We've had some chances in this game, must be more clinical.

I have so much more faith in Potter tactically than CH however he got that first half horrendously wrong today and we never recovered. Have had enough chances to get at least a couple here but I guess that's the difference between top 6 and the rest. Utd have also been very clever, lots of little fouls whenever we have started to break etc. Very Sir Alex. As usual we are too nice still at times

I'm not saying March is a left back. But he has the potential to be more effective at wing back for us than he does anywhere else.

Having seen the guy play there so many times now, I really don’t agree with that. He’s at his best, by some distance, as an inverted right winger. He’s far too predictable down the left. But he seems to get played there because he’s willing to do some defending. It’s really baffling to be honest as he never looks comfortable down the left.

I don’t think Duffy has been helped by the fact that Montoya is woeful to be fair, we all know his limitation on the ball but he’s a good defender, been left very exposed today.

Duffy hasn’t been helped by the fact he doesn’t fit Potter’s system, which makes him look woeful 😂

Match Stats from BBC:

Man U shots on target: 3
Goals scored: 3


You don’t think it’s fair to question Matty Ryan..?

He's a good lad and a good shop stopper but he wouldn't get in to many other Premier League first teams. And his poor box management might become alarmingly obvious if 6ft White plays next season.

Duffy is a good player at what he does in the right system (ie a long block where he plays as an old fashioned stopper). Potter’s system doesn’t, never has and never will suit him. He’s terrible on the ball and has a turn of pace that even my nan would be embarrassed by.
