Somehow we managed to lose and play our best XI further fatiguing them. Ole really fecked up today.

played shit in first half but matched them. De Gea then threw 2 in his net and we didn’t recover. Awful performance. Need to make sure we don’t carry it into our last 2 games. De Gea needs dropping.

Not a single redeeming feature from that performance. Special credit to our inspirational captain.

If Ole put out a weak team he'd be lambasted for not going for it. We weren't that bad until the Bailly injury, and then individual mistakes killed us.

Disappointing loss but not the end of the world. Need to get ready for the next two matches and move on.

Mike Dean is incompetent at his job and it needs to be called out.

I am so done with De Gea. I don't even care about FA Cup that much. Winning the next two matches and qualifying for Champions League is 1000x times more important. But De Gea has to go. He's been making idiotic mistakes all season. We can't win anything with him being so unreliable. We have a perfectly good goalkeeper on loan who is dying to get a chance, and there's zero reason why we should put up with this bullshit

Agree 100%

Shit show all round, including the selection. Should have rested Bruno I think, but it is what it is, we went out to win but DDG and a tired team cost us.

  1. We rested half of our first XI
  2. Had 2 days less rest
  3. Scored an own goal
  4. Goalkeeper made an inexcusable error
  5. Our CB went off on a stretcher after a head injury.
Terrific day.

Yeah. Would have been little better had we won tbh. Europe looks tricky now.

Poor but UCL is way more important. De Gea's mistake for the second goal killed the game.

Hope to win big v/s West Ham!

Genuinely think we could have played a second string and it wouldn’t have been any worse, in fact I’m sure it would have been better. We’d have a fresh team for West Ham as well.

We didn’t turn up for the third game running, the difference is this time we couldn’t paper over the cracks.

I’m not as fussed as I should be. No fans. Would prefer to win our first trophy under Solskjaer with fans there

Chelsea had 2 days extra rest and preparation. Ole made the right decision to rest players. We rested some players and tried to win the game. It didn't work out, but you still need to give it a go and not give up the game.

If Ole made more changes we would have lost the game - our second team can't win anything. He played the team he thought could win.

The last few games have highlighted we desperately need reinforcements.

Absolutely abysmal all round. Don’t know where to begin.

Trying to find any positives from that is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Well not quite, we had some of them on the bench and Shaw out injured. Can't be helped that De Gea allows 2 goals he must save.

But overall, terrible performance.

Shocking from Ole. Shocking from the players. Shocking from the PL making us have 2 days less to prepare and rest.

Bad day. Well beaten. Now have to get top 4.

Some shocking performances in there but whatever, lets get top 4 done and then prepare for next season.

A couple of defenders and the keeper don't look up to it.

Better side won on the day.

As long as we get top-4, I’m not going to be too bothered. A Cup win would’ve been nice, but we need to be in the CL & that’s the priority.

Crap performance. Have to really pick ourselves up now for the next game. I worry that we have lost momentum.

Yeah I worry how this affects the confidence and momentum. It will now most likely be a horrible nervy affair against West ham.
