fecking bluffers. Shit in game substations and game management again by Ole. Fred and McT against West Brom, pathetic.

I'd like to see the back of Martial and Rashford for a few games at least.

I'd actually think i would enjoy James running down the line for a change.

Feck this team

Feck EPL, just get top 4 and focus on other competitions.

BTW, what a good goalkeeper can do. Great save at the end from Johnstone.

Dogshit, bereft of ideas and drive, 2/3 of our attack utterly useless, and a defence that continually shits it’s pants

We don’t have any movement off the ball, the coaching has to be questioned. We also can’t keep a clean sheet, so we’re relying on individual brilliance & also hoping the opposition don’t take their chances. Title race was never on.

Rashford should not be undroppable. Been terrible for ages.

Top 4 scrap is where we're at. Not a ton of progress from last season but that's where we are at with this squad and management.

Boring match, wrong team picked. Martial needs to go, Rashford needs to get his act together. Rubbish result which shows how far away we are. Just glad it’s over. :lol:

Another pathetic effort

Time and time and time again we struggle with these defensive sides, it's a recurrent issue. We can identify it, I'd like to think Ole can but it keeps happening so is it that he doesn't know how to fix it?

Pretty simple. Martial doesn’t start and we win that. He was utterly pointless from minute one.

Would also help if Lindelof could perhaps grow a pair of testicles (it was a foul).

Fridel cnut. We all said it.
Maguires mistake was far far worse than Lindelofs, but will probably be forgotten because he's English and the WBA player scuffed the chance.

Crap in attack and defence.
Our form is abysmal if we take out beating 9 men

Martial, Lindelof were poor. Martial's season is a write off

Glad that Sheffield United game was just a one off and we haven't routinely dropped points since.

Not great but still 2nd in Feb and beyond anyone’s expectations.
On a side note, the match day thread is an utter disgrace from some posters.

No one in our front 4/5 deserve a space over Amad at this stage except Bruno. No one has proved anything in these last few games and it's time to try the kid out and see if he can do something that Rash, Martial, Cavani aren't doing.

It's time to drop Cavani one way or another too and some how include Amad as a sub when he's better.

Overall, shit performance. Too passive, too much overplaying, not enough movement and we're so lucky that West Brom didn't put one of their good chances away.

Rashford is so guilty of overplaying and Martial is offering so little. We don't look like we're going to score goals and we just keep hanging around the box waiting for Bruno to bail us out. Very disappointing game.

Never winning anything if we keep relying on streaky players like Martial and Rashford

Poor.

Still, another game that's decided by a horrendous piece of refereeing.

I'm tired of watching Rashford repeat the same mistakes again and again and again, it's ridiculous this his position in this team is unchallenged.

2 wins in 7, time to shake it up.

Starting games a goal down & only performing after a 3rd of the match passes is by isn’t exactly recipe for sustained success.

Absolute crap.

Season over, just like Liverpool.

The only way is down from here.

In a Top 4 fight now.

I said similar in the match thread but I’ll repeat here in light of that header. If Maguire is pushing up the field looking for a winner that’s fine. But if he’s doing that he should be a target in the box, where he is an aerial threat at least, not hanging out on the edge of the either occupying the space you want Bruno in or even being the one one the ball.

The slump is real, we're shaky at the back and clueless up front. Martial is in dire form but Rashford isn't far behind in terms of end product.

Bruno was poor, but again he scores a beautiful goal that will be forgotten amid two precious points thrown down the drain.

Battle for the top 4 is now on.

The CBs BOTH need replacing. Feck the price tags, neither are good enough.

Martial also has no more excuses for his abysmal season.

40 points from the first half of the season -> projected 80 points.

6 points from the last 5 games -> on this form we'll finish on 62 points.


We've started down a course for one of the biggest bottling jobs ever. Forget being surprise title contenders, it won't be long before Chelsea and Leicester are pulling away.

That goal against us should not have stood. Will Ole be any angry and rip apart the ref in post match? Did he ever complain to 4th ref during the match?

Sometimes the team collectively can run out of ideas, play bad like we played today. But there is no excuse for that goal to stand.

Let’s face it, the biggest difference between now and when we were winning is we aren’t getting penalties any more. Solskjaer creating his own problems by leaving Greenwood out, our central midfield is pedestrian and our defence is shit.

Just to remove any lingering doubt that we could still have a say in the "title race"

With Chelsea and City away back to back soon we might well be looking over our shoulders for top 4 unfortunately.

Shocking again, consistently need a bit of magic, faint title hopes over, hopefully we don’t get dragged into a top 4 battle.
