Porro's incompetence is influencing the overall team play. It's more difficult for the MFs to take control if they have to constantly worry about holes on that right side
 
Even half really. We hit the woodwork twice and had a few more speculative efforts, they've missed two free headers from 8 yards. Think the defence could move it about a bit quicker, but really, the biggest issue is the same as last week: that front three isn't working.
 
He's done fairly well there today though. If anything it's his turn which is a problem today. He's been caught on possession twice.

Exactly, and Utd know that when he turns in tight spaces, to put him under pressure and he'll more than likely spill it. I would push him up further and bring Emerson in defence.
 
Hit the post twice... Sarr had a great chance...How's that work?

We hit the post from a great strike from the edge of the box and then from a deflection. Those aren't high xG opportunities.

IIRC Sarr was at a tough angle which keepers usually save from too. They've had similar chances throughout and the Fernandes one is a total sitter.
