    Started the game quite well. Looked pretty decent for the first 10 minutes. After that, we went back to our usual selves. Sat back, didnt play at any tempo, held on to the ball too long, and ulitmately allowed Palace into the game.

    Second half we need to try and play like we did in the first 10 mins of the first half for the whole of the second.

    If not, we'll be in trouble. Very lucky to be going in level.
     
    On the basis of what do we start Lukaku ? Haven't all our recent goals (except the penalty he won vs City thanks to Ederson's madness) involved all the other players except him ? He offers nothing, zero movement, technically abysmal.
     
    Started quite brightly then just seemed to run out of ideas.
    Lukaku, good early knock down and a couple of decent touches, then nothing.
    Pogba, totally anonymous.
    Lingard looks the most likely to do something.
    Poor after a decent 1st 10.
     
    The theroy that supporting United is like having a tortoise as a pet is getting more true by the week. Just a dull football side.

    Lukaku. Did anyone spot one positive contribution in that first half? He’s absolutely wank.

    Most top players, when in a goal scoring or form slump, you can see how they add something to the team or show glimpses of how they will get back into form. But this fraud? Can’t see it. Awful. Get him off.

    In all fairness he had as much as 2 good moments! He brought down that hoofball for Lingard and there was that other one I've unfortunately forgot all about it.
     
    Well, I was always in the Mourinho camp - delighted when he was appointed. Have always said 'give him more time'. For me, the time is now up.

    I don't see any forward progress, or any change of plan. People watch football to escape from their world, the lives they have led all week - watching the team atm is a chore.

    He kisses Mourinho’s ass that’s why he starts. Not on merit, but ass kissing.
     
    On the other note I won't mind if we cough 50m to try to re-get Zaha. He'll solve almost 95% of our right flank problems.

    I don't disagree, but his lay-offs have been quite good today. Won some headers which isn't that common when it's in the mixer. It's not that he's been that bad, for what he brings, it's the collective impact of lining up with him.

    The immobility of Matic in midfield means Pogba can't attack freely, so we're even dragged farther back and struggling to move forward.

    Awful, awful decision. I don't know what Matic needs to do before he got dropped.

    We need Fred/Herrera on the pitch to put us on the front foot but he'll take Lingard or Mata off and put Fellaini on. watch..
     
    The club will sack the manager when we are out of top four officially. They are stupid enough not to see we are out already with these performances and shit football. And again club has to overpay players and dig deep for a new manager and will be their priority to get back again to C.L. It's Moyes all over again same mistakes. Same stupid decision.
     
    Decent first 10-15 minutes but everything else after that has been crap. Martial having an off day so far and Pogba not involved enought. Our best wing player has been Darmian ffs.

    Lukaku still completely useless, feels like we're playing with 10 men.

    Great call by the linesman, really saved our asses there.

    We've got that sell-on clause. We'd get him cheaper than everyone else.
     
    So boring. I have always supported Jose but it’s clear that it’s best for both parties to just move on. Also some of our players are disgraceful. I can’t stand half of this squad.

    It used to be when united where on I was glued to the screen, these days I am looking at my phone, maybe have something to eat, start talking to someone, all sorts of random shit when the games are on, I am just losing interest.

    This is a sign for me that it’s done. I had the same feeling watch Van gaal teams at the end of his stint.
     
    Absolutely no aggression or urgency in our game, it’s missing from back to front. So, so boring to watch.

    Mourinho is doing a horrible job.
     
    Not sure what A is and fed up of watching performances like that. Surely will now resort to plan B and hoof it to Fellaini.

    This is the final year of Moyes’ contract and the level of this team and way it plays it is similar to his Everton side. It’s laughable this is the best Mourinho can come up with.

    What is Jose even trying to achieve? What does he visualise when he puts those 11 players out there and gives them their instructions? What is 'end game' for him?

    Fellaini will be on soon and we'll be launching hoofballs to him for 30mins.

    We've been playing hoofball all game anyway so may as well have someone capable of winning a header I guess

    Only one header, there was another easy lay off he fecked up completely inside the box

    Agree. Absolutely sick of seeing Matic on the field.

    He's the core of our defensive problems too.
     
    Players and the manager not good enough. What do we excel at as a team right now?

    Such uninspiring stuff from us.
     
    My God this HT commentator has an accent so thick I swear you could cut it with a knife!
