You're very generous. Surely there is disgrace in the chances that we squandered. We all know that we need to work on our composure, but that's probably the reason our players are all the value that they are, versus the amounts the Man Utd players are. How many of their 1st XI today are established Internationals playing at a high level? We didn't give up either, the fans might have had something to do with that... We're still not down folks, battered, bruised, shaken, still not getting the rub on occasions, but I still think we're playing well and being far more adventurous despite 66% of our first choice midfield being out injured... Keep the faith folks... But wasn't Pritchard eleven million, Mounie, Mbenza a fortune ? Look at Pritchards shooting, not just today but most weeks - it really is awful. Add that to next to no assists and surely we can expect more than just running about from him. Yes, he's not 40 million but wouldn't you accept that his finishing should be so much better ?

Neither fell to a striker, so the point is somewhat moot. Saying that, I'm not sure where your 2nd easy chance in the 1st 10 mins has come from though. Do you need to be a striker to be able to shoot on target or score a goal -- ask Mooy What was the 2nd easy chance in the 1st 10 minutes?

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. Probably would be if they weren't all leaving Doesn't mean we can't use them. Like I said, they would not have been worse than Lowe.

Surely whats missing in the team can be brought in via the Jan window ,and then maybe onwards and upwards
It will be very interesting to see Hoyles intent to the survival of our club

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. As you say he was at fault both the 2nd & 3rd goals in failing to make any attempt to close Pogba down, and he is the softest Town player I can ever recall. He makes Dave Cowling look like Chopper McGill.

A simple lesson in how to finish. NOT cos he cost a fortune but simply cos he hit the target. Every bloody week. Kachunga and DeP had similar chances, Kongolo and Billing easier chances. We've actually played quite well ! That is nonsense though, don't try and make out the cost has nothing to do with it. The more expensive players have better technique, composure, etc. - all of which means they are more likely to make the right decision, shoot accurately etc. PS - not justifying the specific misses, just the general point.

We are playing in the premier league with supposedly premier league quality players Alot of what we lack is basic at this level ,and that is why we are bottom of the league

What do we need going on todays performance On today's performance, 2 wingers to at least fill the bench and a centre mid (Mooy/Hogg). Based on the season as a whole, a striker with pace is clearly the priority.

Another valiant defeat today.. Great team effort.. Magnificent support.. We have the spirit and togetherness.. Need a couple of attacking signings to freshen things up.. In trouble..but.. Not yet doomed. I am constantly baffled by Wagner's subs tho.. Thought Mbenza was having his best game for us.. His pace caused them problems..but He's gets subbed on 62 mins for super col?? Weird

Might be meaninless to some ,but have a read on the United forums at the respect they have shown us for the performance
We were alot better today than most expected ,and that has to be a positive plus
This is normally a forum with nothing good to say about opposition teams
Town will beat Fulham if they can play like that plus have alot more luck
Feel its not over yet ,but Jan window is vital
