Twitter Reaction to a Point Salvaged by Man Utd at West Ham
Blind’s injury time equaliser got some fans pretty excited…
Was actually orgasmic! Heart fkin racing!

With our fabled history, littered as it is with late comebacks, the conspiracy theories are inevitable…
My mum currently convinced that United players have shares in angina medicine.

But for most of the game, there was little risk of United supporters getting anywhere near the edge of their seats. ‘Shite’ was the adjective of choice for a fair few Tweeters…
Shite, boring football. I'd rather watch Moyes football than this.

@paddypower it's like the Blind leading the shite as the new saying goes.

As for Van Gaal’s ‘tactical tinkering’, the reaction wasn’t entirely positive…
Utterly clueless for 70 minutes and then the only change made is to bring a big lad on to hoof it up to. Pathetic.

United desperate for some invention. Mata and Herrera on the bench, but Van Gaal throws on Fellaini to lump it long. #philosophy

And Falcao once again failed to impress…
I wonder what LVG thought of Falcao's miss… https://t.co/AArAdJ8trD

Who's better?:

Surely this game was crying out for the in-form James Wilson…

But at least there was a chance for some Smalling-centric sarcasm before proceedings finished…
Chris Smalling will sleep well tonight. He earned his money today. What a 4 seconds.

So, what about that ‘philosophy’, anyway?
Van Gaal should shove his philosophy and his notepad up his arse

Fair comment.
Wonder what Herrera did to piss off Van Gaal. My theory is that he called LVG’s philosophy a bunch of vague bollox.

Entirely plausible.
Overall, another disappointingly dreary performance from United, but a moment of class from the otherwise unimpressive Blind rescued a point for us. Despite our position in the table, the overwhelming mood amongst fans right now is less than optimistic.
Oh well, at least we’ve got De Gea, and if we keep playing like this, we’re bound to keep hold of him…
@D_DeGea You'll be so bored if you go to Madrid.
