disappointed, knocked out of a cup and a legitimate chance of winning a trophy because of arrogance and now have lost to United.

I hate football.

Decent effort from most of the lads, disappointed with Eriksen, needed him to step up in Kane's absence but, one good pass aside, thought he was really poor.

In a game of few chances, it was a shame a defensive mistake cost us the game.

We lacked creating any chances. The goal we conceded was due to losing possession so easily and very poor defending by Dier.

What's really dissapointed me today is Eriksen's lack of quality on the ball. With all his time on the ball he hasn't created much, bar 1 excellent ball to Alli.

Verts had a moment of sleep walking and we got punish

Is it just me or do we look like a team that has no idea how to cross for Llorente? We bring a huge tall target man on and we play around the box..i dont get it

We had no width. We need some actual direct pace, Mane type player. We are overloaded with no.10's and no width. Llorente should have started, Son and Erikson wide of him. Got it completely wrong for me today. And all our players, the only team member they kept finding with a pass was Lloris, who just can not kick at all. I'd ban them from passing back to him.

Mate I normally agree with a lot of what you say but we are not better than Utd it's between Utd and city for the league imo, our away form at the top six is too timid until that is addressed we won't achieve much.

We're a better team than manure, mate.

City will run away with he league.

Manure will struggle against teams who are as physical as they are come the latter part of the season when the stakes are higher all round.
