How the feck we degenerated from one of the best attacking sides in Europe to a shit team like this? I mean what on earth was SAF smoking when he signed the likes of Bebe, Obertan, etc? .
West Bromwich v Manchester United

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
We miss Nani big time, Obertan was utter wank that half.
Obertan seems to only want to pass to Evra. Neville really is having a nightmare. Afraid he's become a liability. They're both playing horribly, so we decide to put them both on the same side so the attacking and defending on that side is poor? Need to pull our heads out of our asses. West Brom are just strolling through our midfield. There are holes everywhere.
two new good midfielders would be nice
Almost every attack bar the goal has come from Neville's side. Somethin needs changing and it is Nev.
Yeah he looked absolutely exhausted after 12 minutes!
There's just no composure in posession of the ball. How a team can go so quickly from playing sublime football against Blackburn at home to such shoddy away performances is beyond me. There's something up with this team. I don't know if it's some mental barrier or what. But away from home we're a totally different team.
Go on, its justified now. Mind you, its still not over though.
He took Neville off at half time against Stoke....
Obertan's not "tired". He's just so nervous he can barely move. He's not got the bottle for this level.
Deserve to lose this based on what we've seen so far. Huge half time for Fergie. He gave Obertan another chance and he's just shown again that he's not good enough. He's got to swap him out. I think Gibson would be a better option. At least he's not scared of the ball.
Shit display again. Sick to death of it now. No one can string two passes together and each time wba get forward we look like folding over.
Will be furious if we keep it as it is with the 451 second half as rooney will be wasted yet again.

Dire first half. Rooney looks our only lively player to be honest. What's wrong with Anderson? He looks a shade of the player he was just last month. Hopefully we can regroup and take the three points.
Calm down, pretty much all top sides have been as crap. At least we're good at home.
Draws in those games will be fine, as long as we beat the WBA`s of the league that is.
I would give Obertan another 15.
Nev needs to be off 45 minutes ago unfortunately.

couple of considerations....
this is the crazy holiday season when we play so many matches.
We absolutely can beat those teams you mention on a normal day.
I have not seen any other team being better than us this season....
We have been poor in this match granted....
keep calm.
Not really, most of the team today is playing poor and we've done alright without Scholes recently, just an off day and when I say off I mean we're getting raped so far. Hopefully SAF sorts something out.
What happens to us on away days, ridiculous contrast to our home form.
On a postitive note, i think all of us can really make a killing from betting on draws for the remainder of Manchester United's away fixtures.
The whole team's just of colour today. Poor passing going forward esp our midfielders so putting too much pressure on the defence. Consistently on the backfoot.
But more to do with a yellow card on top of being skinned at times.
How come WBA are playing like fecking Barcelona at times ?
Yeah Bebe had a shocking half. feck me.
Dreadful performance, WBA walking through the midfield, the switch to 4-5-1 has made no difference and further isolates Berbatov.
The defence is again sat way too deep, we can't sustain pressure if every attack that breaks down ends in West Brom possesion
Why the feck didn't Park retire from international football after the WC. Could cost us so much.
Was thinking exactly the same. Neville has been a great servant for the club but he just looks like an accident waiting to happen. Slow and clumsy.Thank god for such a crap ref. I have rarely seen such a stitched on penalty.
Give Obertan a chance. He NEEDS minutes.
Obertan & Gaz off please
What??A football match lasts 90 minutes.
He's got some mental issues for sure. You can see the technical ability, but also a complete lack of composure and confidence to use them.
Neville should be brought off immediately, it's an accident waiting to happen.
I dont think the team has been that bad, its just in Obertan and Fletcher we have no threat on the wings and with Neville at the back we are leaving doors open. Most of their attacks have come down that wing or through Nevs poor positioning
Neville has to come off - for his own sake it's just not funny how poor he has been. Would he get in another PL side?
Yea let's judge a signing based on 45 minutes of football, and Bebe didn't even play you complete moron.
We are missing, Nani, Rafael and Park 
It speaks volumes of how poor this league is this year that we are top with this away form. Fergies apathy towards our depth of talent is hurting us. A few years ago we could handle rotating our team easily and win away games now we are using undeveloped potential and players who should be retired. It worries me.
Second time this season I have been fecking shaking with anger watching United. Same old shite and Ive had enough. Take the lead away from home, sit back, midfield give no cover to the defence, opposition equalise. Im sick to death of watching international footballers fail to pass a ball five yards to each other. We have been out fought, out thought and out played by a team in terrible form coming off the back of three straight defeats including a home panning by Blackburn. There is no fecking way we are winning this league this year because, for whatever reason, we are too shite to win an away game, even against terrible opposition. If we dont today that will be one in what, ten? Blackpool have won five aways. Nothing created since the goal and, lets be honest, we should be at least down to ten men and 2-1 down.
We just can't play in bad weather/poor pitch. Most of our players are too finesse for this type of game. Looks like we also have the wrong studs on or our players are just not into the game. What a selection by SAF on Neville.
