    He hasn't come out since pre season. It's like he's been told to stay back. It's baffling

    Yeah, a better finisher easily passes that in. Bizarre goalkeeping even if it did work out
     
    Wonder if De Gea is willing to do our classic post-match apology interview. Otherwise we may need to roll out Luke Shaw form the treatment room
     
    When a winger goes down the byline and cuts back there's only one area the cut back can go and yet nobody anticipated it

    At some point we have to start looking at our supposed stars. Bruno and Rashford are just all over the damn place.

    I’m starting to sound a right miserable sod but I’ve had enough of these players, how can we not have a defined way of playing where everyone knows their positions and the players around them. We just throw 11 players out there and let them do what the want. Disgraceful.

    Only 5 teams in the league have a worse goal difference than us.

    Last season our goal difference was negative for half of it. I always felt like GD is a better barometer for the quality of a team than anything else. Feck knows how we finished 3rd. We were appalling since February
     
    So much money wasted and we are one of the worst teams in the league. What the feck is Ten Hag doing?

    We basically played with two strikers independent of each other today, rather than a partnership.

    Yeah but Hojlund would actually look for people in better positions when he got the ball. Rashford just isn't interested in doing anything except shooting 90% of the time. It's fine when he's scoring but there's far too many games when this approach will lose us points/potential goals.
     
    Ten Hag failed to put Garnacho or Pellistri in a position to succeed today. This falls on the manager and the players.

    Literally schoolboy stuff. The mighty Brighton have managed to pull it off several times in this game
     
    Good cutback from Pellistri, but then we have three players occupying the same area with no one on the edge of the box anticipating said cutback.

    Oh look, Brighton's wide players pass the fecking ball to their teammates in the box! What a wild idea! Quick, someone take notes of this novel, revolutionary concept! Let's sign a forward only to have one winger shoot 99/100 times and on the opposite flank, we have Scott McTominay who had about seven passes the entire first half. Breathtaking stuff.

    It took a bit of class and courage from a youngster that rarely even features to get us on the scoresheet. Moments FC, baby.

    It’s almost like they care more about winning than getting the goal themselves.

    9 points behind City after 5 games. Really really shocking.

    We’re in an era where we are nowhere near City. They are a club plucked from obscurity and pumped with billions generated elsewhere. We are a club plucked from extreme success and milked for the billions that generated. Should have accepted that by now.
     
    Well that was a deserved loss. Second best for that whole half, and the team just looked disjointed and clueless.
