Van Persie and Di Maria are the only threats. Why we'd bring Van Persie off is beyond me but this place doesn't surprise me.Shaw is just... disgraceful. Why is he in the center of the pitch all the time? Why can't he run properly?
And Mata/Van Persie are bad too, the latter is just awful, what the hell with the decision-making?It has been just piss poor, enjoyed United more under Moyes. If we are gonna see this slow play on the opponents half all season, it would be desastrous. I'm starting to hate our possesion play.Useless crosses. Misplaced passes. Absolutely clueless looking players. Ridicoulous "defending". Hoofballs gallore. Was this supposed to be a Moyes memorial or is it just coincidence?
Game would be there for the taking, for a team that looked half capable of doing so. For all our posession and nice passing, we've created absolutely feck all.
If a Moyes team had chucked in this many mindless crosses they'd be getting crucified.RVP's runs off the shoulder are good, but his movement in the box when we have the ball outwide is non-existent. We're actually putting in great crosses for a change, and nobody is attacking them. Falcao would probably have been all over some of these balls.
We're playing well, other than the brain fart defending for the first goal. West Brom are going to go deeper and deeper as the 2nd half goes on. We need to score early.Put Falcao on LVG... don't care if he's tired.
Maybe for Ander then move him up front to challenge for the high balls, Dawson has had it very easy so far.Calm down cuntos. We'll win this 3-2.
Jones and rojo have been just about the only positives to take from the half. They have both done okishMata missed a lot of opportunities to run into channels. He is quite static from what i have seenWorst I've seen Herrera play, RVP still seems to be going through a rough patch. Can't see what we would lose by bringing on Falcao.
Yeah honestly, it's not like he has a track record of scoring from free kicks...Why is Mata taking free kicks anyway
True, only a potential.
Yep we can do it, just need to make sure the changes are correct.
We need a sharp start to the second half without getting caught in the counter. Fellaini opens us up to that because he just does not trackWell that was frustrating.....
Catch a fecking grip he is 19
He has not played a senior game in over a month now tbf. Lacking in confidence and match fitness.

Some nice reading for youse in half time then.We're worse than Liverpool.
Exactly this. That is all they have created and we have had the ball loads but we have got to be quicker and more decisive in attack. Di Maria best of the attack. Mata just is not at the game at all tonight and Januzaj can't get on the ball enough.some of the comments on here are RAWK-est. . Bo. . who. . after last season, we play something like football this year.
Nah, you're right. Cheers for the warning.Well, we're only losing by one. That's a positive.Jones is just another shithouse player with little to no actual ability just as Carlton Cole for example is as a strikerWonder what Shaw does in training that warrants his selection. Maybe it's the lack of options.
Or maybe it's that 'man bra' that he wears to support his moobs. Maybe he's a different player wearing the man bra.Shaw looking worse than Evra last season this match.Januzaj hasnt been half as bad people make out of him, of course he doesnt play quick since there is like no movement in our play, he needs to wait for people to make runs, people to react..WBA is good at taking their time and form triangles. Not to mention they sure recover ball a lot. They're really playing as a "team" and we look like relying heavily on ADM.Unimpressed. Don't understand why we changed our shape for this game. We've lost all the thrust Di Maria gives us from centre midfield, Van Persie seems totally isolated and Januzaj has been ineffective at best. There's not enough threat to occupy the West Brom defence, Although some of our approach play has been good its been fairly easy for West Brom to defend, and they are not even defending well: Van Persie could've been in twice.
Luke Shaw has had an awful game, I don't remember him winning a single one on one down our left hand side and Rojo has been pretty bad too. They are both lucky West Brom have retreated after scoring, they were being exposed consistently up until then.We're playing like Arsenal, sterile possession.Not our worst performance so far but still pretty poor. Di Maria is looking pretty good but have been really disappointed with Herrera who has really struggled to get into the game. Falcao needs to come on quickly to give us another option up top.Back to being terrible away from home. Caught out on the break once again even though it was a brilliant finish. Just felt that we could have been a little more solid and rode out the first 15 minutes before committing so many players forwards. A little naïve of us and it costs us yet again.
Possession has been better and better but we just aren't fashioning any chances with wba sitting back and basically parking the bus. Its going to be difficult to break through again. Very disappointed in Mata and RVP. Both look well off the pace and absolutely pose no danger whatsoever. Shadows of their former selves really. Januzaj hasn't exactly been great either and its simply because he isn't in his favored left wing position. Just unable to get in any crosses because he keeps cutting back to his left foot.
Not sure how we can turn this around really. I suppose Falcao can come off the bench and give us goals but it doesn't look like we can keep a clean sheet in the second half to be honest. I'd take a point right now.You lot complaining about RvP in this game need to rethink things. He is doing exactly what he's supposed to do; making clever runs in behind a compact West Brom defense. Do you expect him do dribble his way past 5 players? The problem is the quality of the crosses from Shaw and Rafael.
RvP actually looks a bit sharp tonight, compared to certain games earlier in the season.
Also, not played a minute of senior football in like a month now. Even before that a few minutes only.Frustrating performance, why has Mata and Herrera swapped places
It's the worst kind of possession play.
Slow. In the least dangerous positions. Huge gaps. Only really creating chances from long balls and crosses anyway.LVG Balls better be making an appearance.Just can't see us winning this to be honest We just lack that certain something, not sure what it is. It's as if they don't care, lack of urgency.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is a fine example of a kneejerk reaction.- Status
