Other than a few 5 minute spells here and there our performance was terrible today. No composure at all, constatly looking for the early cross rather than working better openings. It's easy with hindsight but today was crying out for Keita to come in for one of the midfield 3. Without Salah there's more emphasis on Mane and Firmino to play higher up the pitch and there was just no link between the midfield and attack.
Not really fussed about VAR, everybody knows it's ******** but Atkinson's performance today was as bad as ours. Missing a clear foul for their goal was bad enough but the lack of consistency in his decisions was embarrassing - how he can book Fabinho and then let Rojo and Young off with cynical fouls to stop our attacks and then you had the two James 'injuries', the first was a non head injury and he stops the game when we're in possession then the 2nd, which was a head injury he allows Utd to carry on their attack.
We literally got ****ed over by the officials. You don't always have to play well to get a point and had Atkinson and VAR not have been a complete waste of space, we'd have won despite playing poorly.
