Not sure why no one else is posting... but here goes.
Don't get why Noble walks into the first team.
We're ten minutes into the 2nd half... Utd (the manchester one) put the ball in the net for the third time but it ruled off side.
Automatovicktowhatisname just headed over the bar...
But the basic story is this... no one really expected us to win... not away, not at old Trafford... what most of us were looking for was the performance... to see signs of a team playing and working together, evidence that we could perform against the 'big' teams and look to beat the 'smaller' ones.
so 2-0 isn't such a surprise
but then neither is the manner...
we're under the cosh... almost all the time... having to defend and then being too tired to attack
but here we go... passing accuracy for us 65%
that's just not good enough... and it shows... we are losing because we keep giving the ball away when we should be attacking and putting THEM under pressure... Lukaku was unchallenged for his 2nd goal. A defender either side of him in the 6 yard box but he still headed cleanly without being challenged
Noble is off now - but why does it take 60 minutes of watching him do nothing to make that change?
true... it's only 1 game, few of us expected us t walk away with a point, let alone 3... but we're looking more ragged, more spread out, more devoid of ideas
so, nothing too good to write home about so far.
