Alan Oliver of the Chronicle reported: "There is no doubt that the under-achieving United players were told in no uncertain terms that not only the defeat but the manner of it was not good enough.

"Certainly it was a grim-faced bunch of United players who emerged to board the team bus. Only Nobby Solano and Antoine Sibierski (pictured) were prepared to be interviewed by the media, as most players kept their heads down."

Roeder: "I needed to tell the players what my thoughts were because once again this was a game we should not have lost but we did. Just as we should not have lost at Fulham and Wigan.

"After Darren Bent's free-kick had hit the crossbar, they let Zheng Zhi react the quickest to nod in the rebound. This was mentioned. In fact, everything we did wrong got a mention in our dressing room after game."
