    I’d take DDG off at half time and if Rashford doesn’t keep the ball at least once - sub him for lazy Tony on 60th min. Is Greenwood on the bench?

    De Gea lost all leverage in contract negotiations for me now. Either he takes £200k or get rid. Chances are we could of seen best of him anyways.

    I imagine something somewhere is Paul Pogba’s fault too.

    it's also been undone because we've insisted on sitting back. that approach is on Ole. why change a good thing. we scored due to pressing high up the pitch and wresting control of the game overall.

    So instead of carrying on we sit back and give the game to them. It is f u c k i n g INSANE. Stupid
    How many times do we have to watch United play under different managers doing the same thing to see it’s the players? Do you think Ole ran down at 1-0 and told them to stop attacking?

    I think we've been immeasurably better than in the last month or so. Everyone is playing well, bar that mistake by Dave and the needless yellow by Ander.

    Lukaku breaking a sweat and playing really well.

    Confident for the 2nd half.

    De Gea is a walking liability right now, we might score another and he may easily be the reason we concede again. Pull him off and let Romero in now

    Never like playing a guy based on reputation rather than form. Not good for the player, for the team, of the squad players awaiting an opportunity.

    How can you go from being the best keeper in the world to a calamitous liability seemingly overnight?

    Doesn't make sense.

    No, we're blaming him for not dropping de Gea after clangers in four straight matches.
    Ridiculous to blame him for not dropping our best keeper in a crunch match like this. Not even Fergie would've done that, unless there s a clear reason his head is turned.

    Herrera is shocking a red card waiting and De Gea is just a joke at the min . This should be his last game this season at least

    We've been the better team, should have got a second. They equalised out of nowhere after kicking Pogba all over the pitch.

    Rashford needs more composure on the ball. De Gea should have been dropped after the City game, he's clearly shattered.

    Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

    i would take him off now. Chelsea knows he's shaky and they will target him.

    Please God somehow, some way let us score a few goals and get a 3-1 or 4-1. We don't deserve seeing our only truly WC player of the last 6 years play like this

    Genuinely feel bad for Dave

    Shame. We should kill them after the goal and go for another. We allowed them to come back. And Ddg of course.
    Our whole season will be decided in one half now. Bloody hell, i hate that.

    Rashford should buy Dave a beer, that howler will take the focus off how bad he's been.

    Generally our outfield performance has been fantastic though, far far better than recently.

    Dave is really costing us. Ole should have invented an excuse and sent him away for a break. Nothing wrong with that. It wouldn't' mean we're not supporting him. Now the whole team and club suffers because he's just not 100% concentrating. How can we justify that by saying he saved us the last couple of years? How does help us and him?
    Not sure it's concentration. The stupid mug he pulled doesn't fill you with confidence though.

    Rashford short of confidence. Messing up all our attacks with his lack of conviction.

    Everyone said and knew Ole should've dropped the twat for this game. Even for his own good.

    In the last few weeks he’s had clangers against

    Arsenal
    Wolves
    Barcelona
    Everton
    Man City
    Chelsea

    A shocking amount of errors really.

    De Gea

    Culpable for another goal. 3

    Young

    Provided a good cross. 6

    Bailly

    Impressive return. 7

    Lindelof

    Calmness personified. 7

    Shaw

    Superb left-back play. 8

    Matic

    Much-improved. 7

    Pogba

    Imperious at times. 7

    Herrera

    Enhanced the midfield. 7

    Mata

    Superb control and poise. 8

    Rashford

    Trying but naive at times. 6

    Lukaku

    Been a handful for Chelsea. 8
    Would agree with those. Aside from Dave and Rashford, everyone has done well enough so far.

    @Drifter being there for him? There are football matches to be won. If his head ain’t right - feck off to the bench instead of making the situation worse by playing him again and again error after error.

    Sub De Gea and Rashford in half-time. Both are not up for it today and just stinking the place.

    It's too many mistakes now, we can't keep turning a blind eye and looking at past performances. He needs to be dropped .

    Rashford is constantly stretching their defense creating openings for everyone else. He's working tirelessly.
