Disastrous, we looked off the pace from the start & the early goal sort of jolted us into life. We then woke up a little & started to press & look for ways through but to no avail. After Bournemouth's 2nd though, it looked like we just threw the towel in & quit.. again, they could have scored 4 or 5, we were lucky they only went on & scored 1.
The scoreline doesn't reflect the complete performance as we did have spells & probably should have scored a couple, but you cannot quit like that. People have spoke about
"Manchester United DNA" a lot in the various sides & under various managers since SAF retired & quitting like that is completely against the club's DNA if such a thing any longer exists. It doesn't matter the calibre of squad, who's injured who's fit, the manager, who we've played, we have scored 2 or 3 goals in a matter of minutes before, giving up, when you've 25+ to play is unacceptable.
Martial looked like he'd quit from the opening whistle, that should be his last game for the Manchester United first team. There was a few occasions in that first half in which Garnacho, Antony & Fernandes wasted energy & looked like donkey's trying to hurry defenders/midfielders into quickly turning over the ball only for them to dump it off to a player that was under next to no duress because Martial was just having a casual little jog after the man. Martial obviously peaked in his 2nd or 3rd year with us & the time Mourinho wanted rid of him, the club
(in particular our jabroni owners) should have perked up their ears, knew their roles, shut their mouths & listened.
Our wild erratic season continues, tune in same time, next time for more
fun & adventures!
