Hey Ho. Looked quite promising for about 5 minutes. But ultimately we were awful. Casemiro cost us the first half almost single handedly. Zirkzee looked like a rabbit in headlights. No idea why Ten Haag thought it would be a good idea to start De Light in such a dangerous game. And what will the media say? It was all Rashford’s fault (despite his promising early runs and putting it on a plate for Zirkzee).
Very frustrating 😞
