Lucky result after that performance
Fellaini should have started. Very much out battled by WH.

Point gained after that performance.

Why must it take us so long to get going in a game? We have to hit the ground running in games.

Van gaals fault we dropped points again. Idiotic lineup yet again. Falcao, rvp and Rooney all shite for obvious reasons.

Rojo, De Gea, Valencia were the only good players today.

Herrera and mata the obvious players we needed out there today and he doesn't put them on. fecking joke. He's said to be one who doesn't pick players based on reputation but that is the exact thing he is doing and exactly why we are playing like shit. Makes you wonder what it will take for him to realise that falcao and Van Persie are shite players these days and completely past it.

Very lucky to get a draw, Shaw, Blind and Big Dave our only good players on the pitch. Rooney is not a midfielder, Di Maria was bad and our supposedly world class strikers missed two golden opportunities. All in all, a point away at West Ham is not bad especially considering the performance.

Incredibly undeserved. I don't see why we took so long to make a sub, then in the end only made 1? (the 2nd doesn't count).

I really hope that draw doesn't paper over the cracks, that was apalling.

Don't let the goal at the end fool you.

This wasn't a smash and grab job for West Ham, they completely dominated us for 90 minutes.

Absolutely awful display. We won't finish in the top 4 if we're going to play like this.

Fortunate. Another poor performance. De Gea superb. Van Gaal remains a stubborn twat.

I'm not even that upset anymore. The amount of baffling decisions is just getting incredibly annoying by now. I get that sometime you can pick the wrong starting XI, but to go for so long without making a sub is criminal.

Our team is so deliberately set up to be out of balance that is just depressing.

I'd love to say one of the worst games i have ever seen from a Utd team but its just the same shit every week so whats the point?.
Rinse and repeat the same diabolical shite every week, enough is enough.

Very very important point. Very very lucky.

Rooney in midfield has to stop. He's absolute dogshit. He just doesn't have a fecking clue what to do there. Like a homeless man's Gerrard.

For second season in a row as well as players not being good enough, the manager isn't either, playing Rooney in midfield is a mistake, playing RVP and falcao is a mistake.

Falcao shouldn't start another game unless RVP and Rooney are injured and we probably won't finish in the top four if we continue trying to play as we have done all season.

I enjoyed that game. It was probably a fair result in the end. Both sets of players worked extremely hard.

Not a good performance but Im not surprised with a draw, just what I predicted before the game.

What I find more worrying than anything else is how many times LVG has been outsmarted tactically. It's happened more often than not this season.

Incredibly lucky in the end. Becoming more disillusioned with Van Gaal with each passing game.

Awful team selection he talks about a twitchy arse then puts that team out away at Upton Park, it just puts ourselves under so much pressure. Falcao is done and Van Persie does sweet FA.

I'm convinced we'll get top four. I'm also nearly convinced Van Gaal isn't the man for us long-term.

LVG repeats the same shit every match. Playing two slow strikers together, who are both out of form.

And putting our other striker in midfield.

Fellaini should start over Januzaj, I haven't seen the latter live up to an inch of his hype.

Glazers Out
As soon as West Ham scored I expected us to lose. West Ham away was always going to be tough, but we were absolutely awful at times. Players out of position and our strikers were slow and predictable. Drop one of them, preferably both and play Rooney up front.

I'm not in the LVG out camp, but he's got to fecking wake up.

Reading a novel in the class of '92
-1 point behind third.

-5 points behind second

One loss in 17 now ?

Horrocious performance. Still managed to grind a point out. No love lost here. Imagine the scenery if we lost today. I think its crystal clear that we need a defender with more height ? we seem to have lost every aerial duel. Falcao with an stunning miss. We cannot afford to have a Forlan 2.0 in this era. There will be serious questions marks if he keeps missing chances like these.
