Should have had 2 penalties.

2 daft goals to give away.

Commentators want firing into the sun, along with Fernandes and the assortment of ****** that play for them.

I think today proved we are just a mid table team. No more than that. Slightly higher with Jack. Something we need to build on in the summer. A number of these players won’t be starters come August one would hope.

Naivety as an athlete or as a team is what divides the good from the great.

Luiz does it constantly. Unnecessary tackles in or around the box.

Souness got it right when he said that this sort of challenge should be out of your system when you're a youth player.

Luiz's continued  naivety is astounding.

Will be interested to see how we line up on Thursday. If it goes badly (against a team we dominated a week ago) then I wouldn't say it's a good thing in the long run as expecting Ollie to play every minute of every game next season aswell is a bit complacent.

Complacent? He wa the only fit striker we had for most of the season?!?

Until we match them in the way they influence every single decision in the game, we'll never beat them.

They have the referee in the palm of their hands.

We need to crowd the ref, appeal for that fucking handball. Roll around and scream for a free kick or the inevitable penalty,

Chris Kavanagh - job done as far as he’s concerned. Sure he’ll get a bonus for that.

Finally, is there a bigger c**t in world football than Bruno Fernandes?

I think that's an interesting point.

Take the Greenwood handball. We should've instantly taken one of theirs out to stop the game or just boot the ball out of play and crowd the ref as doing that I reckon he'd have gone over to the monitor to have a look.

Instead play went on for about five minutes without ball going out somehow and bet at VAR Hq they couldn't believe their luck in that the incident could just be dismissed given the length of time passed.

All very frustrating.

That's exactly how I was seeing it is as we were fannying about with the ball going absolutely nowhere for what seemed like an age, after the incident.

At half time I thought we were going to finally do it, how naive was I. Simply don't know what Luiz was thinking and their 2nd was poor from both Emi and Tyrone. Did think it should have been penalty for us, but 2nd half display was very disappointing. Depressed I am.

Is the right answer. Last season we were a potential relegation team so we are moving in the right direction. I’m really hoping next season Yanited will not be looking forward to this fixture

We will never beat them when the rules don't apply to them like they do to us.

Greenwood blocks a header and handles it with his arm stretched out. Henderson kicks Watkins in the knee.

No penalty.

Fernandes stamps on Konsa, doesn't get sent off, gets penalty. Pogba berates Shaw for staying on his feet, minutes later kicks his own heels and dives.

Penalties.

Souness' advice on tackling should be taken in the same spirit as Fred West's on parenting.

It had to happen eventually, but Thursday night we get to see the current Villa side without Watkins. Not a great prospect.

The frustrating thing is all our players are capable of having a blinding game.

But it’s’ generally 1 in 6.

Luiz should know by now that tackling inside your own penalty area was outlawed years ago.

I'm fairly certain it's the commentators who make me unable to watch us on TV. I can normally listen on the radio, but commentators on TV are uniformly dullards with absurd voices who make absolutely no effort to objectively summarise the game.
