I hate to say it, but I told you so
Because he's been in such rich goal scoring form?
West Brom looked more like scoring at the end than we did 
i can see gthe headlines on rawk,,,,,,,,red cafe in meltdown.....the sooner these glazier cnuts feck off the better
Is Sir Alex getting soft on the lads? 2-0 turning into a 2-2 isn't much of a shocker this season.
Not alot more to say is there, no midfield
Fergie needs to look at himself, his team selections have been fecking shocking of late not to mention his choice of subs.
I would have kept Anderson on, he was playing really well.
too many journey men, not enough players that can win us a game.
Should have finished them in the first half, then paid the price for sloppy defending. This is getting fcukin stupid...
Yes Van Der Sar was at fault. But as soon as the 1st goal went in, I thought "feck it, we're going to let in another".
The team had what, 25mins to get another goal and win the game. We were incapable of doing it. I just hope Van Der Sar doesn't get alot of stick thrown at him because frankly he, Nani, Scholes, Giggs and Berbatov have been the only players worthy of wearing the shirt this season so far.
We should be pointing the finger at the lack of any wingers on the bench, at Rooneys terrible form, our over realiance on youngsters and some awful, awful decisions by the staff on who to bring on/off.
I'm still amazed we took both Anderson and Carrick off.
midfield is where the problem lies,,,we do not have one,,,,,,simple as
You must be kidding me. Anderson and Berbatov were poor, and Evra was shocking.
The only thing Gibson would have been useful for, shooting from that backpass free kick, he din't do. Other than that was he even playing?
There was in the first hald, but ultimately the decision to bring on Gibson for Giggs turned out to be a mistake, as Anderson and Carrick were doing well. Whether it's all Gibson's fault for a poor performance I don't know, but it was clear we were crying out for another natural left-winger, and that is even more clear now having seen us with Giggs and then without him. It was night and day.
I cannot believe what I just saw. This is worse than the Everton result.
You have to want to 'die' to wear the shirt ffs.
Sad to say that is not true for a lot of our players.

We have the talent, we can score goals...the problem is that this squad don't have a pair of bollocks between them. Truly gutless again. Surrendering leads like this is pathetic.
Rooney on the left for Giggs was the obvious change. We went downhill after Giggs left I'm afraid.
Blame it on me...
The most disheartening aspect wasn't the sloppy goals but the complete lack of fire to get the lead back, in the past we'd have bombarded them for the last 30 minutes with chance after chance, here we just looked out of ideas and drive.
The obvious change was to have one of Bebe or Obertan on the bench in the first place.
No heart no fight no desire ... We were apalling
What the feck is going on

I find Gidson most games to be invisible. For a CM that's not good.
We looked more concerned with giving up a goal than we were focused on getting a goal.
Completely agree, the vast majority of the disappointment thus far can be traced right back to Ferguson's selections and tactics.
Pick a consistent starting 11, stop fecking around with the personnel, stop playing two in the middle when centre mid is clearly the route of our weakness, and spend transfer windows looking for left sided players that can make a fecking difference. We may as well play with two wingers down the right; because the left is completely redundant.
Really disappointed with the direction we're heading. The odd bad result can't be helped – but we’ve had more than the odd bad result this season, many of which could have been prevented. Our squad really isn’t that strong, so surely we should be playing to our strengths to mitigate against this clear lack of quality. Arrogant selections and formations are working firmly against us; Ferguson is working against us.
The games haven’t even been that tough; what happens when the season really gets going.
Absolutely spot on. Our lack of quality in midfield is the major issue and unless that is addressed pretty fecking quickly, we are going to really suffer. At this rate, we are going to be pumped in the derby.
I agree. Mistakes happen. I can say the EVS has been great for the most part and I'll accept this blunder as a one of. The damn wall jumping pisses me off. Hold your ground. Wasn't a goal conceded early this year because Fletcher moved in the wall?
Anyway, there was plenty of time for Untied to score a winner. They just didn't or couldn't throw enough at WBA. It has happened too often this season.
No one on the bench was suitable to replace Giggs. Its a massive error in judgement to NOT include a winger on the bench. It's just yet another squad selection ballsup.
Anderson and Carrick were doing very well in the centre and had the game under control. As soon as we pushed Anderson on the left and partnered Gibson in with Carrick we seemed to losen grip on the game.
Rooney should not be in the squad if he carries on the jog around the pitch like he did for the last 20mins.
Well, a lesson we should have learned at Everton obviously hasn't been learned and at this rate looks like it'll be costly to winning the title. The manner in which we throw away leads is quite simply frustrating beyond belief, it's as if we win the game comfortably then allow the opposition back in through sheer stupidity and mistakes.
Here's the scale of the problem. There are 28 games and United need at a minimum 62 points and maybe even 66 to lift the title. Yes it's early but they need to to go an a winning streak immediately.
