A draw away to Everton is not the worst result in the world, so i am not that bothered really.

Pogba though...why in the flying feck did he get to play the whole match, that was a genuine 2/10 performance. And Fellaini can just feck off

Pathetic. We were actually very lucky to a) Not get a red card early on. b) Get a goal gifted to us. c) Not concede a second at the end. Apart from first 15 mins of 2nd half, we could not organize any meaningful attacks, and were misplacing every second pass. Simply not acceptable.

How many times do we have to say it? Sell Fellaini. Even if we take a loss. Sell him. He does us no good and for some reason our managers just love playing him.

Nothing good comes of him being on the pitch. Absolutely nothing. After conceding the penalty he looked either confused or didnt give a feck about it. Was a terrible challenge to make and anybody else wouldnt have made that error. But he is slow as feck therefore he will always be late on a challenge.

3 Points thrown away. The season is over already. Unless by some miracle we win the EL.

Hopefully we stay in 7th or 8th place so we get a CLEAN run at the prem next year. Its definately benefited chelski and the dippers.

We can't stop here. This is bat country.
Mata should've been brought on so we could hold the ball.

We completely surrendered dominance and allowed a donkey like Fellaini to get caught out.

Until we start burying games we'll be facing these results all season.

I'm genuinely starting to sympathise with those who say LVG was better, or at least no worse than Jose. We've had even worse results this season and every single league match is like Groundhog Day. Seeing us this mentally fragile week after week is painful.

Not scoring enough in the League. Need another goal per game from somewhere in comparison with teams above.

Fellaini & an Oliver, what can you say?

A feisty, competitive game but why we chose to shut down for the last 30mins is beyond me. Too many hopeless balls, no composure whatsoever.
Pogba was poor in his role, Mhiki disappeared long before he was subbed and Darmian is a weak link nearly every time he plays.

Some will blame tactics and whilst they didn't help, there is little you can do when experienced players sh*t the bed and stop doing the basics (like passing to a team-mate) for an entire third of the game.

Everton ended up deserving the draw.

Arse was on rashford they didn't look like scoring at all and we were still competitive 15mins from time against a top side.
This one tho, when we were bossing the game looking like scoring a second, we needed a final ball and we needed mata, instead as we got a disaster
Wasn't on Rashford at all. We parked the bus after scoring and Arsenal looked like scoring ever since. Just like today. It's on José.

I understand dropping deep and defending with 10 men at the 85th minute, but when you drop deep for 20 mins against a team that's as direct as Everton and then bring on a buffoon that has no business playing football for us you pay the price. absolutely livid with this result especially that Everton looked clueless until we let them play.

"Can Manchester United score? They always score"
To be fair, we were toothless this game. Didn't deserve to win. And with a manager who has no balls to make the necessary changes, we're not going to get anywhere.

I'm really close to giving up on this club.

Moyes... Van Gaal... Mourinho. Same shit, different name.

Done with this shit.
You are lying to yourself.

It's impossible to walk away.


Let's just take our pain. It's going to last for a while yet.

Does Fellaini pay managers or something to get game time? most pointless player ever. He is a foul waiting to happen, hes no even good in the air! he has like one goal from a header at United. A player like him getting playing time instead of mata just reflects our current below top 4 standard

Blaming Mourinho for this one. Should not of sat so deep with 20minutes to go plus stoppage..
Sitting back with so much time left with this makeshift defence.. nothing short of idiotic.

Should of kept a highline and forced them into mistakes as they got more desperate.
Maybe make a sub or two earlier. Like Blind for Darmian..

Can't say that I blame you.
Spineless management that sees your pace players replaced by a fecking donkey hat gives away fouls for fun and no doubt the Cnut will say we were unlucky!

Fcuk Mourinho. He's taking this club down the fecking toilet

It is when we're in the form we're in now. It's another must win that we fecked up yet again.

What's more annoying is that it could have easily been avoidable.

We actually played really well.
Suppose this is the beauty of football but I'd never describe us as playing really well.

Thought the passing was rough all game.

This is what we need though. It's alright doing it against Swansea and Burnley but that tells us nothing.

Today we came up against a hard working team that pressed well and we struggled. In particular the midfield three.

Fecked it up with the subs yet again.

Please can we stop bringing on Foulaini. He come on against West Ham (the last league game) near the end of the game and got a yellow in 10 seconds. He's clumsy as feck, the refs only have to look at him and they blow the whistle. It's been like this for over a year with his fouls slowing the team down and putting us on the back foot and important times. The little bit of good he does is vastly outweighed by the crap. He's not a Manchester United player. Please sell this Moyes bad buy soon as.

Shaken, and very stirred......
Agggh...so disappointing. But in all honesty I've kind of given up on the league. We are playing better football than we have in ages, but we haven't got that killer instinct yet. Better a draw than a loss but dam it's hard to swallow......

Fellaini? Well mate....you don't run forward on a player like that with your reputation......not into him as you did...that was just stupid.

We really are useless these days. Everton were piss poor, says it all that we drew. Not good enough for top 6, nevermind the title.

Oh well, the silver lining is that based on this season and last not having a European football is a massive advantage in the Prem these days. Bring on next season :(

Sucks to yet again drop points so late but considering we were complete shit for 95min and Rojo should have been sent off after 20min we should be happy with 1 point.

I think Fellaini is a joke of a player, pathetic and a slime ball. Who do I blame for this "defeat" .. Mourinho. what an utter disgrace to even bring him on. it does not take a genius to understand that Fellaini is a clumsy git with no ability. but hey ho Jose does what he always does ... sees we are winning and tries to kill off the game.

We have bastian Morgan not even in the team, why Fellaini? what are united managers obsessions with this pathetic guy.

On a whole we almost deserve to draw this game. 4th place is gone. city, Liverpool, arsenal and Chelsea are light years ahead of us. I'm sure we have spent more than any of them .. I make it half a billion! that would build 70% of the tallest building in the world.

We actually played really well. Great intensity. Credit to Everton, they played their pants off. Oh and sell Fellaini
We did? I thought we were quite lucky to score. We were a better side for the first 70 minutes, but not by much and had a little to show for it.

Game has moved on recently, being defensive doesn't win you titles anymore. Mouriniho does not seem to get it. By taking off attacking players with pace and flair means the opposition are not worried about counter as much. Mentally they know we are now defending. Psychologically not good

Stoke: Throw away a lead late on
Arsenal: Throw away a lead late on
Watford: Throw away a draw late on
Everton: Throw away a lead late on

It's either that or:

Burnley: Can't break them down
Liverpool: Play for a draw
West Ham: Go behind do get level then fail to score.

Every single match we either fail to take our chances and draw, or if we do go ahead invite them into us and draw.

Either way we always fecking draw.

We used to have Scholes to come on and see out a game...now we have Fellaini to come on and try his best to ensure we get that draw we seem to love so much.

Poor performance all game really and we just seemed to give up and not move from our own half but we could've still probably dug out the win if it wasn't for that donkey coming on.

Can't blame Fellaini. All we done was keep giving the back to them. Jose was right a complete lack of mental strength.

Is anyone really surprised with the result after the second half performance. We were absolutely terrible and had zero composure. Mourinho got the subs wrong and also the timing of the subs wrong. We didn't string together three passes after 60 mins.

Specialist in draw, so we are. Pathetic and if he doesn't take responsibility for this, then surely he is not the man to take this club forward. I have defended him all along and this game is the watershed moment for me.

Didn't play well, got what we deserved. You can't play great every game, but when you don't you can grind out wins like we should have done.

It intrigues me how people think we just decide to sit back, rather than thinking, "a top half team is trying to equalise at home so presses a bit higher, tempo is upped, etc..", it's just "we sat back because we're cowardly" or something. Fellaini came on to defend set pieces in the final few minutes, but it is Mourinho's fault he gave away a penalty within minutes of coming on.
