Summary

It may be Easter, but it feels a lot like a Monday as Ian Irving hosts Andy Mitten and Carl Anka to "pick over the carcass" of Saturday night's performance at Brentford.

Such was the home side's dominance, it's easy to forget this finished a draw. But, after Mason Mount's late goal was cancelled out, it felt like a defeat, with comparisons even drawn to the horror show at the same venue last season.

What price a win at Chelsea, then, and how will this squad look next season, with question marks over so many of the personnel in midfield and defence?

1:01.0	Right, should we get into it then?
1:02.6	Carl, was that performance worse than when United played their last season
