This is descending into a bottle job of the highest order, which is sadly becoming the hallmark of this side. There was an opportunity to make a run for the title and instead of having a good go at it, we've played like we're afraid of being in the position we were in. Professional footballers who want to be judged on their titles shouldn't respond like that.
The defence shouldn't take too much of the flak, it's the strikers who are letting us down. Their numbers and glaring misses are there for all to see.
This is not the best ever incarnation of Manchester United, but I don't think I've seen a United side with such a lack of nerve. Some players have stood up, but far too many have simply not performed. You get the impression a few of our players don't want to be involved in big games.
