Totally disagree, we win that match if not for one brain dead piece of defending. United didn’t create an equaliser they were gifted it.

They created quite few great openings. Most snuffed out by Dier.

And I disagree about the "braindead defending". Dier got done by a lovely piece of skill but his recovery and attempt to go with Pogba was good defending imo. I look at the replay and still can't see how Pogba's fouled there.

Not been Dier's biggest fan for a while but he was great tonight. Did not deserve that outcome (Dier - the result was probably fair overall)

Thought it was a fair enough result. John Moss was desperate to give them both penalties though wasn’t he.

Moss more than desperate, this is so blatantly appallingly biased (ideally id use a word begining with 'ch') He needs to be stripped of his duties. How much did Manure put in his coffers?

Not being funny but bruno and bergwijn came in at the same time and done more in open play meanwhile all I ever hear about is the bruno revolution from 12 yards.

I really don't think we pay enough attention to the mentality of the players we buy.

I really hope Ndombele makes it with us i really do. And I won't pretend to know about the guys approach and application to the game.

But I will say this. Bruno Fernandes is an absolute winner. The profile of player we should have bought whatever the price.

Said it before the game, no options to change the game up front. Cant help but feel we would have benefited more taking Kane and Son off and leaving Lamela and Bergwijn on as they seemed much more threatening.

Can understand Ndombele not coming on when we made the changes but you had to bring him on on the last ten surely?

Positives are Dier looked excellent besides the soft penalty and his leadership at the back will be huge as we rebuild the defence over the next few seasons. Bergwijn looked really good at both ends of the pitch. Sissoko makes a huge difference to our team.

Also Hugo deserves praise, been awful this season but made some really good stops and was nice to see the aggressive side to him when Aurier started pissing about.

He is more talented, but from what I've seen his application and been piss poor. I really hope he's turned a corner, but if he hasn't he shouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11.

I wanted him on earlier but once we dropped back it was clearly not his game.

West Ham will suit him more as we can get higher up the pitch and won't require him to screen as much.

I hope you're right but we can't afford any passengers off the ball, particularly in the engine room. It's so infuriating that such a world class talent can't do the basic things like tracking a man. I hope he can apply himself.

So do we know if Lucas is fit for Tuesday? If so I'd seriously consider resting Kane and bringing him on as a sub for 30 minutes a game until he's match fit.

I love the guy as much as everyone else, but if him starting is going to be to the detriment of the team, like it was tonight, I'd rather we eased him back in. His time will come but it wasn't tonight, and it won't be on Tuesday.

Our style of play didn't really change in the 2nd half, we just had no outlet because our attackers were completely spent. Hopefully they will get fitter, but my concern is they (Kane especially) will just pick up further injuries.

I'm optimistic about it as they are coming from the different end of the spectrum.

Previously they'd both been returning from injury then playing extensive runs of games with no break in between as they'd go off on international duty.

Kane was getting back to fitness before lockdown, so was Son, therefore they have had time to heal and build their fitness up without the rigours of competitive games.

Now they need to play more games to get sharpness back.
