Still not good enough. We can't fecking score! A bright talent like Memphis is totally shot. We need a new manager asap.

Even when we do our best, it isn't happening. Atkinson is an idiot as well.

Really good performance, looked dull for about 40% of the match but good progress otherwise

Terrible finishing and a bit of bad luck cost us. Don't know when that killer instinct to take chances is going to come back

Hunger and aggression from the midfield and defense, brilliant to see. The team was brilliant in everything but finishing.

2nd half was more of the same. First 20 minutes were good though.

Well, at least we didn't lose.
So, LVG was given 2 games to prove himself.
1 loss. 1 draw.
1 point from 6.

I wonder if he will get more time.

I have no idea how we didn't score...can't really complain tbh. Unlucky. Should have a had at least one Penalty too.

Visible improvement. We just have to go through immens pain to score, but we can easily conceide a goal. Frustrating at times, but atleast the players showed energy and desire to go forward and to create chances. Unlucky with the post and woodwork and Rooney had the chance to secure the points.

Eight without a win but much better than the last few games. That tells us little apart from the obvious though: that Herrera, Schneiderlin and Schweinsteiger are better than Depay, Fellaini and Carrick. We all knew that anyway.

We still can't score. We had enough clear cut chances today but we don't have enough half-chances, we don't force enough errors from the opposition defence because we don't ask enough questions of them. That's the main problem.

Better but not good enough. Eight games without a win is enough reason to get the sack.

Poor from both teams really. We started off well but the match faded away. They were poor but still had a fair few chances.

I enjoyed that, for the first time in ages. Rooney man of the match though? What a fecking joke. I'm fed up of our only dangerous player being stuck out on the wing.

Much improved. We play like that, right tactics, right personnel, we will beat many teams. I'll take that performance over anything else this season bar Everton. At least we played up to potential. Rooney doesn't have the striker instinct anymore. Would love someone else leading the line but he even played well today for the most part.

At last, a bit of effort!

Still can't buy a goal. What's the average now, less than 1 per game?

Can't help but feel it's too little too late

Good first half. Limp second half. Chelsea are in a bigger mess than we are. This should have been a win. They were shite, but we never really went for them.

Played some good stuff in spells. Should have had two penalties. Meh.

Same old. We played better, than recently. But nothing we haven't seen before, passed well when opponent wasn't pressing.

Nice to see blind back at CB. Rooney played well, but still believe he is a second striker. Memphis confidence looks gone.

We were much better today and deserved to win.

Ref was dogshit all game. How can you not give that handball for Willian in the area.

Also, LOL at Rooney getting MOTM.

The sooner we accept that we are a mid table club, right through from our board, to our manager and coaching staff, and finally to our squad...the better off we will all be. I actually find it a bit easier to watch matches now that I have such modest expectations.

Big improvement. Chelsea didn't want to even try and win though.

I still feel the main problem is that we need 2 or 3 new attacking players.
