A constant boom bust cycle with Ole. If we lose the final serious questions need to be asked of his leadership.

Dreadful.

There is an unearned arrogance to these players and a piss poor mentality.

"We got CL, time to take it easy for a few weeks."

Villarreal will take us apart. We're not gonna be able to flick on good form.

Great momentum into the final and for next season. Ole the Motivator doing work.

Had enough chance to win but weren’t clinical.

Then the inevitable defensive feck up came

We are a poorly coached team. Not going to win titles unless there are major changes. I see a team like Chelsea under Tuchel and its apparent that the standard of the collective organisation is so much higher.

AWB needs serious coaching in defending his back post.

Bizarre and truly shocking.

How can anyone leave early from the first game after such a long time without fans?

15 points to City is a bit gutting but can't read much into this game. They are on holidays, we are just waiting for the EL final, at least the fans saw a nice goal
Shocking that is the attitude mind? If they’re on holidays it speaks volumes about the mentality. Especially with fans back.

What a dross second half. The so called defending on show was embarrassing.

Really hoping Maguire is for for the final because without him we look abysmal back there.

I am in shock that ole didn't want to win this. Greenwood and cavani won't be knackered by playing 5 mins more. Shocking, questions must be asked. I'm stunned.
Why did they, particularly Greenwood, do so little in the time they were on?

Sorry, Why did they, particularly Greenwood, do so little in the time they were on?

We're fecking useless when we play without pressure. 3 defeats, 1 draw and 1 win in our last 5. Couldn't even give the fans a win. This one was more on poor decision making in attack though. So many good positions that players were selfish in (probably wanted a goal for the fans), and just sloppy passes in the final 3rd.

Need to step it up in the final.

Disappointing performance. Can't blame tiredness / lack of prep or whatever for this one.

Odd team, Fulham. Guess they have more freedom after being relegated but surprised they’ve gone down if they play like that.

Bryan’s last game was the reverse fixture against us, the weirdo. What has he been doing? Sitting in a cryo-chamber for 5 months waiting for the day?

We're limping over the finish line which is a concern with the EL final just a week away. There just wasn't enough urgency and concentration from several players tonight.

Half decent 1st half but 2nd half was a borefest and we rightly so got punished as our players just switched off in that 2nd period.

2 defeats & a home draw against a team already relegated isn’t the sort of form I envisaged us going into this final.

Disappointing result, both got the rub of the green on their goals. The form going into the Europa league final a big concern.

The positive is the draw means Chelsea can't finish the season ahead of United now and if Leicester fail to win tonight United will finish 2nd.

We've got top 4, basically secured 2nd and have a final coming up. You're reading way too much into recent form.

Not surprised in the slightest.

And some people think this team has the mentality to win a title.

MILES off.

Awb seriously needs to cover the far post and Luke Shaw needs to stop the cross coming in. Happens every single time and we lose a goal

I've never been Ole out but our team is absolutely clueless from top to bottom. We look to be un-coached, un-managed, mismanaged,...... We are galaxies away from where we need to be to compete. I can't imagine we're going anywhere but backwards. GLAZERS OUT. EDDIE OUT.

Another lacklustre performance, we seem to be limping to the Europa final. I am starting to fear that we won't beat Villarreal playing this way. To be honest we have been poor since the protests.

The players failed the fans who had turned up after 14 months today. Disappointing and unsympathetic effort by the players who did not look like anyone who wanted to fight for a victory.

Totally agree. Unfortunately we are stuck with Solskjaer.

Sadly this is what happens when players coast and think they've already qualified for the CL and secured 2nd.

Could feasibly match Mourinho's season of being 18 points behind in 2nd, currently 15

Just as well fans weren't present for most season to witness the home dross served up by Ole's team. I imagine he won't last long next season on this showing!

From the first Roma games the players have been so complacent. Some terrible performances all round.

Reckon that's second confirmed. Not that it really means anything, or that this game should be noted in any way shape or form bar Cavani's goal of the season.
