All on the manager. Teams with worse players than us have an identity and show more passion.

Unacceptable. Clueless at what can be done to get us back. We'll have serious problems if don't make the top 4 this season.

Jose stops us from winning at Stamford Bridge, again.

Time for the manager to drop some underperforming players

Yeah that wasn't very good to say the least. 4-0 hurts.

Are you LvG in disguise. Embarrassing. City will be rubbing their hands at the chance of breaking their run without a win against this United team.
LVG wouldn't lose 4-0 to Chelsea. He'd lose 4-0 to MK Dons and at least get a draw against Chelsea!

Wow, that was something else.

Special note for the Chelsea fans dancing around at the end.

Small-time much.

That top four that Jose said should never be our goal as a club.... We won't get even that this season.

7th place at best

I can't take this anymore. Bring Fergie back. This is devastating defeat.

Is there any way to vote for the travelling fans as the Man of the Match? Because no one deserves to be MOTM, but still the fans showed great support.

It's not good. Dark times.

Honestly, it looked more promising under Van Gaal.

We have some real poor players and yet our new manager keeps playing them. We have little, to no interchange up front with any effective attacking up front. We don't look like scoring and we aren't tight at the back either.

Amazingly, we're only 6 points off the top.

Jose's career either dies here and it begins again with the decisions he must make now. Big changes. I don't have much faith he can do it.

That was torture and simply unacceptable all round. Players and management.. all have a target on their backs today. Was worried about this coming. We're not producing anywhere near enough quality for the players we've got.

I don't know if its comforting to think that Chelsea didn't play that well and the scoreline flattered them.

Or if the fact that we managed to be so shit that a team put 4 past us without playing well makes it worse.

I think its the latter.

Appalling. To a man... Just appalling. The defending was an absolute joke. Smalling and Blind need to have a look at themselves... it's just keeps happening with these two.

That 4th goal is one of the worst goals we've conceded in a fair while... and there's been some stinkers.

Great effort lads. Very unlucky. Abramovic is a cheat. Pitch is not regulation size. Goals are too small at one end.

We are pretty poor in defense, midfield, and attack. Having a world class keeper is somewhat pointless if you can't defend.

Is Mourinho now a dinosaur and are younger and better managers taking over?

He has not yet disproven that last season at Chelsea was an incident.

We were beaten after 30 seconds. Heads visibly went. We created chances but lost the composure to take them. Mentally gone within a minute. Shameful.

Once the third goal went in our players threw in the towel. They weren't having any of it. Look at how Kante walked through our midfield for 4-0. Nobody wanted any of it. They just wanted the final whistle so they could get off the pitch.

Incredible to see such low morale when we are only six points off the top. We really have lost our winning mentality.

Top 4 looking proper bleak at the moment. There's at least 4 teams who are considerably better at the moment.

The performance was embarrassing. Mata and Martial on the bench while Lingard and Fellaini play is terrible. Smalling with the worst performance of all time topping it off.

Negative team, and probably tactics backfired on us in a big way, I hope Mourinho will realise playing Fellani and Lingard in big games isn't a good Idea.

Surprised he didn't change things earlier......Anyway on the the next game, hoping for a big response. Luckily its a big one.

Apparently you can't give a 0 in match ratings.

What was that reaction from the players at full time? None of them seemed to take this crushing loss at heart, almost as if it didn't matter to them. Too many off them were just buddy-buddy with the Chelsea players, and not one of them seemed to show any pain after that loss.

I wonder if the club will do something after this match because I can't believe how relaxed our players looked at full time.

Our manager was totally let down by the players today.

Honestly did not see that coming, about as bad a result as we've had post Fergie with a much better manager and players involved

Worrying

Have to rotate more on Thursday nights... We have a big squad and need to use it.

The likes of schnderlin, TFM, Depay, could have started on Thursday and we would have had fresh legs for today. But thats not a excuse for the inept performance.
