Hardly, this is the 4th game now. So far this season we have scored 2 goals, 1 of which was a own goal.

Rooney has had 2 clear good attempts, which a younger Rooney would have put away in his sleep.

Omg your calling them clear? Wtf

Kirby

Rooney and Mata have both had chances. Not scoring is concerning but creating nothing is even more so.

It's been a good half to watch for a neutral. Both teams in it.

I love that every time Romero catches the ball, he grins like the Cheshire Cat.

He ain't no Phil Jones!

With a quality #9, United could be 3-1 up. Rooney left his hat trick boots in Bruges.

Swansea haven't scored so how would it be 3-1?

He's probably referencing Gomis nearly scoring and hitting the post.

Our #9 would have scored for them too.

So what you are saying is the level of chance is purely based around money?

I find this type of football so joyless.

No what im saying, is Rooney is being played in the wrong position. They clearly need a Striker. Or is 1 goal in 4 games exceptable?

Do you think they were they clear chances or not? I don't think so. Not the two I saw where Rooney reached for a ball bombed over the top and the other was the difficult chip\lob attempt from tight angle out left in the box. If I'm missing one apologies

Man Utd with a lot of possession but its mostly easy possession and only once have they gotten in behind the Swansea defense. It's that lack of dynamism that's causing Man Utd so many problems when they go forward.

Gomis looks dangerous when he goes down Blind's channel, but Swansea definitely missing Montero, Routledge just not at all effective. That being said they probably should be in the lead.

It's purile possession, possession as a defensive tool rather than an attacking tool.

Same. Looking for safe options when runners are moving. You have to take risks and we take none.

madcabbage

Hererra needs to get his ass on the ball more! Mike and Darmian are doing well again.

Another 0-0 on the cards for united after a midweek game, they're going to struggle this year, the sooner they get knocked out of the champs league the better if they want to challenge for the title.

Rossi IRL

Iv a feeling we will be seeing Fellaini soon, possibly Carrick.

If there on the bench

Liam O

Sign McMenamin as a stop-gap

Well, as a fan of simply enjoying my team being in the CL again, I'll not subscribe to this joyless way of thinking.

MagicIRL

Luke Shaw take a ****ing bow.

Lord TSC

Mataaaaaa

Rossi IRL

Mata is crap on right wing, some foolishly say

Chagan

Rubbish defending but who cares

Knex*

That was all kinds of horrible from Swansea, including the free kick from Shelvey.

Nice finish though

RobertKK

The Juan and only Mata, nobody I rather see...scoring, good to see him get his league goal scoring campaign going.

GreNoLi

England have no trouble producing full backs.

ician

ouch ayew

MagicIRL

That's the second United attack today where someone was coming in on the far post. It's been far too long since we've had players doing that.

Lord TSC

Owen Goal nearly getting another

RobertKK

That was nice between Herrera and the Swansea player.

Him and Cork held hands

No surprise Routledge has gone off

Rossi IRL

FFS, that all came from Rooney giving it away so cheaply

Lord TSC

Rooney giving the ball away.

And a goal. Awesome.

Shaw in no mans land, nice header

GreNoLi

All came from Wazza fecking that one two up.

Mata should have squared it to roo

MagicIRL

Shaw very slow getting back.

Liam O

Blind should have closed the space a lot faster there.

madcabbage

Well there goes the clean sheet! It's all over lads, we might as well go home!

Stupid fat fcuk Rooney

Stream is delayed

Schwiiing

Blind and Schweinsteiger will cost us this season.

Chagan

I'd be blaming Shaw and the CB's loose marking before Rooney for that.
