put your foot on the ball, get some possession, take some pressure off. we will concede again if not.

Getting to deep already. Need to just start the press a bit sooner. Letting to many on the midfielders get forward and get around our defence.

Hmm. Hard to assess that half. We look terrible but led 2-0.

Aye, horrendous to watch. No idea how we're leading but need to improve on the ball if it's to stay that way

We will be better with a new LCB... McKenna is weak at this level....

We were much better in the few occasions where we kept the ball a bit. Johnson looks dangerous. Need to keep hold of the ball better though

Cooper needs to tell the players to look up and see what's on before we make rash passes. So many times they've just given the ball away when there is a pass on.

We are much better in possession than of late, but yes a lot of sloppy passing. Mckenna..., ponderous, get a grip please. Awoniyi did a decent job stopping the MG W shot unfortunately. we cannot defend giving away 80-90% possession and not expect to concede. We need to play slightly higher up the pitch and after 60 minutes exploit the gaps Utd will leave in behind as they press for the equalizer. Elangers pace will  take its toll and a fairy tale goal on return to Old Trafford will do nicely.

Here's hoping. 

McKenna just isn't up to it, buy he's plugging a gap.unyil reinforcements arrive.
