West Bromwich Albion 2:2 Manchester United

Hed Zitin · Oct 20, 2014

That was appalling. Just chucking the ball in the box like some championship team. Is that what the managers is telling them? Is that the philosophy?

Januzaj was rubbish. Mata was invisible. Fellaini was the only one with any credit.

The defense is a shambles. We're going nowhere with this defense. Dawson would walk into this side.

revel911 · Oct 20, 2014

People, WBA are a good team. We fought back for a tie, so I will take positives in that. We looked decent defensivley minus a few lapses, which we need to control.

Mata, Adnan and RvP not showing enough. Rooney will be gaining his spot back over Mata.

Hoping Angel is okay, maybe okay by at least City.

Sampy93 · Oct 20, 2014

Looks like it's going to be a while until we get another win.

TeddyBear · Oct 20, 2014

I don't ever want to listen to what "philosophy" crap ever.

It is getting fecking annoying.

Bad result, we have to beat Chelsea now.

Now is not the time for jokes.

Jones out of position for second goal

walkinhop · Oct 20, 2014

The majority of the team are playing at 60% of their abilities. RvP should be dropped.

GE · Oct 20, 2014

Falcao being on the bench for 70 minutes is a focking joke.

#07 · Oct 20, 2014

Relieved to get a point but there are probably more negatives to take from that game than positives. Yes, we dominated for large chunks of the match but we were opened up so easily. Only salvaged it when West Brom went defensive to try and hold onto the points.

Danny Boi · Oct 20, 2014

Mata,RVP and Januzaj all dire.And some people were hapy when Rooney was suspended.

Absolute rubbish.

Some real depressive comments here!

Can't people see that our ONLY problem is our defence??
If we build a good defence we're competitive from then on.

Januzaj was absolutely dreadful. Slowed down our play on pretty much every attack.

He looked well off the pace, exactly like someone who has been playing no first team football.

We should have won, but at least we fought back. Herrera should have been kept for Chelsea. He was obviously not fit.

we did not wilt. Blind should have buried that second chance.

West Brom are a good side and deserved a point. But in the second half we had enough chances to win this...and we would have no problem if we had Rooney...just how important he is.

saivet · Oct 20, 2014

We should have taken Januzaj off instead of Mata imo. Mata didn't do much but Januzaj was very poor out there. It also took us too long to adjust when Falcao and RVP we up top. We were lumping it long and there was never a man dropping a bit deeper to do anything with the ball.

Manucho the boss · Oct 20, 2014

At least we showed we can play for the full 90, and there was a bit more commitment 2nd half, we'll need to up that if we're to avoid embarrassment against Chelsea and City.

New Valencia. Can't work out who is the worst crosser!

pauldyson1uk · Oct 20, 2014

One point not good enough, not by a long way but to be honest more that we deserved, Defence is just not good enough, ripped apart twice by a very average WBA and what is worse their only 2 good shots on goal , we have 3 very tough games now and I fear for the score I really do

Can't even beat any of the lower league teams away from home.

Burnley, Sunderland and now West Brom. All draws. You must beat these teams if you have any chance of a top four place.

Fooza · Oct 20, 2014

What exactly is LvG's philosophy?

Hoofing it up to Fellaini seemed more effective.

Sorry but I disagree … our manager needs to know there are no easy games in this league … he treated this one flippantly. 12 points from a psossible 24 against the teams we've been gifted in such an easy start???? The next 8 games will crucify us if we don't get it together!!

The only silver lining is that hopefully we cut out the silly mistakes when the big matches come around. Concentration should be up and hey..maybe we play better against the big teams this year? Who the feck knows.

hbgreg · Oct 20, 2014

We're gonna lose the next two, Crystal Palace is a game we should win like 2-1 or something. 15 points until the next break.

Moonred · Oct 20, 2014

Chelsea's first defeat next week. Our first away win at the etihad after that. Easy.

ScarleyUtd · Oct 20, 2014

Pleased for Blind. Balls of steel.

ridicfox · Oct 20, 2014

Draw not what we needed and many will say not acceptable, considering our defensive issues though I will take that result right now. Can't say I'm looking forward to our next 2 games though and with those taken in to consideration, yes I think a win was a big must tonight.

Bobcat · Oct 20, 2014

Jesus, all this kneejerking in this thread is embarrasing. Not a great match by any means, but WBA hardly created anything except one very good counter attack and a terrible defensive lapse by us.

We hit the post, had plenty of set pieces and got denied (yet another) stonewall penalty. (feck YOU DEAN, since when is it okay to play volleyball)

Holters · Oct 20, 2014

3p Blind

2p Fellaini

1p Rojo

do9 · Oct 20, 2014

Well i think that we played very good. 22 shots. Defence costs us.

Nickosaur · Oct 20, 2014

Maybe I should be worried, but I'm not. Still a work in progress. I feel that when we have a defence that can actually hold its own, we'll be a force.

He is called "teenager", that means he will have some shit games, some good games and hopefully in 2 or 3 years find consistency on the right side of those two extremes.

Summit said:
Nah, he is called Adnan.

Sheasy_Legend · Oct 20, 2014

I will say again it's either we play 442 and drop Mata or nothing else!

Drift · Oct 20, 2014

terrible result considering the next 3 games coming up

felipe · Oct 20, 2014

How we didn't win this fecking piece of shit game I will never know. Fecking referee twat and abysmal defence. How many shots on target did they have? Two or three?

Fecking shambles.

Wednesday at Stoke · Oct 20, 2014

My stream kept going on/off and I was watching while working but that seemed like a good draw. Unlucky to not win and one brain fart to play onside on the 2nd goal but otherwise I loved the cohesiveness and team shape, fighting back twice from a deficit. Not the worst result. We could likely have got more had we played Falcao from the start. Van Persie is woefully out of form.

cleansomeshop · Oct 20, 2014

Thought we were shite, looked like a Moyes team, except Di Maria can actually cross a ball.

Virror · Oct 20, 2014

no Rooney = no United

It's definitely the case for Blind. He disappears around the hour mark.

thats why we came from 2-1 down to get a draw late on . duhhhhhhhhhh

We are man united for Christ sake! How can we be happy with that? And our defense? Rafael and Jones are quite simple average to good, we need more quality there. The defence can't be good 89 mins of a game and have to feck ups and get away with it. So I don't think they were good to be honest.

Schweinsteigeradi · Oct 20, 2014

The problem is the defence really. We have no god given right to score 4 goals every match. The defense must give a win when we score 2 goals 8 out of 10 times. For a top team at least.

jojojo · Oct 20, 2014

We're all over the place - good, bad (and unlucky) - all wrapped up in a 90 minute package. We must be fun to watch if you're a WBA fan.

Theonas · Oct 20, 2014

We just have to accept that being a force once again is going to take time. We are making stupid mistakes and are not clinical enough but we're definitely moving in the right direction.

Jazz · Oct 20, 2014

Ah well, we'll just have to go and beat Chelsea! Mind you, I wouldn't be surprised if we actually did that - won a game that no one thinks we can....
