At least we showed that our defence can play with the big boys...
But while our strikers (notably Roberts) showed flashes of brilliance, the possession was squarely in the hands of ManYoo... keeping the pressure on our defenders and on Hoult. (Perhaps this could be the year Hoult makes a case to be an England keeper?)
Another striker and a creative midfielder to feed the strikers may be needed. Wallwork wasn't given a chance today, but if not sure yet if he could fill the latter role.
I don't want to call today a moral victory, however. Even with 10 men, it may still have been possible for the Baggies to come away from Old Trafford with a point, if not for Solskjaer's strike.
