Rashford scored... Not sure that speaks of their or his broader finishing quality... Typically, Rashford's dreadfully wasteful.
Not having a dig tho'... I concur it's hard to explain beyond being philosophical like you were.

Agree. Levy builds carefully. This is not the best squad we will ever have. With the new grounds, we can keep building and (maybe) become a destination club. Just need to make sure we stay in champions league.
We’re losing to the better teams in the league (Watford aside). Why is that a bigger problem? Unless you don’t think we should be losing at all, or that we should be losing to the bottom 6?
Liverpool and City are understandable. Woolwich is a derby so it’s a bit of a mixed bag but probably shouldn’t be losing it given their shit form. Outplayed United today but it happens. Besides Watford (and Wolves) to your point, the losses at least make some sense.
Ultimately, though we’d want to throw some draws in instead of losses, as much as I find our current undrawable streak in the league fascinating.
Agreed on this front (Also see Toby)... Already did a blurrb to that effect somewhere above.
I find it contradictory of his broader attitude (and slightly worrying in terms of Dav, Foyth and previously Wimmer's psyche's)... It's like he has a blind-spot for these 2.... Even with the Toby/contract back story.
From Yoda; yes.
Never heard of him, so I will bow to your superior knowledge Reidy. Are you really saying Hirving Lozano could be on our bench? I’ve gone trembly all over.
Well he need to set his sights a damn sight lower than a fair few people round here....

You weren't. A certain other was.
Just watched the recording
Absolutely gutted
Mike Dean is an absolute cunt
Pogpa should have had a straight red for that deliberate attempt to injure Dele
Horror tackle and I totally agree with Souness in that he knew what he was doing right under Dean’s nose
We deserved at least a draw and played well 2nd half
De Gea had the game of his life
Yanited were a disgrace wasting time from 1st half onwards
Very concerned about injuries to Sissoko and Harry
Trippier is not good enough for this team
Had an absolute nightmare and totally responsible for their goal
WTF was he thinking about passing blind then?
Gave the ball away too many times and often not in position
Get rid asap
Winks played well but clearly cannot shoot
Mike Dean is a cunt
Good night

Losing to the top teams isn't a good thing though is it. Liverpool are 3+ better off us because they beat us at our own home. Man City are above us because of 3 points they picked up at our place.
I can understand going to Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Etihad and losing games. They have home advantage and they're part of the top 6 but at home against our rivals is where we need to make up ground, compete and show we're on there level.
We know the quality outside the top 6 is the worst it's ever been. Most teams in the top 6 will NOT drop points at home to these sides. So getting points off those within the top 6 is the difference between finishing 1st and finishing 4th.
Imagine if Liverpool lost all their home games to those around them. The league table would look like this right now:
1. Man City - 52
2. Tottenham - 51
3. Liverpool - 50
4. Chelsea - 47
In fact, imagine if we had got at least a point against Liverpool, City and United at home (All were possible) at the same time.
1. Liverpool - 51
2. Tottenham - 51
3. Man City - 50
4. Chelsea - 47
Now I know that's all wishful thinking. But it shows how BIG these games against the rest of the big 6 is. It's almost a little mini-league in itself.
Liverpool are where they are, not only because they're a good team, but because they've also stopped teams around them from beating them. Man City DID beat them at home, but Liverpool got an important point at home against them. Man City could have won with a last minute penalty, which would have put them 4 points behind with a game in hand right now.
If you want to win the Premier League you need to beat the competition at home and hope to get a few points here and there away at their place. You need to stop them gaining ground somehow.
I take on board what you’re saying but Wembley isn’t home for us
Quite the opposite
Still fizzing after the game
Jammy Manc cunts
Grrrrrr
To be fair - it probably has a part to play.
Just look at our 16/17 season. (Last at the Lane)
Drew with Liverpool at home
Beat City at home
Beat Chelsea at home
Beat Man Utd at home
Beat Woolwich at home
And we finished above all of those bar 1, record points total for a team finishing 2nd etc.
Cannot wait to move back home.
Did I ever say it was? I just said it’s more likely. Going back years I’ve always said it’s our results against the bigger teams that are defining. A draw in isolation looks like a disappointing result, but it’s the points you deny the teams around you that can be crucial. I think I understand this as well as anyone on this forum.

Ok. I don’t read your long posts. Apologies.That's what I am saying
