West Bromwich Albion 2:2 Manchester United

Revan · Oct 20, 2014

Van Persie looks like a random man who has won the lottary to play for United. Absolutely awful, selfish and pretty much ends every action when reaches the ball. Rojo and Shaw started very badly but improved.

Mata and Januzaj invisible. Blind was excellent IMO, like a more energetic version of Carrick.

Count Orduck · Oct 20, 2014

We're so bad. So bad. Shaw has been awful. Crap defensively and crap in attack, too.

And the worst part is that so far this season Van Gaal's substitutions have been universally terrible, so I'm not exactly filled with confidence he'll be able to turn this around with the right changes.

Golo · Oct 20, 2014

Falcao should definitely be on, we need more interplay and surprisingly Falcao is very good at that.

ManRed · Oct 20, 2014

Di Maria outwide doesn't work at all. Its very poor and sad to see this formation change due to international break. We need to remove Herrera for Falcao.

Wicked_Badger · Oct 20, 2014

It worries me that he seems to be turning to Fellaini to solve this this problem...

Ole's_toe_poke · Oct 20, 2014

West Brom have done feck all since their goal.

They are there for the taking if we be a little more incisive.

kouroux · Oct 20, 2014

RVP is so infuriating at times, he is so selfish and wants the ball all the time. Mata and Januzay have ranged from anonymous to completely poor.

Fellaini will be first sub on

replacing Januzaj.

The last minutes summed it up. No one took the shot...

If Van Persie wasn't Dutch, he wouldn't be starting.

If Rooney wasn't a doormat he wouldn't either.

Hed Zitin · Oct 20, 2014

Rubbish. No creativity at all.

What is the point of Mata when he plays like that?

Get it to Di Maria. That's it. Ran out of ideas.

Rojo was awful at the start but has been great at the end. Good to see.

ryryzz · Oct 20, 2014

Januzaj really needs to make his decision quicker. He, at times, slows our attack down and seems to be clueless with the ball at his feet

Skorenzy · Oct 20, 2014

Golo said:
I think Rojo's been quite good TBH.

Yep, since the goal he's done very well. Him and Di María only ones who are having a good game so far.

Garethw · Oct 20, 2014

We are in big trouble this season.

Shyftyy · Oct 20, 2014

januzaj out. He doesn't add anything. Sub for Falcao and revert back to the 4-4-2 diamond.

Who should be ahead of him?

do9 · Oct 20, 2014

We miss wayne. A lot. He is far far better than juan. And adnan is awful. Fellaini and falcao in, januzaj and herrera out. 3-1 win. Do not worry lads. We are winning this

Yea we should set our mentality slider to overload.

What do you think this is? FM?

Nonsense, they should try through balls more often than they do now.

JonDahl · Oct 20, 2014

Wank half

Ainu · Oct 20, 2014

Mata is godawful so far. Van Persie just keeps making the wrong decisions and Januzaj is completely pointless. This team is a mess.

PvsNP · Oct 20, 2014

We really need someone like Strootman in that midfield. Would've done wonders for a game like this.

Ronnie O'Sullivan · Oct 20, 2014

Not enough subs to replace the under performing ones

WyoManU · Oct 20, 2014

We have too many passengers not willing to do the hard work. We still look a 6th place side and our defense is fragile no matter who we play against.

Leg-End · Oct 20, 2014

I really wish sometimes someone, anyone, would just hit it when in a good position in the final third. We are fartarsing around in a game we are behind in.

Falcao on please.

JakeC · Oct 20, 2014

Build up play is slow, but impressive at times.
Shaw isn't fit.
Herrera isn't fit.
Jones isn't fit.
Januzaj and Mata are low in confidence.
RVP is out of form.
Rafael is fantastic.

FraserP1 · Oct 20, 2014

Unfortunately, Fellaini may be coming on in the 2nd half.....

Mato87 · Oct 20, 2014

WTF is with Januzaj and Mata, they have been absolutely wank.
Only players that are trying to go forward are Herrerra, RVP and Di maria, Blind doing some awesome work in midfield while Rojo working very hard
I blame shaw for the first goal.

Irrational. · Oct 20, 2014

Other than their goal, WB haven't tested DDG.

It was a real worldie that beat us, brought on by Shaw being caught out of position.

Hopefully we'll nail it in the second half, with the right subs. Unfortunately it seems like LVG has his selection/ tactics wrong so far.

Oh, and we need to work on our corners and set pieces. God help us against Chelsea.

lysglimt · Oct 20, 2014

There is no balance in the side - the way they create chances against us is ridiculous. And let's throw in crosses against Lescott and Dawson - if this had happened a year ago, Moyes would have been ridiculed

feck me you lot are depressing.

We've done alright there. We created some good chances I though.

Something for us to aspire to

RDCR07 · Oct 20, 2014

Take out one of Mata or Januzaj and bring in Falcao and please go back to 4-4-2 diamond. We dont need wingers.

I'm fairly sure being 1-0 down to a mid-table team at half-time is not worse than a life threatening disease.

Might be best to delete that since it could offend some people.

Fair enough, I'd have thought no one would actually think I'm being serious, mind.

bosnian_red · Oct 20, 2014

Bit of a shit half. We haven't been awful and west brom haven't done too much, don't think they've been better then us but we aren't threatening enough. Mata, Van Persie have been awful and done nothing, as always. Herrera has been pretty poor too but is pressing well at least. Januzaj invisible so far. Bring on falcao for mata and switch to the diamond, januzaj behind the strikers.

We have barely created a chance all game. All we have done is to knock the ball about without really attempting much. It looks all right but West Brom have barely broken a sweat defending their lead.

Big Ben Foster · Oct 20, 2014

This has 1-0 written all over it.

I didn't post that. I posted "not sure if serious?".

Because his positional play has been one of his most positive points. Now obviously you, being as enlightened as you are, have given your opinion, which I was curious about.

Pretty straight forward.

Thanks. I'm obviously more enlightened than you. I'm just happy to give help to the less fortunate.

nazanto · Oct 20, 2014

Rvp as captain has done feck all

Jaap · Oct 20, 2014

Frustrating football at times.

Lots of possession, not enough created.

Manucho the boss · Oct 20, 2014

Scary how reliant we are on Di Maria already. Shaw hasn't produced going forward yet.

FromTheBench · Oct 20, 2014

We've had chances after the poor start but the change in formation is just not clicking.

Too rigid as well.
