  • Conceded twice in first half
  • Fans blame Dalot
  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    It was another frustrating outing for United fans at Vicarage Road on Saturday evening, after witnessing Dominic Solanke open the scoring against the Red Devils. United would go on to equalise through Bruno Fernandes, before Patrick Kluivert restored the lead for the hosts just before half-time. Fernandes doubled his tally in the second half, as United clawed their way back into the game once again. Despite drawing level on two occasions, United fans have voiced their frustrations at the squad - with a specific reference to Dalot.

    WHAT THE FANS SAID

    One fan, @marcloboda, highlighted Dalot as one of the main problems, as he said: "I say it all the time, but defensively, Diogo Dalot is absolutely f*cking useless." To which another fan, @Gm4nHere, agreed with, by replying: "Yep, would be better as a winger as his delivery is decent. But at his actual job, lacking."

    Other supporters criticised the aggressiveness of Erik ten Hag's team. "It’s an exact repeat of when we played them at OT (except we managed to score this time). They are first to the ball all the time, first to every tackle, more aggressive," @ethersby wrote.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    United have now slipped to seventh in the Premier League table, level on points with Newcastle United. The Magpies secured an emphatic 4-0 win against Champions League hopefuls Tottenham in the early kick-off to apply the pressure on United - which they have not responded to.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Following the game against Bournemouth, United will focus on their last opportunity to secure silverware this season. The FA Cup semi-final clash against Coventry is fast approaching and it is vital for Ten Hag that his side progresses into the final. The winner will face either Manchester City or Chelsea at Wembley Stadium.
