    Chelsea tearing us a new one today. Getting ripped to shreds. Utter embarrassment. Players also look so lost and devoid of any sense of urgency or hunger.

    Awful. Half chances aside this is not good enough. Mata for Fellaini. Need to be more positive in the second half.

    Fortunately I can't watch it. Is it really so bad? Any chance to make a come-back in the second half?
    People are overreacting imo. We conceded after 30 seconds due to lack of concentration and then they scored a flukey goal. We look like we can score, especially with some changes. Chelsea have slowed down a bit.

    That was bloody dreadful. Smalling, Zlatan, BLind.. I don't want to see them against quality teams away from home.

    That went as crap as it could have. Where does Jose start at half time... could take off 7-8 players from that performance.

    We have looked as poor as we did under Moyes to be honest, nothing seems to work and we get an hammering against all the better teams so far this season.

    Get Fellaini off, put Carrick on.

    Move Rashford up front, put Young on the left and take Ibra off.

    Mata has been in great form, he should have started. Pogba is playing too advanced, he's not getting invovled in the game.

    statues out there, Mou has to get some energy and speed out there. Zlatan deserves to be off along with Fellaini and Pogba. Maybe Fellaini gets pulled but can't see anyone else

    I just hate this. I feel sick tbh. I just don't understand our team sometimes. Just when we haave a chance to grab the title challenge by the throat. I know its a hard game but feck it. Really disgraceful from our team

    It's impossible to come back from that performance. The only way would have been to be clinical because United wouldn't get tons of chances and neither Lingard, Rashford or Zlatan put one in. It's 3pts lost here.

    I hate to say this. With Jose as manager this season, I am not sure if we can beat Chelsea, City, Liverpool, Tottenham or Arsenal. It already so many games yet he doesn't know which is his best team and how they are going to play. It seems that we are in a free fall.

    Big half coming up for Jose... This will show whether he has still got it or last season was the start of the decline...

    Rashford is average on the wing. Zero threat, zero guile.

    Utter rubbish half of football from us. We can't do the simply things right, and look like we are ready to shit ourselves whenever Chelsea get the ball forward. Then going forward we look clueless, and just push it about until eventually Valencia crosses it in and we go back to pooping ourselves as they counter. I think Herrera has been the only player that has performed at a somewhat acceptable level.

    Mata for Fellaini and move Pogba back. Tell Smalling and Blind to wake the feck up and warn Baily not to put a hand on Costa.

    Pogba is totally anonimous today. Seems to be happy playing simple one twos with his back to the goal. No forward passes at all. Want some bite in the midfield. Replace Afro with Mata and Ibra with Martial. Rashford as CC.

    We just look proper average. Backwards passing, no skill, no creativity. Defence has been shambolic. Dont get leaving our best attacking player in Martial on the bench either. Can't see any chance of us getting back into it.

    ibrahimovic- the guy has zero service. He has no one anywhere near him when he does have the ball what do U expect. Rashford should play right up there wiTh Ibra behind.

    Its one of those days. An early mistake has completely shattered our confidence against a very motivated chelski side.

    We have always struggled here, but this one takes the cake.

    Mourinho has alot to do to turn this around if its even possible with this bunch.

    I think the likes of Blind, Fellaini (and Smalling) have been very very poor. Smalling you can chalk it down to a bad game and a terrible shout from De Gea.

    Blind and Fellaini are just not even close to being at the level required for us in the big games. ESpecially Fellaini. He is honestly the main reason why we cant string together two passes because he is just too slow, immobile and shit on the ball.

    Don't think there was much in the game to be honest. Apart from the 2 goals obviously. Still time to turn it around.

    Rashford, Lingard and Pogba have done nothing, which has left Zlatan isolated. But their performances are fantastic compared to Smalling and Fellaini who have been abysmal.

    Time for changes.

    The biggest win for me today was the €4 recap on cash-out on this match. What a fecking steal. Us turning this around is probably less likely than a boeing 747 comes crashing down the stadium.

    Yup Fellaini is definitely the problem, how he makes other playersmake mistakes is just unacceptable.

    Brainless and dumb is how I'd sum us up. Headless chickens at the back when under any pressure at all, very little craft and thought going into our passing and build-up play and so so wasteful up front. Put all that together and you've got a long day ahead.

    Saying that we got better as the half went on (not hard I know but let's look at it positively) and there's a chance for us to get at them. Whether we'll take it is another matter.
