We're not at the level of these teams yet.

We'll stay up no bother, but needs to add quality as we move forward.

If we beat Burnley and WBA then I couldn't care less about this match.
Very reasonable post Riot

Next two games are against team below us - makes sense to me.

Doubt it, the longer we can defer the bans the better and we have a couple of winnable games coming up. They'd be less so without two of our top players

I think considering the makeshift defence we're playing well so will draw praise from commentators

Misplaced pass carves us open and this time it is James to do the damage.

That's a good goal from James, we are playing well up the park so no disgrace for our defence. Again required a little luck like a couple of others but well finished..Maybe a Meslier error?

Blame lies fully at bielsa's feet this one. Defence has been horrendous all season. Can't be playing the same way against every team in the prem. Embarrassing

Attacking wise, we've had a real footballing lesson today. Oh to have Rashford up front for us.
