One poor pass didn't make the goal anything close to a gift and he was arguably our best player in the 2nd half.
I have no words

With son going we would be in big trouble. Hope Kane recovers quickly.If that is Kanes ankle again, that is the season over IMO
We have no-one who can step in with Son going too.
fearful for these next few weeks
Levy really is going to cost us this year with thinking this bare bone squad can last a season
Souness talking sense
That’s just a cop out in my opinion. This isn’t the first time, we have fundamental issues in terms of being clinical in the vast majority of these huge pressurised games. I don’t know what the answer is but it was pretty obvious we weren’t going to score as we’ve seen it all before. Yes we played well to create all these efforts but it just is symbolic and one of the big reasons we are that notch below as a football team.
He had an outstanding day, there is nothing standard about pulling off 11 saves like that in one match. Maybe each individual save was so-so, but to do the whole bunch of them in the same match, on an aggregated level, that is a worldie.Please stop with the De Gea worldie nonsense they were all bog standard saves apart from the Alderweireld one.

Hardly. They won't keep winning every game. And today they had a) a lot of luck, and b) we let them carry out their (predictable) plan for half the match with no response.
I mean, you have to lose to ball to be countered on. Phase of transition is just the hipsters way of saying counter attack.I don't know about that. The first half was very even, and we were actually on top at the point they scored. We let the goal in because of a poor decision. Partly actually down to Sissoko going off and our failure to re adjust. Its important to note, we didn't concede on the counter attack, we conceded on a phase of transition.
In any case with better finishing it wouldn't of been a issue, Man Utd couldn't contain us, they hang on. We should have done better, but overall we largly played pretty well, which makes it very frustrating.
Look at the individual saves and pick out the ones he had no right to make...He had an outstanding day, there is nothing standard about pulling off 11 saves like that in one match.
Posting utter bollocks again because you can't cope with disappointment. Never change Steve, never changeChoking when we had the chance to capitalise again. Never change spurs. Never change
It's because players like Trippier have a lapse of concentration in them far too often. I realise it's harsh but this team wont win anything until we have a squad who can concentrate throughout. Trippier had an easy pass to make (Toby) but took a risk in a position we couldn't afford to.This leaves me more frustrated than the Wolves game. Why the fuck couldn't they start the game like they started the second half?
Poch keeps talking about it and some of the players seem to have picked up on in, but some of them just mentally lapse and it keeps fucking costing us.
Like most sports football is/can be a game of fine margins and yet again we come up short at both ends of the pitch.
Now add in what looks like one, maybe two injuries to key members of the first eleven and the second half of the season will mean the squad could be stretched, for a period, to breaking point. Hopefully they aren't long term injuries, but short to medium term, it could fuck us.
Fingers crossed and on to the next game, but fuck it, I feel like a balloon with a slow puncture this evening.
