Its January and were between West Ham and Crystal Palace. Have our standards really dropped this low?

I'm a huge cynic, but we should've won. That being said...we are a mid table club. So, I guess I'm happy with an away draw?

Rooney was better. Good assist. Good pen. Amazing goal for the third. To be honest, when it fell to him I just thought no chance it goes in. When it hit the net I was stunned. Wonderful goal.

Our defense is not nearly as good as people say. Blind is turning into a liability. Smalling actually made mistakes today. Darmian was okay. Young was okay.

Schneiderlin was not so good.

Fellaini is not nearly good enough to be playing for us.

Herrera looks afraid. Got himself into great positions over and over but rarely does anything with it. Gave the ball away so many times I was laughing.

Lin...great take for his first. Worked hard. Awful miss. Then LVG decides to destroy his confidence even more by immediately subbing him off. He doesn't have what it takes to be on a team that is "supposed" to be as big as us.

Martial was good and dangerous at times but his decision making is still juvenile.

Bottom line...LVG has been here long enough to concede that this is his team. I have been saying since he arrived that we are a 7th place team and he is proving me right. Is it good enough for me? No. Is it good enough for any of you? More importantly, is it good enough for our owners and board? I guess it is cause even after our terrible run of form he is still here. Better to live by our club ethos of "not being a sacking club" than to do what is required. Down, down, down we go.

I watched the foul for their penalty a number of times and I don't get why it's a penalty for them. Both players were all over eachother, it was six of one half a dozen of the other.

I cannot stand this shite about a good or exciting game........the game is not good if we lose. Id rather win 1-0 with our shite football than that result. We keep doing that and top 4 will be gone.
You'd have a point if the boring shite was getting us results but it hasn't been. There's every chance we'd have dropped points playing the usual shite. Give me a game like that and 3-3, than any of the countless 0-0s we've endured.

You have to take those chances though when you are in front. Not actually that pissed off, it was a great game just couldn't keep the heads.

Newcastle hadn't scored in 4 games then go and put 3 past us.

Disappointed with Darmian tonight, as well the obvious crap from Fellaini. Mata an absolute non entity when he was brought on. Enjoyed it more than the nil nillers though so there is that. Fair play to Rooney for turning it on tonight, but that should be standard fare for a 300k per week player...

This was just like 12-13. Like that Reading game or Southampton game that season.

I do sympathise with Van Gaal a little. It's almost as if we can't be trusted to play free flowing, forward thinking football, and so he puts the brakes on. Every time he's pressured into loosening us up a bit, we show just why it's not a good idea. Entertaining game, but we were awful at the back.

We just can't seem to find a happy medium with our attacking style and defensive solidity.
He was given 250 million pounds to ensure that doesn't happen, what's there to sympathise with? it's his job to make sure the exact opposite of what is taking place doesn't happen.
It's his fault, the buck ends with him, it's not an indictment on the players, it's on him and his continued horrible performance as Manchester United manager.

It seems to either be entertaining football but being very exposed and shit in defence or being well organised and good defensively but producing nothing in attack and playing the most boring football on the planet.

In terms of results we can't seem to get any points either way

This team disgusts me in every way. I'am starting to hate about every fecking thing about this team from the staff to the players to every fecking game and second I'am watching them. It is really not healthy anymore !

And then the fecker smiles. I hope this was the last straw and now LVG can feck him off to someone else. Disgusted to see that clown don the famous shirt.
For once it wasn't LVG's fault. Big players in defence made uncharacteristic mistakes and costed us two points

For me UTD lost it when they tried to see the game out with Young at around the 85th min, we should have continued to pile on the pressure but we resorted to dull tactic and i said to my mates watching the game with me that they're going to end up scoring, we've back off and guess what, they did exactly that.

When the feck is it going to be? What have these cowards got to do before they get any share of the blame for these dogshit performances?

Lost for words really. Players to blame over the manager.

At least it wasn't boring I suppose. Still a further two points dropped and now looking increasingly unlikely to get 4th if it carries on.
Why?

When we attack the shite defence is exposed. IMHO we need 2 decent centre halves.

For the first time in years I had a lot of fun watching us. Pissed about the result though. We should be doing better than that against this lot.

Decent going forward. Scored 3. Lingard and Fellaini missed two great chances. But shit ourselves every time they attacked. Not good enough.

We can't score when we defend. We can't defend when we attack.

No balance

I'm so confused after that. It definitely wasn't boring but that defending was awful and some of the passing at times too. To be honest it did seem like an off day for the likes of Smalling just so happened to coincide with a game where we played our most adventurous fooball of the season. Just if we are going to play like that, and I do hope we continue like this, can Fellaini not play.

Fecking useless, just sideways and backwards, forwards scared to make runs, no pace or attempts on goal...oh. Fecking useless, totally exposed at the back, just wide open, naive...

Indeed. Had we played the boring style, we'd probably have lost, scoring 1 or 0 goals, while they'd score 2.
In any case, it was the most exciting game we have played in, in a very long time.

Of course a 3-3 draw is better than a 0-0 draw for excitement. However, I said a 1-0 win which everyone was still complaining about. I cannot stand people saying, 'at least it was entertaining'......we dropped MORE points and still leaves us struggling.

Kinell even Weat Ham are ahead of us now. Gotta wonder at what point do the board get twitchy, we have a huge battle to retain our CL place.
