    Sanchez has been fouled pretty much every time he's got the ball. Pogba has been fouled 2-3 times without the ref being interested. And we have good shouts for two pens.

    I think the team has played relatively well, played as a team and been committed.

    Ref been terrible so far.

    Small time to blame the ref when United could not score.

    Sanchez really is making us look so disjointed. He's all over the place and not in a good way. He's always occupying the same space as Pogba.

    He's been very good so far.

    Better than last week overall. Smalling needs to get a grip though. Arnautovic is running rings around him.
     
    Wouldnt it be nice to see us attacking with power, pace and aggression. Really from the wings squeeze the play high up the pitch and batter the opposition. My god this football is garbage
     
    Well, we may be boring West Ham to death, might score a goal when they fall asleep.

    Lucky I have Fridays off, if I had to stay awake to watch this with work tomorrow, which I likely would, it would just seem more awful.
     
    Am I the only one who thinks we’ve been quite good? Unlucky not to score and should have had at least one penalty.
    Expect us to score at least 2 in the second half as long as this ref doesn’t get completely behind the home team.
     
    What's happened to Herrera?

    He does that thing where as soon as he receives the ball he instantly passes it back to where it came from, even when he has acres of space to turn behind him.

    So frustrating.
     
    This feels like watching a match on FM when there's one highlight in an entire half, and it's of Pogba smashing the ball in to row Z
     
    Think as usual, you see we're not drilled at all with how we attack. It's all down to individuals to make something happen.
     
    How is that a handball on Pogba, but not Zabaleta? Both unintentional, both achieved possession after the ball hit the hand, but only one was called...

    Intention should be taken out of the ref’s decision making process. If an advantage is gained by the ball making contact with the player’s hand, it should be an infraction.

    This play would have been an outlier due to the West Ham player moving Pogba’s hand into it. Balls blasted into hands from little distance would be tough calls against the penalized team, but, if intent was taken out of the equation and advantage gained was the main criteria, it would balance itself out over the course of a season.

    I really like Neville as a bloke, but his punditry for us is fecking nauseating.

    He's talked utter garbage all game. Don't know why he's moaning about Sanchez. Sanchez dropping deep and lifting the ball over the top is how we got back into the game against City. His commentary has become so one dimensional. Maybe Sky fired some of the analysts who feed him with gems before he goes live? The quality of the punditry has discernibly dropped.

    United need more from centre midfield. Pogba ironically has to dribble less while the other two need to dribble more. There's too much Van Gaal ball at the moment where they just knock it sideways when there's a chance to go between the lines. At least the wing backs are getting forward. It'd be great if they could cross though! :lol:
     
    Playing without a striker seems a real good idea.

    Playing with 5 at the back is a equally fantastic decision.
     
    Is it me or are West ham parking the bus with the intention of hitting us on the counter?
    It's working for them I guess but we look clueless going about it.

    Actual human doing soccerball are so boring. I never let my 'players' waste gametime. My team NEVER pass sideways.

    EDIT:
    Especially Scot human. Always penny pinching, cagey as feck and always passes sideways.

    The good old 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 formation. You can't pass sideways if there ain't anyone there.

    Not just you. We looked better than against Brighton
     
    A few decent attempts from range, but that good effort that fell to Shaw aside we aren't getting the ball in and around the box anywhere near enough. Our fullbacks and central players look hesitant in possession around the 18 yard box, which is annoying, but honestly what are they meant to do when no-one is showing for the ball in dangerous areas?

    I think Shaw's been good and Sanchez is having a go, but it's been pretty listless so far. We're crying out for the likes of Sanchez, Lingard and Pogba to get on the same wavelength regarding bursts into the box.

    What are you expecting from Moyes? Will try to make it difficult for them to score

    An atrocious service from money grabbing charlatans. Amazing how they’re allowed to get away with this sh!t. Mine freezes every few mins or so. Missed West Ham winning and taking a corner.

    It's their best bet. Arnautovic is great on the counter. Too many mistakes in the build up to really pressure them.
     
    We've done enough to be winning this. Sanchez should have scored, Shaw unlucky not to. McTominay and Lingard with a couple of half chances. Lingard doing well for me, i like his direct style as opposed to Pogba's usual laboured style.

    Shaw has been good, if not our best player. This is the sort of attacking contribution we should expect from our fullbacks on a consistent basis. I still don't think Shaw is the right left back for us moving forward but kudos for tonight's performance.
     
    In this match, Adrian has made the most saves out of any goalkeeper in 2018 in the first half(PL only). Surprising stat.
