The overreaction here is unreal. You'll win this game in the second half easy, West Brom are just inviting pressure on themselves and they have no outlet. Berahino has been invisible up front.

We haven't been bad, but lacking cutting edge in the final third and could up the tempo.
LVG made a gesture at the end of the half , suggesting Fellaini would be a substitute.
Rvp is a striker. In penalty area strikers don't do tiki fecking taka. They shootFalcao on for Januzaj would probably make sense. Looks like we'll be seeing Fellaini shortly...Frustrating half.
Credit to west brom they're good on the ball. Rojo should've done better on the goal, but it was a great strike. After that they didn't have much threat but neither did we for the most part, adnan has been disappointing, herrera isn't on form, rvp decision making is poor and mata hasn't done much either, di maria had few good balls in but that's about it really.
We're capable of controlling this game and winning it, i expect adnan and herrera to come off early in the second half for felliani and falcao.Like many others have said, I'd like to see Falcao on for RvP. In a lone striker role, constantly running in behind is much more important than coming deep to collect the ball, which RvP has been doing too much for me.Fellaini warming up.Looks like we are relying on luck to get chances by hoofing random balls towards the penalty area. A lot of times there doesn't seem to be thought behind decisions.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.
We lack urgency, only player in abundance of it is Di Maria.Why do we not like shooting !Blind was very good this first half.That's the most anti-United performance I've seen in years. That's not even meant in a good or bad way, it's just a completely different style.Fellaini is getting warmed up during The half time. Who do you think he will replace. I think Mata will be out and Fellaini in.Why on earth didn't RvP pass to Mata when he was completely unmarked? Bizarre
Well then you have serious issues.I just fear, by the time this team adapts to LvG's philosophy (if they do), we might have lost too much ground on 4th place. Worrying times ahead.It is coming.
Adnan well of pace, as is RVP. Herrera conscious of his injury.
But overall, not what I expected. I think Rafael and Shaw need to get up the wings more.This game should be 0-0 still. Thought we have played okay, yet the final ball is missing completely. We are relying on AdM to make something happen and it's a shame we haven't gotten anyone at the end of his crosses. RvP looks a bit rusty, as does Januzaj. It's a shame that our movement is so limited up front which in turn makes Mata totally useless, having to pass the ball sideways all the time. We create to little clear cut chances to it's up to LvG to make a change now.
Van Persie has had two clear cut chances, Di Maria had a very good chance also. We've just been lacking the final ball.
That's Manzier
"Former Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho revealed on Monday that Varane had 'one foot at Manchester United' before Zinedine Zidane convinced him to sign the promising defender."
Mata was wide open and had loads of time for a side footer in to either corner. Di Maria was also on his own on the opposite side of the box. Selfish and poor play from RvP after some brilliant work.
Rojo has had a superb half so far.What a shitty few days this has been.sterling > januzaj
hard truth.pfff just watched the first goal properly. Our midfield is far too static.i honestly liked the formation on paper, but its just not working at all. Disorder and chaos. Blind and Herrera moving all around leaving behind always space for WBA to attack.
bring Carrick in for Blind/Herrera maybe to put some order.
Shaw also really bad performance.
LvG needs to make changes now and hopefully put some fire under our player butts
Herrera I rate.
Now now sense will not be tolerated in this threadNever thought I'd see us turning to Fellaini and Young to bail out the new signings.
Agree to an extend. Have you noticed that every time he gets the ball, there are 2 defenders in front of him
Nah, at least we had Januzaj who was playing defenders apart, this is just nothing.Well he's warming upWe're playing quite well with the ball. Without it we look poor. Not enough urgency though.
RVP's been better.
Herrera> Fellaini is looking likelyFellaini warming up.
Seems Herrera will go off. He's not looking good at all.Best player has been Blind. Worst was Herrera.
Bring on Carrick & Falcao, get Di Maria in the center. We can still win this.Gone behind to a goal which the lad will never score again and that's about it, WBA just sitting back and hoping to catch us on the break. Poor to watch from our point of view, no real tempo to our play and we already look void of ideas.
Something needs to change otherwise we'll be leaving here with nothing.
How on earth would Fellaini come in for anyone but Herrera?We clearly have the superior players to wba but they are just very organized and it will take a penalty or something similar for us to breakthrough at this rate.
Just not seeing how Mata or RVP deserve a place in the team right now. Might be better served having Carrick and Blind together for away matches because it gives us more solidity.Game calls for Falcao.- Status
on to the list you go.
