[Lucky McLuckerson]

So like last season it turned into another torrid day at the London Stadium. We were never at it today, from the off we were lethargic, with no ideas of how to break down West Ham. Sloppy defending allowed West Ham to score the opening goal just before half-time.

In the second-half we played with a bit more urgency and should have equalisd through Mata and then Maguire but failed to take those chances. West Ham then punished us with a late free-kick goal from Cresswell.

To compound our problems Rashford picked up a thigh injury which left us without any fit strikers for the last 30 minutes of the match. Our lack of squad depth was really exposed today.

A bad day.

[Maroon Lucifer]

I was watching the Villa v West Ham game. It was barely football. Was expecting a comfortable win here.

 

[joedirt87]

we suck.

 

[King Eric 7]

Awful team out there. Got what we deserved.

 

[elnorte]

We're getting there

 

[Zoo]

Sad times

 

[Judas]

Rotten squad, rotten management.

West Ham didn't even need to play well to beat us with ease.

 

[fergieisold]

Not a horrific performance tactically in my opinion - but we lack any strikers (Rashford doesn't count).

 

[big rons sovereign]

Absolute crap. That is all. 3 more losses coming up.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Too many injuries, zero strikers after Rashford went off

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

Congratulations on the new contract David, you absolute fool.

 

[Florida Man]

I’m not that sure we’re gonna win the league at this point.

 

[Flying_Heckfish]

Glad I'm on holiday and couldn't watch that, by the sounds of it

 

[JonDahl]

Still so boring after 6 long years...

 

[adexkola]

Ugh.

 

[vidic blood & sand]

Expected. This team will just keep us in the top half this season.

 

[predator]

Game went as expected for me. Terrible finishing and no control from ourselves and West Ham aren't too shabby. This is the reality for us and has been for a while reading posts on here expressing shock at this result truly baffles me. Our squad desperately needed reinforcing in the summer, even if we kept Sanchez and Lukaku, we still needed to bolster it.

It was head-bangingly obvious from the start of the summer transfer window what we needed to do and the club didn't. Whether Ole was content I dont know but its between him and board to take responsibility for this monumental feck up.

 

[Suvvernmanc]

Whoever it was that thought letting Fellaini, Herrera, Sanchez and Lukaku leave the club without replacing them needs sacking.

Another season to 'write off' as UTD supporter.

 

[Sp00ks11]

This is our level under this clown, no surprise. I said we will finish between 6th-10th and I stand by that!

 

[Slevs]

Genuienly, did anyone expect anything other than a loss?

 

[Nr.7]

We’re supporting a midtable club, maybe we shouldn’t be so suprised with results like this.

 

[Sir Scott McToMinay]

Bang average squad, bang average manager, bang average coaching stuff.
We’re shite.

 

[Viral United]

What the feck, whole team can do one.

 

[Siorac]

The starting line-up looked like that of a midtable team - and played like that, too.

We're an insignificant team, there to make up the numbers. That's our role for the foreseeable future.

 

[chiz2kul]

Absolutely dire. And I'm talking about west ham. United was a couple notches worse.
Woodward has to go. That has been the main consistent factor over the years. Until he's gone, nothing will change.

 

[Reynoldo]

Not even a surprise

 

[SirAnderson]

So are we waiting for Zidane to get the sack at Madrid?

 

[Raven]

That had better be the end of Mata and Matic's careers. Feck them.

 

[Lemansky]

We finished with a front three of James, Lingard and Pereira. Had Mata behind. There is a real lack of quality offensively in our team.

 

[NinjaZombie]

Can we sack Ashley Young already?

All aspects of the football club is not good enough. The manager, the players and the person in charge of transfers and contracts.

 

[DRM]

Expected

 

[Stadjer]

Eh... really struggling to decide a MotM

 

[Betson]

Going to be a struggle to maintain top 6 with this squad this season.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Ole needs another summer to continue clearing out the dross, and signing more young hungry players

 

[Cutch]

You’ll do well to see a more clueless attacking display than that

 

[Brophs]

I’m really hoping for some good, apologetic tweets from the players this evening. That’ll be just the ticket.

 

[Van Piorsing]

Just another reminder of another underwhelming transfer window.

 

[Tapori]

The more things change the more they stay the same.
Feel sorry for the young lads.
Matic has to depart he's finished at this level.
Glazers + Woodward + Fergie's fallout with JP = disaster

 

[The Firestarter]

Not a horrific performance tactically in my opinion - but we lack any strikers (Rashford doesn't count).

What were the tactics ?

 

[paulscholes18]

A mess, needed to do more in the summer window. Nobody would get a good tune out of the 11 on the pitch

 

[Deery]

Ed Woodward knows feck all about football why is he even in charge?

 

[BigBebe]

I can't wait for Young/Mata in the post match press conference.

- The boys in the dressing room are gutted
- We know we didn't play well
- Maybe a little bit unlucky
- Get our heads down in training next week

Same old same old for the past 6 years

 

[TommiHelm]

If the presser is a bunch of excuses about injuries, and how we should have taken our chances (Mata and Maguire), I think I'll be in the Solskjaer out camp by tonight. I firmly believe the owners and their puppy Woodward is the real problem, but it's obvious Ole Gunnar is never gonna stick up to them, and he's not good enough to turn granite into gold.

 

[FortBoyard]

I don't even feel mad these days. Just resigned to being shite.

Went into the game expecting to lose, and the game played out exactly like I though it would.
