[El Zoido]

I hate watching us. We’re just a poor side, can’t pass, can’t cross, can’t take a set piece, bad at everything, just all around useless. Don’t really know what else to say. Same under Moyes, same under LVG, same under José. Club is poisoned in to horrible football and nothing ever changes. We need to spend a further £500m and replace 4 or 5 players with genuinely world class talent to stand a chance of competing for this league.

 

[girish]

Absolute wank performance from a group of average players.

 

[bosnian_red]

Standard Mourinho in big games. Goes for the draw and then has no clue on how to actually create chances. Spineless really. Remember when he used to be a big game manager? He's good at organizing defences and keeping teams consistent in games they should win, but it's looking a lot like he's a pussy when it comes to big games away from home. At least at home he knows he'd be hammered if he parked the bus so he does go for a win. Away he just tries to turn the game into a scrap with no attacking plan.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

Positives: We only lost by one goal

Negatives: Everything else

I’d rather we got tonked 4-0 again. Far less depressing than that bollocks.

 

[Cheesy]

Poor. In the Fergie era we were consistently beaten or drew at Stamford Bridge but you went into most games with a fair bit of hope. Heading into this home I'm not sure anyone really believed we'd do more than get a point, and such feelings were justified. Just lacking in ideas up front and did little to stop Chelsea.

 

[mu4c_20le]

Young did well for the last few games and suddenly Jose expects him to be like Robben or prime Giggs, he was our only attacking outlet for most of the match

 

[Revan]

Bad performance and again Mourinho is mostly to be blamed for it. His inability to coach a team to attack and his utter blindness when it comes to Mkhitaryan are all problems attributed solely to him.

His last eleven away matches against top 6 teams have been 6 losses and 5 draws (all of them being 0-0), and in 9 of these matches his team didn't even score. He is going for Moyes record and this is totally unacceptable.

 

[NinjaZombie]

Jose keeps subbing Mkhitaryan out. Maybe not start with him next time then? He's been utter shite.

 

[Varun]

Shit performance, shit result.

 

[VanGaalyTime]

Go...

My sentiments exactly. Lukaku has to go. Mkhi has to go. Both need to be replaced with players that understand football and the premier league.

 

[Dobba]

*Insert '[player name] was shit, as if they individually dragged 13 other 10/10 performances down' here*

 

[dichinero]

Can we play only small teams from now on please. Clueless stuff.

 

[Peyroteo]

This is what happens when you have a cowardly little manager who puts all his hopes on Pogba's shoulders.

How was he cowardly today? If anything it was the exact opposite, it showed why you need to park the bus in these kind of games. They won because they had better players than you

 

[DevilRed]

Disappointing. Cant really read much into today as its par for course that we play like shite at stamfordbeach.

Nonetheless, the crossing at the end was laughable. We dont have a single player that can take on a man and beat him.

The service to Lukaku was criminal and a joke. Mkhitaryan was invisible and shrinking. Jogging around like its a training session.

Rashford lacks the final ball.

I just hope we get rid of this 5 at the back nonsense and get Pogba back to play a 3 man midfield.

 

[AngliaRed]

Pathetic performance AGAIN!

Gutless, no creativity, scares to make a risky pass forward!

As for Miki, he should be dropped indefinitely!

Lukaku looked up for it but 3seconds behind everyone else!

 

[reddevil702]

At least it wasn't 4-0. Shit performance

 

[Nick.]

Our task is now to finish fourth ahead of Liverpool and Arsenal. Totally unacceptable with the money Mourinho has spent.

We may need to look at the next generation of managers sooner than I thought. Do not give this man the £3m a year raise he wants on his contract until we see where we are at the end of the season.

 

[MichaelRed]

You lot calling for Mourinho's head are an embarressment. He played 3 at the back to be more attacking, we didn't play one of those '3 at the back' teams that was actually 5. Young & Valencia were genuinely going for it, as was the whole team but it just shows that our squad isn't good enough to attack the big teams without Pogba in the midfield.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

The lack of creativity from midfield is horrendous. Martial and Rashford had to come all the way down to the halfway line to pick up the ball because the midfielders cannot deliver it to them in the attacking third.

 

[Randall Flagg]

No game plan when under pressure and very much no game plan when we went behind

Only time we had them under pressure was last few mins

The team and manager have not been good enough for over a month niw

 

[Billy Jim]

Absolutely terrible. The league is well over.

 

[Ultimate Grib]

Simply. Not. Good. Enough. Congratulations City!

 

[montpelier]

we'll do well enough for 2nd - 4th when Pogba gets back but that's our level, innit?

as was said, we lack some footballing ability a bit too much & 2-3 just aren't good enough

 

[stubie]

Negative Mourinho strikes again!

 

[Ramshock]

Jose needs to wake up thats just not good enough.

 

[Adam-Utd]

Players need a long hard look at themselves. Can’t even pass the ball 5 yards to eachother under pressure.

Awful performance

 

[Mystry]

We need a creative midfielder and an actual plan. Or lets just start by not starting Mkhi when he has been absolultely annoymous for several games now. Probably worst of all in that was how shite our defending was for their goal.

 

[Stringer]

Top performance. At this rate of improvement we might have a semi functioning attack by 2030.

 

[Kevin]

Can jose win the Pl again with his style of football? For me he has to prove that his last year at Chelsea was an anomaly. This archaic football will be criticized if he does not get the results and win the big trophies.

 

[mewnew11]

Our players are such pussies sometimes, sigh.

This .

 

[Cheesy]

My sentiments exactly. Lukaku has to go. Mkhi has to go. Both need to be replaced with players that understand football and the premier league.

Come on, this is silly.

 

[Djemba-Djemba]

2nd half was awful.

I thought matic was good.

Nobody else was.

Title is gone

 

[IrishRedDevil]

Feck that. I'm away to play COD

 

[villain]

At least that's the last game we play without Pogba

 

[salford_]

Absolute wank. A lesson taught. Mourinho didnt seem arsed

I have my feelings regarding Kante obvious, but how the feck do people seriously not think he is top drawer?

 

[#07]

Plenty on here should be happy: we played open and lost. That's what so many were complaining about after the draw at Anfield.

I'd have been happy for another boring 0-0. Oh well...

 

[AkaAkuma&]

Well last season we lost 3-0 at Stamford bridge, this season 1-0, so an improvement??

 

[GrandJury]

Absolutely shocking goal to concede

 

[Globule]

Have you ever known a big team to get caught on the ball in dangerous positions as much as we do?

 

[AshRK]

Lost to a morata goal, that is the last thing we needed. Good job

 

[Pyro19]

Mkhitaryan needs to be on the bench for the forseeable future.

Mourinho's a good defensive manager but equally bad at attacking set ups. We'll easily get Top 4 by tonking minnows but I don't expect any silverware this season.
