Finished above 3 of our ex-managers

Would have snapped your hand off for 14th at the start of the season. And to think, because of how tight the midtable was this year, one more win would have put us up to 11th. I do think the squad needs some major changes before next season though. The nucleus is there, but for all our pretty possession football this year we have really struggled to penetrate at times. We never seem to break quickly or play a quick ball forward to a runner, and that is something that you need in your arsenal in the PL. Defences are too good at this level meaning we will always struggle with our seemingly favoured approach of slow, patient build up.

Decent effort from Puncheon.

Mayuka on for Corky.

J-Rod did well there but the finish was weak.

Here comes Owen. Is it written in the stars he will score?

WBA 2-5 Man Utd

Oh hello. I've missed you!

What exactly was that from Davis?

What's the ref given there? He got in the way of the rebound coming back to one of our players and then gave a FK to Stoke???

Will 50 nuns do?

Oooh. comedy defending from Stoke there.

Punch coming on for AL it seems.

Oooh, got a bit lucky with our goal it seems. Looked like a handball from Fonte, but would have been harsh to penalise him for it.

WBA 2-4 Man Utd

That's his first goal in over 9 hours of play? Really?

Rickieeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

Good effort from Lambert. Why have we waited until we are 1-0 down before starting to play?

Jeebus. Sooooo, soo slow and lethargic again. Really good possession on the edge of their box and every time it's wasted.

Came close there

Balls Had to be Crouch didn't it.

I think for the first 20 mins or so we looked quite dangerous on the attack, but we seem to have slowed down to a snail's pace since then. Never any quick forward passes or incisive through balls - it's all just 'tap it around the midfield then lump it straight at the keeper'.

Looked offside to me there.

It's all a bit too pedestrian at the moment. Always slowing the play down and looking for one-too-many passes.
