Time to strip Bruno Fernandes of his captaincy too!
Lack leadership qualities.

bright start, then self imploded, then relief, here are some thoughts:

- man u had the perfect start when they went 2-0 up, good goals by rashford and hojlund, RVN effect maybe?

- then man u seemed content to let porto attack with continuous crosses into the box, you could sense that sooner or later that a porto player would make the connection. porto 1st goal, de ligt, martinez and dalot are at fault as they hesitated to deal with the ball in the buildup, onana saved well but martinez was slow to react to the loose ball as pepe pounced. porto 2nd & 3rd goals were similar in the sense that samu got in front of de ligt to connect with the ball. overall defence was poor and de ligt seems to struggle against targetman type of SC

- man u mentality weak siah, even though they went 2-0 up, they were unable to kill the game off and allowed porto back into the game. their game management really kns, allowing opponent comeback has been plaguing them since last season

- rashford was terrorizing the porto defence in the first half but ETH sub him off at HT...wtf? why did he take off his best attacker? becos villa is next? really strange decision making when the scores are level. can feel that rashford is getting his confidence back, he was v direct and so hard to stop

- fernandes getting sent off in successive matches. smells deja vu fishy leh... OGS final mth in charge, fernandes got unnecessary yellow card and suspended for pool match iirc, OGS kena sacked after pool match

- improvement of attacking corner set pieces, with maguire bailing man u out with a last gasp equaliser this time. when was the last time man u scored from a corner?

- away at villa on Sun, not optimistic as villa form is better. man u is inconsistent and mentally weak, i hope they dun lose
