We absolutely have to stop this nonsense of playing Martial on the left and Rashford on the right.

Shit ref aside, we should be creating more clear cut chances vs West Brom. If you blame this result on the defence, I feel you are missing the point. Too slow and labourious.

Just awful. Not one redeeming performance anywhere on that pitch. No speed, no creativity, no ideas. Why do we need Fred and McT in midfield against that lot? Martial and Rashford need binned for a few weeks.

Picked the wrong side. Lindelof is weak, even if he was fouled for the goal, they know to target him. Martial? Why? Greenwood should have started. Weak side with a weak manager. Sorry, but it's true.

A single point earned against relegation certainties SU and West Brom is completely unacceptable by any measure.

The players should be furious with themselves and so should the manager.

It's simply not good enough.

Ole - shit coach
Martial - shit player
Rashford - thinks he's better than he is
Bruno - woefully out of form
Maguire - woeful defender
Lindelof - see above

Words cannot describe the massive disappointment. West Brom was there for the taking. One point against the bottom two teams, what can we say? Ole's too passive for these games, the players must be terribly disappointed. I would say, they aren't able to handle the pressure of maintaining as high as possible in a league race.

Terrible again. Diagne was our best player today. The two fluffed chances he had at the end were the biggest contribution to us getting a point.

Pretty horrible to watch. I just think it’s the way they have been coached. We have a good first team and you can see the urgency in most of them. It’s players like Lindelof, Martial and recently the ‘10 touches to many’ Rashford that are letting the side down. Greenwood looked fantastic when he came on and that’s down to the coach for me.

Not sure what all the fuss was about end of first half? It was >2 mins, ball was in opponents half, ref had every right to blow the whistle?

We're just not that great tactically, we have players that can make a difference but Inshallah (hope for the best) football can only get you so far.

Brilliant play from Fernandes for the goal.
No strategy to break down a park the bus team at the bottom of the table.
Didn't really threaten but kept the ball, if that actually matters.
Could have conceded 3.
Defence has to be the worst in the top 6.


So basically, the same thing as all of the last 2 seasons, then.

Nosebleed FC. A horrible response to going top of the league. A lot of points shedded already. Mentally we aren’t there to complete with the big boys and earn silverware. West Brom were well worthy of their point, which says it all. A long second half of the season to try and finish top 4, and hopefully reach a cup final too.

Fair result, shit performance - joke of a defence

Martial needs to be dropped or sold, I was always Martial FC but he is done - Mason was much better than him. Rashford was pathetic too. Need to buy a proper striker, winger, CB and DM.

How the feck are we 2nd in the League? utter rubbish and not deserved to draw. Ole is clueless when it comes to breaking down teams that sit back. We are were we are because of the teams around us and that says it all!!!!!

Dropping 7 points to Sheff United, West Brom and Everton with 10 seconds left is gutting.

Feel like results have finally caught up to performances after the Christmas period and before where we were falling over the line a lot in games.

I don't want to see people blaming the ref or VAR or any of that shite like RAWK do, we were terrible today, it was a quite typical performance that we didn't manage to get a lucky winner out of.

We're in a dog fight for top 4 and its just so disappointing.

Lindelof single handedly lost us the game, it’s as simple as that. Anyone who blames Ole for that loss is a weirdo.

I don’t even want to think where we would be without Bruno. All I know is, it wouldn’t be good.

I don’t even know what that says about us, but once again, the result is disappointing, but it’s the performance that is so poor again.

Ole’s record signing could well have cost us even the point.

Not good enough. Coaching set up needs surgery.

Lucky to escape with a draw but will take it, massive, massive point against tough opponent. On other side, piss poor performance, absolutely unacceptable, dont care who is in charge.

Who would have thought our issue this year would be Rashford, Martial and Greenwood not being half as good as the end of last season.

Our defence is average but we don’t create or take our chances enough to put these types of teams away.

Getting what we deserve.

Great save from Johnstone at the end. But not good enough in the 90 mins. Slow, ponderous, worrying reliant on Bruno, Rashford frustrating, Martial is low on form and confidence.
Title challenge was fun, but imo it has now gone. Drawing against WBA and losing to Sheffield United isn't title winning results.

Rashford hasn't been good at all for a while but at least offers a goal or a good delivery now and again. Martial is just pointless.

It'll be interesting to see what the wider reaction to West Broms goal is. If you're allowed to physically push someone's face out the way of competing for a header, it could be a bit of a game changer.

Bad two points dropped, we started too slowly again, their goal shouldn’t have stood but it wasn’t good enough again. Some wicked crosses from Rashford but other than that struggled to create much of note. Also let them have too many chances, Lindelof had a difficult game, we would do better with a bigger, stronger defender in these games.

Shite performance. Maguirr is our most creative player. Cavani anonymous. Bruno awful apart from goal, Rashford martial same. Did anyone play well? Greenwood when he came on that's about it.

Red Card for Casemiro!
They parked the bus, and we couldn't break them down. Lucky to not lose with all their counters.

Ole responsible for the goal conceded. Not one of his better days as a manager.
