To think some on here were slagging his performance off. Absolutely clueless. |  | | |  |

I think the goals are more to do with the fact we switched from 5 at the back plus 2 cdm's to 4 at the back with no defensive protection as Carroll got forward more. |  |

Carrol got forward more? He single handedly cost us the third playing from deep. | | | |

He was in their half trying to play a pass poga would struggle to pull off. Hardly deep. He got caught out just like cork did for most of last season. | |

4/10 at best
way too reactionary - resorted to latch ditch scrambling instead of proactive controlling, orchestrating and taking reponsibility
clearly about as sharp as a marble | | | |

I never thought I'd say it, but the goals were due to the fact we brought Bartley off, and yes, that the back 4 didn't have the screen the back 5 did.
Don't really blame Clement for doing it, we had to go for it at some point, though 60 odd minutes did seem a little early. Also highlighted the lack of options we have and the need for strengthening. Routledge and Narsingh are decent in an open game, but they were never going to breakdown a well drilled United team protecting a 1-0 lead. | | | |

Routledge and Narsingh on that performance, should never be an option, in any game. | | | |

Maybe Rutledge as a makeshift AM but Narsingh isn't great. Don't see much in him. | | | |

Judging them on that game is pointless. I knew, you knew and Paul Clement knew they weren't going to unlock, what was at 1-0, a tightly packed United defence. As someone said about the Fulton sub last week, they were so ill equipped to change the game, it was almost as if it was a message to the board. | | | |

Message to the board! The board don't give a shit. As long as we can stay in this league as cheap as possible that's all they care about. |  |

That's the message.
We aren't going to stay in this league without goals. Tammy looked good at times today, but he was way too isolated and isn't going to score many without support.
Routledge and Narsingh were our attacking substitutions (the game was already over by the time McBurnie came on). That's just not enough. | | | |

There was a fantastic ball in from the left in the second half which Tammy only had to stick his leg out at to score |  |

Yes and he was inches away from an open goal from Ayews cross/shot early on too.
I'm not saying we won't score any goals at all. I'm saying we won't score enough unless we bring in more firepower before the end of the month. | | | |

We simply shouldn't be in a position where we have to start a 19 year old rookie up front. |  | | |

Creativity is the major issue. We need an AM who thinks 3 times quicker than Fer. | |

Agreed. But we also need to support the striker. I get that it was Man United and we were playing 3 centre backs, but we didn't get around Tammy quickly enough. We could get away with it when Bony was here. Tammys movement is sharp and intelligent, he isn't going to do a lot if he is that isolated though. | | | |

on reflection Federico and Alfie looked good today and were a decent partnership - Mesa was spent before 60 mins and looked like he wanted all the time in the world to take a pass and turn and wasn't expecting to have opposition on his back in the blink of an eye hope he wises up quickly. |  | | |

Done fine considering he was up against that United midfield. Played as well as Leon would have in all probability. |  | | |

I think you are probably right there. Due to our set up there were virtually no options going forward so sideways and backwards were all that was left.
It was effective enough in our defensive formation we played for most of the game.
I must admit to being concerned that 5 at the back would have let them dominate midfield. We did ok though and could have been worth a draw at half time.
As much as I admired Clem for that, his decision to go toe to toe to get back in the game was a poor one and he has to take the blame for that just as he takes the credit for the first half.
Problem now is what if Mesa is not up to it and is yet another bad signing. Also what if Jenkins can't get the right players in or indeed if he gets any. We now have a very threadbare squad after laying off so many. I think we need 4 or 5 players are needed rather than 2 or 3.... |  |

Routs and Nars good in open play - when? Routs sadly is a shadow of the player and can't remember Nars having a decent game. If they remain our wide attacking options for season we'll be relegated without question. |  | | |

They are both better in open games. Routledge particularly. I know it was only a friendly against an unfit side, but the Sampdoria game is a good example.
I agree with your second point though, in fact it's the point I was making. Both were always going to be useless against a Mourinho side defending a 1-0 lead. We need genuine game changers on the bench. We've barely got any on the pitch at the moment | | | |
