First defeat since 11 January, United drop to fourth and will be fifth if Southampton get a result against Liverpool tomorrow...

Well done Swansea. We are toothless... and we cant defend.

Played some of our best football of the season. Still lost. Shooting practice in training this week.

No way we deserved that, Swansea did feck all in the second half. Time to play with wingers and one striker.

Smash and grab.

Fell to pieces when they scored. Quite possibly the most frustrating result of the season because we actually attacked with some kind of tempo today.

Van Persie can feck off and never come back. Waste of space.

Send Van Gaal and Van Persie on a plane for Holland. Without return ticket, of course.

And ask the police to not allow them within a km of United team.

Absolutely appalling after we conceded. Did we even have one clear shot on target? Why do we love hoofing it to Fabianski?

Just play the diamond, Herrera in midfield, Rooney up top, attacking football, that's what everybody wanted but now we lost it will be something else.

Some nice football, would be nice if it could be accompanied by some threat going forward.

RvP needs to stop being picked. Forever.

When we dominate, we don't make it count away from home. Some good to watch stuff, no telling pass/attempts.

Our reaction to the goal hurts more than anything, we just gave up on trying to attack our way and start hoofing it, there was plenty of time left to go and play but we just gave up.

Played really well in parts. I blame Rooney, RVP, Fellaini and Shaw for that defeat. First two toothless as feck and need to be sold, the third just had a bad game.. his touch was shit all game and the latter was naive in certain defensive situations.

That was arguably one of our best performances of the season. We just had horrible luck at the end.

We can knock the ball around well but we're so awful at creating chances. Also our shooting all around is just appalling. How many saves did Fabianski actually have to make?

We'll be 5th tomorrow if Southampton win. And if liverpool win theyll be 2 pts behind us after being 13 behind in december. Anyone still wanna pull out the 1 loss in 19 games card?

Our form since December has been average. And with the games coming up next month and april, id be astonished if we got Cl football the way we're going.

One of the most frustrating games of the entire season, Swansea didnt even deserve a point today but somehow ended up with 3.

The football after the goal was an embarrassment to Manchester United. We did nothing but lump it up to Fellaini for the last 15 minutes. Before that, it wasn't bad.

Unbelievable... we keep playing dead weight. How does mate continue to sit on the bench while RvP and Fellaini start. Why cant we play our quality players?

-------------DDG--------------
Valencia--Jones--Rojo---Shaw
----Herrera-----Blind----------
ADM---------Mata-----Young
-----------Rooney----------

What is wrong with that?

Played better than we have in a long time (Preston aside) yet still lost.

Van Gaal is gutless not taking off Van Persie and Di Maria earlier. I can't remember the last time I thought to myself how lucky we are to have Van Gaal as a manager. We're not. If anything, we're unlucky.

Think our strikers have let us down again.
Van persie hasn't lost a bit of pace and can't blame his age for that performance. Another match where the player from 2 years back would have gotten a hat trick.
First goal wasn't defended well, 2nd was a bit of a sucker punch with the deflection you cant really blame anyone too much.

The fact this sack of shite have done the double over us is worthy of LGV sacking alone.

Top four, no chance.

Van Persie out

Chicharito in


Fellaini/Chicharito could be the new Heskey-Owen.

Really disappointed. They're not very good at all. Persisting to play with players irrespective of form will cost us top four.
