considering the amount of money we have spent our squad is still wild average. woodward gotta have a look at this.

I mean, we had a 36 year old, fellaini and darmian starting a game of this magnitude. rashford and martial are good talents for the future but i also don't think they should be leading the line just yet. blind isn't even a CB, and even valencia could be upgraded.

that's 6/7 out of 10 outfield players that i don't think should be in our starting 11. so yeah, squad lacks quality.

Absolute shitfest. Point gained rather than 2 points dropped.

Not happy with the performance but at this stage...

Don't care how bad the match was at least top 4 is in our hands still. Not the worst result there.

We managed to make sure no football was played. Which I suppose is some sort of achievement.

Very poor in attack but that was a well earned and hard fought point. Not sure if this does any good, all eggs in Europa basket now.

Decent result but our attacking players should be ashamed of themselves.

Poor attacking performance but excellent defensively & showed resilience in the circumstances. Could be a big point come the end of the season.

Good point. 1 point difference from City and 2 from Liverpool. With all our injuries I'll take this result.

Given the circumstances a good result although we should have been a bit more brave in the 2nd.

Fellaini was stupid. Again.

Will take it

Shocking lack of ambition going forward for most of the game. Passing was awful

Defended outstandingly and showed a lot of resilience particularly down to 10

Blind was excellent. No idea why many don't rate him

Better result for us than City given the circumstances.

You do know that we have players injured right?

Got the draw that we clearly wanted. What a borefest.

Better than losing I guess.

Feel sorry for Felliani, first was a booking fair enough, Aguero dived for the second and the way he went down after that "headbutt" was embarrassing.

We restricted them to half chances and hopeful punts outside the box, but my god we were terrible at getting the ball to the attackers.

A lot of key players missing, our 8th game of the month. Not a great game, but the players did what the manager wanted them to do.

24 games unbeaten and another clean sheet.

Considering how inept we were in possession you have to happy with a draw.
There was no chance in hell of us ever scoring.

Dire performance but I'm happy we managed to come away with a point.

It's nothing new but it's clear as day we're desperately need more quality in this squad. Fellaini is fecking dog dirt.

The human chimney sweep is a Muppet.

We badly need to improve the midfield this summer.

Good result for us though.

Decent first half, shitty (too defensive) second one. Probably worked hard enough to deserve the draw but not much more.

Well, the conspiracy nuts on Bluemoon can't complain about the referee this time.

Fellaini had to pull a Fellaini. Seems to take 2 steps back for every 1 forward.

At least we didn't go 4 points behind them.
