Post-match discussion

all over the place. All over them first 25, could have won it by half time, inexcusable start to the 2nd half (not the first time that has happened) battled to get to 4-3, and then nothing made sense afterwards. De Ligt or Maguire there we probably win
 
Last three home games - two points.
This game might've been killed off after 30 minutes.

It's just not good enough.
 
We were never going to win after all the missed chances.. It's like the players knew this was coming.
 
How do you look so good in attack and loom so bad at the back. I’m delusional it seems, I keep thinking we’ll get top 4
 
Football in the first half was powerful but faded after thirty minutes. Disastrous first fifteen minutes of the second half.

Overall, two points out of nine at home against Everton, West Ham & Bournemouth is not good enough.
 
Shambolic defending...summed up by the last 5 minutes wasted defending because no one can header a fecking ball forwards to clear danger..wafer necked pack of cnuts
 
Well we might have won if we even considered defending as part of the game. Fair enough though. Great stuff from Cunha.
 
Before anyone says we should have won comfortably, they had as many shots on targets as us (9), and triple the amount of big chances (2 vs 6).
We clearly had more than 2 big chances.
 
Never thought I'd say this, we miss the calmness of The Fridge at the back.

Do we have a defensive coach ?
 
Criminal to let them score 4, the same team that scored 6 goals in the last 2 visits to Old Trafford. You'd think they'd have some pride, but they don't care.
 
A weird game. We probably deserved to win, played some good football. A part of me wants to take the positives away, we tried something new and there were positive signs but at the same time, these feelings might be different if it hadn't taken a year to make the changes. Secondly, for as well as we did play at time, the new set up doesn't seem all that sustainable to me. We were effectively leaving the two in midfield again, with more in attack and less behind them. I'm not sure that same starting lineup / set up is stable enough defensively, even if we had more CBs available.
 
We’re a proper midfield, a settled defence and a 30 goal a season striker away from being a pretty good team (half the team needs sorting still)
 
I'm so confused about how to feel about that result. On the one hand it was some of our best attacking, on the other hand we cannot defend for shit.

At the very least we saw 4 at the back and that it does bloody work with this squad.
 
This was a brilliant time to play Bournemouth, as they're on a bad run. Defensively, to concede four goals at home is just crap. Unacceptable, really. Crazy game, but we had to win this.
 
Can we sack him already or is it still unethical at this point
 
It was a fantastic game to watch but another lost opportunity for us to get near the top 4. That’s our hope gone now with Villa and Newcastle next and the AFCON.

Defensively we are a mess and I don’t understand why Amorim keeps playing Yoro. He’s been awful for weeks now. It’s too easy for the CF to get into between the defenders and I think it’s caused by having 3 CB so no one knows who should follow the striker.
 
Quite literally exhausting watching this team.

It's like sending school kids out on to the playground and watching chaos ensue.
 
Pathetic. feck off with any positivity about going forward.

2 points for 3 home games against 10 man Everton, 18th place West Ham and a Bournemouth without a win in 6 is absolutely pathetic. Especially considering we led in the latter two games.
 
First half I thought we were really good, certainly the first half hour, and Amorim deserves credit for the fact that we're now fairly regularly starting games positively but we're so poor defensively (despite usually having an extra man there) that we've conceded 4 times and could easily have conceded more to a team in dreadful form. I still don't know where this team is going, I suspect absolutely nowhere with this ownership and head coach, but today's game was at least fun.
 
Only looked like one winner in added time, fortunate to get a point in the end. Defensively we were a shambles and Villa and Newcastle will brush us aside if there isn’t drastic improvement.

We just can’t handle the pace and power of teams at times, Cunha’s performance was a real positive but it’s more points dropped at home to a team we should be beating.
 
Midfield all over the place the last twenty minutes, Mainoo has no positional sense at all.
 
You can't get your noses in front and let that slip. We did it 3 times.
 
We have no midfield to control a game or to protect the defence.

Sort this out and things might be different.

Mbeumo was shocking tonight.
 
Most who play and score 4 goals at home to Bournemouth should win and win comfortably but not this United team.

Madcap match 3 times in front and needed two big saves from Lammens late on to avoid defeat.
 
It was alright. Shocking defending but atleast we looked up for getting something and can score goals again
