bluenosetoffee Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 It was a shame about the result. Yes United were all over us but we defended well and put bodies on the line to keep the 1-0 lead. Unlucky at the end. I didn't understand Koeman's subs though, Pennington on and Calvert-Lewin. Yes we were getting hammered at the time and added another player to help defend fine. That okay, I get where he is coming from but Lewin on the other hand I don't understand. 1) Barkley was playing well, him and Lukaku were doing well getting United on the break. 2) United defenders were tired and I think we needed a bit of pace. Why not chuck Lookman in the mix and say to him. I want you to run at these defenders, take them on and get past them. Calvert Lewin can't do this but maybe he is better at defending I don't know. Watching the game it looked like we could have easily got a second goal on the counter if we had the right players. Oh well, onto the next game.

Paddock Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ibrahimovic has such an aura of arrogance around himself that he was miles offside. His pen was as cool as you like wasn't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcirony Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 On reflection it was a fair result. They hit the bar a few times, had a fair goal disallowed. The team worked hard - I think Lukaku and Williams had a few issues throughout the game, I noticed Lukaku berating Williams for lumping the ball over the top of him straight to De Gea.
