Need to terrorise that midget
Need to terrorise that midget Martinez at set pieces Hopefully Balon will have his number. Good strong team.
Jesse Linguard
I think we dodged a bullet there. At fault for Arsenal’s first goal also fluffed two decent chances.
A free kick in the opposition
A free kick in the opposition half and two passes later the ball finds Fabianski. Really??

For first foul they don't get one after 3
Benhrama in nutshell. Great
Benhrama in nutshell. Great in middle of park, panics anywhere near box.
We have made them look good
If the opposition are much better than you then you have to acknowledge it, but if you gift them the ball they don’t even have to work hard. Possession, go forward, create chances. How hard is that?
True. Downes? All he's doing
True. Downes? All he's doing is passing ball to rice while standing three feet from him. Come on lads have more belief before 65 rips into you
Hope you've washed
Behind your ears,half term ends today!
Still
No yellow for MU
This is better. Moving
This is better. Moving forward asking questions of Man United. Why couldn’t we do this from the start?

So unlucky yet again,we are a match for anyone,and our league position dosent do us justice.
Another away day where we
Another away day where we have come away empty handed when we deserved something. That's why we are not a top 6 team. Nothing less than y points from Leicester & Palace games.
yes agree
so frustrating did every thing in 2nd half but hit the back of the net 2 great saves from De Gea so just got to keep on going c.o.y.i
How we didn't
Come away with a point I will never know
Didn’t see it, no longer have
Didn’t see it, no longer have Sky.. kicked into touch before departing for Aus but.. all my mates are saying we were brilliant today and unlucky. There keeper was outstanding!
Will some one tell me what
Will some one tell me what Souchec bring to the club ?,cant see why he's in the team at all .
Heading
Attack but more recently defense but get your point Burkie, he’s well off the level we saw in the first 2 seasons .. lack of tackles, interceptions and more importantly goals!
Maybe the same can be stain for Fornals, little impact in the game
Soucek
And Rice have swapped roles. And its not working. Soucek is no longer a goal scoring threat and Rice never has been
What makes me laugh
Is Downes is getting more grief for 1 so called poor game but souscek is a shadow of the great player he was but apparently is a necessity...
Says who? Downes looked out
Says who? Downes looked out of depth yesterday sadly. He will improve though. I found his positioning bizarre tbh. Standing right next to rice. Soucek was better than downes yesterday. People moan about soucek simply coz he's become the defensive shield rather than an am. I guess if you're not getting forward n having shots you get branded as useless. Perhaps he's been told to play that role so rice can get forward? Btw the officials robbed us twice on ball over the line calls. Anyone remember the goal greenwood was it scored...when man u ball was clearly miles out of play?
Have to agree with Mad Dog here
Downes was ineffective yesterday as was Soucek but this is all down to Moyes and his tactics and consistent playing of players out of position or not doing the jobs they excel at. I actually thought Downes was bought as a long term replacement for Rice which would work quite well, allowing Soucek to play his normal marauding game so why all three are playing together baffles me.
What with Cresswell, Johnson, Kehrer or Coufal consistantly passing backwards or sideways, Scamacca is coming too far back in search of the ball instead of being in the box for the crosses which rarely come.I can see Scamacca getting tarred with the same brush as Haller at this rate as he now looks a lonely lost figure on the field.
Bowen is off the boil leaving Benrahma as our only player looking like getting anything moving but as the other teams have sussed this he is invariably confronted by three sometimes four defenders.
Soucek, Rice and Downes should never have started together. One of them should have made way for either Lanzini or Antonio and started the game on the front foot.
And by the way. Am I the only one slowly going off Kehrer?
I agree with all of that Deluded
It's down to moyes playing downes & souscek in the same role. Souscek was a great player when he was going forward & getting in the box,he hasn't done that for a long,long time doesn't mean he's useless but also doesn't mean he should start if he's been poor for so long!! I agree downes is a defending midfielder rather than an attacking one,yes we were unlucky yesterday but like deluded says the passing sideways & backwards is tedious! Hopefully when 2 pints & Cornet come back they will get the best out of Scamacca! As for their goal there was only one person getting that header & it certainly wasnt Kehrer
I think we'd gotten points
I think we'd gotten points from Liverpool n united if pacqueta and cornet had been fit.
We still have no real
We still have no real penetration, im getting sick of watching Bowen on the ball trying to be another Grealish, running at defender's and 9 out of 10 times loosing the ball ,Benny doesnt seem to be the player we hoped for ,and deluded ,where are you getting soucec and marauding from?,when was the last time you actually saw him running with the ball and taking on people?,he still gets into the box for corners but doesnt seem a threat anymore .
Dont get me wronge, i thought they played well yesterday and it was a good match,its just that i think Moyes playes a damage limitations exercise at the big boys stadium s ,we made them look good yesterday and should have come away with some thing .
Soucek
Scored 10 Premier League goals in his first full season for us when Rice was used as the main defending midfielder which is one less than Rice has got in over 190 games. So far this season and the whole of last season where he has been sacrificed to allow Rice to go forward more he still has 4 goals more than Declan which suggests to me that something isn't working. As you rightly point out, you don't see Soucek running with the ball and taking people on as his goals were almost Martin Peters style in ghosting in from nowhere. I see a lot of Rice running forward and taking people on, not that it seems to be doing the team much good, eh?
I hate the way this team seem
I hate the way this team seem to be able to always get 3 points against us despite them being absolute shit
