    Oh well. Jose has hopefully not lost the plot, like what happened at Chelsea, and this is minor hiccup.
     
    Just proves shit players are shit no matter the manager.
    This squad still needs a serious injection of quality, too many players wouldn't get a sniff at the top teams. People under the illusion we are going to win the league etc really need to get a grip, I will be over the moon if we get 3rd and maybe win a cup.
    Roll on Watford...

    Keep hearing this every year and every year we get a shiny new toy or two and nothing changes.
     
    We've got a long way to go despite having new players, new manager, and a new beginning. Same old shit.
    Fully expect Rooney to be back in the lineup at the weekend along with fuzzy head.

    Rojo, Memphis, Young, Darmian, and Mata can't see the exit door soon enough.
     
    Let's face it, right now we suck, and we are not going to get any calls our way the only way around this is to go out and use this supposed talent the players have and not let games be in a situation where a refs call can cost us points. Get your shit together, pound some goals in and then missed calls won't fecking matter.
     
    This game deserves an 2/10 rating its that bad but geez these players are lazy asses who dosnt give a shit. I think Mourinho needs show 1-2 to the reserve team for a month or so to tell them if you cant do better you dont get 1st team playing time.
     
    Scholes on United
    “With seven or eight changes, it was like a pre-season game and it turned out to be that way. I don’t know if Feyenoord deserved to win this game. United will still cruise through this group.”
     
    Jesus, some of you need to calm the feck down.

    Feyenoord parked the bus and then sucker punched us with a counter that should have been offside. This place was buzzing after the first three games and now it's all doom and gloom

    Knee jerk much?
     
    It's one thing to lose but not even being able to create a single decent play? Really poor.

    No they didn't, they controlled much of the game, they were better than us. We have played absolutely dreadful, utter shite.

    Which is basically what Scholes has said. There was always going to problem with playing players with no minutes. Also some of them will have a good idea that they are not really wanted.
     
    It's embarrassing, paying the money we do for players and performing like that. Awful game, awful negative tactics.

    I'd argue it was more kneejerk to be "buzzing" after scraping past terrible teams, including a last minute winner against fecking Hull, than it is to be annoyed when we get totally outplayed by City at our own patch than embarrassed in the Europa League by a shit Feyenoord team.
     
    So we've dug ourselves into a hole, now we have dig ourselves out. Still holding out for Xmas before passing any judgement over Jose and the squad. Thought Memphis looked OK and glad players like Rojo got game time. We move on to Watford.
     
    The problem for me is not the result but the lack of clear idea in our play. Maybe it is understandable to an extent why there is little chemistry as most of those who started the game play for the first time together.

    The changes don't bare as much relevance as some think they are all trained as a team from day 1 in pre season they know the play style, the tactics....

    Its just not possible to regress that much without there being some other factor in there in my opinion we either have half a team that needs selling next summer or Jose and that team just dont want it.
     
    What's the actual problem with us?
    Why is it okay for Mourinho to come in and have excuses made for him that he's "getting to know the team" when he's been the one unemployed for 6 months presumably watching football all day every weekend, while Guardiola has come in and hasn't had any need to "settle and get to know the team"? This isn't the 80's anymore.
    I know it's the beginning of the season but honestly this is extremely disappointing and I can't understand why this keeps happening. We had enough players to make the difference today and none were able to (Ibra, Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Mata).
    I don't care what tournament it is, two defeats in a row is absolutely pathetic for Manchester United. I can't quite put my finger on what the problem is but there's something that still stinks in this squad and they need a real shock to the system before it starts to infect the rest of the season yet again.
     
    Not even Feyenoord level at the moment. That was dire for a team aspiring to get back to the top of the PL. Never mind the CL, not on that performance. It's early days yes, fingers crossed and touch wood, patience, remember the hard years, don't be spoiled. It will come good. Cycles. Every club has cycles. Take Liverpool, their current cycle is only a few decades old. If we wait 30 years maybe we'll see United win a title. Don't fret!

    Nah. That performance today was shambolic and tepid. The team deserve to be called out on it and the fans deserve better.

    Every time a team parks the bus against us and we lose this is the immediate excuse. It's a terrible excuse. We want to win the Europe league and the Premier League, according to Jose. If we cannot beat a parked bus like all top teams can, then how can we expect to win anything? Also considering we play against parked busses constantly, surely we should be getting better at attacking against them?

    It was a shit performance.

    Four players was never enough for me. Yes we have improved but the day we are not relying on garbage like Rojo and Young, have players quicker than my mum and stop fitting square pegs in round holes we'll be laughing. At the moment though we are still pretty rubbish and will continue to be inconsistent. I would not be at surprised if we lose at Watford.

    Pogba has been a let down so far

    Imo he was played out of position. He's a no.8 not a no.10. Plus the pressure on him is enormous at the moment. I blame Jose for this disaster. But at the end of the day if you don't score early against these sides you won't have a comfortable night.
     
    We either played every out of form/low on confidence player we have or players who couldn't really be arsed with the Europa cup, and the odd complete dross player like Rojo. We should play a bunch of kids. That was far too like LVG...the lack of aggression or any desire was baffling.
     
    Not particularly happy. The team looked very sluggish.

    I don´t know who got it right, but it seemed to be a lot of misunderstanding. Both with the ball on where to run, and without the ball with pressing. I suspect this team is not very well drilled atm, something which hopefully can improve with practice.

    Of course the refs had a mare, once again we should have gotten 11v10. And the offside, 5yards from the linesman. Absolutely dreadful, what a joke.

    I think its primarily our offensive players that is to blame. All 6(!) could´ve done better. As well as Pogba, who made a lot of mistakes. Not sure I remember much from Schneiderlin, another invisible performance from him.
