Barely 2 chances for Leicester, 2 goals. So fecking sloppy in defence.

I fancy Leicester challenging Liverpool.

Surprisingly poor quality game from us and yet we should've won that.
Is this not an oxymoron? How do you see Leicester challenging when they drew a game at home against a team you said played badly but still should have won? We are the only ones challenging them unfortunately.

I really don't understand why Pogba just stand there and point here and there. We should win this !!

I hate our defense, but today’s result wouldn’t be in question if we didn’t continue to be so wasteful in front of goal.

Hope, We Lose
2 goals away from home, could have been 3 or 4 with good finishing. Rashford header, Fernandes header, Schmikes save

Defensive frailties cost us like normal

Two pretty even teams and a relatively even game. Feel we should have won given we created the better chances overall though.

Not a disaster, enjoy your Boxing days!

Not that it would've mattered today, but stoppage time is an absolute joke, what's the point of it? Maddison down for the first 45 seconds of it, and the whistle goes at 94:01
Legit! You can proper kill the game in stoppage time very easily.

We didn't play very well but still had the chances to win the game and overall it feels like a bit of a chance wasted (albeit not sure for what because we're clearly not winning the league) given I thought Leicester were pretty poor. We don't control games though and I'm not sure what the hell has happened to us defensively, none of the individuals convinced last season but as a unit it sort of worked but this year it's disastrous.

Wasted some great chances, which we can't afford to do when we make basic mistakes at the back.

So fecking obvious

You can’t play worse players than we have on the bench for the long run and pick up enough points. Dan James is absolutely useless, he’s played about 40 games for United and been piss poor in 35 of them, he wouldn’t look out of place in the championship

It's tough to watch United when you know they need to win because they very rarely deliver it comfortably

The kind of game where when we went ahead, you just knew they'd come back. We didn't have that resilience to see out the win and that will cost you in a title race.

In any case it's a good result and a point gained. We'll do well this season.

Exciting match good to watch. Shame we didn’t take our better chances but atleast we’re making them and it’s not a dour watch for 90minutes

Not a good game. Could/should have won but for poor finishing and our defences inability to not concede under any sort of pressure

The trouble is we haven't led enough matches this season,unfortunately means our game management isn't there yet in tight games

Those are the kind of fixtures that title challengers win and top four challengers go and get a draw. Let down continually by shitty defending.
Yup thats exactly what I said too. We are not serious challengers and we are most likely happy with the draw

Can't defend. Can't take our chances. Rely on Bruno. In game management was poor.

In other words, that's who we are and have been since Bruno had signed.

Martial should have stayed on instead of Rashford.

Ah well, good point away

Had it down as a draw today. Martial looked way off the pace of the game. Still in a very good position but feels like its 2 points dropped rather than one point gained

Really struggle to like any of our defenders, every single one of them looks on the brink of shitting themselves at any given moment in time.

Rashford a big fat zero today, except for the goal. Basically did nothing all game but waste the ball.

Frustrating result. Again showed how we are a nearly team. We cannot win the league by defending like this.

We can't defend with nous.

That cross into the box needed just one person to pick up the attacker and yet again, no organization, just blocking passing lanes and not being aware of where the danger is in the box. Among 3 players, Vardy escapes?

Maguire. Oh Maguire. Treacle passing.
It was an own goal TBF, his shot was going wide until it hit Axel but it wasn't defended against at all

Drop Rashford and give Cavani a chance, defence is useless. Shaw had a good 1st half then a dodgy 2nd! Fred is a beast and never stopped my MOTM.

Like the city game Leicester was there for the taken, 2 points dropped and these points will cost us in the long run!!!

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Mixed performance... probably could have/should have won it but if you don't take chances, give opponent a chance. Leicester took it.

For all Vardy gets the rat boy label, always been on with him. Maddison on the other hand needs a slap.

Frustrating. Move on, manage the squad, get 6 points and HUGE Liverpool game coming up.

Disappointing, we need a new right back if one getting injured means we mess about with the defence that much.

Really frustrating , good result for Liverpool who in reality are in a league of their own.

You just knew we would have have trouble hanging on to the lead with 10 mins to go , that is why we are not a top tier team. Defensively we are not good enough and we need too many chances to convert them to goals.

Scrappy game. Credible draw. Our sloppy defending is neither news nor about to change. Well done lads. On to the next...

Disappointing. Rashford if he was a top striker would have had the easiest hat trick ever. Cavani needs to be played more, he is a different level to our other forwards. He even presses from the front much better than them.

Frustrated by the fact that we went ahead twice, but all in all, that's a really good point IMO.

Desperately need some CB's though. Baily, Maguire, Lindelof not good enough to win any major trophies.
