Good performance from Man U there

Bit of a tepid performance. Cleans sheet though I guess.

I don't know why they televise our games against Man United. Always boring affairs.

Thought we were not so good, seemed to lack any threat

A point away from home

Hats off to United, they came for a point and got it

Pah. Bit disappointed how we sat back at the end there, nearly paid the price.

At least we haven’t been fecked over by VAR, so that’s a bonus

Strange how the bogshites haven’t been around for a while

Just ran my expert eye over the league table and thinking it is going to be an 8th-9th place finish this term.

Anyone happy with that?

Should be putting away the likes of these. Last season it was Brighton and Huddersfield. This season it's cross like Man United and Arsenal.

Good God, sky have given Neves motm. Absolutely correctt decision but amazed they saw past the United players

Would be happy if we win the Europa as well.

Massive point for United today. Nobody expected them to get anything from the game, so no pressure on them.

Will take 8th-9th so long as we get at least a QF in Europe

Have to qualify for Europe ......prerequisite!

I really don't think that will happen unfortunately but yes agree, it needs to become a regular thing

Our players will look elsewhere without European football .......it’s the most important thing !

Let's not get too entitled. We've got a point away against a top 6 team. Plus kept a clean sheet. Plenty of games left to push on for top 5 place.

Agree

Positives:
Entertaining game
Point away from home against top 6 side
Clean sheet
Didn't concede first or the first time in 9 games
Boly back
Jota back and looking lively
Podence looks like he could be a real asset
Patricio on fire

No real negatives.
Jonny started badly but soon got his act together.
Didn't put our chances away again, but then neither did United.

Highlight of the game though was after the final whistle when Bruno Fernandez swapped shirts with Daniel Podence and De Gea thought he was a wolves player - priceless

I thought we did ok tonight and for most of the game I would say we were the better team and certainly produced more threatening attacks than Utd. Although half an hour in my mate and I both said we could see the game being goalless.

I thought Fernandes looked a good player but with such a toothless attack ahead of him I’m not sure how much he will improve them.

We defended well and you would never have guessed this was Boly’s first game in months. Jonny had some good moments but Doherty hasn’t been at his best the last month. The front three troubled United without any of them being at their best. Neves surely man of the match.

I’d feel confident we will finish higher in the table than Utd come May

I would like to think we will as well but my concern is that despite us looking good for the most part this season and United looking completely hopeless we still sit behind them on goal difference.

Same can be said for the likes of everton, you would think we have been considerably better but yet we are two clear of everton who have been a shambles prior to ancelotti rocking up.

Traore dislocated his shoulder again. Had it popped back in. Played on for 30 minutes then got a kick on the ankle and had to go off

Bizarre that the wee guy Podence’s first two touches were with his head
