I would worry about the other end of the pitch, last season tou scored very few goals and this season…..you have only scored 3 goals in 5 games, one of them todays Penalty.

Edward Ursidae, your sentiments carry some merit, but one serious goalkeeping error can cost us matches. At the reverse end, a striker may miss a sitter, the equivalent of a keeper letting in a weak goal, yet the significance and consequences can be poles apart. All good teams are built from the back. Either the Aussie keeper comes good and quickly, or we are goosed. It may be that Birri is suffering from a lack of confidence at the moment and may come through it? I certainly hope so.

As you have rightly identified, as has every Utd supporter, we have many flaws all over the park at the moment, including an inability to net. One glaring flaw that virtually every other team we face, exposes, is our off the ball play. We often wait for things to happen, whereas other teams are running about trying to make things happen.
