Dishwater. Sa MOTM. Seeing Cunha probably the highlight of the evening.
Was he to blame though? I thought he had a grasp on his man all the way, runner came in round the back from deep. Surely that's down to doc (who was well out wide) or one of the DMs (who were both stood in the edge of the box) to track back.Burnley just edged proceedings, but that was to be expected really. We look low on energy and confidence, especially in the final third, and they're fighting for their lives. I would have taken a point before the game.
Semedo was at fault for their goal but was Ok otherwise. Liked the performances from Gomes, Sa and RAN. At the other end of the spectrum not sure what to make of Bouby. Doherty was dreadful IMHO. Not Sarabia's best game but without him we lose that game.
The lad up front really struggled. It's a baptism of fire for all of them - Chirewa, Fraser, Chiwome. None of them should be in this position. It's unfortunate. Even Silva would have offered more. Impossible to predict four injuries to four forwards, but hopefully Cunha can start on Saturday after the run-out tonight.
Thought RAN was superb, Gomes and Lemina put in a good shift, Semedo aside from switching off for the goal was decent. That's about it really. Hard to build anything without a focal point, and Chiwome top looked like a deer in headlights again, through no fault of his own I will add.
If we can start with a Cunha, Sarabia and RAN front three on Saturday we hopefully won't look so toothless.
Not entirely sure this is fair on Chiwome. The lad was putting himself about, showing for the ball and making runs all night but was largely ignored.The lad up front really struggled.

Where are these comments mate? Can’t see anything.GON having a bit of a pop. Club were warned by GON and Hobbs that squad was being overloaded and we were thin on forwards so injuries could be a problem. Club weren’t in a position to move in January
He was on Sky Sports about ten minutes ago. Looked quite dejected to be honest. Said he’d like to be pushing on but can’t due to the situation with injuries.Where are these comments mate? Can’t see anything.
Don't think the more senior pros trusted him on the ball enough. Lemina fizzed one into his feet early on and it didn't stick, seemed a bit frustrated to say the least, from then on it looked like they'd only play it to him as a last resort, which affected our fluidity obviously, thought he worked hard though like you said yourself. RAN should have cut it back to him for a tap in too!...Not entirely sure this is fair on Chiwome.

I count 3 forwards.Impossible to predict four injuries to four forwards.
Cheers mate. Just seen this too:He was on Sky Sports about ten minutes ago. Looked quite dejected to be honest. Said he’d like to be pushing on but can’t due to the situation with injuries.
Broja? Or someone else?
Wonder who it was.
Hi, is that Man Utd? Yeah, the ball boy position, is it still open?
