Mourinho is a big problem, his behaviour on the touch line is unacceptable, alienating what seems like a different player every week is terrible man management! Starting to think United might not win the league this season.

I thought United were bad, but wow they really are atrocious now aren't they. Is any chance of top 4 gone already? Really looks like it has. Incredible when you consider what they've spent on this side! 

On the game, how was there not a penalty given against Rojo for handball? Much like Monreal earlier, when your hand is that far out like that it really should be given. Also, surely Pogba should go for a blatant second yellow late in the game? For a manager and a team whingeing constantly about refereeing decisions they seem to get a huge amount of big calls any time I watch them.

They should sack Mourinho and get in Big Ron at the very least until the end of the season. The way they are going they could be relegated.

13 games in, 20 points on the board. Will do well to hit 60 points at the end of the season at this rate. Is Mourinho now doing a far worse job than LVG or even Moyes dare I say it? Maybe a motivator like Big Ron is the way forward. Pardew has the potential to do that and will be free to pick up soon enough Thumbs Up

Apologies. United were great today. United are great in general. Another brilliant performance. It's all on the verge of clicking. We are going to win the league. Yada, yada, yada.

Disappointing result but I thought United were very good in the first half and probably tired towards the end of the other.
West Ham looked a lot fresher towards the end and I was expecting the kick in the balls winner from them.

I think United deserved to win and if Rashford scored the one on one they might've went on from there. Another 2 points lost when everyone else won makes top 4 a very tough proposition.

There is a big difference between United drawing or losing these type of games under LVG and Jose where United are playing a lot better and making more chances with finally a bit of overlapping and runs in behind the defence.

United do need the rival teams to drop points over the Christmas period so they can keep within at least 5 points of the top 4

Couldn't begrudge West Ham their point and nearly won it at the end. Randolph was fantastic and he should be kept in that starting 11 so delighted for him.

People giving out and saying Jose's lost the plot for showing some passion on the sidelines....where as if Klopp or Conte go mad on the touchline they're praised for showing some passion.
LVG sat on his arse for two years and people moaned. Jose is up giving it welly and apparently that's not right either!!!
He kicked a water bottle...any other manager does that they stay on. Wenger be throwing them around the place every week and nothing is done ffs

As for the game itself. I don't know anymore. United seem to have lost their sense of ruthlessness. United of old would have won that game 5-1. Everything they do is slowed down and kills the game. Pogba giving the ball away for fun at times again today. The gimp started West Hams last three attacks
And don't even get me started on Jesse Lingard....

thats four draws in the last four home games that ought to have been four wins. Don't know what Mourinho can do when his team just isnt finishing the chances they're creating. Also not a hope that Conte or Klopp would have been sent to the stands

Cry me a river, Wenger got sent off for doing the exact same thing at Old Trafford last season.

As for "I don't know what Mourinho can do" re finishing chances, when you spend over a £150 million in the summer you'd expect a better return on your investment. 

Easy deflect and point the finger instead of manning up and realizing this United team are bang average.

I don't think we should go down that road of Jose being the victim that faces consequences other managers wouldn't.

At least United are looking like a more cohesive unit rather than the huge gaps in between midfield and the forwards along with lack of support up top. It's not going for them at the moment but anyone watching United's last few games can see an improvement.

As sickened as I am with the results not going their way at least they''re doing the right things and it'll change.

Have to admit I think Jones and especially Rojo haven't done too bad given the injuries and expectancy levels. Darmian who I like isn't really a left back. I think he's played centre back before and wouldn't mind seeing what he'd be like there at some stagethat isn't in a vital game.

Tough to see what isn't a vital game at this point. Europa League could be the only way into the Champions League next season. Every Premier League game is essentially a must win and has been for some time. 

I'm actually happier watching the performances than i have been in quite a long time, there's been improvement across the board. The results not following has been perplexing to say the least.

I really don't get the panic among Man United fans, Mourinho's second season at a club is usually his best and it's going to take a lot of time for him to overhaul this squad.

If he can get United into the top 4 places come May it will be a very good achievement, expectations have to be lowered to progress imo. 

Just look at Chelsea, when was the last night Roman said to a manager "get me 4th and I will be happy"

Easy deflect and point the finger instead of manning up and realizing this United team are bang average. 


Pogba has been extremely good for the last couple of months (United's best player along with Mata), Bailly before he was injured was United's  best defender, Zlatan hasn't reached the heights that he did previously at PSG but with 9 goals in 19 and a handful of assists has had an ok start to his United career. the Mkhitaryan situation is puzzling to say the least but the new signings have done well. 

What does thinking they're bang average have to do with it? I can't picture any fan of any team saying "we created 10 chances in that game and still only came away with a draw, but it doesn't matter because we're bang average" The team has dropped 8 points at home that they shouldn't have, which has very little to do with how good or bad anyone thinks they are. They're creating enough that they should be winning games, and yet they're squandering what they create at a rate of knots. In a situation like that, I personally don't think the blame ought to be laid at the manager's doorstep.

If the team were getting outplayed week in week out like they have been many times over the last 3 and a half years, it'd be a different story

Drawing 4 home games in a row when creating numerous chances but not being clinical enough to finish them tells me your team is average.

The really good teams find goals from everywhere.

When United signed Pogba Ibrahimovic, and Mkhitaryan i was hopeful they would challenge for the title. Only someone who was living in a cave the last few years would have been expectant of it. Once it started going tits up result wise the reality set in again that it could be a long season. I think they're playing the best sustained period of football in the last 6 or 7 games that i've seen them play in the past three years, which isn't a very impressive achievement, but nevertheless encouraging. I would be over the moon with 4th at this point but i dont see it happening. I think they're a good team that is struggling to find their killer instinct to go out and convert what they're doing into goals and points, rather than being any more unlucky than other teams, although the fact that there have been some immense defensive performances at Old Trafford from visiting teams recently hasn't helped.  

I think Mourinho will have the luxury of time to get things right, as a United fan I along with many others am all too aware that the team has been in royal sh*t since Fergie retired and that the bar is set fairly low at the minute for what Mourinho is expected to accomplish - an improvement on last year is probably the main one, which it has been with the football played in the last couple of months. If he doesn't lose the plot entirely and have a go at everyone this year (possible) he'll get two years minimum, and probably more if the team doesn't regress even further in that period
