So many missed chances. Lucky to come out of that with 3 points.

Bruno 0/10 performance. Frustrating as hell. What was he doing giving the ball back at the end? How can you be that stupid?

Lots of cons but a few pros to be fair.

Bruno giving that ball back to Luton from a corner in the 93rd minute was absolute madness.

Does he not remember the Wolves game?

2-1. Nailed it.

Poor performance. A draw would have been a fair result. We didn't dominate the midfield and resorted to playing counter attack.

The stats show that it was an attacking game. Good for the neutrals

Should have been 6-1. But three points in the bag nonetheless

That was a fun match to watch but our decision making in the final 3rd is so incredibly frustrating...we could have scored 5.

Never straightforward, is it?
Terrible performance everything that’s wrong with this side too easy to play through, selfish strikers yet still Mainoo and Hojlund the two saving graces

I guess +1 GD after 25 games is something

Should have been a comfortable win. So many one on one chances missed.

Bruno's brain has recently descended three feet below.

First 10 minutes and the second half were fine. That half hour in the first half was absolutely abysmal though, Jesus.

Nothing in the set up is about control of the game, it is all transition, for them, for us. To be fair the transitions are becoming increasingly dangerous, Garnacho as frustrating as he can be had made a huge difference playing on the right but there is no secondary mode yet.

Mainoo was exceptional, he needs to be our main playmaker, play him a little deeper, develop an alternative possession style and his abilities will shine even more.

Hojlund had a great game as well, gave the Luton defenders more than they could handle physically, got his goals but the all round play is developing quickly, much more than I expected to be truthful.

I thought 2nd half was a lot better from us, after the shambles we witnessed when we went 2-0 up in the first.

But again, very little control. All our matches are ping pong games. Always drama at United!

Genuinely feels like a loss.
You a Luton fan?

Nice to hear Luton fans, couldn't hear them the last 20 minutes. Now it's a lap of honour, kisses and "we're staying up." After Morris got done complaining about something again.

Evans was terrific after coming on.

Varane a close run for MOTM, bailed us out a lot from their endless crosses

Happy with the win against what we all knew wouldn't be an easy game based on other Luton home matches this season.

Some horrendous individual performances though, most of all Bruno (who almost capped it off by giving Luton the ball back at the death for them to go and create 2 more chances). If Mount can get fecking fit then give him a run in no.10.

Good win. We scored 2 and missed 3 other 1v1 while Onana had little to do. Really settled down when Casemiro and Harry went off

Second half we did quite well. If we took those easy chances, it wouldn't be this close. Good result, performance could be better. Casemiro brainless, Garno looks like he needs a rest.

Still play like a team of individuals after a season and a half of ten Hag at the helm, it's simply not good enough.

The passing ability in the final 3rd of some of our players is absolutely horrific.

Shaw, Bruno and Garnacho were abysmal.

Actually thought we played really well in the second half, one of our best halves of the season. If we had taken 2 of the 3 one on ones it would have been properly reflective of the way we played.

Hojlund and Rashford really played well in the second half to constantly give us chances to break. Mainoo was sensational and Dalot had a really strong game. Also thought Evans did really well at the back. Good performance overall - just a shame we made it hard for ourselves by deciding not to play for 30 minutes after going two goals up.
