Tweet

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho questions the consistency of his attacking players into question after his side were held to a 0-0 draw by West Brom on Saturday.
-
Red Devils were without suspended Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Andre Herrera and injured Juan Mata, Smalling and Jones.
-
Marcus Rashford was denied by a fine save from Ben Foster late in the game.
-
Mourinho has accused his forwards of only offering "a glimpse of talent" as they played out an eighth draw in 15 home games in the top flight this season.
-
"In teams that want to win things, you need consistency in the individuals," the United boss told a news conference.
-
"In some other clubs, in some teams where you play for the top 10, a player with talent is always welcome even if that talent is not consistent, even if that talent is one day yes, one day no.
-
"In teams at this level, you need to be consistent. [On Saturday], for 90 minutes, [Antonio] Valencia was consistent, Ashley Young was consistent, Marcos Rojo was consistent, [Eric] Bailly was consistent, [Marouane] Fellaini was consistent, [Michael] Carrick was consistent, and the other ones were not consistent.

"The other ones were a flash of talent, a glimpse of talent, one good action, almost a goal. And we need to kill opponents.
-
"This is deja vu all season. And when you score a goal against these teams you don't win 1-0, you win 3-0 or 4-0 because you score a goal and then the game is open and then you have a completely different story because then they have to play a different way.
-
"And we are not consistent on this, we miss easy chances, we have moments or periods where we push really but then a couple of players they disappear and they have 10 minutes where we don't see them. And you see always the same people, always the same guys, always the same guys in front of the train, pulling the train.
-
"So it's disappointing because it's one more draw, it's an amazing unbeaten run, amazing. Nineteen matches [without defeat] in the modern Premier League is fantastic.
-
"But it is too many draws at home, because some draws away from home are acceptable, positive, you can deal with it. But too many draws at home."
