Had to win this game - can't even see us getting a goal never mind three.

Gonna need to see some individual magic from someone

Playing against 12 here

Smalling got caught out by Herrera's touch in the corner so not a whole lot there he could do but that first goal, dear lord.

Ya for the second goal Smalling had that ball cleared only for the touch off Herrera caught him out

Tony V is the only player that can be happy with his first half performance

Agreed 100%
It's not tactics that let a goal in within 30 seconds. That's 100% on the players and forces every tactic to be thrown out the window then.

It's both tbh. The midfield set up makes no sense.

Ander has been the one positive again today

No idea what you're seeing, think he's been awful. Carrick and Schneiderlin should be starting over him and Fellaini imo

Rossi IRL

Pogba needs to start pulling his weight.

He dosnt seem to help out and all he seems to be doing is prancing around the pitch away from the ball.

It makes sense if he wanted to grind out another 0-0 draw like against Pool. It will probably be changed at half time, I guess.

Quandary

This really has been very poor. Terrible first half from Utd. Chelsea not even that great either.

He's been God awful. We've been at our best with Mata in the team. Fenerbache; Leicster, Stoke without we are horrible inept in the final 3rd.

jayo26

Need Mata on there for fellaini he hasn't contributed anything decent going forward.

Liam McPoyle

We look so bloody lethargic out there.

Pretty much everyone with a heavy touch.

3 high pressure games in 6 days may be part of the reason but it cannot be the only one.

Kerrydude1981

Thank Christ it's half time

Ordinary man

Ibra will be lucky not to be subbed, he not having any joy today

Manutd_4life

Catastrophic - we're handing these 3 points to Chelsea.

loudnoises89

Tony Martial and Young have to come on at half time.

Call Me Jimmy

Over-coached looking players again. Seems like there's so much rigid instruction the players are barely using their brain / instincts

What about Pogba ? At least Fellaini has been involved.

Manutd_4life

Double sub of Carrick and Mata is what I would do.

edgecutter

Smalling is lucky that Rojo doesn't get on ahead of him, absolute disaster of a game.


Mata, carrick and Martial were all warming up and I wouldn't be surprise to see all come on.

Rayne Wooney

Martial and Mata on for Ibra and Fellaini

Play Rashford up top

bangkok

Fellaini running around doesn't know where he is playing.

Also playing way to defensive, line of 6 at the back joke

Quandary

A truly shocking first half there. Too many players having nightmares out there. Pogba, Blind, Smalling have been abysmal. Fellaini poor too. Herrera having to do an awful lot on his own.

Pogba needs to be hooked he's been that poor. It's all well and good swanning around the pitch showing your skills against mediocre teams in the Europa league but if you aren't willing to do the leg work against quality opposition in the PL it counts for nothing.

Now we have to listen to Souness frothing at the gash as he savours a terrible Utd performance.

castletownman

Remember that time not long ago when people were suggesting that Smalling was one of the best centre-halves in Europe?

Ridiculous notion

Mantis Toboggan

Pogba wouldn't lace Paul Scholes boots, awful stuff yet again from the 90 million pound man

Come down off it. Rojo is easily one of the worst players we have ever signed. A mannequin would be better than that piece of thrash.

TheDoc

This is exactly why I dislike this plan. One brain fart and it's all out of the window and your team isn't set right. We have another brainfart and it's essentially game over.

Cannot get back into it when your team is set to counter.

Actually mental I'm having to say this but Fellaini needs off and Carrick on into Hererras position and move Herrera alongside Pogba.

And our wide players need to start taking some risks. Sitting way too deep.

If Pogba could actually turn up for this second half it would be great

I would take a mannequin over Smalling right now, Smalling is having a mare

Would walk into the Barcelona team we were told...
Barcelona handball team perhaps

Sorry for the spolier but we win this 4-2

A man considered to amongst the best managers in the world (and for some one of the best of all time) should have a plan B in place for worst case scenarios.

Let's see what Mourinho comes up with in the second half.

Rossi IRL

Wrong sub, will leave us even more exposed in midfield unless Pogba starts trying.

loudnoises89

What's going on with Henrikh Mkhitaryan? Is he injured or does Jose not rate him? Him at his prime Dortmund level would turn this game for us. Instead we have the like of wasteful Lingard and floundering Felliani/Herrera doing a whole pile of nothing on the pitch.

Jayop

These are a bunch of cheats.

At least pogba is capable of winning a game for us he has that ability even tho he has has a quiet half. No point in fellaini been involved when he is tripping over himself and not looking to advance play.

Mars Bar

Bailly down now. Bollox

Manutd_4life

And Rojo is coming on - can this fcuking get any worse!!!

Rossi IRL

Our only defender capable of defending is going off injured...........balls

Not fit.

Mars Bar

No forward ahead of the ball there when Rashford had it. That's just ridiculous

Mr.Crinklewood

Would rather have McGibbon or Prunier instead of Rojo.

Bleating Lamb

Pogba needs to worry more about his performances and less about his haircuts!

Jayop

Jesus Christ.

Rossi IRL

Ibra is offering nothing right now

According to Mkhitaryan himself,he is fully fit and was stunned to have been left out of the squad for the Fenerbahce match.
Speaking after the match, Mourinho made it clear that he wants the Armenian to work harder in order to force his way into the side.

bangkok

Our best passer sitting on the bench, our 2 fastest attacking players basically playing as wing backs. Awful

Rossi IRL

Man City midweek

Hococop

So so depressing

Mantis Toboggan

Pathetic

Mantis Toboggan

Hopefully this will make Jose pull the finger out and sort it out

Manutd_4life

Game over. Adios

Our league form this month is costing us and ultimately will cost us come the end of this season. Tragic
