The problem seems to me, that we attack with two wingbacks high up the pitch and then Webster or White also pushing into midfield. The opposition then counter and we find that there are only 2 centre backs left to defend and we keep getting done time and time again.

Plus piss poor defending at set pieces.

geez give the guy a break , only his fourth EPL game , he is still learning his trade against much better players this season

you lot have short memories it was only 5 or 6 seasons ago Dunk was making at least one error per game at Whites age

This 100%, he's learning

Was expecting big things from him this season after all the hype from Leeds but quite frankly he looks shit and i think we'd have been better off letting Leeds have him and keeping Duffy. No way would we have lost that today with Duffy in the team.

This.

Manager wayyyy too arrogant against the big boys

Why not just play our flashy gung ho football against 11th placed team and below. Why oh why do we have to try and go toe to toe with better teams. Surely theres a middle ground

I am so thankful that we have Graham Potter after reading this post.

Another Ben White error......

Correct decision to let Duffy go as he rightly would have been 6th choice but I’m not convinced by White so far. Excellent on the ball but defensively poor so far.

Would like to see Veltman start next time and White left out for a bit or as big Burn fan, him brought back in.

I’m confident White will come good but a little break might help him.

I thought he was fouled for the opening goal, a little clip can make you lose your balance, so it looks worse than it probably was.

So you think we deserved not to get any points and think we would have had a better chance of getting a result playing how exactly?

Best way to play United is defensively. Their fans will tell you that and look how palace did it.

His heel was clipped and he fell. Not intentional and so no foul. Wasn’t our day today. White looks so good coming forward.
Looks more like a defensive midfielder to me.

If VAR doesn't look at that, and then rules a hard shot hits an arm from 2 feet away is a penalty, then the law is an ass.

Anyone who thought Ben White was going to arrive in the PL and be error free knows nothing about football imo. The only way he’d be playing perfect football would be if Leeds had bought him...obviously

I am very happy with him, he looks a quality player learning his trade, just like Webster early last season
