Just a few thoughts from today's game:

Firstly I'm pleased with how we ended the game and actually went home feeling disappointed that we didn't win. I'll have to check back on MOTD as I do realise things look and feel differently on tv than they do in the Lower Gwladys. With that in mind.

I realise that the team haven't been very inspiring, but this is the worst atmosphere I've ever seen for a Man Utd home match in all of my 9 years as a season ticket holder. Goodison was like a morgue for about 80 mins.

Cleverly should never play for us again. I thought he was dreadful. I've yet to see a match where I've genuinely thought that he played well, and he offered nothing going forward or defensively, and lost the ball a lot.

I haven't got a clue what Stek was doing for the goal, but what annoyed me more is that Mori didn't go after it. He may or may not have been able to clear it off the line but a bit of effort would have been appreciated.

Gueye was probably our best player, as I've come to expect. However Mirallas really impressed me today. He was our best attacking threat and if he put in this amount of effort every week he would be one of the first names on the team sheet.

Valencia looked very good when he came on today. He caused a lot of trouble for their defence, and more importantly seemed to wake Lukaku up. For me he needs to start the next game with Lukaku. Holgate was also fantastic when he came on and didn't put a foot wrong. If Coleman is fit for the next game I'd play Holgate in place of Mori.

Finally, I was shocked at how poor Man Utd were. They were nearly as bad as us for the first 60 minutes, then we were far better for the rest of the game. I understand that our tactics stifled them, but I thought that they played dirty and were lucky not to have 1 or 2 sent off. I also couldn't believe that they were time wasting with 10-15 (with extra time) mins to go. With the players they've got they should have destroyed us today.

Dont bother watching MOTD Tommy. Listening to Jenas talk we got battered all over the park by united yesterday, and there was only one team in the game who wanted to win. such bias makes my skin crawl. perhaps Jenas can crawl back up joses jaxey never to be heard of again.

On the Cleverly front had did put in quite a shift pressing and protected Baines reasonably well unfortunately he doesn't have the pace or ball control I would expect of a PL player. I also thought Kev had one of his best games for a while but actually thought he was more effective on the flank than in the hole he really did put a shift in pressing the ball. I also think we looked much better when we went to 442 I know we where pushing for the goal but the players just looked more comfortable with the formation. Holgate was excellent I hope Coleman is back next week as I would really like to see Holgate and Williams as a partnership. Mori like Jags is just not performing at present. Stekelenberg made another mistake that cost us so maybe Joel deserves a match or two too see how he goes.
