Could literally have scored 6 or 8 on another night! Greenwood will certainly make the grade.

[Maroon Manc]

Good to see Greenwood finally get his first goal, won't be long before his first league goal when all the hype around him will start.

I see lots of fans talking Rojo up on twitter last night, I thought he was awful; He must have had 5 or 6 attempts at the goals with most of them ending up as passes. Fred did ok but still far too careless on the ball but would prefer him ahead of Matic. Gomes did ok, very little space and think he'd have benefited from Mata coming on earlier instead of replacing him. Tuanzebe did well but had no defending to do, Chong was dreadful; I don't think he's good enough but hope to be proved wrong. I have no idea whats happened to Dalot's crossing, looked exceptional when he first came but last night it was pathetic.

United are really going to struggle against any team that sits back, we lack creativity and don't have anyone to get their head to a cross if on the off chance a decent one came in.

Deja vu to the West Ham fixture last year and it was known after that game that Jose was a dead man walking. 

Ole shot himself in the foot with his team selection with starting Mata,Matic especially and then to not make any changes at half time when 1-0 behind.  West Ham didn't even need to play that well or work that hard to win comfortably.   To make matters worst another injury this time Rashford but hardly surprisingly when overplaying a 21 year old. 7th in the table now and its where this United team will likely finish if not lower.

Horrible. United are utterly impotent this season. Makes the failure to properly invest in attacking talent over the summer look even more reprehensible. This will be another wasted year, with no CL football secured and probably another managerial change. But sure Mourinho is no longer in charge, so it's all grand

A lot of panic on this thread. United are joint 7th in the League. This is only their 2nd league loss of the season. You have to remember Utd had a game on Thursday.  West Ham had the week off. This is a factor that has to be taken into a/c! Rome was not built in a day.

[rodney trotter]

You're obviously being sarcastic or trying to justify being 7th? They rotate the team for Europa League and the game was in England.. Not like they were flying back from Kazakhstan..

[Cunny Funt]

Just a bit sarcastic alright.

United played a mostly different 11 on Thursday so that factor doesn't have to be taken into account apart from starting Rashford when he probably should have been rested.

8th in the league table now after Arsenal's win and on paper Palace (H), Southampton (A) West Ham (A) and Wolves with their form this season (A) weren't difficult games on paper. Whatever about Rome its not easy to build when the foundation is made out of straw.

This year is all about qualifying for the Champions League. It's not about winning the Premier League. It's also about transition which won't be pretty. Klopp finished 8th in his first season 2015/16, 21 points behind champions Leicester City.
