Our young players have given us so much this season but we need that extra bit of quality, our summer signings will make or break us next year, United looked like they had so much greater experience oday.

Fuck sake so any people on here demanding guts from the players but are completely gutless themselves after a defeat and throw all the players under a bus.
We had a stinker today, but what I did at least see was a lot of players giving a shit.
Also annoyed with the post match crowing over the United performance. Yes they did play well, but equally all their goals were complete defence gimmes. It's Man U for fuck sake. They used to play like that every single week for years. They have one game of not being shit and everyone spunks in their jimmies

we also stuck our arses in the air and got butt fucked several times whilst Sherwood sat in the directors box playing with his phone.
The worst thing about today's performance, especially the first half , was that it reminded me of some of the performances under sherwood.
Whilst Im not happy about the result in general, at least its the only time this season we can say that.
All pundits today are back at sucking Utd's cock:avbfacepalm:
If you adopt a youth policy and want to have young players in the team then occasionally this is going to happen. Every so often they're going to turn up to a game and mentally not be up for it as much as their opponents are and start the game slow and never be able to get back into it.
These things happen...
Take the good with the bad,
United wanted it more than us today, they saw Man City loose yesterday and they saw today as their best opportunity to close the gap and place the pressure to get into the top 3 which they desperately need.
Not only for LvG to keep his job but also financially because they went all in this season in the transfer window before the season and they need to have champions league football to probably avoid financial fair play sanctions.
We've reached out ceiling this year, a cup final, europa league knockout stages and a league finish most likely between 5-7.
Not bad for Poch's first season and playing all of the young players that he has and backing himself to drop the traditional club leaders such as Kaboul and Adebayor.

He had a below average game but no need to be calling Bentaleb Bentley
I think you'll find that's the quandary we're faced with... go for Europe, or try and aim to finish 7th/8th and safely away from all that nonsense???
If it ain't CL, it ain't worth bothering with apparently!
Hey everyone. Been out watching the match so thought I'd swing by here and offer my two penny's worth...
We had one of our worst performances of this season. Definitely up there with the Liverpool and West Ham home games.
Why are we inconsistent like this? Not sure - perhaps the youth of our squad.
Furthermore, Man U had by far their best game of the season (at least from highlights and the rare full match of theirs that I've seen). Again, they're hardly consistent themselves.
Those two factors coinciding led to the horror show we just saw. Am I disappointed? Yes.
Angry? Not really.
At least Poch showed some balls and tried changing something early on when it was obvious we weren't working.
Anyway, I hope you all cope well this evening and don't drown your sorrows too heavily. We have nine games left, and just played one of the two we were majorly pessimistic about (Man City being the other).
Football is a funny thing. Burnley can beat Man City. Let's just see what happens and try to enjoy watching our beloved Spurs.
COYS.

Oops, slip of the tongue. :/
although if they and liverpool keep playing like they do and Woolwich slip up..
wenger's love child that is the champions league is gone,
assuming that manchester city don't implode for the rest of the season
Suicide football, going to Munure with a game plan of inverted wingers and a midfield with fight ? Townsend is a headless chicken who provides very little, Chadli was never ever going to bust a gut and poco must learn to play defenensivly sometimes.
If this defines our season then hope we don't qualify for the ropey cup next year, consolidate and allow poco to mould and rear his own team. COYS

We already do regardless, league cup final.
That was expected.
Disagree. Stoke Newcastle WBA @ Home. Chelsea away...been here a few times. And each of those performances involved no aggression, lack of commitment & belief. Terrible day.
Walker & Dier. Mason & Bentalab. Kane and anyone of the 3 behind...no links. Too much space = getting royally butt fucked.
Don't think I want to torture myself by reading through the posts, only seen the result and that's enough for me. Onwards, if not upwards, roll on Saturday.
Wait so League Cup final gets us into Europa Qualifing round?
