Not really being unfair. Honestly, do you really rate Dier above any of those 4 players?

I don't think we set up for a draw. That was just a very hard fought game, this is a very decent Manu managed by Mourinho, fired up after losing last week, right at it against a big rival, we are not going to be given time and space to fuck around. That game could have gone either way and an odd mistake or moment of quality would win it.

As Fergie used to say, the league is not won in September or October, but it can be lost.

It's very difficult for a club to find that belief when you've done so little for so long while the expectations are so high. It's the problem Newcastle and Everton have too. We're not going to improve in these big games until we manage to win a trophy to snap us out of the loser mentality.

Gutted, bollox, sick to me pit - pissed off and disappointed. We've been Jose'd. I'm afraid.
Look, in massive games like this you do need your massive players and a formation/system that those who come in and deputise are familiar with. Of course we missed Harry Kane - who wouldn't? But that doesn't make us a "Harry Kane " team. As last season proved in his absence.
It was Man Utd away. It was pretty Even Stevens and had Zero-Zero written all over it until that defensive lapse.
Until then Toby & Jan were immense.
5 minutes before then - Winks and the majority of our players looked visably very tired. When they went one-down they actually picked up some energy to try for the equaliser. There is no skill picking on individual players like Dier or Llorente as a reason for us losing.
Imagine if they were minus Lukaku - it would disjoint their "known" forward play. Upfront we just can't have/don't have the fluidity we normally have and see week in week out when you have the same personnel up there. Sissoko up front? I didn't get that - we were short of options. Eriksen only started to play well when he was moved to his favoured position.
One of those games I'm afraid and horribly the timing meant it was against Utd. A tough pill to swallow - but swallow we must. Barf.
COYS!

Previous seasons yes, but this season we look like we are really relying on him sadly.

Disappointed with the result but honestly not suprised. Mour. results based football, what do people expect from United?
Two shite results on the bounce with Madrid at Wemb. this Wednesday. Time to put in a shift.

A draw would have been a fair result. We were far from our best but they were so negative. How many times did they go route one ffs. If our manager played like that I’d be furious. Let’s hope Kane is back for Wednesday as we are toothless without him atm.

How does the ref blow for full time right on 3 minutes after there was a sub in injury time.
We could play another hour and still wouldn't have scored.

Whilst we might perform fantastically in games like the one against Madrid, I seriously doubt our ability to win a trophy when we have games like today, when it comes to 6 pointers like this, games where it can really make a difference we always seem to lose the plot in the PL.
We need to stop being the team that is always chasing and start being the team that is leading, this is our issue, for all the talk of how great we are, not once over the last two seasons have we occupied top spot in this league, our away record against the big 6 reads like a team from mid-table, not one that has finished 3rd and 2nd the last few seasons.

Fail to understand why we loaned out a fat lump and replaced him with an even fatter lump.

Well obviously closing a gap means the other side have to lose and we have to win more.

Problem is a lot like the poor period we had last year. We simply can't afford to have all our attacking players off form. Eriksen and Alli especially have struggled for form this year. Kane hasn't and he's been the one dragging us through. We're not a 1 man team. But we could do with a bit of luck with players coming in and out of form at the right time.

If you talk about it then you are immediately labelled a conspiracist, the refs in this league are either shit or corrupt, my money is on the former but the latter wouldn't surprise me either.

Lack of fluency in midfield. Same disjointed shit that we saw against West Ham.
And Aurier? Fuck me, he needs to buck his ideas up.
