Disappointing, really thought we'd turn up after today's earlier result and have a real go but it didn't happen.
Entertaining match but the quality on the ball from both teams was poor, off the ball we weren't at it either, Pogba was absolute dogshit and gifted them their goal. He really needs to step it up against the bigger sides, shown up again today, all over the place for the corners as well which Jose has to take partial responsibility.
Poor subs from Mou as well as we should have brought Rashford on and targeted the young right back.
That said a draw was probably the right result, we remain unbeaten on this run so still have momentum. Stoke up next.

Only upside if there is one is that Rooney didn't beat Sir Bobby Charlton's record today as we'd never have heard the end of it.

Should never have been on ahead of mata / rashford for me. But we've learnt Mou and the route one(ish) plan B is why Fellaini will still be here next season.

To be honest I wouldn't have minded a wazza strike to take the 3 points but it wasn't to be ..... and if (when) he does break that record well we won't hear the last of it because it might not be matched .... ever. Hashy football from both sides couldn't manage to keep it down and sadly lacked the pace needed to break through in the first half. I agree with Dave Pogba had a game to forget ... we'll see if he gets any disciplinary punishment for throwing Henderson to the ground it's been broadcast at least a 100 times since. Mikhy should have scored twice .... the free kick from Ibra ..... ah what could have been. Still unbeaten but disappointed by this result .....you can never be confident before a match  We scored an equalizer in the end but it still leaves a bad after taste. Neutrals all wowed by this a real tussle of a game which lived up to their expectations but not ours. Under the pressure of these big games we have to pull it out and today we didn't rise to it. Jose made result driven subs, the decision to take Darmian off was a clear message I just wish Rashford had got a run out. Chins up and kick on to get back to our winning ways against Stoke & Hull points above us will be lost .... it's in our own hands to reduce that gap |

This is a difficult one to read. How much will the home ground advantage " 12th Man " come into play ? On the balance of recent performances my gut feel is a draw. But as neither of the two managers really want to lose ground it will come down to who can motivate his team the most. So my heart says United to shave it by one goal. Rashford over Martial is I think a must. Excuse me quoting myself. When will I learn to listen to my Head and not my Heart, it had a Draw written all over it. Both Manchester teams stuffed me in the prediction game. Pogba showed he is only human. Rashford would I think have made a lot of difference. But eh! that is why I sit in my armchair drinking beer and why Jose struts the touchline area. |

If we had converted the opportunities we had we'd have had a nice result. We've got the worst 'clear-cut chance' conversion ratio in the league apparently. We need to sort that out, rapido.

Are you going on your own Jie? Yeah I did. Had a great time through - the match was very entertaining and I don't know about you guys but I was really impressed with Rojo. And Herrera of course. I did feel kinda disappointed at the end because I believe we were the better team, maybe we just needed a few more minutes and we would have won. But anyway, great experience, especially with the typical United fan next to me who was slightly drunk and screaming his head off "fock off yo scousers" along with "bloody idiots" and giving them the wanker gesture :lol: :lol: :lol: I also went to a bunch of other places around Manchester but that's for a different thread I guess |
