    Four bad results in a row - depressing.
    Seeing the league start to slip away - depressinger.

    We played reasonably well today. Giggs and Scholes moved the ball around quite well. Berbatov was the key too all our creativity (his shot straight at Robinson near the end wasn't good enough though).

    Kiko failed to do anything at all which was a disappointment, but he's young and has been out a lot this season tbf. Nani made far too many wrong decisions. Valencia didn't do enough and missed a sitter. JOS and Nev didn't do nearly enough, their lack of crossing and forward runs didn't help the wingers in the slightest.

    Gibson added absolutuely nothing when he came on. Park did alright with some nice touches but he's not good enough to be relied on to win a game.

    The title race is over now barring a miraculous bit of help from a Tottenham side that couldn't beat Pompey today. Very disappointing to see the challenge seemingly ending with a whimper.

    I said a month or so ago if Rooney got injured we were screwed and so it's proved. He's the heart and brains of the whole operation.

    Also I'm not one to have knee-jerk reactions about players but I don't think this is one as I've questioned this player before plenty of times - Nani was absolutely atrocious today. This was the kind of game he needed to deliver in after a good showing in midweek and he was absolutely terrible. I lost count of the amount of times his corners failed to beat the first man, his sloppiness over simple passes. Every time he got the ball you sensed something was going to happen - for Blackburn.

    wow.

    i know a lot of people have taken the p*ss out of how reliant Utd are on Rooney, but i honestly didn't expect it to peter out like it seems to be without him.

    utd wthout Rooney looks remarkably similar to Liverpool without Torres.

    like us, utd maybe need new gamebreakers when Rooney's not about, not a squad overhaul.

    I think most sensible United fans will agree that United need someone with more creative quality in midfield and someone really top class on the left. I think with that in place they would:

    1. Be less reliant on Rooney

    2. Could afford to even play 2 up front, which would suit berba better on days when Rooney isn't fit.

    The general overreactions and prophecies of doom are something I've been hearing for years and years and are as hasty as they are unsurprising.

    2-3 good signings and United will mount a huge challennge on all fronts
