“It simply smelt of complacency. They weren’t at it from the start. That may be a dangerous one for United.

“I believe they have been loads higher in the previous couple of weeks. That in all probability takes us again to Brentford away.

“You possibly can’t go from the struggle that they confirmed in sure video games to that. It simply erodes confidence, it erodes belief.

“We’re trying to build a trust in a manager, we’re trying to build a trust in a team.

“The followers booed collectively on the finish. It was loud, and rightly so. That was a very poor efficiency.

“It’s almost as if you’ve gone sort of like two or three steps forward, everyone’s feeling a little bit better about themselves, and you’ve just gone back to the start again.

“You possibly can lose soccer matches, however you’ll be able to’t lose them like that. That is nowhere close to ok, it isn’t acceptable.”

“You must have urgency and make the pitch as massive as potential, and you must put as many gamers as potential in ahead areas.

“You have Shaw, (Leny) Yoro and (Matthijs) De Ligt behind the ball. Shaw is getting forward more, but he’s ambling forward, let’s be clear. He’s been bugging me for the last 20 minutes. He’s ambling, you can’t do that. He should be running forward every single time, I don’t care.

“Yoro, I’ve a little bit bit extra sympathy for however Shaw? That is a waste of time. I do not care. It is a waste of time. It isn’t conning anyone. I am not having it.

“Ruben Amorim has a question to answer. Bringing Dalot on over there in front of Shaw? I don’t quite see it. You have five at the back, why? They still don’t win the first ball or the second ball. Embarrassing.

“This needs to be just like the Alamo. Actually fast, high-tempo passing side-to-side, moving into good extensive areas, placing crosses in, getting our bodies in assault, sustaining assaults.

“It’s very slow from United. There is no presence in the box whatsoever.”
