Martial was their best player and he was up against Manga who would struggle at right back in the conference!

It's nothing to do with Refs, though Oliver was poor yesterday, but more to do with our own naivety. We just let teams play. You haven't got to do tackles like a Joe Ralls special or a Bennett on Sane to be effective but you do need to break the momentum against the top teams and we just let them crack on.

As for Man United, they'll have a few weeks in the sun now they're playing us, Huddersfield etc then they'll get battered by PSG, Man City, Liverpool etc.
No need for me to ‘come on’.. we did have decent spells. We created far more chances than we did at Watford.

Once patch we had Zohore’s shot saved, another De Gea save and 2 missed headers.

As for the refs you seem to have completely overlooked my point.
I’m not criticising the refs, jus saying we need to be cuter.

We allowed Watford to push and shove us last week, afraid to get physical even though the ref clearly was letting stuff go.

It was the opposite this week - refs have different styles and we don’t seem as good at playing to these as others.
