we got to be honest here, Kane is bad, did you not see him limping and pain he was in, you could see it from his face.
we wont know nothing today as Poch will relay his usual we have to asses him but he is out for a few weeks min, if same ankle as his normal probably out til March.
We are bang in trouble if we don't strengthen, TBH missing out on top 4 may give Levy the kick he deserves for how he has treated fans this year.

Yep, that tactical naivety again. Davies sitting deeper in the second half made a massive difference IMO, don't know how it took so long to have at least one of the fullbacks sitting deeper to aid in counter attacks.

Tactically naive? Nothing to do with it. Trippier gave the ball away in a dangerous position and they just hit on us on the counter.

You can set your tactics however you want but if players make silly errors or just don't finish chances then there is not much you can do.

Kane injured, Sissoko injured and Son off to the Asian games.

We’re so fucked.

Still no signings this month hey.

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.

Having said that we were a bit too open in that first half and should have been more wary of the counter attack. I think we'd have won that game had we have not gone in behind. Our finishing may have been a bit cooler.

Honestly it's fucking arrogance to be playing such nonchalant passes in those positions again and again. People are defending it and can't see they've had to defend the same stupid errors 4-5 times this season.

Most frustrating defeat of the season. Stupid goal to give away and then we could have got a bucketful with better finishing.

United are really not any better based on that. Their attack was still so so and their defence is still shite.

Lol this May sound a little RAWKish but that would be 4-1 on another night

It's not RAwkish, you're bang on.

Fine lines in abundance though, unfortunately.

As they say what separates the winners from the losers is the score. I know one game/match doesn't make or break a season but today just screams missed opportunity in more ways than one! :ROFLMAO: :)

Just that trippier was under no pressure had time to pick a pass, his teammates had pushed up believing he would not give it away given he was under no pressure. Just said it was a bad pass. Also mentioned we played well and de gea is a great keeper using his feet and footwork.
He was under pressure and he had Lamela and Winks in the middle square of him twiddling their thumbs instead of giving him and easy option. He still shouldn't have played the pass he tried.

Not really, Utd got in twice before and couldn't finish, we had the same problems against Liverpool.

So is Poch going to finally wake up and realise that Trippier is a bag of shite this season? Probably not!

Nobody should be defending Trippier. He does it time and again. He’s out of excuses now.
