Really quite a shocking first half. I don’t think I’ve seen us so clueless since the Garde era. I’m disappointed that Deano didn’t take full responsibility for that blaming it on the players rather than himself. Despite his argument to the contrary, it was clearly the system he played (if it wasn’t, why did he change it and why did things improve significantly when he did?). Just because it worked against Man U doesn’t mean it’s going to work against everyone. Buendia and McGinn seemed to get most of the criticisms but them were overwhelmed and outnumbered in midfield. Deano needs to take it on the chin and learn from this because if he doesn’t call for his departure will get even louder.

Not from me though. I think he’s been brilliant for us. Maybe I’m a bit soft.
