    Martinez really has perfected that look to the linesman,

    He'd want to start looking towards runners.

    Neville hoping it's disallowed. Look at your screen Gary......match is going on

    Did'nt someone here say Martinez would get into every team in the league bar 1?

    I want whatever it is they are smoking.

    Once again maybe it's not so crazy to say Martinez' height is an issue

    Newcastle get their second.

    Martinez awful again, easily out muscled/jumped.

    Uniteds midfield has to change or the game will be over by ht, walking pace.

    i am convinced he’s trying to get a message to VAR officials when he does that - he’s done it before. Nobody has ever said if they are listening to sky feed but i think they are.

    Rashford has to get a run out surely

    How bad is it going to get at United before it starts getting better is now the question. Because on the last few displays they're not just perilously close to it but actually circling the drain here.

    It's unthinkable and still almost impossible to contemplate given some of the other teams below them but this is absolutely relegation form at the moment

    Amorim won't last the season. He looks like he hasn't a clue defensively.

    Trippier trying to score direct from the corner on both attempts. Don't blame him.

    I reckon I could do better as manger of this Utd team than Amorim and I'm shite.

    Amorim's body language on the touchline is inspiring as well.

    If he's not down on his haunches with his head in his hands, he's walking back and forth shaking his head.

    It's not his team fair enough, but the atmosphere in all aspects of the playing side must be absolutely septic

    Newcastle denied a 3rd goal by the offside flag. Isak was well off though.

    This is crazy. It's one way traffic. How did Tonali miss that, smacks the upright. It's shocking defending by Man United.

    Zirkzee cheered off

    Nice.

    Heading straight to the tunnel. Fair play lad

    This maybe quite a statement. But this is the worst UTD performances that I can remember. Like worse than the 5 and 7 nils to Liverpool...

    No sign of injury? That is some punishment to be hauled off after 33 minutes to a reaction like that.

    There hasn't been one player out there for United that has been much better than him this evening.

    Only 2 nil, the only positive for United.

    Mainoo on for Zirksee after only 30 mins, tough on him but otherrs could have gone before him.

    United have actually gotten worse, which I really didn't think was possible.

    oof that’s a fairly bad take… you can’t do anything about other teams in the league (and the various things they’ve been accused of), but Klopp teams got over 90 points 3 times, with two being 97 and 99 point seasons. That’s the highest level ‘pool have ever been in the PL, and likely will remain the highest level they’ll ever be, as it’s only a hair off perfection. Slot’s doing really well, but his team are still just 3 points ahead of Klopps entirely rebuilt team last season. Long way to go to be said he’s surpassed Klopp’s level.

    That’s absolutely dreadful by the fans no matter how poor the lad was

    Zirkzee booed off the pitch and the crowd cheers as crosses the line.

    Is there some deeper problem between Zirkzee and the fans? I get that he's not played well but he's a pretty inexperienced player who's only been at the club a few months, and not many have played well in that time.

    I'd say someone had a word in Zirkzee's ear to go back out and sit on the bench.

    Probably went in to get his phone

    Poor form from a fair majority of Old Trafford all the same.

    Amorim isn't going to last at this rate.

    Whatever about the quality of the players available, the tactics are down to him and his coaches and it's been utterly shambolic.

    I can't remember a Premier league side conceding directly from corners in consecutive weeks in the thirty odd years of the competition.

    We can't sign whoever we want, so he's stuck with the majority of these players for the next year or two.

    United will be relegated playing this football for the rest of the season.

    We can't get a foothold in any game.

    Ten Hag was sacked because he couldn't deviate from his process, Amorim won't change his approach to the game either.

    Someone needs to sit him down and point out just how insane the way he's setting the side up is.

    Rashford is well overdue his marching orders, but he's been the biggest story of Amorim's reign. He didn't need to turn that situation into a circus and he's seemiolost the dressing room now as a result.

    I can see him getting sacked by February. The club has been in a deep crisis for years, but this is as bad as its ever been.

    Glazers Out!

    This has been a proper beating, but Man Utd desperately need to get to HT

    Get a spawny goal back and anything can happen, but make no mistake, if it was 0-4 by now, you couldn't say it wasn't well earned.
