Unlucky there you know. Thought Doucoure was excellent.

Got to get at that United defence in the second half and would honestly get someone more mobile up top rather than Rondon.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Its a similar pattern to our last meetings with them. Always comes down to that bit of quality - Fernandes, Cavani etc - that just tips it in their favour.

Normally yes, bit of luck on this occasion though with the deflection that took it away from Pickford.

 

[Khalekan]

I still have belief in this side under Benitez to not capitulate.

They did at Villa.

First goal opened the floodgates

Celebrating Martial's goal, Utd were looking relieved.

We're gonna put it to 'em in the second half.

 

[Parker]

Oh how wise, are you claiming people playing out of position shouldn't be expected to cover the area they are playing?

Nah but if our back up right back to a 33 year old is a centre half then the problem is not the lad having to play out of position.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Avoidable goal this. We're not too far away from a very good side with a few more signings.
Should've scored though.

Good performance

 

[Methuselah]

Bad time to concede a goal, particularly as we have been the better side in the first-half.

 

[MikeH72]

That’s an awful Utd side; there’s no excuses for a defeat.

Crying.

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

I just thought they might have been better the other way round as Gordon played as a 10 mainly in u18s and u23s and most of Grays best football for us has been from the left.

I take your point mate, but Gordon has played as an orthodox winger, not sure if he's not found it more comfortable in that role at this level.

The best part is that he's grown into the game and has been looking to take opponents on.

 

[JMT]

spawny rats these are.

 

[Jimishorts]

Congratulations.

Unfortunately just hyperbole, never bet against us.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Having to play rondon is really hurting us....
Dcl or even Richy up top and we have at least one goal today...
Also can't help but feel that they're literally having every deflection or dodgy bounce land in their favour....
Still think we can get something out of this

 

[blueconverse]

Another one on brands. A right back is prob in position there

 

[Joey66]

Rondon looks like a sausage roll in a blue shirt........useless should not even be on the bench ..

 

[Goat]

He's not a right back. Positional sense is awful.

You would think after 14months playing the role he would learn................
