Yes, fair point. I just feel for about 15 minutes before half time we defended poorly as a team, more so from the midfield areas and got over run. You could see the goal coming then as they had taken the momentum.We defended well the whole game though. They had 2 half chances in the whole game and nothing else. That just happens in football, especially away to a decent side. Not a single problem today was down to the defence. As you say, eventually they get confidence and if they take their chance, it's very hard for us to turn it around especially without martial/pogba and Rashford not being fit.
I’ve heard people saying pereira looked better in the middle. But this once again comes down to us not signing a right winger when one has been desperately needed for years. If we signed a decent right winger, we could have played pereira in midfield. We’ve dithered with signing midfielders also for years.
Common denominator being the board.
