Best thing Rooney has done in ages.

edgecutter

Same **** different day. Still can't score, and what's worse is Chelsea have conceded numerous goals all year.

Good news lads, we didn't lose. #Progress

He needs to go ffs

How Soon Is Now

No cutting edge in that team. We had great first half but went back into shell again second half.

Better at times today but still changes nothing Van Gaal needs to call it a day.

J. Marston

We were unlucky. Hit the crossbar, hit the inside of the post, Herrera and Rooney missed sitters, should've had a penalty.

0-0

It couldn't have ended any other way really.

The_Kew_Tour

Step closer to safety. 40 points should see us safe.

Brief was he had to win both games.

He won neither.

Shall see if that brief was true now.

madcabbage

That 1st half was more like it, shame it fizzed out as per usual.

Crimson King

Hopefully that's it, let him go with a bit of pride and get Jose in!

beno619

Much better, the players are possibly still with him.

The next three games will tell us all we need to know.

Out of all the 0-0's I enjoyed that one the most

Kylo Ren

Remember that time we won a game?

Man, that was a good time.

Unearthly

That second half was soul destroying.

Get to 40 points and win the Europa league and everything will be alright :pac:

Also, Depay is comedy gold. I'm not even angry at his performance anymore. He's a great laugh to watch.

Adamocovic

In terms of performance, much better than before, (That wouldnt be tough though)

I think Schneiderlin being back was a huge improvement and was surprising he didn't play before. Don't understand how we didn't end up with the ball in the back of the net today. DDG saved us a few times but jaysus we just can't put chances away.

Think we have learned enough at this stage!

WallyGUFC

Boring. Same as the last 18 months. Unlucky at times with decisions and hitting the woodwork but the football is boring, there's no pace in the team and the squad management has been a farce. I hope this hasn't bought him time, and I don't see why it would have.

irishfeen

Second half was absolutely dreadful!

edgecutter

Jesus the English media love Rooney. Once again he looked like yesterday's bread.

Rossi IRL

90 mins at home and what, 2-3 shots on target.

Enough is enough.

We seen how toxic chelsea were today, thats what Mourihno brings to the table.

Need to look elsewhere for a manager.

adox

Please let that be Van Gaals last game in charge.

I honestly believe the players are with him and are trying the tactics and his style, it just isn't clicking with them. I original thought with time it would be they still seem to struggle with it.

I think I should use "Hopefully next time out they will put in a good performance and go on a run" :P

You're losing the plot a little

Shocking challenge by Rooney towards the end too. Really nasty.

RobbingBandit

Rooney how could you miss such a sitter. How much longer do we have to suffer this misery...

Let's get serious here for a second, because a lot of people are talking of a good performance from united. This Chelsea team is rubbish at the moment. They had no strikers and we couldn't even get at them enough to get the winner.

Chelsea have struggled all year, conceding a huge number of goals against some of the weaker teams in the league. Yet, they come to Old Trafford and are able to comfortably in the second half shut us down.

Time is up for LVG.

This is what I don't get about why people are clamouring for Jose, his brand of football is not much better then what we're seeing at the minute. at the start of the season fans were still complaining when we were winning and it's going to end up the same thing with jose

Lord TSC

Worries me that there seems to be a fair few people being vocal in their optimism about a 0-0 draw (8 games without a win) against a poor Chelsea side, where we played well for about 20 minutes and were our usual selves for the other 70, and barely had any shots.

It shows how bad things are that some people actually seem happy with a 0-0....

Flint Fredstone

The second half wasn't that bad lads. That looked like a decent overall performance to me. It was hardly going to be full throttle for the 90 minutes.

Leroy42

Dreadful miss from Rooney. No excuse for that. On a plate for him. All he had to do was keep it down. Rooney cost us two points today

I honestly thought attacking wise that was one of our best games in recent times. We may have only forced Courtois into 2-3 saves (one of which was top drawer to keep out Herrera) but don't forget we hit the post, crossbar and generally looked more threatening today.

I know attacking and scoring has been a big problem but I wouldn't look at a game where we were improved going forward as some sort of final straw, enough is enough game.

We seen how toxic chelsea were today, thats what Mourihno brings to the table.

I don't want Mourinho as our next manager, but not for the reasons you have stated. Don't understand how based on the performance of the weakened chelsea team today you think Mourinho would be an awful appointment. It's not like he's brought 8 trophies to them and one of their most famous managers :rolleyes:

Need to look elsewhere for a manager.

But hey, at least I can agree with this :P (that is if LVG gets the sack)

The Second half was dire to watch as a nuetral. There was signs in the first half of what this United team is capable of. Long Live LVG.

Kylo Ren

What's Van Gaals favorite past time?





























Drawing. Ahahahahahahhaahhahahahaha.

I said DRAWING, guys.



I think I might be going a little crazy.

De Gea was man of the match, biased English gave it to Rooney.

I agree Chelsea haven't been good lately and were weakened, but we are on a terrible string of performances losing to likes of teams doing not much better (some worse) such as West Brom, Norwich, Bournemouth.

I'm fully aware of the struggles Chelsea have had, but surely you can't deny that it is a fair statement to say the performance was improved greatly compared to previous ones of late.

And to be honest I'd credit the improvement largely to having Smalling Blind back in CB with Schneiderlin and Bastian back in midfield.

J. Marston

Rooney's miss getting criticised but the golden boy, Herrera, missing from 2 yards out, isn't?

Should have headed it. The chance where he was marginally offside and swung aimlessly at the ball was far more criminal, even if it wouldn't have counted

Chagan

The fact that tonight was one of our better performances shows how bad we've been rather than there being any progress.

One point from the two games he supposedly had to win. The board are just delaying the inevitable at this stage.

Bret Hart

If he's still in charge for the Swansea game,that'll be enough too convince me that we'll be stuck with him till the end of the season.

I've stopped believing that the Utd board will do the right thing and sack him.

Flint Fredstone wrote: »

I would put money on Vardy, Lukaku, Giroud to bury that.

Not the easiest chance ever, but for a top player what more does he want that an open goal and a clear view of the ball coming at him with no contact from a defender.
