    What’s up, Dave? Haven’t seen a drop in performance like this from an athlete who was the best in the world since Tiger Woods was busted banging Waffle House waitresses.

    Rom, Shaw, Mata and Pogs have been great... Herrera making a massive difference too.

    Shame about DDG though... Needs his confidence back asap.

    Lukaku and Rashford have been so disappointing. De Gea has been so awful and painfully average this season . We will miss out on CL because of him .
    I'm not one of his biggest defenders on here, but Lukaku has been great in the 1st half. Not sure why you'd say that.

    It sucks... but we do again.

    We’ve been far better today and this Chelsea team are nothing special. We have to throw the kitchen sink at them.

    Everybody’s been good but Rashford needs to step his quality up.

    Don't know why everyone thinks we will get something out of this, Ole is incapable of raising the standards at half time it's cost us in recent weeks and will cost us again. We need to be 2 or more goals up to be comfortable in a game cannot defend a lead.

    De Gea has been the worst he's been since the first season and is holding the club to a new contract. Bench him.

    Rushford and De Gea will be on downfall. Rushford always get to great position but he final ball or decision making is really. Maybe Sanchez should replace him permanently.

    Lukaku has done well and Rashford's off the ball runs have been excellent. Chelsea defending poorly, except for Rudiger, and we might have had a couple more. I expect to see much more of a threat from Chelsea second half.

    Taibi was sold because he was shit. If he’d been great for years before having a bad couple of months you’d have a point. He didn’t and you don’t. People like you are the worst amongst our support.
    Torres was amazing before he was shit, De Gea hasn’t been making mistakes for years, ask any Spain supporter. He’s won us points previously but you can’t let a former 3 time player of the year stay on for another 5 years if he’s fecking lost it. I’m glad you’ve got a special place for me.

    It's clear that DDG is no longer the top keeper in the PL, let alone the world. Just like his performances for Spain, he has been shocking for us this season.

    Would not bat an eyelid if we received a world record fee for a player that wouldn't even be here if not for a broken fax machine.

    Seems like people have an axe to grind but I think he needs dropping for his own sake. The contract talk is clearly affecting his mentality - what else can it be?

    I don't want to sell him, that's knee-jerking of the highest order.
    I’m on about the muppets saying its Oles fault, and telling him to feck off, after bailing us and securing points week in week out for at least 3 seasons now. Oh and the clown comparing him to tahaibi!

    The persistence in playing Rashford and De Gea has cost us yet again.

    Cannot believe how many are calling for DDG to be sold.

    Have a look.

    And Martial for Rashford? Why? so he can stand in one place huffing and puffing.

    It’s worried me for years how many mental weaklings we have in a red shirt...now our keeper’s lost the plot. Jesus.

    Same as you, not a fan, if we can upgrade great, but arguably best performer today.

    Gutted at that end, was a very good performance, loads of hard work.

    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.
    He dropped his first choice keeper for an FA Cup final! Sealey got the nod for the replay against Palace in 1990 after Leighton had been shocking in the first game.

    Replacing your keeper at HT would be rather drastic but, given Ole likes to reference the Fergie era so often, so was replacing your keeper ahead of a cup final replay.

    De gea isn't someone who he we need to be pandering too, he hasn't been up to scratch and needs to be dropped.

    It seems some here are worried he may want to leave if dropped, well if he acts like that then we can't have someone on the books that thinks he shouldn't be benched.

    DDG in awful form. Not much that anyone can do about it. Interesting to see how this affects his contract negotiations. Can’t see too many clubs willing to pay him.

    Rashford and De Gea were our two brightest spots before this run of form.

    Now they're literally costing us top 4 (along with Young/Ole's selection and tactics)

    I just saw Giggs dribble on the left before crossing for a goal from Bellion. I miss Giggs.:(

    Off form and has lost that edge in terms of reaction. Could be lack of concentration, sure, but he looks more out of sorts and confidence to me.
    This!
    That was a regulation catch not even a save so not concentration

    Confidence more than anything else. Subbing him will only make the situation worse

    One howler and his head became fecked up and now he's making Karius look like Oliver Kahn. Absolutely fuming he let them back in the game like this. Only 3 fecking minutes remained till half time absolute prick.

    Rudiger has been great. Such a class player. Was hoping he'd miss the game.

    Hope we can keep the intensity up.
