OFFICIAL: West Brom v Manchester United|Premier League|17.12.2017|14.15|Sky Sports

we're the experts of making things harder than they need to be

but that being said, £#%&! me how much of a nothing club are WBA, like what is the point of them? they're still whipping in high and deep crosses from Chris Brunt and hoping to scramble something in? the absolute epitome of "anti football"

but we need to get better at finishing off these kind of clubs, we had a couple chances to finish the game but through poor finishing or shitty balls we missed a trick and ended up wasting time at the end, against £#%&!ing WBA

but hey ho, another win, im happy

Team full of bottlers.

Manger is letting them get away with it too.

Once again Jones is the rock. Lingard and Lukaku linked up well and Matic back to his previous levels.

Herrera rank again.

Please for the love of christ buy some players in January. God almighty.

Well it means there's a backbone being re-instated in this team. A mentality built over 25 years and completely denuded by the two previous clowns.

Looking forward to war and peace from the usual suspects.

Another goal for Rom and three points. I'd be concerned if we were getting worldlies put past us but it's always scrappy shite

Just a shame that this "backbone" seems to keep going missing when it matters the most this season.

Another three points

It’s another win like midweek but where’s the joy in watching Utd play football

This is a bizarre side in that the more comfortable the score the worse we play or to be more specific the more we stop playing

The buck stops with Jose as it happens every time
Why not have our players play with joy and expression when winning comfortably
We’ve got 2 wins in the week but you can’t say our players got any confidence out of those two performances

Can’t argue with the results this season as it’s a very good record but watching us play is a chore a lot of the time and I just don’t see where this side is going
Look a million miles off of the best sides in Europe

Absolutely this.

At 2-0, you expect a team to actually relax and enjoy playing. We just stop playing. Like we've done the hard bit and don't want to. The lack of composure is alarming.

Marcos Rojo can be a decent defender on his day, but he is so £#%&!ing clumsy and reckless. How the manager doesn't trust Luke Shaw but will happily let Rojo come on and perform like that, I don't know. A jittering panicking mess when his job is to simply see a comfortable game out..

£#%&!ing @#%&!.

There's about 3 players in the side I actually like and enjoy watching.

wow. not often you see united completely outplaying someone and ending up with a gutless rearguard action to save the win.

how the £#%&! has hegazi stayed on after the wild swing at de gea?

smalling motm. matic, really.

That really was classic us second half. You can call it like clockwork that we will dip badly for a long spell, it's just then a case of hoping we survive a spell in a game where we simply shouldn't be needing to.

West Brom are a dreadful punchless who should have been completely beaten inside 30 minutes. Instead, we were hanging on.

People go on about luck, but we could easily have been pegged back today or Wednesday or at Arsenal with few complaints.

If not today, there is another game on the way.

We have no pattern of play to fall back on. 2-0 up and there is little idea of how to control a game and take the sting from it, because nothing Utd do is based around that idea. We either defend deep and look to counter against threatening teams or are the other side of that equation.

Looks like he can

Feeling sorry for him now. Needs putting down.

Just keep doing what you were doing to get 1 and 2 nil up. It shouldn't be that tough.

We just become so sloppy. And it's all the time. We really do control most games we play, most of the time, but in the spells we don't, we look so susceptible to losing the game.

You'd think this would be obvious, going from getting beat at home by the likes of Sunderland, WBA, Southampton, Newcastle, Everton, Swansea and many more to 40 games unbeaten. Teams don't look forward to playing us and they're not mouthing off before games about us either, you'd have to be utterly clueless not to see the progress that has been made under Mou.

Shitting the bed against Gareth Barry.

This league is full of shit c*** teams like west brom who you need to f***ing crush when you're on top and they provide little to no resistence....However, if You stop giving them something to worry about at the back then don't be surprised when they start gaining confidence and you end up with that clusterf*** we saw in the 2nd half.

it all started going downhill when that f***ing stupid c*** rashford decided to take an embarrassing dive pretending he'd been elbowed. It got the crowd up and the west brom players up. Then when that absolute f***ing clown Rojo came on it all but cemented our total f***ery.

We desperately desperately need some more attacking wide players because we create absolutely f*** all for large periods of games and when we do go forward far too often it just fizzles out to nothing.

Mata's days are done it would seem, i'm sorry to say. We need an upgrade. Get in someone to give Rashford and Martial some competition, i'm getting sick to f***ing death of them having one good game in every 5 when they're our only attacking outlet.

And for god's sake buy some full backs.

Rashford should have been taken off immediately after that. He wasn't having a good game, he had been booked and as you say it gave the crowd a lift. It meant he'd get booed each time he got the ball and he lost his composure. Martial should have been straight on, as he was one of the few to actually show some composure.

Still good job we've got a team of 'giants' in our team eh then we might not concede off a corner every £#%&!ing game.
