West Brom vs Manchester United Match Thread. 20/10/'14 20.00 Sky - Mod Warning in OP

edgecutter

Falcao should have been on earlier, made a massive difference. Lescott and Dawson actually were frightened for a change and Van Persie doesn't do enough to put CBs under pressure.

You'd swear it was actually news to people that fans want their rivals to lose. Get over it.

Crimson King

Have united been awarded any penalties this season so far?

Really can't see any reason why all three decisions weren't given tonight?

klose

Good game that with some quality goals.

I remember hearing januzjai would be the better player than sterling. Not fit to lace his boots.

Honestly think Mata is up there with Veron in terms of under-performing big money United signings. He offers nothing.

Mars Bar

Great finish by blind and superb by fellaini

Jan was poison. Pure poison

Enjoyable match. Van Gaal's title challenge takes a setback

stiffler123

United the better team but not by much.

irishfeen

Shaw terrible, Mata terrible, RVP septic ... absolutely dismal display. 10 points now off Chelsea with the relatively easy games over - Not good enough from the players, not good enough from LVG. If this was Moyes....

Was a good game in fairness, some cracking finishes!!

Another blank from Falcao. 5 appearances and 1 goal now.

I think Mata is quality. Don't know what's happened to him at Man U.

grumpymunster

Thought Mata would take The opportunity that Rooney's absence presented but really was not good, shame still have a soft spot for him. Still see United 4th but only after spending another fortune in January.

4 good goals, shocking defending by United. Happy to walk away with the point with the way West Brom played. God help us come Sunday is all I'll say!

When youre counting results this early as great you know things are gone to utter ****e..

I don't believe that for a second tbh, think it's WIDE open for 4th place, and these are the sort of results that will count at the end of the year. After City and Chelsea there's a big jump in class IMO

Sorry, I was responding to a claim I was a West Brom supporter, lots of posts in between might be lost in context

donfers

they really should be putting away mediocre sides like that if they have any aspirations of doing anything this season - especially when you consider they led twice

Ah ya id prefer the 3 obviously.. But look its a point, little positives, and only a point between united and pool.. Who'll both drop a lot more silly points over the season..

It's just a matter of who drops the least silly points between now and christmas you'd feel..

United do of course still have chelsea, city and Arsenal.. Which wont make for enjoyable watching..

What has Silvio Berlusconi got to do with Falcao firing blanks and costing millions.

This. LVG made a serious error here. The game was hanging in the balance with a half hour to go, either team could have got the next goal and West Brom took their chance. When Falcao came on he created uncertainty in the West Brom defence and won a lot of dirty ball. Maybe if he had more time he would have scored.

No need to exaggerate. Obviously Sterling is currently the better player but Januzaj is arguably equally as talented. He wasn't great tonight but then not many Utd players were. I think he's more suited to a central no.10 role personally but will have to wait his chance for an opportunity there.

Yep won't be a settled table until after Christmas. Point was fair tonight probably but could have easily seen a United winner. Falcao benched when United have no other commitments this week is the big question to be asked of LVG, RVP hasn't looked himself for 2 games running now. But what's done is done.

For a lord you really must try harder to keep that title..

Fairly shocked how bad a mess united have made of their "easy" start. Will be interesting to see how they fair against the likes of Chelsea/city etc...

He played for 20 minutes and was heavily involved in creating Utd's equalizer and in general play. Should have been given more time. His attitude is great and he should be raring to go against Chelsea. I think most Utd fans are pleased with him so far to be honest but imo it still would have made far more sense to keep Welbeck. So, so predictable tonight, so similar to Moyes.

"Fcuking waste of money" he says.

You could take your pick really.

Shaw, Fellani, Herrera, Falcao, Rojo & Mata.

Did Van Gael just say that this was utds best performance of the season? They musta been really bad all season so if that's the case.

Lord Trollington

Fellani doesn't give 2 fcuks he didnt make a show of himself and thats the main thing.

Demosthenese

Fair play to Fellaini tonight, looked well pumped up for it and scored a screamer - hard to show such character when you were made scapegoat and boo'd by your own fans for the whole of last season.

Strange to see RVP being peristed with when he was poor and there's a guy costing more money than the whole WB team sitting on the bench! Fair result more or less.

Berahinho looks pretty good ... putting many a high profile centre forward to shame with his work effort and finishing.

Rayne Wooney

Surprised United didn't pay for all the players with potatoes tbh

Bunch of chancers if you ask me

keeponhurling

On the positive side for United, with RVP out of form, Rooney suspended, Di Maria off injured and Falcao benched - two midfielders stepped up with goals.

I don't really think united deserved a point, but they got one anyways thanks to aggressive attacking play from Fellaini and Blind.

The defence is worrying, Jones really was very very poor, there's a case for recalling Smalling or NcNair.
Rojo wasn't great either.

Mata was non existent.

I'd cut Shaw and Januzaj some flak given how young they are, anyhow I didn't think they were that bad really.

Pity Herrera never got into the game, after his otherwise impressive start at United.

Rooney was missed

keeponhurling

Every time the commentator said West Brom, I thought they said Wes Brown.

Annoying.

Poor defending from rafael again for the 2nd goal. Utd really need a better right back than him. Great to watch going forward but very poor defensively.

It's a make or break season for Jones, Smalling and Raf., I'd wager only one of them will be here this time next year.

Particularly disappointing for Jones, when he had just signed I thought he was really a fantastic signing
