The only thing worse than the performance was having to listen to 5 live & their constant switch to Championship matched even in injury time.

OGS no game management 2 out of 5 subs used. Soton cock up & now this. Crikey 2 more points & Chelsea would be under pressure. Lose tonight & then they have Wolves which I can see as a draw. We have lost the possibility of us losing v LCFC & Chelsea dawing which would have been enough.

Must score 1st v Leicester.

One thing I don't get is why don't we switch play quicker when we have the play on one flank and the other side was wide open. Scholes was an absolute master at it.

It's not like we don't have the players to do that. Fernandes and Pogba are very capable. Would help in creating a lot of space to attack.

I don't get how they are so tired, they had three months off!
Because largely the same 11 players have played every 3/4 days and the 1 half opportunity we had to rest them we didn’t.

It's inexcusable for the team to be falling apart from exhaustion right after a feckfing three month break. Absolutely disastrous management.

I would be shocked if Leic put anything less then 3/4 past us. Dreadful coaching, there is nothing I can see which is above average in the way we play. Basically relying on indiv ability to create chances/goals to cheat your way to the biggest job in football. And then running the said players into ground because you basically cannot improve the squad players, is just bravo Ole!

I find it astonishing some fans think Ole can get this team to 85+ points to be contenders. And the

We can talk about the lack of quality, but how much quality do you need just to see out a 1-1 draw when our opponent was clearly happy with that result. We could have easily made all 5 changes around the 70 minute mark.

Absolute pathetic performance. We played that like it was a training match. We will lose to Leicester

Really poor, Matic has been shocking since getting his new contract, awful, awful performance from him needing 4+ touches when everyone else was taking 1, and gave away at least 3 silly fouls a way.

Imagine being on the bench for that and the manager not trusting you to come on.
Do we need a whole new bench for next season? What's the plan?

Apologies to Luke Shaw, we're a much poorer side with him on the sidelines

Right now I feel like we don’t deserve to get top 4. I have no faith in this team to win when it really matters and, despite the fact that we will be playing a team that is woefully off form, I suspect that they will come at us at 100 mph and we won’t be able to cope. Ole must have zero faith in his bench, because how he kept Pogba on for the full 90 and Rashford for 85 mins is a mystery to me.

Will we have the juice for the Europa League? I fear this team is done for the year

It's not as bad as people here suggest. Remember a few months ago when the chance of being in CL might come to final game -- everyone would have taken that, right? Well here we are. Yes, tired and yes not playing well but other than a penalty which we really 'gave' West Ham, we did not look like conceding and we got a point. Another point will do it. If we cannot avoid defeat at Leicester, we don't deserve it. But hey, maybe Chelsea will have a problem getting a point too, so keep the faith. We have a few days to rest and we have a 'cup-tie' type game to play which we 'win' even if we draw. Once season is over, that will do me.

need to avoid defeat for guaranteed top 4. Everyone of us would never have believed it a few months ago. Wasn’t remotely realistic.

very poor tonight and in the fa cup. Not great against Palace and poor against Southampton. But look at Leicester, they have dropped like a stone and thought top 4 was almost a certainty. Utd should be going into that game much the happier side.

I thought we were flat and West Ham the better team. I was expecting more energy and movement, but we seem tired. Thank God Greenwood turned up with that goal; it could prove massive. The final game is going to be a real test of nerve.

Rashford has been pathetic tbh. Looks like he's taken his eye off the ball. Literally. Someone said he's got three goals (one was a pen) and three assists since the restart but he's been pretty much our worst player in most of the games despite it.

Why didn't we rest Rashford and Bruno against Chelsea? Why did TFM start today ahead of AWB, and not on Sunday?

Why did it take 84 fecking minutes to sub Ighalo on?

Why did we only make 2 subs when it's so clear that most of the players are running on fumes?


Abysmal in game management as usual from Ole, but the bigger picture is again even more worrying. We're throwing it all away for a second season in a row because he can't plan ahead for shit. Embarrassing.
Thissss!!!! Really I don't know what did Ole think? Did noone give him any advice about rotating exhausted players? Hopeless coach team there.

Absolute dogshit, I don't know how no subs were made in midfield when no one seems to be able to run. Pogba was absolutely invisible and I don't know what difference would have it made if Fred was sent in who is fresher and actually can run and has bit of fight in him. Williams lasted whole game when he was looking duck out of water.

They should all be embarrassed, especially the manager. How can you not motivate your team to give a performance? We are poorly coached.

Been poor for 4 or so games now. Moyes had us spot on giving us width. Fosu mensah,Williams or wan bissaka couldn't deliver a decent ball if there life's depenend on it. In effect sacrifice an f.a cup final place to prioritise a league game ....fair enough but to then throw in such an abject performance like that. I honestly cannot remember fabianski making a save.Absolute dogshit. But in the greater. Scheme of things it hasn't really changed that much in respect to the Leicester game.

But they've played so many games with no recovery time since then. We have a weak squad but Sunday was moronic.

OGS is genuinely bottling it more than the team. Why sub TFM when he can move him to Williams's side and play Wan-Bissaka on the right still?

Why wait until the 80th minute to sub on Ighalo? Rashford was dire the whole game.

Why not sub Matic for Fred who will inject a bit more pace in the attack? Absolute joke of a manager we have.

Decent result, unless we won big tonight which wasn't going to happen against a defensive Moyes side then a draw or a win puts us in the same position for Sunday.

Even if we’d won by a goal we would have still needed a win or a draw vs Leicester with their goal difference.

Kinda wish we just rested every first teamer vs Chelsea and given the players a chance at the final two games. Still - had we won we would have needed a draw or win so things haven’t changed much

Greenwood seems to be correct in every single decision.

Ole has done brilliantly to get us in to third with the squad he’s had available through the season.

Reinforcements are needed, Thiago and Sancho would do nicely.

Right lads as fergie used to say we always do it the hard way, Leicester will have 7 days rest.:wenger::wenger:

Also, the 3 months off doesn’t help fitness. We a had two extra cup games compared to the likes of West Ham, Palace and Southampton.

The result is completely elementary, but the performance is depressing. Remember when the government said football returning would be good for morale? I don’t think I’ve ever been happier than when there was no United to piss on our chips :lol:
