Even got a fortunate equaliser before half time. Just no conviction, no quality, no belief. Getting wazzed on by De Bruyne and Son is fine, but United are terrible. We barely even threw a punch second half. |  |

So pi$$ed right now on 23:10 - Feb 26 with 847 views | Rozz | The 3rd goal killed us. Anyone with half a brain knows that if you give a team with defenders of their quality a lead with 10 men we were going to struggle. Looked scared to cross against McGuire / DeLigt all night. I don't particularly buy the discredit of the 2nd half, you just can't give 10 men a lead to defend with the disparity in quality. Was the same in league 1 + championship against much lesser defenders. You will not concede 3 set pieces and win in this league. |  | |  |

Teams are bright enough to work out how to negate the 11 v 10. If they leave Greaves and O’Shea alone, who are never going to hurt them with the ball, they even have a man advantage to defend the rest. That’s why you have to commit people with conviction, and throw a little caution to the wind. We didn’t. |  |

I'd argue we did with the changes, but just didn't show the quality. I don't disagree with the overall point that teams with defenders worth more than the majority of our squad can find a way to neutralise the extra man. The 3rd gave them something to sit on rather than taking any risks of their own with a home crowd that would've been baying. |  | |  |
So pi$$ed right now on 00:50 - Feb 27 with 653 views | gainsboroughblue | We seem incapable of taking any sort of opportunity to help ourselves. Southampton at home, a team who had mustered a mere 6 points that season- No. A very poor Man Utd, down to ten men and going into half-time having just levelled- nada, diddly squat, conceded another soft set piece goal practically from the kick off and could still be out there now and not have scored. We aren't growing into the season, we are getting worse and the confidence is draining the supporters. I just want this season finished. |  |

Don’t take opportunities and tend to chuck away hard earned ones when on the cusp of taking them too. |  |
