4 minutes, I'd expect Utd to score.

Poor Side?!!

West Brom have been fantastic this year and if we can keep playing like this, Di Matteo will be a safe bet for manager of the year.

Chelsea 6-0 West brom,

Thats the type of side (Chelsea) United are meant to be contending with for the title, I have to admit now that United aren't anywhere enar competeing for the title though.

Why are you confused? Are West Brom not a poor side then? Are they not a team that we should be beating at home, sorry hammering at home. Have a look at any of the earlier posts on this thread and the main thread where predictions were for 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 etc.

Crap result if it stays like this but not season over by any means.

Nail biting stuff

You're a funny guy,
United were cruising and gave away two stupid goals, West Brom weren't in the game until we opened the door for them.

Deplorable result. Pure and simple.

Well done West Brom. Great team performance and really played well as a unit.

Shambolic

Fair play to West Brom. After getting demolished by Chelsea on the opening day of the season they've really sorted themselves out, out playing Liverpool in Anfield, beating Arsenal in the Emirates and now drawing with Utd in Old Trafford. I hope they stay up, they try and play a nice style of football.

Break out the check book fergie.

Bad result. Will only know how bad in a couple of hours.

Come on Villa.

Gonzovision

Excellent

yabadabado

thats a disgraceful performance .we should have been comfortable after about 30mins but we were very wasteful.let WBA back into it and then we fell to pieces.the defensive problems are really killing us so far this season.

True, but we lost all our pre-season games, I'm not complaining the way its worked out.

Deplorable the way there was 4 mins of injury time there, there should be an inquest.

If only Chelsea didn't lose that one game we would be sitting happy now.

Disapointing result , great first half for united terrible second half . Good idea from WBA with the there first goal but a lucky touch of Evra sending
It in , second goal shocking mistake by VDS . Rooney did nothing productive I can think of ? Nani was our best player today .

kingshankly

blame the Americans it works for us;)

No one is. Man City may be if they keep up the huge spending and get a decent manager. The lack of investment in the United squad is really beginning to show through now but that's what happens when paying the interest on the debt comes first. That said i still expect United to finish second this season.

I'd suggest we should probably be up for Chelsea in this one. By the looks of things we may be competing with them more then Chelsea this year.

What's wrong with the injury time?

There was a good bit of time wasted when the free kick for the backpass was given, that, and what was it, 4-5 subs?

Beyond a joke how many times united are letting good leads go to waste . At least it's interesting this year but this is sad

Pro. F

I had a lot of trouble with streams today so my views on the match might well not be that accurate.
Seemed to me that West Brom's goals came a bit against the run of play and with some terrible mistakes at the back from United. But after that when I was expecting to see us squeeze the game a bit and put on some pressure looking for the win it just didn't happen. Very disappointing performance and another bad result. I knew WBA wouldn't be easy but I really thought we would be able to get all three points.

Do you want to go through the whole soccer forum and quote everyone who says "we" and ask them that.

Ya,I know ye were pretty poor during preseason and United are pretty poor now, but it happens like that.For anyone to say both of our teams are not at the same level is pretty stupid after 2 months imo.

Dreadful result. Dreadful second half performance. United have ****ed away enough points already this season to start thinking they won't contend for the title. Plus Chelsea have been immense so far.

Maybe it's my usual knee jerk reaction after a poor result but his time I fear I'll re read this post in a few hours and have the same opinion.

flahavaj

LOL United is all I have to offer. You'd see better defending in the Astro League of a Tuesday night in Crumlin.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Giggs coming off was the start of it, imo.
He was our second best player in the first half, imo, behind Nani. He was always looking for the ball and kept good control of it when he had it.

The overreactions in this thread are quite funny. Yes, we've had a bad start to the season, but United rarely hit the ground running before November. United will be in contention come May, no doubt about it.

My MotM:
1. Nani
2. Berba
3. Giggs(would be higher, but only played 1st half)

Sure don't ya know it's deplorable if there's even a minute of extra-time when United aren't winning a game.

Did both United goals not come from dodgy mistakes as well?

Prufrock

First things first well done West Brom. Fantastic result for them.

As for United they have to sort their defense out. Letting a 2 0 lead slip away at home is unacceptable if you have any kind of title aspirations. Not the first time United have thrown 3 points away by conceding silly goals. I'd be happy with 2nd and a good showing in the CL this season at this rate.

The lack of investment in midfield is really showing at this stage.

On the plus side Chico looks a good player. Very happy with him.

All in all its early in the season and United will find form eventually but they've dropped too many points already to challenge Chelsea for the league.

Will I Amnt

Shocking stuff second half,2 goal lead disappeared again,maybe we should get 10 men behind the ball after getting the first.
