Would've taken 2-1 before the game but it ended up feeling disappointing. When you remember we're only two players short of a first choice side, it's concerning.
Rashford played well, set up Lukaku's goal. Rashford needs to play with confidence and take his man on more often. No idea what you're on about.
Defending set-pieces has been an issue for a while, going back to last season actually. Mourinho has made adjustments regarding men on the posts and changing the assignments but the results aren't there at the moment in this regard. 4 goals conded from set-pieces this season. The last few goals from set-pieces aren't due to poor marking but rather poor reactions to balls dropping in the box.
West Brom were poor and we were in complete control after the second goal. I think the team felt the game was in hand and was trying to conserve energy given the upcoming schedule. Even after their goal, we had the far better chances.
No one is against fair criticism but it's remarkable how some people have almost nothing positive to say about how the team is doing despite the great start to the season we've had

After 18 games. We'd be in touch with the leaders in almost any other season.
I know that Lukaku scored a goal but to me he is not in the class of what we need. We need a player with better ball control. We need players who can control the ball and look up and see the options. The same with Rashford. It seems all the praise has gone to his head. He is not passing when he needs to and trying to beat everyone on his own. He seems to put a fast cross in all the time, when he needs to float them in sometimes. Liverpool thrashed Bournemouth while we struggled against them. We seem to struggle against everybody now and though we win, we are just hanging on for dear life. It does not matter if it is City or West Brom. It is the same kind of defending and trying to hang on. With City we lost and fortunately we won yesterday.
Amazing stuff from us. We should count or blessings that we get served this end-to-end stuff on a weekly basis.
Everyone who doesn't agree are moaners and not proper fans.
Everton is not going to be easy meat for us now due to the arrival of Big Sam. We should be putting these teams to the sword and not hang on for dear life. If Liverpool can put these teams away we should be doing the same as we are much better than Liverpool or anyone else apart from City.But failed to beat West Brom and Everton at home.
Point taken;you're a Liverpool fan, nothing wrong with that
Football isn't as simple as that, there are we beat easily that Liverpool struggled against just like the opposite. What matters is the standing, we didn't hang on for dear life, that was the Arsenal game.You are an imbecile. Everton is not going to be easy meat for us now due to the arrival of Big Sam.

We had no Pogba and it was only in the last 15 minutes that we sat back. Why is this so difficult to understand?
They are like 18 points behind City and have been trashed by a few teams. The Everton reference was about us putting 4 past them or did you forget? We'll beat WBA comfortably at home so I don't know what point you're making...but I'm the imbecile???You are an imbecile.

I think that was the most frustrating thing yesterday. But wn you look at our side: Herrera,Smalling,Rojo,Jones don't put their foot on the ball but would rather hoof it into row Z. It works when we need to defend first but fails miserably when we have to counter attack.I understand parking the bus or maybe for a better words, closing up shop but every time we do it we look so shaky at the back and look like conceding at any moment. The ball gets pointlessly hoofed away with no attempt to control anything or even launch a counter attack.
If we closed up shop, sat back and controlled games no one would mind but this shaky defending and hanging on to the final whistle against weaker teams is very frustrating.
Great response - some people are just on a mission it seems. Your reference to Liverpool fan though can be taken as an “insult”![]()
It wasn't. They have 2 players who would make the difference in our side: Salah and Coutinho. We don't have the midfield dribbler now that Mkhi has decided to retire! Those 2 can turn an attack very quickly. I admire those 2 but when they are nullified, Liverpool look pretty bad
He's matured in Rome. He can keep it going but Liverpool won't be able to keep himOn the boldest part. Agree with Salah and Coutinho -excellent players. It will be interesting if Salah can keep it going.

I do actually and i appreciate it very much, however, it is depressing to watch a team play slick football right after United's terrible displays. I don't mind it as much as i would have if we didn't have 4 terrible years in both style and results only if by the end of they year we are sitting 2nd or 1st with a good run in the Champions League.Genuinely have a hard time working out why people do this. Do you just not really enjoy football?

Just because we say that other teams are playing better in most circumstances it does not mean that I am a supporter of another club. I wanted United to win and to win handsomely. Not hang on for life with all hands to the pump against a bottom 3 team.
I, for one do not believe that Jose tells his team to hoof up the ball when we are 2-0 up. It is the players who do this. Jose is not the one to let the other team have control of the game. By hoofing it up the other team gets the control. We need players up front who can hold the ball. This is the biggest issue we face. None of the three can hold the ball at all. Attacking players they may be.
he should be , but perhaps he has offended lord mourinio in some way or has not paid proper homage , same as mhki who has lost his place to Lingard who should not be even on the cleaning staff at old trafford . Enjoy your days at old trafford Jose because if you think this shitttt is acceptable in the long run while city build a dynasty of tactically brilliant football you are very very much mistaken.
