We are fecking terrible, I could genuinely sell the whole team outside of Hojlund, Mainoo and Garnacho.

I've said this before. Bruno would've been a Spurs player in last few years of Fergie's era. No surprise we look closer to being a Spurs team than a Man United team.
Two non-penalties and an og. Palmer's must be one of the worst so-called hat-tricks ever.
Unbelievable Jeff. But totally believable Jeff.
trying not to be reactive regarding ETH but its getting harder and harder to back him. Putting on Rashford and Mc T to see out a game when they have consistently been found wanting could be the rock ETH perishes on. Also when utd got the game back to 2-2 on Chelsea's very next posession the UTD Midfield completely empties out!! Surely when we score someone on the bench should be telling to clowns on the pitch to relax for a minute and then go again! Then just after Chelsea equalise and they get a corner utd leave their most dangerous player with the freedom of London to have a hit!! The level of football IQ from the players to the coaching is in the gutter...... but they go again!!
So how were we really?
Does the team think it's golden goal when we lead and the game is over? Bloody seems like it.
haha. as if it wasn't already. have you seen our run in?
Did anyone ask where the 8 minutes of added time came from? Not a chance would any of the teams above United in the table lose when 3-2 ahead with 97 minutes played. That's on those players you simply can't trust them to close the game out.
As soon as I heard the commentary saying Chelsea hadn't lost at home when 2-0 ahead since 1999 I thought to myself thanks for the jinx..

Can't believe this.
I turned off with a couple minutes left as I wanted to play Dragons Dogma. Thought I'd have a quick browse on here only to find we lost.
feck this team man

Rashford my man of the match. Totally changed that game.
Ten Hag’s time !
Non penalties? They were both wrong side clumsy trips. You don't get to bring someone down just because you've tripped on your arse.
Congratulations to Chelsea on winning the tallest dwarf contest. Two poor teams that can't defend, but it made for an entertaining game at least.
I was resigned to a draw at that point. But a defeat…
Not even angry or surprised. If you play chaos football then this thing is bound to swing against you as much as it is for you.
Question is, has Ineos got the balls?
We have been shocking this season and dont deserve champions league. The concentration levels after we go ahead are pathetic. Game management is none existent. How many goals have we conceded straight after scoring.
Can someone describe the game in a nutshell?
I switched to Netflix at 85th minute of the game because I knew we'll draw or lose it.
We effectively went down to 10 men when Rashford came on, then took off our attacking threat by subbing Garnacho.
innit, McTominay bombing forward with 4 minutes left on the clock. WTF are we playing at? Just park the bus, shut up shop for a few minutes, run the clock down, play for throw ins and corners, pass it back to the goalie, play it into the spaces.
Totally criminal to leave Palmer unmarked for that corner and take a shot unchallenged.
You just cannot see any coaching of these players, they are just individuals playing in moments, there is no cohesion and that is on the manager. The manager has to make them into a team, and this is not a team.
Dalot is soo thick both of these last two goals are on him. Why show him outside, then why try to grab him if you are going down, he would have probably not scored anyway. Then trying to became oversmart by overplaying the ball in to Chelsea players where we should have conceded before the corner.
We have thick players as simple as that and manager who is just as dumb, try bringing a sub or somebody late in the game to close it. Should have brought on Amrabat instead of Mainoo as he was slowly disappearing and defensively need Casemiro with him.

Battle of the bottlejobs.
Both teams bottled the game. Unfortunately, United were the one who bottled it last.
For those who blame the ref or ETH, stop it! This is 100% on the players on the field. Spineless cowards. They looked already off with 3 points. How can you play the last minutes of a winning game so utter shite?
The cowards need to grow a backbone, otherwise this nonsense will never come good.

This 10 minutes worth of stoppage time is a joke. Not just saying it because we lost . But hated it at the world cup. Feels too American. I know there are some top fans in the states. But this feels like Fifa and the PL way of trying to get more North American fans into the sport. Creating dram all the time. But still no excuse for throwing that away. Think this club needs a total reset in the summer. About 15 players need axing and probably the manager. Biggest fear is Southgate gets the job and the same players get another chance club will really be in the mud then
Two teams that our complete car crashes, could have gone either way and was great entertainment. A win just would have glossed o we more inept management and a complete lack of any tactics. ETH may as well not even be here as the team looks completely disorganised and every single team is able to have attempt after attempt on our goal.
Yeah, tactics.
Sorry, but neither of those were penalties. Even the 2nd one, the VAR knew it wasn’t a penalty; there’s nothing in it.
I thought Gillet was a disgrace all night. The amount of times our players got brought down he carried on, but couldn’t wait to whistle for two soft penalties.

Jaysus Jeff…… will we beat the dippers.?
I hope so Son, I hope so. We havent shown ourselves capable. But Tomorrow……

Between Chelsea winning and us losing, Ratcliffe must be proper torn.
If he got rid of him tomorrow, who manages the team, one of his coaching staff?
Disagree about McTominay, thought he had a decent game when he came on, broke up a few of their attacks and tried to break forward when he could

Not even Sunday Pub League quality ffs
I already accepted a few weeks ago that we won't be in the CL next season, so I just try to enjoy the quality of the football and the excitement and atmosphere inside the stadium. It keeps my state of mind calm.
I enjoyed today's game tremendously, of course the end result is awful. We should have won, but it seems we can't see out tight games. We just collapse.
The new injuries are worrying though. We don't have defenders anymore.
Martinez, Varane, Evans, Lindelof... Who else did I miss?
The refs... the 8 minutes added time... Don't get me started.
I just don’t get this fecking team, I don’t get this fecking manager, how can you be 3-2 up with a couple of minutes to go then defend like idiots but let’s be honest we were shit from the get go then Chelsea just got shitter than us for a bit to let us back in.
Hag cannot manage games during play it’s just fecking chaos, what is he actually telling these fecking idiots to do or are they just idiots who can’t play football at the highest level and take instructions because surely know one’s coming up with this “style” of play in any sort of professional capacity?
I think I’m done with Ten Hag and I’ll be surprised if the Ineos fellas aren’t feeling the same.
Top 4,5, whatever! It’s gone

Five points dropped in a week due to the inability to see out a game. The mentality is in the fecking gutter.
They were soft, we wouldn't have got them.
Didn't watch the game.
What excites me about this team at the moment?
A few pretty good young player, but every team in the league can say the same.
ETH and a very unbalanced squad is a big problem. Good luck with that one INEOS.
Reading about soft penalties. Everyone here knows that not the reason we lost. Great teams don't lose every game because of the ref.
The lack of leaders on the pitch is killing this team.
