West Brom 1-2 Manchester United - 5 Talking Points

#2 West Brom need to show more of what they did in the last 30 minutes

West Brom waited too long before finally engaging United's backline

West Ham ended the match with more shots than Manchester United. While that is not an accurate representation of the route that the game took, West Brom did walk out of the tunnel blinking before getting jostled back inside at the full-time whistle.

But for the last half an hour, Pardew's men did not look like a team that is languishing at the 19th place on the Premier League table. Rodriguez even came close to equalizing in the 85th minute after he headed just wide off the mark from a Gibbs cross.

They have now gone for 17 games without winning and need to show that fight for all of 90 minutes in the upcoming fixtures if they're to sail out of forlorn shores. Burke, Livermore, Rondon and Brunt are all players capable of turning games around but the lack of a cohesive element, makes them look rather ordinary on the pitch.

While they were not willing to back down from a fight, quite literally, as the game dragged on, one is left wanting to see them channel that same vigour into something that will ultimately disturb the opposition's netting.

As it stands, however, the fellow diseased are all out of the clinics and breathing much better. And it is high time the Baggies got their act together.
