West Bromwich Albion 2:2 Manchester United

Sassy Colin · Oct 20, 2014

Louis will sort us out in the dressing room, we'll see a difference in the second half.

Dies Iray · Oct 20, 2014

If I may wax nostalgia. I kind of miss the pep that SAF brought and the idea that 'you know what, it does't matter how good you are or how it turns out.. Just turn on the ball and try something.. It doesn't matter if it comes off or not.. Just try'.

It seems we are all trying to be technicians and rather than playing on instinct and with the rabid vigour to go forward. I miss that.

vidal7 · Oct 20, 2014

Fellaini on Herrera off.

thepolice123 · Oct 20, 2014

Fellaini should be on for Herrara. I don't think Herrara's fit for the match.

It was all about giving the lad assurances.

FYI We had 5 central defenders when Real got him.

Now I've seen everything in a match day thread.

Sorry, I just hate slow possesion play with no action, with no players who try something like Januzaj did last season. It's just restricting some players to follow a system/imagination and suck all the creativity out of them. The same what's happening at Ajax.

TeddyBear · Oct 20, 2014

We are playing a well organized team ?

Jesus , then each fecking week we are playing against one then.

Then something is very wrong when we are not putting these teams to sword.

with the travelling he had to do for his country , he was never going to start tonight.

I think Di Maria has travelled more in his 2 games for Argentina in the far east and he runs far more than Falcao so I cant agree with that.

in any case looks like my nightmare of Falcao not playing is going to be compounded by Marwank Falafel is going to be coming on in half time... my worst nightmare all in one.

RVP just gets in the way now for some reason, he tries to get involved at the wrong times and occupies spaces that are too narrow and crowded with our own players.

Falcao would add the hold up play up front we need as our back 4 seem to be caught out by the most amateurish long balls played by the most rank average players, there making craig gardener or whatever his name is look like fecking Pirlo

we haven't lost to west brom in the EPL seems like yet another record were going to break for the wrong reasons...

COME ON UNITED FFS

SirJanuzaj · Oct 20, 2014

Come on, van Gaal. Make it rain on 'em hoes (WBA).

Make some changes. Mata and Januzaj are nowhere creating enough. And also take di Maria back to the CM-position. He's much more dangerous deepere on the pitch rather than the flank.

Van Persie spends games jogging around, way too comfortable as he knows he won't be dropped

That's how he's always played

Micha · Oct 20, 2014

Guys, we have been abysmal this half, but it is way too early to rip into van Gaal and especially to write off Januzaj or Shaw, who are still kids.
Let's see what the second half brings, and if we are still shit, I am positive the team will sort it out over the next week.

Critizise the performance today, but the complete write-off of players and manager is really cringeworthy.

And? He still takes his time far too much, he has options to pass and doesn't make them.

Do you disagree that he slow us down?

No but he needs a run of games...This is his first start in a new system with new players.We are not getting the ball forward early enough so everytime he gets the ball WBA are back into position.

Boycott · Oct 20, 2014

Gary Neville gets accused about being stuck in this old fashion "United Way" but tonight he's right.

It's not about being fast and furious but we lack invention. We lack drive. Everyone wants the ball at their feet and we're getting the ball and sending in backwards way too often.

It's WEST BROM NOT CHELSEA

sterling > januzaj

hard truth.

What does this even mean? I think everyone at this point knows that Sterling is ahead of Januzaj in their development due to playing time.

Problem for Januzaj is he has to try and break into a team with the likes of Di Maria and Mata in the team, meanwhile Sterling is competing with who exactly?

If he already had one foot in and then a French legend who was probably his hero growing up comes to you and says, 'we want you at Madrid' then there isn't much more we could have done.

I hope you are right Colin, for once...

Alex Styles · Oct 20, 2014

I'd sub in Falcao at 60 minutes.
Januzaj and Mata have offered nothing.
I hate to say it but it looks like we ARE missing Rooney.
Di Maria is running up and down the pitch too much, he won't have anything left for the last 10 minutes.

Smores · Oct 20, 2014

Feck off with the United vs Chelsea advert Sky you fecking cnuts

Shane88 · Oct 20, 2014

Christ, Chelsea next.

Hoof balls and clueless defending. It's like watching last year's United.

Where is the passing, the pressing? The Chances? We create less than fecking Stoke. We should be studied, this is actually fascinating.

Our pressing has been excellent.Except the goal , sessegnon hasn't gotten a sniff of the ball. We're lacking the killer pass since West brom are packing the defence

Didn't seem fit.

Jesus christ, one goal down where we've looked like the better team and people are acting like complete arseholes in here. You'd think we're being outplayed by them here. Sure, our final ball has been lacking and many of our players haven't been up to standards, but some people are acting even worse than that lot over at RAWK whose team was outplayed by QPR last night. There's still another 45 minutes to play, so calm your tits, fellas.

Yeah because we always turn up the second half don't we.

Pyroblazer · Oct 20, 2014

Fellaini

Mk1988 · Oct 20, 2014

How much longer are we gonna have to look at Rvp jogging around like he doesn't give a toss??

Ramshock · Oct 20, 2014

wow Fellaini has quick turning ability..watch out Lallana

Herrera · Oct 20, 2014

We still haven't won an away game...

AllezLesDiables · Oct 20, 2014

Playing in too much of a hurry in the final 3rd almost like the football is a hand grenade.

Maccaa · Oct 20, 2014

Fellaini coming on, means we'll probably play even slower. ffs

Irrational. · Oct 20, 2014

Fellaini will add a bit of elbow in the midfield.

pauldyson1uk · Oct 20, 2014

OH no Side Show Bob is one.

Mad Winger · Oct 20, 2014

Mata has been invisible. If things stay like this, then he's bound for the bench the moment Rooney is back. Which sucks, because Rooney is not a good long-term solution in the no.10 role.

I'll probably get killed for saying this, but the current team would have been more fluid in the attacking third with Kagawa behind the striker(s).

NinjaFletch · Oct 20, 2014

Sassy Colin · Oct 20, 2014

Fellatio coming on! Herrera clearly not fit

Sied · Oct 20, 2014

I hope LVG knows what he's doing bringing Fellaini on, because I sure don't.

Raw · Oct 20, 2014

Good luck Fellaini.
