We've really only got ourselves to blame. You don't give away 2 goal leads with ten minutes to go at home against an inferior side who ended the game a man down.

Phil Neville MOM. His insights are infinitely more interesting than those of Thornley, Higginbotham et al.

I thought Danny Higginbotham was good at first but his endless waffle is jarringly painful at times.

Phil loves to talk about players in the "little pockets" and the importance of getting to the byline though! He was a refreshing change though.

I just hope us not seeing this game out doesn't end up costing us the playoff spot. We dominated that game in every way possible and certainly were unfortunate not to win it.

Couldn't watch this, who played well? Who disappointed?

Shame we couldn't get the win. Sounds like we were the better team throughout.

Yeah, hopefully we'll get something at Reading at get into the play-offs. Fingers crossed Wilson's back for that one. A mitigating factor in our mini-collapse is the fact that we had a tough game at Spurs on Monday and didn't get back to Manc until Tuesday night. We definitely tired in the final quarter of an hour or so.

No one really stood out. Weir came on and got a brace. Pearson and Varela did alright.

Ex-United trialist Bernard Ashley-Seal was on the bench for Norwich U21s.Played for us in last year's Premier Cup.

Norwich also had Elliott Bennett who's their first team player.England U19's Josh Murphy didn't play tonight though.

Ok, cheers for the info.
No problem. Pereira probably deserves a mention too. Not too much came off for him but at least he had the confidence to try and provide a spark at 0-0 when space was at a premium.
