Kane is an academy player and Dele was third division..
Why would the academy be crap?
People blaming Tripper for losing the ball 80 yards from his goal.....but not Dele for not being able to do what Rashford could from 6 yards out

Vertonghen and Davies were fine, not to blame for the result. One daft mistake from Trippier and ooor finishing up front.
Should of had three or four today. Somehow United had mixed in octopus DNA with de Gea. What a performance.
I've just seen a clip of him making him off the pitch. He is fucked, I am sorry to say.
Agreed, it's just worrying that not one of those went in.
It felt like we could have 30,40 50 even attempts and not on would go in.
Let it happen. Let them sneak top 4 while we finish above them. Will be cuntish if they replace Ole then and he ain't all that.
It happens.
We scored about 403 goals over the Christmas period.
It would have helped if we didn't shoot straight at the keeper though. I'm more embarrassed that we couldn't breach a defence consisting of Phil Jones more often.
agreed, silver lining and what not
21 attempts and 61 percent possesion.
Blame Trippier and Winks
To be fair I think it was a little more than Phil jones at that point.
There was no doubt that United had parked the bus at that point. There must of been about 9 in the back.
I don't know about you but 0-0 is better than 1-0 downBy the way, whether you like it or not we were MUCH better when Sissoko went off.
ochbye:
I do honestly think if that game is at the new stadium the team find that extra 10% from the crowd to get us through. Hugely frustrating but off days happen in football, that's why it's such a glorious sport
It was right in front of us, at least one of their hackers in defence took his shin out instead of the ball, so
I'll echo that - two at-ppst saves were astonishing in that second half
United packed their lines like they were Stoke, and their game plan was built on their speedster picking up scraps and attacking - the amount of times our chances vanished as they had 3 or 4 crowding us was equal with the emount of times our lot made the wrong pass, or the wrong weight, or a mishit shot toward de Gea
Today we looked tired - to echo the above, our squad isn't deep enough, relying on the same 14 or 15 to play 10 matches in 40 days (won't count Tranmere).
Even the midweek off (or Burton instead of Chavs) and we are fresher in our play and thinking
Expect them to jet off for a few days warm weather tomorrow to try and reset before Fulham
No mate I agree.

raised a good point actually.
Why in these big games do we seem to fail in taking our chances?
Whilst we DID beat Chelsea 3-1 thanks to some horrific goalkeeping and defending, we should have scored about 7 goals that night with Kane missing a sitter from 5 yards out.
Against Woolwich in the NLD last season at Wembley we could have won 8 or 9-0 but we only ended up winning 1-0 and in fact Woolwich could have equalised right at the death.
Strange.
