It's a really good thing that we only played three games in November because this was a rough month looking back on it. Although it arguably had our best performance of the season so far that, you guessed it, we still lost in. Let's start the review.
A Brief(ish) Review Of The Month Before Hakim Ziyech went and torched us, United actually started the game against Chelsea really well and went ahead with an extremely well worked goal that ended with David McGoldrick backheeling past Mendy to give us the lead. Then we conceded 4 goals (including a header to Thiago Silva) and our bad form continued. The media's favourite 'rivalry' game was up next with the visit of West Ham to The Lane and in a game where not much happened, Sebastian Haller hit a thunderbolt of a shot past Ramsdale from about 25 yards that turned out to be the winner. We ended the month with one of the most one sided losses I think I've ever seen with United going to West Brom and creating, at a best estimate, 700 chances to score and converting none of them as we tried to overturn Conor Gallagher's early strike. It was perhaps the first real omen that this season might not end well but in my everlasting optimism, I thought it was a positive that we'd start to create more chances in games and actually score. How wrong was I. Player Of The Month: David McGoldrick The end of the Berge grip on this 'prestigious' award with our Dave taking it off him for November. Despite almost everyone else in the squad being absolute tosh for this month and the whole of the season, David McGoldrick has been a shining light of creativity and positivity in a season that has had few of both. His cultured finish against Chelsea proves that he really should have been playing at the top flight level longer than the two seasons that he has with us. It's a real pleasure that he has played his top flight football with us though because he's absolute class. Goal Of The Month: David McGoldrick VS Chelsea, Saturday 7th November 2020 It's the only goal we scored of the month but much like September's goal, it was really well worked and worth another watch. Good work from a set piece eventually saw Oli Norwood put in perhaps his best cross of the season that eventually found it's way to McGoldrick who flicked the ball past Mendy with his heel to give us the lead and end Mendy's run of clean sheets.
