Take young and Valencia off pit kagawa and Hernandez on. I would also bring Fletcher on soon for Jones.

Doing a Simpsons voiceover later.
HAVE we created any chances...really? Where we can say that someone should have scored? Welbeck was off balance with his shot, but otherwise...?
And Moyes fecks up yet again by playing Ashley Young.
I dread to think where we would be in the table without Januzaj - it is embarrassing how much we have depended on him this season.
What the feck is Evans doing for the first? Turning his back on it while Carrick throws himself at it. Centre half, feck me.
Everyone seems to think we're playing really well, which in a certain way we are, but consistent attacking down the flanks relying on whacking balls into the box for Januzaj and Welbeck to compete with Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic etc isn't actually good, it's fecking barmy. We've actually only created two chances, one from a defensive mistake (Welbeck) and one from playing one two football through the middle (Young)
Relying on an 18 year old who was unheard of 6 months ago to provide all our spark isn't actually a good thing.

Same old story, not converting possession into chances/goals.
As things stand, we're six points off 4th place with a lot of points left to play for. The Scousers face off next weekend and we have still to play both another time as well.
For people to say a loss here will kill our hopes of Champions League football next year is downright bizarre.

Ha ha, the worst poster on the forum appears, telling lies again, just preparing his "Kagawa would have won it for us" rant. At least the fanboys will be clearing off soon enough...
We've done okay but for me the game has been lost on the choice of Young ahead of Fletcher, all Januzaj's good work has been down the left, where Young is supposed to be, so what the feck is the point of him?.
Both Chelsea's goals were scored coming from the right with Young ball watching, apparently he's there to assist Evra defensively, well good fecking work. You don't catch Fletcher ball watching much.

Your opinion is valid, the problem is the time you have decided to bring it to the fore is the moment when United aren't doing as well, after previously not being interested in telling anyone online your opinion. Why don't you keep it to the pubs, mate?
Chicha on at half-time(although I don't know who should come out) and we'll have a chance to get back.. The 1st goal is 1/1 000 000 chance to go in and it's really unbelievable to see that fly past De Gea.
Welbeck's positioning from corners is interesting. He seems to have the same mindset as I did when it came to fielding when playing cricket during PE. "Where is the ball not likely to go? I'll stand there."
I made this point pre-game people didn't wanna know.
Defensive wingers won't compensate for our defensive disorganisation.
By having effective players in the final third. Unlike us.
feck this game. feck this season. Enough empty talks about us having a 100m or so war chest for new signings.
Doesn't matter what team he picks, he will always get criticised no matter what he does.
We haven't been bad at all, but haven't put away the chances when they have arrived, having 2 of the best forwards in the world out will do that to you.
Rafael. fecking hell what is he doing for the second, back to the play running back to his position while the ball is in the box. That's the worst thing I've ever seen.
I'm gonna get out my season review DVDs from 1993 to 2013 and watch some decent football instead.
Yeah, Liverpool dropping points at least gave us a bit of "leeway" and we knew there was every chance we'd lose today. Hopefully West Brom will also get something from Everton tomorrow night. There's a long way to go yet and we still have our two World Class strikers to come back.
Rooney and RvP do miss chances sometimes. You can't take it for granted that they would have scored, we haven't created as much as it to be beyond any doubt. We should have scored at least once but we could be in this position with RvP and Rooney as well. Though I believe we would have created more with them on the pitch.
Some of the comments are people watching a different game. We've done relatively well given our situation. Had we somehow fluked a first goal (like they did) it'd be a different story. Excellent start to the match but we've faded. Only natural that a team that's in confidence crisis drops a little after conceding against the run of play against a top side.
Jones looks unready but what was Moyes supposed to do - I've got to say even then he's a better option than Cleverley. At most I can see him sub off Young for Kagawa...

Agh, ok.
I don't get how people can still be angry with this team after such a performance. We played well so far. The result sucks but we showed some good football and I feel the team is going in the right direction.
We never defend well when Evans plays. He's all over the show. If Smalling had played today we wouldn't be loosing.
Very harsh Scoreline but Why the feck are we playing our main creative outlet as The striker and our actual striker as an attacking mid? Makes no sense at all.
Our defending has been very poor. They look like scoring whenever they counter. We've had chances but you gotta take them in a match like this.
Cant see us coming back but lets have a go atleast. The left side is porous as feck anyways, putting januzaj out There wont make it any worse.

Where's the guarantee that when other 4th place contenders mess up, that we will take advantage? Especially with a manager that seems incapable of selecting the most suitable team.
Glenn Hoddle just went full retard.
Yea, that's another thing. Rafael's getting outplayed like a kid today. Valencia is useless in helping him out too.
We are no way clinical enough to be making the mistakes we have been. Take young off for Hernandez.
Oh shut the feck up Hoddle. It's a penalty and it'd of been a penalty 60 years ago too. No contact sport? So players can just start smashing others from behind?
We've had our moments in the game, but nothing that indicates we deserve to be leading. Our attack apart from Januzaj has been diabolical. No one is making runs, no one is present in the box. Cross after cross, hoof after hoof.
Chelsea haven't been excellent either, but they are playing conservatively. Ivanovic and Cesar are staying back to assist with our wing play, and their strategy is to punish our mistakes, which they have done ruthlessly. They don't need to be excellent to defeat us.
Dowd is an idiot.

Indeed we did defend very well you clown.
That was a clear pen, didn't see it during the game.
if Moyes doesn't make changes at halftime we are getting nothing from this match.
It's the near post position that RVP normally takes, he made a clearance from a corner in this very match thereSurprise, surprise. Posters that haven't posted in years finally spring to the surface to criticise.
They've done exactly what we used to do against Arsenal under Fergie. Let us have the ball in midfield and hit us on the counter.
It helps that Oscar has contributed more to a united attack than Ashley Young has right enough. Adnan has pretty much been our only attacking threat.
I think the thing this really highlights is how we need to change, we're playing the ball well and intensity is there but Young/Valencia against good European teams simply won't work. They may produce on occassion but more often than not we'll see posession and endeavour with no end product. I really want to see Moyes start to change this... we either need to play Kagawa into form in the right position (Januzaj coming from the left) or buy that player that will take us from midfield to the final third and create chances.
Hope Europe isn't watching because this is the blueprint for beating us reasonably comfortably. Which is a shame because there's a lot of young players playing really well there.
Edit: Move Jones to CB and play him when he's fit. Darren Flectcher please!

We keep dropping points whereas the teams above us keep winning, and our record against teams above and around us is shocking. How can you honestly think CL football looks like a possibility with the way things are going? We'll be lucky to get Europa at this rate.
David Luiz is a ridiculous footballer.
Don't blame you. They won't actually bring one out this year, will they?
Well, he did take his standing foot away before Danny could even get the shot off. Clear penalty in my book.
