Can't keep on saying it was unlucky and that teams are defending too deep. We've got to be more clinical in front of goal. The other side of it is conceding cheap goals in the league. Ending on a positive, let's hopefully beat West Ham on Wednesday and try to build some momentum ahead of a tricky trip to Goodison Park.

You might have to give your all to the europa league as it seems the best way back to the championship league .

Incidentally when two teams seems to meet in a cuptie and league game within a few days you never seem to get the same results twice
There is no point Man United focusing on the Europa League when Mourinho does not take it seriously. I think Man United are struggling in the league because of their Europa League commitments. If they just focus on the league then they will win more games and they wont have the distraction of playing on Thursday and Sunday

He put out a decent team against Feyenoord so I would be surprised if he wasn't taking it seriously.

But if Man United has a big game on Sunday after a Europa League game then he will rest half of the team as the league always comes first

We are only struggling points, and goalscoring wise (admittedly the two most key areas), but our general play is great at the moment (probably one of the best in the whole league), so it hopefully shouldn't take all that much to change our fortunes in that regard.

So the Europa League has not had that much of an impact on our league form.

He hasn't done this so far, and these are group games. Why would that change in knockout rounds?

I think it would be a good way to pay our respect tonight if Sir Bobby were to lead it, as there is no better person who understands the pain and tragedy that they are going through then him.

Thankfully Smalling won't be playing tonight to ensure a replication of that scoreline.

Talk of "Mr Outcast" himself making an appearance tonight (aka Schweinsteiger), perhaps a swansong for him then, which might be nice.

If he can work his way back into training, back onto the bench, no reason why he can't work his way back for the rest of the season. He has to be doing something right, as Jose said he'd rather play the kids, than Schwiny, and yet he was on the bench on Sunday.

If we want Carrick to play a role in the team, we know he can't do it more than once a week, if Schwiny can do the other game we'll be laughing.

Smalling's a bit better now than he was 6 years ago.

I'd be more than happy to see him back in the side.

I don't think someone who went through what he did should be made to be on show being forced to think about it.

No one needs to lead a silence. It just happens.

Maybe if he were playing like he did last year, but not as he has done so far this year.

We're have being looking for a while now as if we are going to batter a team and I think tonight's the night. No way are we going to let West Ham off the hook in back-to-back games.

Being pedantic, we let them off the hook in during the league game at there place last season and on Sunday... However, I agree I think we may put a few goals past them tonight.

Bastian has too much quality to be ignored, I for one would love to see him play at least one more time before he goes

Predictable - absolutely battering them and they get one shot for a goal. Our finishing is woeful.
