Town played more like a team today , but same same same old problem up front.
The scoreline did not sum up the game as could have easily been 4-4

Love how Flo jogs towards Pogba, stops, turns round then puts his hands on his hips like a petulant fucking child. Awful player in any position. Never a midfielder, and why persist playing wingbacks when we have no wingbacks. Can’t remember which goal it was but watch him for the one they score from the corner (2nd goal?) He’s simply got no idea how to play football. We’re playing games with 9 men and turning it into 8 with our subs...how are we supposed to have a chance?

Positives today:
Return of 4231 Mbenza looked far better (probably due to the above) with a good display of pace which we drastically lack Creating 'clear cut' chances away at Old Trafford
Negatives:
Worrying lack of composure/decision making (Kongolo chance, Billing shooting rather than passing to Depoitre) Lack of effort and commitment when trying to block the Pogba shots like we had given up. These were barely even half chances and they turned into goals.
Its simple. Acquire 2-3 forward players better than what we currently have and we have a chance.

normal service resumed absolutely rubbish! Clearly can't separate performance from results. Need to get away from this performance business, we still lost, performances don't get you points. In all honesty only the most crazy and optimistic if Town fans would have hoped for a win today. That's 6 defeats in a row, bottom of the league and two wins from safety. January can't come soon enough to get in some reinforcements.

I feel we got alot more of a performance than anybody expected today ,and feel M O T D will highlight those easy chances missed as our ongoing downfall.
3-0 was not a true reflection of the game,and next game Fulham are no Man Utd

Someone else spotted it as well, the second goal, he turns his back instead of attacking the ball - I do think Flo is a weak link in an otherwise decent side. TV commentators continually bigging up a Man Utd side that we made work hard for the most part of that game...

I must have been watching a different game to some of you. Flo played very well and a very good performance overall. We missed absolute sitters, as usual. We need two strikers next month, then all will be good. Its his defence that lets him down. Let the runner get away from him for the first goal. Both the second and third goal, check out his closing down of the ball... turns his back for both and never really commits to getting in the way of the ball. He’s a boy in a mans game.... scared of the ball, he should be embarrassed. For comparison, watch Hogg, never turns from a ball and is willing to cop one in the face for the team.

Worryingly there is a gap (5 points) developing between us and a safe position. Yes, a win does not take us out of the bottom three which is heart breaking when it happens. That’s what happens when you lose to the teams around you. Might not of looked so bad at the time but when you play teams like Man UTD where you arnt going to get anything the others are scavenging points off each other. If we don’t get two wins from Fulham, Burnley and Cardiff coming up then I firmly believe there is no coming back from that. We will be in the bottom three for the rest of the season.

That's why I support Town, because despite the odds I never stop having blind faith that we might just pull off the unexpected. That blind faith will continue until we're mathematically down or safe...

Good games today for Durm, Billing and especially Pritchard after all the criticism he's been getting recently on here. There was quite a bit of confidence shown by the team today, except in front of goal. We need a couple of results soon, then who knows what will happen. Pritchard for all the good work he does can’t hit a ball. No goal threat, might as well not be there. When he hits the ball, it looks like someone all of a sudden put a beanbag in the ball, it looks heavy and he has no strength.

Watch Flo for 2nd and third goals he lost his man like a girl for first and turned his back fir second. He is soft and can't defend also Lossl fell like a sack of potatoes. Apart from that we did better than I expected and scum never got out of second gear.

It’s not just the turning back...it’s that he totally switches off and gifts HIS man loads of space at a corner, realises what he’s done so then goes charging out as the ball comes in. He’s a liability, and he’s far too soft and weak to play the central role. Wagner MUST see it..

At the time I mentioned that he chickened out and turned his back, rather than get in the way of Pogba's shot. To be fair he runs around a lot, but to little purpose - as you say, a passenger.

Better result than expected.
With that said, it is so poor that we had to replace Kachunga (who to be fair was on his last warning) with a left back after all the investment in the Summer. We became lopsided when Lowe came on as he refuses to attack and beat a man. Diahkaby, Sobhi and Van La Parra would have surely been better options.

Town would have won that match had we had such a thing as a quality experienced striker on the field Easy chances missed ,and should have been 2-0 up after 10 mins Promising performance as clear we need 2 defenders and 2 strikers in Jan then we will climb the table Failure to do this is clear cut relegation , and doubt mr hoyle wiltl accept that Exactly that. Dont talk shit we wouldnt have won that match Manure had plenty more chances, but i acknowledge your sentiments on the poor finishing and the need for new faces

Saying that, I'm not sure where your 2nd easy chance in the 1st 10 mins has come from though.
