5 minutes to go, hopefully we see something positive from the team to take into the break

 

[Yagami]

Honestly, it's quite a shame Fellaini isn't on the bench. The only time it looks like we have a clue is when José brings him on.

 

[Andersons Dietician]

Anyone criticizing our inability to create: Chelsea are rock solid, playing with essentially 9 men behind the ball. Any team in the world will struggle against this Chelsea side, who are essentially playing a 5-3-1-1 having given up the lead.

For all the criticism Jose gets around parking buses, Conte is 10x worse. Main difference is Hazard v Sanchez.

Jones couldn't have followed Conte's script more. Rashford is, sadly, only really useful against a deep line on the counter. And Chelsea now have no reason whatsoever to bring men ahead of the ball.

If we're unable to get back into this it's really just done to (another?) Phil Jones moment. Chelsea were creating nothing against us whatsoever.

Jose often deploys the 721 tho, so feel bad giving someone else stick for it. I believe the set response we have is tactical masterclass.

I think we’ll get back in to this game tho hopefully

 

[Loublaze]

The team lacks the character to pick themselves up.

They did it against City when 2-0 at the Etihad and against this same Chelsea team at OT

 

[yumtum]

Fellaini needs to come in and save the day and get that new fat paycheck.

 

[whatwha]

Yes. Why is that surprising, not an uncommon name

I guess. It's always surprising when someone uses their real name as a username though.

 

[Velvet Revolver]

we are static enough to create electricity!

 

[lawliet354]

The only difference between us and them is Hazard-quality player, I thought Sanchez could be that guy for us, but so far he hasn't shown anything like that

 

[ha_rooney]

Lukaku needs to come on. We have no presence up front.

 

[Gbenger]

Its on par with what he's generally offered since his signing

I agree. Now I hope he scores a goal to shut me up for a while.

 

[J-Stander]

If Lingard isn’t taken off first I’m giving up football: the lad is both a cnut and shit at football.

 

[Loublaze]

Every whistle is going against United ATM

 

[Beachryan]

Fellaini needs to come in and save the day and get that new fat paycheck.

From the stands?

 

[SadlerMUFC]

Defenders ahead of attackers? will never happen under Mourinho.

It doesn't help that we don't seem to have anyone playing on the right wing today. I think it's supposed to be Lingard but he is playing too narrow and often found on the left side of the field. Valencia is all by himself

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Honestly, it's quite a shame Fellaini isn't on the bench. The only time it looks like we have a clue is when José brings him on.

He isn't there because Lukaku is there I presume. Fellaini is the alternative big man.

 

[Freak]

Rashford useless. Sanchez useless. Lingard useless. Valencia useless.

 

[wolvored]

Have we had a shot on goal yet? Just been on the bog

 

[Mr. Meeseeks]

Let’s hope this game resembles the city game. That was a shambolic first half too..

 

[Andycoleno9]

Lingard and rashford out. Martial and lukaku in. This is awful

 

[Nate Dogg]

Mourimho proving dinasaurs are not extinct.

 

[Seanus]

Martial and Lukakau on for Rashford and Lingard at half time while we still have a chance

 

[Skills]

I have no idea what Jose is trying to achieve tactically

Keep it tight and knick one from a cross?

 

[MrMarcello]

The only difference between us and them is Hazard-quality player, I thought Sanchez could be that guy for us, but so far he hasn't shown anything like that

I agree although I would add the collective defending is allowing Hazard to make that difference so far.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

The team lacks the character to pick themselves up.

Past evidence disproves that. I think this team deserves criticism but this is undeserved.

 

[mitchmouse]

lingard has done nothing, rashford has been poor, pogba anonymous, herrera only interested in where hazard is, sanchez, well I've said it before we bought alexis' brother albert...

 

[red4ever 79]

Do you know what the worst thing is. The lads cant even go out there and win it for SAF.

 

[Rockets Redglare]

Matic is our best outfield player by a fair distance.

 

[Vilev]

With a brand of play like that, even if we win this FA Cup somehow, we aren't going anywhere. I mean we are basically a rich man's Stoke.
Our attacking play in non-existing. 40 minutes up, and United players in attack, Rash, Sanchez, Jesse, Pogba and everybody else all have created zero decent chances.

 

[Irrational.]

Why didn't Moses get booked there? It's the second time the fecker's impeded a United attack.

 

[FireballXL5]

Should be a yellow for Moses.

 

[Trophy Room]

Dont agree.We could sign Messi and we would still be coached in this dire positional rigid way. Manager is to blame

Our way of playing will never change under Jose. This won't improve but that does not mean we won't win trophies. Our performance today has been somewhat expected to be fair.

 

[redIndianDevil]

Alexis' worst game in the United shirt so far. Not the first but definitely the worst. Awful.

He was propped up at Arsenal by his entire team and his teammates knew how to pass decently, nothing of the sort here.

 

[Loublaze]

If Lingard isn’t taken off first I’m giving up football: the lad is both a cnut and shit at football.

There's always American football

 

[SadlerMUFC]

That's more like it....Young takes his man on and gets a free kick

 

[ha_rooney]

Sums it up from Rashford. Rubbish.

 

[Irrational.]

Keep Rashford off the set pieces.

 

[Dante]

They did it against City when 2-0 at the Etihad and against this same Chelsea team at OT

Mastic and Lukaku are the two leaders in the team, and we're currently missing 50% of them.

 

[Minimalist]

We’re a very dull side to watch.

 

[Kaos]

Wtf was Rashford trying for there?

 

[walkinhop]

Why do we pass to Valencia?

 

[red4ever 79]

I guess. It's always surprising when someone uses their real name as a username though.

Ye wanna change it @Damien is this possible?

 

[FireballXL5]

Oh dear, Rashford. wtf?

 

[Adisa]

We need a miracle to score.

 

[mav_9me]

the sooner the 4 clowns we have at the back go the better

A lot of it is on Jose. He picks Jones over Bailly, gives young a new contract.
