I thought some of our players today was very good. Shaw was good and battling performance. The ref today was very poor, real home town guy, gave up nothing. Could have blown up on the 5 mins too and he let Everton start the attack again and they scored from it.

Mainoo was good, and I will admit, despite my wanting Rashford gone, he was our best player. Not sure any others played well.

And what exactly is Santos good at? No idea why we spunked 50 mil on him.
All he had to do is kick the ball into the stand at the end, and the ref would have blown it up.

Santos is good at a lot of things. Is he the new scapegoat?

Santos, who came on in the 84th min, hmm, not sure what he is supposed to do with a few mins at the end of games, although we've probably had our pants pulled down once more!!! Re his price.
Cunha through the middle up top is not happening. That cross Rashford (who again played well) curled into the box in the 1st half. It should be a dream for any striker, but not one red shirt was anywhere near getting onto it.
Defence, Carrick has to somehow sort and sort very quickly. I thought Shaw had a decent game and offered a bit going forward, but the rest, including the keeper, were dog s***.
Can't really blame anyone for their 2nd, no one was stopping that, although I would like to point out we seem to concede quite a lot of them throughout the season.

Jred3,
Utd are slow to come out and close the opposition down. There is a distinct lack of intensity and real desire to be in control of the game.

MH, I do agree about the lack of intensity, mate. Long way to go, but somehow we have to improve defensively or another manager will be gone and we'll start all over again, which I certainly don't want, and probably most others don't either.

Need, let's not forget we cleared the corner to Santos, who, instead of keeping the play, decided to hoof the ball.
We then didn't get out, and sat all 11 back, to concede to a shot on the edge with no one close to closing the ball down.
Every week is the same problems, and we concede easy chances.
It's no coincidence it's the same back 4 that's still here after years and years and years of shocking performances.
