Ive always said we can play qhen we want to. We're just not allowed to. Id really like to just see one game where we have a bit of a go for the whole 90.

Whilst I get what you are saying Pap and respect far too much to have a go, if we had gone kamikaze and ended up being dicked 6-2 wouldn’t you be calling for Cooper’s head?

We had a go against Arsenal and didn't get slaughtered, would have been nice to have a go today with 11 players and see where we were. Look at the difference the team is when we do have a go but still look ok at the back. There maybe Joe and Scott downers on here but they are not far wrong are they.

Thought Worrall was playing well to be fair. Mckenna - I lived him in our championship campaign but he is nowhere near the level required.

Not just us then

Why would we have a go at them when we were winning?!

If rashfords is a pen - so is Bolys. Wasn’t even looked at because we ended up having a shot - add to that the wood one - have a look at it again - it’s a pen!

The loss is not a surprise but how it happened is disappointing.. played well, then stopped inviting constant pressure... Red card was.so harsh (boly on the cover) and was the penalty (Danilo desperately trying to pull out of any contact)..

No idea how the wood one was a FK to United.. replay shows wood getting a touch on the ball

Wood gets totally clattered by the keeper - not the other way round - it’s a shocking decision. Boly too - yeah he went down easy but he was pushed- rashford dived and should have been booked.

Jonno at fault for equaliser though- played them on and stopped running and set piece defending we need to be much better.
Bolys goal makes me laugh - ball just hits him in his face.
Will be interested with coopers post match comments - hope he admits we need to be better in possession and he calls out the ref / var

Man Utd are not a good side either - nowhere near top 4 on that showing.

Because we looked far more comfortable in possession and going forwards than we did trying to low block all the time. It was inevitable by giving them unto 90% possession at one point that we were going to concede.Trying to shut up shop whilst we are in front it isn't working. The top clubs when they are leading try and score more they just don't sit back and think jobs done, look At Liverpool tanking Bournmouth 9-0 last season and Leicester putting 9 past Southampton... when we were down to 10 players we didn't concede from open play did we? No we looked more like scoring than anything else. But if you are happy with anti football so be it.
