Our attacking play has really gone to shit lately. Rashford is in the worst form of his career, Lukaku is doing absolutely nothing and not even winning headers anymore

Micki should be sold aswell, finished with him and his constant giving the ball away

We need a huge clearout at this club

Constantly at the STD clinic.
Select from the list of excuses below:

1- If it was any other season we'd be #1
2- Not much Mou can do with these players
3- Shit referee

We always have some excuse on here.

Jesse is our best player. He has the right mentality. For the rest of the bunch, its not much hope now at the moment. This is a team with no leaders.

Lukaku is providing assists to our opponent. He did it again today.
No excuses for today's performance.

Gutless, cowardly unintelligent squad of players. Some of you guys have deluded yourselves into thinking we’re not in the top four race and that top four is a sure thing. Well, we can throw all that out the window. How we won the Europa last year is anyone’s guess. Feck if we’re winning anything this season.

Rashford was absolutely woeful and then Mkhitaryan somehow managed to match his awfulness. Lingard was great though, as was Mata and (to a lesser extent) Matic.

We deserved the win but we're always going to suffer when we are carrying passengers in attack.

Every time we put a shit cross in and every time there goalkeeper would catch it and then fall to the ground to waste time. So annoying when keepers do that.
Even more annoying that we continue down the same route putting those shit crosses in. Clearly not working, so why do we keep doing it?

Don’t worry lads, once Pogba comes back from injury/suspension the attacking football will start.

Brain dead performances from most of the team today.

Pointless crossing against a team set up to just defend.

They have to be smarter than this and the current crop of attackers are not.

Lingard is the brightest spark we have, and thats not good enough.

Guys, but we’re a really good team. If you ignore how shit we play and look at our stats, we’re such a good team.

How many crosses?

No cohesion, no patterns(except crosses) and no intricate passing game in and around the box.
This isn't the players fault, but the management.

Moyes would've been proud.

Lingard FC. Boy just keeps popping up with goals. Wish some of our other players had his workrate.

Thought Young and Shaw were really good. Was good to see proper width and crosses coming in from Fullback position. We also played a lot better when Jose did a ‘F*%k this S*!t’ and threw the sink at it.

Not good enough, Rashford and Lukaku are dying to be dropped.
We need attackers in January, Lingard boss again though, take back everything I said about him.
Jose needs to sort it or he'll be gone.

Lingard proving his worth once again.

The sad thing is I never thought Lukaku would score and get us out of trouble, yet I always fancied Lingard to. That's pathetic from a striker who cost so much.

Someone needs to explain to me why we have a 90m player playing centre back whilst Matic is being our creative player?
That 2nd half performance by Pogba was shameful. He just walked round the pitch.

Sick of this shit.

I can’t believe how much it’s cost to assemble this squad.

Logging off before I get myself banned.

Enjoy the inquest, gimps.
That's the scary part.
Seriously need to get rid of soo many players, as has been said on here over and over and over again...

Does Lukaku know what a nearpost run is? Constantly stands behind a wall of defenders every game and then moans when nobody passes the ball to him

Zlatan was horrible and Lingard really should have started. Terrible result but I'm delighted for Lingard.

We did all we could, but when your attack consists of Lingard(yes I know he scored) , Rashford, Mkhi, and this version of Lukaku there's not much that can happen

Thank god for Jesse Lingard! Wasn’t the worst performance I’ve seen but it was still very subpar and a bad two points dropped.

Came back to salvage a draw at least. But shite performance. Predictably shite, given the lineup, but yeah. Rashford was awful, lukaku didn't do much, Rojo was trash. Individually young, lingard and Jones were good, Shaw, pogba, matic and Mata alright, Miki alright but a few shit moments, but there's no gameplan. Same shit as always. We aren't a good footballing side despite having good players. We just struggle to build up tempo with the ball, all we do is run around, try hard but lack the quality.

Ibra really can't cut it at this level anymore. No idea what the feck Mourinho see's at training to make him think otherwise.

Back to last season: drawing when we should win.

Our defending at set pieces is shocking. It’s getting exploited weekly now. Needs sorting ASAP.

The one plus point was Lingard. One of the few out there who kept his head.

Got to do better, 4 points dropped against Leicester and Burnley isn't good enough, we need to find our attacking identity and get better at it, if we're going to rely on crosses then make sure we're a damn site more dangerous from them than we are.

The CL is a glorified FA Cup set to music

We are supposed to be doing the chasing.

Shout-out to Lingard and Shaw.

Can't fault the team"s effort in the second half, but I have to question Jose when all we can do is cross and cross.

Hopefully this gets rectified in the summer.

It's pretty annoying. Now City have a lovely cushion so they can focus on the other competitions, they've got a very good chance of winning at least 2 trophies and going pretty far in the CL.
