    Dogs dinner of a match.

    Hard for me to say this but we don't deserve to get 4th place. If we can't score goals at home, we are rubbish whether we have spent 100s of millions. Missing chances or hitting the post are simply not good enough and are not really an excuse.

    2 draws at home when we needed 2 wins. I think we will finish in 6th and that's all the players and JM deserve.

    Well, is Jose pinning his hopes on the EL, he said the league was most important until next week but tonight didn't show that until the last 20 mins.

    Utter sh*te again.
    Mourinho's team play like van Gaal's - but with an ageing formerly world class centre forward on £squillion per week.
    Pants.

    Long way to go.

    United 19 unbeaten.

    Do you think Jose changed his tactics after 4-0 loss at Chelsea?

    Top priority by a long way is a goal scorer, a poacher. Ridiculous the chances being missed and the goals scored at home. The worst home goal tally in the premiership I think. Totally unacceptable if United want to be considered a top 4 team.

    That's why when Arsenal did it through the season I said no big deal. Their achievement was winning the title and not going undefeated throughout the season. I can see United going the rest of the season undefeated but finishing 6th.

    Yep, he realised we need to change a couple of positions before we can be fully functional.

    Jose gave an interview last week which was quite telling, he was talking about players who have left and said "would I let Welbeck go, no". Probably a good thing to say to keep supporters on side because Welbeck was liked, the most telling though was "would I have let Chicharito go, no chance, that player should still be here now with me"

    He's right, Lingard and Fellaini should NEVER play. Ever.

    I'm sure certain people will say otherwise but we weren't ****, Everton didn't dominate, it wasn't off side, it was a goal.

    That said, no way should we not win that game. Ridiculous.

    Our only CL hope is Europa league.

    I'd be amazed if City don't follow up our draw by losing at Chelsea tomorrow.

    Lingard is one of the few players who always try to go forward.

    We shouldn't need a linesman to decide a game like that.

    We weren't ****, but the finishing was (again).

    Agreed.

    I don't hold out too much hope for the Europa League at the moment.

    Lingard did very little.

    Scores the occasional great goal here and there but shouldn't be first choice ahead of Martial, for instance, surely? Show pony.

    No, we shouldn't, but it was still a ridiculous decision and so is there to be scrutinised.

    Agreed.
    Final third though, no? Nothing to do with not converting chances. Right?

    EL is best chance we have so best pursue it.

    **** knows

    But in truth apart from when you started launching it you created little tonight

    Was the effort that Williams handled going in? It looked like Robles had it covered from where I was sat

    It is almost a self fulfilling prophecy. JM saying his players are low in confidence. Surprise surprise they play with very little confidence!

    Draws are ****ing awful in the league because you lose points and you slide down the table. Not so bad in Cups because as long as you don't lose you stay in the comp. fingers crossed we keep that silly "invincibility" in the Europa.

    It looked like going in. Mind you these days it would probably have hit the post.

    I don't know why Everton should feel down. They did well with a draw and conceding in the last minute meant that United couldn't win. Looked at it another way the equaliser conceded in the 80th minute or earlier would have meant certain victory for United :)
