Should have won it comfortably. We looked very tired from the game on Thursday. Really pissed now. Cant see us getting the top four this season. We simply have to be winning games like this.

One of those days. Chance after chance missed, de gea mistake at the other end gifts them an equalizer. Performance was fine from everyone really. Just finishing off. A shame as that performance warranted like 4-0, not a 1-1.

Title? Havin a laugh. Top four race max and even that is not assured. That's what you get for squandering chances.

How the hell did we not win that?

Those are the sort of games that win you titles. Unfortunately we just don't have it yet.

Piss poor really. Should've been ahead in the first half but the intensity dropped in the second and we allowed Stoke to make it scrappy. Terrible result considering there's a 2 week break and we have Liverpool next who will probably take the piss.

Rooney being subbed on (despite another comical assist) was diabolical. Shocking passing, corners, free-kicks, the lot (who the hell let him back on taking those?!).

Mourinho won't last long at this rate.

You can always concede a lucky goal but only scoring 1 against fecking Stoke at home is a mix of shite management and team performance.

We are cursed. No other explanation. No matter how much money we throw at it, no matter who we hire the post-SAF curse just won't end.

We could sign MSN and we would still struggle.

2 points dropped thanks to Zlatan and Pogba and their inability to take the chances the rest of the team created for them.

Ah that was a disgrace but I'm mostly just numb to it all at this point. Even Liverpool have got their shit together.

We played well but our shooting boots were off and their keeper was in the form of his life. Disappointed with the result of course but not with the performance..

Until we sign a proven striker (whos not 34) we arent going to be in a position to win the league... hell even top 4 looks like a struggle at this point

Bottlers. Wasn't a bad performance, should have easily won that. 3 points were on the table after Martial's goal and we should have been by 3 up after the 1st half anyway.

Yeah we're not finishing in the top 4.
True, when you can't beat the worse team in the league at home don't give you much chance.

Should have been 4-0 up at HT game done and dusted but poor finishing has cost us dear today

Sick after that, we should have been out of sight but sub par finishing and defensive stupidity has cost us.

Now we go into the break on a downer.

Two huge mistakes on their goal (Blind and DDG) but they had other chances.

Pogba needs to have a hard look, not only did he possibly cost us with two astounding misses, he disappeared for about 20 minutes at the start of the second half when we should have been putting it away.

Still, created a ton of chances, and on another day, would have won. We lack ruthlessness in front of goal at the moment.

I don't know why we find scoring goals such a massive effort. I'd love to watch a game where we create some easy chances and stick them away.

You can say we could have scored 5 or 6, but Stoke had some clear chances too. It was never comfortable for us.

Really worrying. We're too easy to cut open and we are far from being a top 4 team.

Incredibly frustrating but that's just how it is, sometimes you don't win games that you should. It was still a very good, although sometimes edgy, performance
Our defending for their goal was laughable though.

Should have been 4-0 up by half time. Inexcusable dropping of points against the worst team in the league at home.

Their equaliser shouldn't have happened. All started from Blind slicing it out when he had bags of time. Very much unlike him to not play the ball. But De Gea was most at fault. Deflection or not, it wasn't a bad deflection that put him on the back foot.

Another record for mourinho. Stoke never obtain a point from Utd for how many years?

Rooney did absolutely nothing. And we sit in 6th, potentially 8 points behind top spot by end of the day.

We're not winning the league this season.
I think that became obvious a few weeks back.
IMO, Pogba has not performed as advertised and once again, we need to look to improve our midfield.
For me, he Pogba was one of our worst players today. DDG, for his error, should get the lowest score, though.
