We just need to keep going in the second half. Sooner or later Southampton is going to concede.
He could be a severed head in a jar and he'd have done better than that first half from Mhki.Injured isn't He?
It's like LVG never left. It's extremely worrying.Created 2 chances all game. Other than that, slow, uninspired, lethargic, uncreative.
I just can't wrap my head around the fact we are lining up these 3 up front after all those millions spent.A front three of mkytarian, rashford and lingard, it’s simply not good enough. If an opposition team came with that attack, would anyone be worried? I appreciate Lukaku has gone off but that just brings me on to my next point, we have wasted a staggering amount of money.
Three very good chances, Lukaku, Rashford and Lingard all had headers they should have done better with.Created 2 chances all game. Other than that, slow, uninspired, lethargic, uncreative.
Our problem is we don’t attack with numbers and they always have to do too much.Our forwards are cowards. Have developed a horrible habit of hiding in between the lines of the opposition defence and visibly not looking for possession. Mata is the only one demanding the ball, the rest are waiting for something to happen.
Genuinely not a pessimistic fan like so so many on here, but there's a fairly big clear out required at the club in order to address attitude, not necessarily quality.
That's about as funny as Mkhi's left wing crossingThe ref has certainly got his Paws on this match
LolWe just need to keep going in the second half. Sooner or later Southampton is going to concede.
The one with 3 vs 2 was criminalAnd wasted another 10 chances due to shocking final balls mostly from Mkhi.
Yeah I guess. Was just naming players who have done alright, but makes sense. We've had plenty of good openings and then Miki just completely fecking up. Rashford hasn't been as bad, but also been wasteful overall.The rest as in the only 2 players you didnt mention
We've been like this all season. Why would anyone think we've got a chance in the CL?If we don't find form within the next 3 weeks - we can forget about Champions League. We are so far away in quality, from the other teams at the top right now.
No. Typical Mourinho team with absolutely no good attacking drills on the game. He got De Bruyne and Salah before and he just can’t bring the best out of the attacker.Totally agree, compared to all the other top clubs are attack ain’t up to standards.
But what do you really think of him?
It's great isn't it. Say one word against them and boom! Stadium ban. They are protected like fecking endangered wildlife.The standard of refereeing in the league is terrible. The worst part is they won’t be held to any sort of standards.
"Deliberate" is often also interpreted as "unnatural position" though - which was the case here. There's no reason for his hand to be up there, so it's a penalty.Bold: yes, obviously, as it's an accident. Have you seriously never heard the term "ball to hand"?
The rule specifically states "deliberately" handling the ball, you can't fecking moan and call someone stupid for correctly quoting the rules.
As for other incidents being given, it's a rule that's misapplied a hell of a lot, that doesn't change the simple fact that he was 100% correct in stating that handball has to be deliberate.
Apologies for offending Chris Foy's sonBold: yes, obviously, as it's an accident. Have you seriously never heard the term "ball to hand"?

Don’t really think it’s taking on the players that’s the problem. It’s that final ball/end product that’s the problem. All of them are fluffing it up.Told you at the beginning, none of them can take on the player.
Care to explain why you disagree than just disagreeing for the sake of it?Apparently you haven't
Indeed, Hargreaves stated the same; we slow down which allows the opposition to regroup. It's all a bit too easyOur problem is we don’t attack with numbers and they always have to do too much.
Would not matter if we did they would play half paced with no desire like everyone else on the squad.As bad as the Van Gaal days that performance. Static players, no movement. No width. How the f8ck can we not have any out and out wingers at our club
Meh, I saw Ralph Milne play better than Mkihitarayn. At least Ralph's crosses would stay in the box, and he'd work back for the cause.Probably the worst left wing performance since Ed Miliband.
Martial is on the bench, we need him on the pitch.Injured isn't He?
Agreed, I’m fuming here! Whip out the cards and be done with it. The penalty decision is criminal in itself.I can't respect referees. Not the handball thing. More the timekeeping and time wasting part.
Though, he is on the bench. Would probably be a risk to bring him on.Injured isn't He?
Yes we did, just because we didn't do enough in attack doesn't mean we didn't control the game, Southampton had one decent chance, everything else we dealt with and if our finishing was better Lingard and Lukaku would have both scored.We didn’t controlled the game. We discuss dominated the game as well.
