  Most bizarre thing about this result at the moment is Swansea haven't really played well at all.

  I can only think it is because he was worried we'd lose defensive cover for our back 4 but we were on top and would have controlled the rest of the game with Herrera on

  We've lost control since Herrera came off .... Why did Herrera come off? Baffling if not for an injury.

  Agree with that. I would've understand better taking Mata off for Fellaini if he wanted a tall outlet up front, but taking off our most dynamic CM was just weird.

  Let's remember we're missing Evans, Rafael, Shaw and playing Blackett and fecking Young in defence

  Click to expand...

  
  I'd argue Blackett has been our best defender so not sure that excuses it. Young was at fault for the 2nd goal though, and to a lesser extent perhaps the 1st.

  So Scholes' solution to our problems it to pass it out wide.. which I would actually consider to be our problem and what we should stop doing all the time.

  Jesus... why take off Herrera for Fell-si!t???
  
  The team had no shape?? Nani and Young both looked like they were playing Left Mid.
  
  Hummels, Rojo, Vidal and Di Maria are all needed!!!

  Man Utd lacks first XI quality. No matter how good you do in pre-season, no matter how 'potentially good' the young players look, when shit goes down you need genuine quality. Just look at Chelsea's and City's squad compared to Utd's squad, it is just criminal.

  Poor defending is costing us. We have just about been the better side.
  
  Not sure Fellaini for Herera was the best idea. We were doing well when pressing Swansea high up the pitch but that seemed to stop as soon as the less mobile Fellaini came on.
  
  Rooney has shown why he's captain. Looks like he's the only one capable of getting us something here.

  It seemed like a completely unneeded sub too. We were starting to play well. Fletcher's passings been off, so taking off the best passer in the midfield for a big lump seems....I dunno. Odd.
  
  Hope something works

  Does van Gaal really need to evaluate any further? We need midfielders and defenders, we've known that for years.

  Hopefully van Gaal just let Fellaini on to show Woodward and co that we need midfielders.
