The major difference on the day was that they could bring on Cavani, Rashford and Martial, and we brought on Fredericks. Those 3 alone are £75m+ and we will never compete with that in terms of squad.
For all those moaning about G&S not buying anyone, the reality is that Moyes is the one holding back not wanting to waste money. It's his call and having been burnt a few times I think he is being ultra cautious when we actually need him to be a little bit reckless.

Such an easy way put to talk about substitutes transfer value, but a load of rubbish.
Cavani I 36 and way past his best, Rushford has been poor for a long time and Martial has hardly played in the last 12 months becaus eyes been appalling. Look at the facts without creating a narrative.
The difference was game management. Moyes lacks the balls to take a game by the scruff of the neck.
Man Utd were very, very poor yesterday. Moyes bottled doing what needed to be done.

But we could have started with a difference selection/formation , say Johnson instead of Coufal , Zouma playing on the right of Diop ( instead of Dawson playing ) , and Vlasic instead of Lanzini in a midfield three .
In hindsight the tactics just were not doing it , Lanzini was ineffective , along with our fullbacks , no one looked to be able to get forward apart from those bursts from Rice or am I remembering it differently to the rest of you ( Could be a combination of my age , health and the tablets ) .

See my opinion of Johnson differs,gives the ball away far too often imo
Imo neither side deserved 3 points. We were poor. But tbh I’ve become accustomed to that in recent weeks
Totally self-inflicted I can’t for the life of me think what Fredericks was trying to do with that header.
Just pleased they didn't have a striker with their shooting boots on , ( even though Areola pulled off some very nice saves ) , because it could have been embarrassing , as they had 18 shots to our 6 .
But only 2 or 3 of those efforts were on target. I can only recall Areola making one save of note which I think was a shot from Fred. That’s Man Unired’s one, not the one whose schoolboy error cost us a point.

How do you know that's the case. Maybe Moyes knows who he wants to bring in, but the tight little cunt won't back him or pay the money.
Maybe the selling club doesn't want to be paid in Greensheild stamps over 3 years, but actually want some readies.

We could have of course. although I don't think Dawson did much wrong all game, and like others I think Johnson does give the ball away more than Coufal. I agree regarding Lanzini though, but the only other options were Vlasic and Kral, and given Manu's penchant for scoring screamers to win games I think he was kept on for that reason alone.
And for those who don't think the quality of their bench made a difference, it doesn't matter how old they are or how out of sorts they've been, form is temporary but class is permanent. Stupid is also permanent for which there is no cure
