Nonsense. Llorente was pulled back jumping for a header, dele punched by Adrian going up for a header, and One of our players (can't remember who) manhandled in the box when surrounded by 3 players. The best teams win because of lucky decisions. Watch the old United games under Ferguson and you'll see several occasions where favourable decisions turned games in his favour.

You are right. Trickery, that something special is what you need then. Or worldy shots like Bale used to give us.

We really had no impact players to pull off the bench.

I still feel if we had someone like Mahrez in our team it would make a lot of difference in these situations. Someone who can do the unexpected, take on a player etc.

Swap him for Sissoko?

And?
What does it matter now!
You might be right but it's irrelevant - we dropped 2 points!
That's ALL the counts!
Referring is guesswork we all know that!
We move on!

Thought Son was absolutely full of tricks tonight, but when you're constantly surrounded by three/four defenders every time you get the ball it's always odds on one of them will pick up the loose ball.

Mahrez maybe does have a few different tricks in his locker but he doesn't have to face packed defences every other game, does he! I fancy he'd go missing a lot of the time tbh.

We made the last train with a minute to spare

Can’t believe our luck today. No trains at Bedford. Trains from sandy so a 30 minute drive (our mates drive down the m1 and got to Wembley in an hour

Then the met line isn’t working and it’s an hour on the underground to watch that brick

I'm embarrassed now - I was sitting on arse just getting more more wound up!
I even had a nice tangerine.......:rolleyes:
 
What we miss is someone who just gets the ball and really gets at the opponents. We didn’t have that tonight. That’s what Bale offered us, in addition to his crazy goals
 
Difficult to accept we didn't win that game. I've rarely seen a team that dominant. They didn't even try to attack.

I thought we started the game okay, and we put them under pressure in spells, but at times we seem to lull ourselves to sleep and we're too happy to pass the ball around comfortably without actually being threatening. We need to show desperation to score earlier, otherwise time runs away from us. It's been the same in a few other home games this season.

We also fell asleep when we conceded the goal. It was obviously a once in a lifetime shot, but we gave him the opportunity by not closing him down. Eriksen just let him stroll past him, and Sissoko and Sanchez didn't get tight enough either. It's not good enough to think "he'll never score from there", we have to make that he can't by closing him down.

Kane didn't look sharp today, and he was too far away from goal too often in my opinion. We got round the flanks a few times, and there was no one in the box. None of our creative players looked very sharp either. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to play all four of them against Swansea.

I don't know why Dier and Sissoko played for as long as they did as a partnership. They aren't going to create anything, so bring on someone who can create or score earlier. Why not bring Llorente on earlier? Get an extra body in the box. When he isn't brought on early in a game like that, when will he be?

We also should have four penalties the way I saw it, but I don't think Mike Dean will ever give us anything again. He also had the Swansea game earlier this season when he failed to give us a couple of clear penalties.
