Hughton - 8 such a great manager, was worried after 10 mins that we would be overrun, but our shape was brilliant and we were a threat. Bad miss by Murray which would have changed things IMO.

Easy one this week as we were superb.
Button 8: best and most confident performance so far. Great distribution and a couple of key saves
Montoya 7: struggled at times with Rashfords pace but still did a solid job
Bong 7: two mistakes and a hesitancy in getting the ball in the box overshadowed an otherwise excellent performance by one of our most hardworking and underrated players. He’s not Bernardo and he probably knows this but he never fails to give us 100%
Dunk & Duffy 9: outstanding as usual and difficult to say one was better than the other.
March 6: other than one or two key plays, disappointing yet again.
Locadia 7: improving every week. Distribution was excellent and caused United issues.
Stephens 7: excellent today back to his best I thought.
Propper: 9.5: been simply brilliant this season so far. Proving to be a thorn in a lot of teams side. We will struggle to keep him in the summer.
Gross: 8: huge improvement and probably his best game this season. Great finish to his goal and great work rate. Did a lot off the ball which caused United issues in the second half.
Murray 6: hard working huff and puff performance from Muzza. However he is looking leggy. I’d be switching him and Andone round especially as I think a fresh Murray would have caused more issues late second half than one starting. Can’t complain too much though as he still drags defenders away and pulls them out of position
Knockaert 7: excellent again when he came on. Deserves to be first choice instead of March for me.
Kayal 6: as effective as he always is. Never fails to give less than 100% will look forward to seeing him start against West Brom next week.
Andone 7: stretched united caused them real problems. Needs to be first choice striker now.
Overall 8/10: possession stats don’t do us justice. We were brilliant yesterday and deserved to take something from the game. UTA

Player ratings. Players can play very well and lose. But that is evidently a difficult concept for some reason.I cannot believe some of the marks on here WE LOST THE GAME which is the whole point of going there and playing it. Having 95% possession 20 shots on target and losing means nothing in May.

He was solid enough, but you're right about the decision making. There was one incident in particular in the first half when he had the ball on the edge of the penalty box and Montoya was overlapping where a simple 5 yard pass would've put him in a really dangerous position to put a cross in, but he held onto it instead. I know it's easy to see these easy balls up in the stands, but that was so frustrating, and Montoya clearly wasn't happy either.
Of the starting 11 - Button, Dunk, Duffy, Propper, Stephens, Gross, Locadia all looked like they "belong" in PL
Montayo was steady but not got the flair of Bruno - we have seem somewhat spoilt in past
Bong was out thought for penalty and comes up a bit short of class at top PL level - though a good brick wall for lower level PL teams to run into
March got into several good positions and wasted all of them re hesitating and losing the ball - needs a break out of the team for a few games
Murray was a bit out of sorts
Andone linked up well with Locadia - more they play together, better they will both get - both definitely PL class
AK - could rightly be aggrieved not to have started, was far better than March and a pest like Andone is
