We need a striker, but thats hardly news

Thought leeds defended really well
Could of had prime shearer and he’d struggle with James failing to do anything other than look out of place

They were pretty crap. We should've beaten them.

Leeds put a brilliant defensive display on today, we've not been good enough and when you add those two together the sum is zero...

Hard fought performance, Leeds did really well to defend like that, credit to the bastards. We obviously had one eye on Thursday, better to be fresh for that really.

Absolute contrast to the earlier fixture. Both teams too desperate not to lose.
Another tightly congested though fundamentally bland derby game.

What a load of tripe. This team is not going anywhere near the title anytime soon. Feck me 90 mins of utter waste.

Frustrating day, but probably the dropped points are of no consequence. Ultimately despite remaining unbeaten away, our 2021 away form has been a big part of why we aren’t in a title race. We’re drawing too many games.

Good to get a reminder of how important Pogba is to us.

One week off. 15 mins for Pogba. 5 mins for Cavani. 2 mins for Van De Beek. These are professional footballers. Make the fecking change.

Job done. Another now pointless game out of the way and, despite Leeds best efforts, it looks like everyone got through it injury free (aside of Rashford's traditional limping)

Not the worst result but should have won. Saw a stat that leeds have drawn with every big 6 game? Quite impressive.

Not bothered. Players weren’t at it today. Big one is on Thursday.

It wasn't any worse than our last performances, just the goals wouldn't come. I think it was OK performance against an opponent who was chasing players, not the ball.


Fred and James stick out like a sore thumb in this team.

Leeds were set up to spoil the game, man marking Bruno and shutting out the supply.
Worked well but made for a very very dull game.

Subs too fecking late. Should have been made at least 10 minutes earlier. Our forwards and Bruno were shambolic.

Good point in a pretty meaningless match. Bigger fish to fry starting with Thursday

The week's rest seems to have taken all the sharpness from our attackers. We looked like a team more interested in the Roma game. Win that and this result looks acceptable. So, I'll wait for Thursday, just like the team.

Too slow with the subs. Could have played another 90 mins and still wouldnt have scored. Racked off.

I can't remember the last time we looked that unlikely to score a goal. Just offered nothing all afternoon.

It was the performance of a team who were poor, with a manager also who seemed like he was thinking of the next game instead of the one in front of him. We'd probably win that if we make the changes sooner.

Just a properly frustrating waste of time.

Poor game. Think we're out of gas to be honest, we've struggled to deliver high tempo performances for a while. Even then, I think we shaded it. Just hope we have enough in the tank for Roma.

Why Cavani and Pogba didn’t start this game is beyond me. They were in the best form they’ve been in pretty much all season respectively, we had an entire week off, our next game is on Thursday.

Why?
Because we have a game against Roma which is the priority.

Felt we were the better team and by far the most likely to score but quality wasn't there.

League is over for both teams anyway, 2nd for us, mid table for them.

Too many of ours having an off day. I understand the need for rotation but no way James should have stayed on more than 60 mins max. Also give VDB a few more minutes to work with.
