    Only watched the last 10 minutes of this but the lack of movement and this is with Rashford, Lingard and Martial playing is staggering.

    Something just isn't right at all, there's no width, everything is played so slow and we have no directness when we get the ball out at all

    Can't see any improvement next season even If we buy players. Jose has to change something

    This team will be lucky to win the FA Cup,

    No chance of the league next year.
    Trouble we have there is I think Chelsea are finding some form, so just have to hope we do our great against the Top 6 act. Most of these players tonight deserve to be sold.

    Fully deserved. Dreadful from us and we barely created anything. Those who think we are a good side this season :lol:
    Don't even dare to put this down to a lack of motivation or something. This type of performance has been seen countless times this season. Mourinho doesn't know how to get them playing well consistently.

    Nice to see BHA and their fans celebrating staying in the EPL though.

    Waste of an evening that one.

    Can we just skip on to the FA Cup final now please?

    Pogba is quite frustrating, but Martial seems to have lost his unpredictability now. We all know he'll just try and cut in, and dribble past the whole team. Must fail on 99.9% of times.

    You gotta love the underdogs putting a performance like that and winning it. It's like they've just won the Premier league. Great game by them, shambolic from United.

    There's only so many times we can blame the players before Mourinho must start shouldering the blame. The best managers have patterned and choreographed attacks. The players know what space they're running to and where their teammates will be. We have none of that.
    Exactly this. Why some fans can't just admit this I really don't know.

    Our attacking play is non existent. Everyone doing their own thing. It's a coaching issue.

    In any case, I'm happy for Brighton. They have their 40 points and are safe. Well deserved.

    Player should be paid based on performance after each match. I bet they'll try a lot harder.

    I couldn't care less at this point. Congratulations to Brighton. I can't wait till this season is done. Progress my arse. We'll do well to stay in top 4 next season.

    Well I suppose this is what you get when you freeze players out and then when needed they don’t perform. It is like when a player gets injured for a couple of weeks, it takes them so many games to get to the level they had before the injury, except in this case they get kept on the bench.

    Agreed.

    I like Brighton. They show and play good attacking football and have a bit of grit behind them. They deserve the win tonight and they deserve to stay up.

    I'd much rather they stay up and West Brom go down.

    This is sad. We had ZERO passion. It was like watching Arsenal. Bad thing is for the first time in our history we failed to gain a point away at ANY 3 of the promoted sides.

    You think he just says "right lads, just go out there and doss about, don't be sharp and everyone stand still" .Nonsense.

    He can pick the wrong players or the wrong formation, or whatever, but a performance this bad lands squarely at the feet of the players imo.
    Two years in, I still can’t see a coherent stategy going forward. There’s far too many games where we simply fail to create any clear cut chances. We are simply far too dependent upon individual moments from some clearly talented players.

    Two years in, only one player has had an outstanding season under Mou and that is our goalkeeper this year.

    Strange thing is, i don't even get upset anymore, totally apathic with it all. 1 down so bring on Shaw and Mctimony and leave that total fraud Pogba on, yeah right.

    It's days like today that makes me worried going in to a new season with Mourinho still at the helm. I just fear it will go horribly wrong and we will end up in 10th or something.
