Today we saw the difference between a top GK and an average one.
A 6'6" lump being bullied so easily is embarrassing. Yet, Raya had a blinder. Just get De Gea back if we can't pull our fingers out for Lammens.
Also, we were lucky that Rice and Zubimendi were a little quiet because some of the loose play from Cas, Fernandes and Ugarte was pretty alarming.
I'm enthused by the connection growing between Cunha and Mbeumo, and Dorgu looks like he's just tickling that extra level. Mount looks like he's certainly in the argument for retaining his place.
Credit also must go to De Ligt and Shaw who handled Gyokeres and Saka well.
We certainly deserved at least a point, but I saw some really encouraging things today. We still need a DM and a GK, but at least we now look like we carry a legitimate threat going forward.
Good game.

We were by far the better team and its frustrating we didn't get anything from the game but it bodes well. We need to invest in a better keeper, no doubt about it. That would be my number one focus position with CM in 2nd spot. Cunha and Mbuemo looked dangerous and Mount had one of his best games in a United shirt. We need to pick up 6 points in our next two and go from there.

CM is much more important position to fill than gk.

The guys looked really good today. Hopefully we can put a few good performances back to back now. But I do wish we would stop this throwing Harry up to grab something when we are losing.
