    Howard - 5, Can't dive to his left and has seemed to have gotten gradually worse during his time here. I can't see how you can put someone with Tourettes in goal

    Coleman - 8, Played amazing but let himself down with some bad marking towards the end unfortunately for both him and us.

    Jagielka - 6, played ok, not amazing though. some good tackles put very poor passing let him down

    Heitinga - 6, pretty much same as Jagielka but was very quiet.

    Baines - 6, we didn't see him alot due to the majority of our attacks came from the right but did what he usually does.

    Neville - 3, Gave away a stupid foul right in the edge of the box for their first goal, can't pass, cant match for pace and just needs to be removed from our squad.

    Osman - 7,  Typical Osman game really made some good things happen but didn't capitalise on anything

    Fellaini - 9, got 2 nice goals and was just a mention in the middle all day

    Pienaar - 6, too many miscued passes really disappointing for his usual display.

    Mirallas - 9, Ran everything dominated the wings unfortunately all those chances weren't converted

    Jelavic - 5, he just looked off, don't know if he's injured or his fitness is at a low but needs to get back into his stride

    This is what I dont get.  Neville had an average game, but was no worse than Osman, and was deffo better than Pienaar who couldnt pass to a blue shirt and Jelavic who just wasnt at it yesterday, yet you mark them higher.  And by the way Fellaini was a 10 yesterday as he has been for the part of this season

    Yeh he did make mistakes.  I just think Neville gets singled out too much.  There is no way yesterday he was the worst player

    He gets singled out because he deserves it, for the very reason I stated. Overall our defending was bad.

    You are just sort of proving my point with this statement, as you say overall our defending was bad.  IMO he doesnt deserve to get singled out.  Anyway, overall it was a great team perfomance, in which we were just very, very unlucky

    Neville gave a stupid foul right on the edge of our box which led to the goal. Had he have never made that challenge we would have probably have jags win the ball and counter. But no Neville's not that smart, all his career he's made stupid mistakes that costs games, anybody remember the England game where he gave away a penalty last few minutes?

    I knew as soon as they got that freekick it was going to be a goal. Howard can't dive to his left.

    I've never liked Neville as a player, I never will and will be happy to hear the news of his retirement, his mentality to passback and slow the game down has been the grey area of our squad for far too long

    It was an instinctive stop, it was a good one and you are right to point it out but he was badly positioned for the free kick which is goalkeeping basics. sorry mate but in my view he should of been keeping us 1-0 up.

    Howard is not the best but we've had a lot worse, simonsen, westerveld, mucha. Realize he still plays for us, just think he's a dodgy keeper.
