Europa league or bust now.

We just can't break down teams that park the bus, we're gonna drop many more points still this season so top 4 is out of sight, maybe not mathematically but realistically.

Everyone is a cnut right now. Everyone here. Everyone in the team. Jose. Pogba Ibra and Herrera too. Only Sir Alex isn't a cnut.

I actually thought we tried to move the ball at a decent tempo from the start but that gradually diminished. The issue was a lack of quality, with Mkhitaryan off his game and when Lingard is your best attacker that says a lot.

Also I have no idea what Rashford was doing, he wants to play as a striker but tried to do everything but today.

Do West Brom really play like this every week? This is the Premier League.

Oh José Mourinho knows how to get a squad going. fecking idiots. Have you even watch a game of Mourinho football? He's one the dullest most defensive minded manager in the world. His Chelsea team loved playing 1-0 games. Just go feck yourself. Get Koeman in right now.

We are dildos. It was quite predictable the game would look like this but Christ, all the 'pace and youth' and other shite about our front four talk can feck off. We've had some decent chances in the first half when neither Martial nor Rashford attacked the ball after Lingard's crosses, they're both better wingers and neither good enough to replace Ibra at the moment.

The manager and players have really taken April fool's day too seriously.

Has it finally sunken in with you idiots that we're going no farther with this man in charge than the last two?

Anyone can spend 500 trillion pounds on players to finish 6th.

Nice work from our captain at the end there.

Can't beat teams who come to Old Trafford with the mission of not losing. We need to create more chances than other teams because of wastefulness. Can't think of a game where we've managed a win by scoring from our only chance.

Feel like we don't practice good movement. All we fecking do is pump crosses into the box. It seemed at times like Moyes' 81 crosses game. Don't know how we could be this fecking rubbish.

Rooney at the end just summed it up for us. He has to be fecked off.

Don't understand why we're not playing 442 in these games.

Yes we had players missing, but Mourinho has questions to answer at this point, the team is still far too static in attack, players don't make runs, its stand and pass every time.

LVG all over again

Time to fully concentrate in Europa League. If we had some chance to get top 4, we lost that chance today.

That's probably it for top 4. Wasn't the worst performance I've seen but we look toothless in and around the penalty area without ibrahimovic.

We're good at keeping the ball, and often create a fair few chances
.But at times like today we just look like a bunch of kids trying to do it all on their own. Martial and Rashford the worst culprit.

However, we've struggled to put anyone away at home with Ibra, Pogba and Herrera, so shouldn't be a surprise we can't with them out.

Are we actually any better than last season?

It just seems to be getting worse and worse, i'd happily end the season now, toss a coin for the Europa and take 6th place.

fecking atrocious.

Easily our worst home performance this season. In the other draws we've been creating chances, some we were robbed, but this was completely toothless apart from a brief spell in the second half.

At least Mike Dean got to be on camera though, which is clearly the only reason he chose his profession!

Impotent in front of goal. Absolutely have no confidence in front of goal. Thats why all these goal keepers are having brilliant games.

The pressure is getting to the players. Thats why we cant score.

I give up. Concentrate on the Europa now.

We are hilariously shite. Looking forward to Mourinho blaming the result on injuries/suspensions.

Lingard has as much goal threat as a fullback he has little to no end product the guy is just so average and this was a good game for him. Martial looks a million miles from the player he was last season. Rashford is a kid, Myktaryin was poor and we have no runners from the middle of the park. We could not buy a goal with this lot. Anyone who says we should not buy Griezmann needs to go and lock themselves in a cupboard.

Just another ordinary day at Old Trafford this season... We've seen this so many times
Oh, yes, did we really need two holding midfielders all 90 minutes?
It was difficult not to though. You needed Carrick's ability on the ball, and you couldn't turn up v a Pulis team with our tall players out and not field Fellaini.

Unless we're talking having him closer up front!

Great defensively, tough in attack with West Brom having 10 men behind the ball all game and our experienced game breakers all out. Zlatan would have banged a header in no problems today.

Could argue Rooney might have come on earlier, tempo was also very poor towards the end, perhaps Fellaini should have come off to speed it up though he had a decent game and you can understand not taking off our only aerial threat.

Dean was in danger of looking like a very good ref today until the last 15 mins or so.

Not even angry or frustrated. Even against the weakest of defenses I'd expect a 1-1 or a very narrow win so a draw against WBA is probably the most expected result there could have been. I really don't see us winning more than one more PL game at home this season.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"
Fecking awful!

Having some FT players out is no excuse for that.... pedestrian, clueless and that comes from Jose.

Ref was a disgrace.... it's a contact sport you kernob. Added time should have been 4 mins first half, ten in the second.

West Bromwich are sh!te but that's their call... our job is to work out a way past them (as other top clubs have), the refs job is to make it balanced.

Us, them, Jose, ref..... all should give their wages to charity this week.
