Poor, unconvincing. And that’s just about Bournemouth’s display.

Why are we in the 90th minute with McTominay pushing forward, and nobody is supporting? We need a goal, the players should be steaming forward yet they’re milling around the halfway line. This is not Ole’s fault!! My god are the players idiots? How good of a manger do we need to make players understand to attack when we’re losing with 5 minutes to go? Are they idiots?!?

Another poor performance against a mediocre team who hadn’t scored for 6 hours. United never looked like scoring. Only plus was that Ashley Young is suspended next week. I am beginning to really worry that we could be relegated.

Start Williams from now on, order a drugs test on Pereira and someone please board up Jesse Lingard's front door once he's back inside.

Hate this team, hate everything about it. Return on investment is a joke, shame the mass culling required at all levels of this club will never come.

The useless Pereira is replaced by the similarly useless Lingard. Great choice there by Solksjaer. Massive mistake by AWB defensively but Young was at fault for not challenging the player crossing the ball enough as well.
Overall, the trio of Rashford, Martial and James can be quite dangerous if we have two midfielders who can pass the ball properly. The amount of times Pereira, McTominay and Fred misplaced potentially dangerous passes is insane. On top of that, none of them is a true goalthreat, so the defense will give them tons of space and focus on shutting down our front three with multiple players.

A really unnecessary loss against a poor Bournemouth. I mean Bournemouth was so shit, I was shocked they even got a goal.

People who compare Fred's midfield performances to other players to say he's been good in the matchday always overlook that the opposition let him be the one to have time on the ball since they can't cover everyone.

They know he can't do any damage, they would literally rather have him on the ball than either of our centrebacks.

The sad thing is everyone knew how the game would pan out when Bournemouth scored. Why can we never equalise never mind win a game after going a goal down.

The ref was incredibly poor. Bournemouth did everything to spoil the game and won with a sucker punch. We should've had a pen and Bournemouth a man sent off.

Having said that, we were shite and created diddly until the last ten minutes of the game. A draw would've been a fair result.

Feck football.

Good ten minutes before 80 minutes of nothing. Any good players we have aren’t consistent and when you have a player whose only contribution is work rate playing behind a striker you’ll struggle to score goals.

It's not really surprising anymore, which is probably the worst thing.

The is truly worse than Moyes and LVG combined. They never have us bottom half of the league. I'm done watching united until Ole is gone. I almost smashed my TV every match watching Ole shit football.

We’re a good counter attacking team but can’t play any other way. Especially with the “creative” players we have. My word are there no better number 10s at the club that the two we had today?!

that chance at the end for Lingard ... my word. Hit it first time you twat.

I’m firmly on the side that these players aren’t good enough. Fred and Perriera today we’re truly shocking.

We can't score goals in open play. Nowhere near enough quality. With Fred, Pereira and Lingard playing that's hardly surprising. Add AWB being zero threat in attack. and we've got nothing.

Our defenders will rightly be criticized for the goal but the fact that we failed to score is more indicative of our problems.
The scoring side is the problem for me as well. Yes we conceded one goal, we should be able to outscore most teams. The midfield is the biggest problem, no creativity to provide for the attackers and very few goals from that area either.

Honestly, I expected a loss so I'm not that bothered. It still sucks, though.

How the duck Greenwood miss that chance.
Played well but need RVP, or RVN type of forward.

I mean this is not different to our previous few games, except we didn't get a pen.

How can a team this large with such resources be coached this badly. We know teams like Bournemouth sit deep against us yet we look utterly confused at this concept has been used, even though we do it ourselves.

Ludicrous how slow we move the ball and how little movement there is.

Disgrace is too soft a word.

No surprise. We are a joke against teams who sit back and let us have the ball - as we are clueless in possession. Pass sideways then back to halfwayline for the inevitable hoof up the pitch.

we can’t take corners or pass in tight situations.

Same old same old.

totally fecking awful. another game where the opposition keeper could pretty much have stayed in the dressing room. nothing in midfield, nothing up front, nothing from the boss. awful.. fecking awful. it's a disgrace. so appalling I've given MoM to Williams: he did more in 30 seconds than anyone else in their time on the field. and the thing is, most of us knew it was coming because it's been shite for almost every game

90 mins of my life I wont get back !!!! Gave away a stupid goal and did not look like scoring after that, the first 15-20 mins were actually not bad , some players have no passion for the club , no commitment, some are just shit and the there is Fred !!! £50m , FFS not worth 50p. Not blaming the dreadful conditions, it was the same for both teams, not blaming the ref, though he did OK , the pen was borderline.

Crap result which undoes any momentum we might have acquired over last 2 weeks. Can't fault the effort but there was a serious lack of quality in midfield, especially from Andreas. Rashford and James were pretty threatening but everyone else had a stinker.

And that's why I failed to jump on the optimism train this week. We are a very mediocre side with a poor manager, sure we'll have good periods but games like today should be expected from us.

Btw feck Ed. We desperately needed a goal today and our subs were Lingard, Greenwood and Williams.

Absolute Garbage and so so predictable , Pereira especially bad. Never thought id be happy to see Lingard come on, but no one could be any worse than Pereira today, utter rubbish. James probably only decent player we had.
