Bottle has nothing to do with tonight at all. If it did, every loss this season can go down as a bottle loss. Home and away doesn't come into it this season. No fans, no intimidation at all. We have such little quality in possession as we have shown, time and time again this season that the same issues are the reasons we lose games.

Yes it doesn't mean you can't win a game that you aren't expected to, but also means that generally the quality of your team shines through more often than not. I am not comparing this to any other away game at Old Trafford. In the past, sure, lacking desire and ambition has always been an issue at old trafford. Tonight's not the case. We just have no midfield like we always do. Look at who we are relying on again, Sigurdsson, Gomes, Davies... Tonight was not a bottle issue at all. On another day we have DCL, scores before HT, we have Richy who scores in the last 5-10 minutes. Digne shoots across goal instead of near post.

Carlo is getting the best he can out of the players who proved themselves not good enough over and over. I agree with you in the past at United we have been dreadful. (We also won here 8 years ago by the way). Tonight though, we just lacked real quality, we had some attacking chances to hurt them but we didn't. Also always gets ignored the fact that united conceded 2 and then suddenly switched back on.

We had enough chances to get a 3rd goal, or to create a chance for one, we just lacked quality, as we usually do. Hence why Carlo is trying to give us a solid defence to ensure we pick up points with counter attacking.

I have faith that when Carlo gets HIS players in, an actual RB, a CM who can compliment Doucoure and Allan, and not hinder them then we will improve on the ball and in all games.

Dont agree with all of that, but do agree with the sentiments re Carlo. He is trying to remove this negative mindset and I like that when we equalised, you could see Big Dunc running round like we win and Carlo was clearly not ecstatic - because he wants to win.
