We can easily draw this, which is still a shit result considering how open the game is and the quality we have on, but I'd take it.

Yeah he's a better crosser than Aurier sure, but Serge is a far more competitive defender who makes less mistakes at the back. It makes sense to go for Trips against teams who are coming for a point, but surely if available Aurier would be more suited to this game.

Aurier makes a shedloads of mistakes, including often giving away stupid free kicks.

How many points do we have from losing positions this season in the PL? I don't think it is very many.

Some of you sound like opposition fans. Just sayin. Trippier is poor in a back 4, he's not a natural defender and was culpable for the goal. However, he is a much better player in a defensive 5. He isn't half the absurd names he's been labelled though. Played into United's hands really.

Surely this was a game for 3 at the back. Especially given we have no midfielders

We’d need Rose and Sanchez on for that to work, then we’d have no subs left and we looked fucked as it is

Playing a high line with slow cd and full backs is suicidal against fast forwards. If utd know what they are doing they could tear us apart second half.

How did Poch and his asisstants not see this happening?

Its like when we all knew Davies would get destroyed by Mane and Salah a while back and lo and behold, he did.

Real questionable decisions from such a good coach

Utd just looking to catch us out with their pace. And to be fair they have done.

I still think we look the better team so we are no way out of this. We are a bit light in the middle now so we do need to keep the ball better.

Oh come on you can’t blast others for criticism when you can’t even admit he’s been awful this half.
Some of the personal criticism on here is OTT, but he’s generally been piss poor this season

If Sissoko is out for a stretch we really need to get a CM this window

Its the same as against Liverpool, we cannot play this high against pace! We should have the back three with Eriksen and Winks in front!

We probably need 3 goals to win this, with shit full backs and no midfield don’t fancy it’s on I’m afraid, upgrades overdue, if we had ambitiin like Liverpool in the summer we could be talking title, instead like Arsenal our challenge is CL no more, let’s hope Sissoko back soon or 5th is on

Now is the time to Pochettino to prove himself... we need a tactical change asap

Don't really see what there is now. We need to hope Solskjaeer is naive and doesn't change much. If they get their defence right while keeping two of the pace merchants up they'll win.

To be fair, I think they've played very well. They're the away team, they've kept the play in our half a lot and have looked very dangerous on the break, eventually scoring. Tactically we've played straight into their hands.

Miss the days of Walker when an RB brain fart was usually kicking it out for a throw by accident and shouting at yourself, not taking 9 players out of the game with a suicide square ball.
