Talking Points:

• Our defense has looked solid for weeks but with 3/4 defenders getting under 6.10 average ratings something clearly went wrong. What do you think was the problem?

• Marcos Rojo was abysmal at left back once more, taking home the flop of the match award. With him and Darmian looking disastrous in that position, Blind inconsistent, and Shaw out of favor, what do you think the solution is?

• We have one trophy in the bag already! I asked in the survey what other trophies people think we will win. 12 people said we'd win the treble of FA Cup, Europa League, and Premier League! To break this down further: 17.6% said we'd win the Premier League, 62.6% the FA Cup, and a whopping 93.4% claimed we'd win Europa! Do you agree?

This is my first survey. Feel free to give me feedback on formatting and ways I can improve the survey. Additionally, I only received around 1/3 of the responses I did in my initial survey. Any feedback for how to get more people to respond?
