Smalling had Kane in his back pocket. Alli was invisible for 70mins. Timboo had that left side in check for the entire game until he went off.
Then they bottled it.
Meh, you can't know that for certain.
Maybe the change at RB sparked the crumble but maybe it had nothing to do with it and you just couldn't sustain your defensive duties for 90 minutes. We'll never know but there's no point using it as an excuse. Bar DDG and Smalling, your defence is nowhere near "Manchester United quality". When you combine that with such a toothless attack and a manager who is having a laugh, you'll go nowhere.

Of course it had everything to do with it. 2 goals came from the left side, which was down to Darmian being completely ****. Fosu-Mensah had it on lockdown. Nothing happened when he was on the pitch.
Dont think sustaining defensive duties is much of a problem for us, given that we have the most clean sheets in the league, whilst managing to score minimal goals. We switched off and got punished.
Also lol @ the idea of Harry Kane being worth £60million. Once again in Smalling's back pocket.

DDG is world class and will leave in the summer without doubt. Smalling is quality but prone to the odd "Sakho moment". Shaw obviously has promise but we have no idea how this injury will have affected him. Mensah is miles away from proving himself consistently. He could come good but a long way to go yet.
Mourinho will come in because him saving a struggling Manchester United is exactly what he'd do. He'll be absolutely ruthless selling deadwood and spend 200m. He might actually make you competitive again.

where is your evidence that he is leaving this summer
Why? You barely kept him with CL football last summer but now you most likely will not even have that, only reason he didn't leave because of an admin **** up by Madrid.
