Good performance. I like how he is seen as the answer to any problem in any area of the field. Defence having a problem, bring on Fellaini to add strength. Midfield having a problem, bring him on so that we can play it directly to him and he can lay it off to others around him. Problem up front...

Made one silly tackle, but apart from that was quite good. Looked quite at home with the Fulham team. Did not try anything flashy and crossing was also good. Good loan for him.

Was surprised with how good he looked even on the ball after seeing our midfield toil all day trying to make simple passes and get dispossessed constantly. Think he should start above Fred, for the time being at least, until Fred has adjusted to the pace of the PL. Won't be pretty, but we might...

Think it is time for him to go. Does not seem to have a good relationship with the board, the players or the fans. Caught somewhere in the middle. Van Gaal, for all his faults, still had a good relationship with the players. We are looking shockingly like Mourinho's Chelsea team in his last year...

Don't know how he will eventually turn out to be but that performance was really bad. Hard to say what he is good at. We looked a much better team when Fellaini came in, so, sadly, I don't think he will even displace Fellaini.

I don't care about investment and millions or players or anything. We should not be this awful against dross like Brighton, no matter what team we put out. Rubbish management and tactics have are slowly making us worse and worse. Regardless of the outcome of the match, we can need a new...

My only gripe is, we have a good bordering on great midfield now but Mourinho's tactics are too conservative to help them develop. For them to progress they need to see more of the ball. Annoys me to see our players stand deep and try to chase and disrupt opponent moves. This is OK for people...

Just from a performance perspective, he looked quite out of sorts when the match started but started playing OK as the game went on. Nothing really special. It will take him about a month or two to adjust to this pace. I have a feeling he will improve and do well.

If we had a young side and had not bought players then we might had some reason to feel optimistic. But that is not the case here. Young and Valencia should really just be backups and will hurt us when we are trying to get the ball out of our half. Matic will be a year older and has way too...

January window was better.

The only thing that could have got Mourinho to play some decent attacking football was new signings, because the generally leaves it to the players to take advantage of the space created by his extreme defensive tactics. So, given that we have made no major improvements and were dire last...

We have sold Blind but Darmian is still here. Blind still showed some quality.

Ah.. Yes. You are right. Slipped my mind. Hope we can get a good deal for Jones.

I would actually like to see us move one of our 6 CBs (counting Blind) before even thinking about getting another. We seem to be heading towards creating an entire starting 11 of centre backs. Can't we make up our mind about who is good and who needs to go. Also, we already have a great back...

Would like to see how Chelsea manage without him if he leaves. Has been bailing them out for so long. Mourinho's entire ultra defensive system worked because he always managed to make something happen for them and then they sat and defended.
