I’ve been a massive fan of Jose and he was the manager I always wanted when Fergie left but if this is what we’re going to play like every week he can feck off.
That was as bad as the worst from Moyes.

Why was that dross Mikhitaryan on the pitch for so long? Should have brought Martial at HT.

Need to be more efficient in these games. It'll always happen that there's poor games, but ruthless finishing would've won us the game today.

It's fair that we're tired, have a few injures and players off form. But it's still possible to win.

An absolute load of Sh1te

This southampton team is supposed to be crap.

My thoughts with all those Kids who got United Tickets for Christmas presents off Santa. Imagine going to OT to watch that crap

Just rubbish. Our shape is appalling. Southampton looked superb, but we all know they're not.

Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result. I guess the "We are 2nd in the league" choir will need a new tune as well.

Terrible, especially in the second half. There are no leaders in this side. Bunch of fecking cowards comfortable earning their salaries knowing there is no threat to their positions in the side & they can continue putting in weak performances time and again.

The tactics too are poor. Why not try something different rather than 4-2-3-1 which doesn't work?!

We're progressively getting worse and if things don't change, it will be a struggle to finish top-4.

Continues a miserable run of form taking us right back to the lows of the Moyes and LVG years.

We're on the slide now. When it stops is anyone's guess, but we're absolutely not among the best 4 sides in the league on this form.

Our season so far, a sick cocktail of:

no identity or philosphy (i.e. to make the best of what we have)
poor technical players
overpaid players that are hard to move on
poor transfers (ala Miki) - bought for a system, bought based on form, etc?
weakling players with no mental (or it seems physical) strength - out jumped for every ball!
not enough leaders
freak Man City team

The lack of quality in this squad is astounding!!! Mkhi is a complete shambles. Mourinho needs to get some serious quality in asap

Failing to beat Liverpool Reserves at home. Sweet mother of God. Pathetic performances over the entire Christmas period

Terrible. We picked a poor-ish team and then proceeded to well below even their abilities.

No words. Pathetic display without idea, desire, plan. Some of the players are on championship level now.

But it is fair to say that we are robbed for penalty. Again. The fact that we are pathetic doesn't mean that refs must kick us when we are on the ground

This is the game that's made me wonder if Mourinho is the wrong man for the job.

Absolutely terrible Christmas period will be compounded at Goodison on Monday.

It was a good set of fixtures and we've completely bottled it. We're in a scrap for top four now which is ridiculous when you consider our start to the season.

Shocking and this squad is full of average.

The look on Fergies face toward the end said it all. Horrible performance, worst of the season for me.

So many players out of form or simply not caring, take your pick as to which.

Really worrying.

I hate this feeling - because it's the same one I had with Moyes and the LVG. I didn't want to feel it then and I don't want to feel it now. The gut wrenching realisation that the man in charge will never be able to build a team good enough to represent what Manchester United means to so many of us. Sorry Jose, not up to the job. Sigh

Shades of Moyes today.

Mou needs to change our offensive organization otherwise we are going to drop plenty of points in games like this one.

The most disappointing thing is we're not really able to put teams under pressure when we need a goal. We're clueless unless we score relatively early.

Poor formation, poor tactics and poor attitude all around. Why the feck we keep crossing when non of these players are good at headers.

The stoppage time infuriated me more than anything. Where was that urgency throughout the game?

This was vangaalesque. Utterly dire. The results are now catching up with the performances unfortunately.

Too many players in this team that don't care. Rashford is the worst of the lot. Been an absolute disgrace lately with his lack of effort.

Not sure we'll finish top 4 and if we don't it will be curtains for Jose and should be for Woodward as well.
