Can't believe I'm sitting here thinking that Jose is already looking like an extension of LvG even quicker than he looked like an extension of Moyes.

Nah, he just needs to given fair time. We already know that he is a great coach.

Yeah my bad, TFM should be playing like Maldini in his prime doesn't matter if he's only 10 or 20.

Yeah. Cause I said that.

Verminator · Sep 21, 2016

I hope we don't play a false 9 in the second half.

Somethings happening on our right, they've realised they're getting space down it

Can we make the most of it? Our final product from wide has been awful these past few weeks. We get behind often but the final product is always disappointing.

TheReligion · Sep 21, 2016

Rojo dreadful again

SuperiorXI · Sep 21, 2016

That City loss has truly shattered this teams confidence to bits. The spine of this team is made of glass.

Jazz · Sep 21, 2016

We'll win somehow. But Jose needs to make some changes very soon so we can get on with winning.

Sandikan · Sep 21, 2016

we could probably have guessed how things would go before we started

Rojo always looks one of the most average on the pitch
Carrick is still our best bet in the deep lying playmaker position
Rooney looks absolutely abysmal up front
Schneiderlin looks the same whatever level of team he's against, namely average
Herrera always seems to be laying it off and charging off, but to what effect
Memphis, dire

Galactico · Sep 21, 2016

We can't blame the manager for anything here. We have a bunch of lightweights who are nowhere near Man Utd level. Rojo, Schneiderlin, Rooney mess up even the simple things. They should be the first ones out of the door if you ask me. If you look poor against a League 1 side AFTER losing your last three games and determined to put our season back on track, then you ARE poor. Feck off!

Should be played at the base of midfield.

I don't think he's physically capable of doing that either. It is a big shame but he is a 2nd tier player, basically a squad player. In an ideal world he wouldn't be starting at United.

This is turning out like Moyes real fast.

Except that Rashford is this season's Januzaj.

Never seen such poor football 4 games in a row and this is fecking Northampton ffs!

Except Rashford keeps scoring/performing in his second season, unlike Januzaj.

Our midfielder three have done well but the rest of the players look more or less on level with Northampton.

The problem they have as well is if Wayne is not staying up front, they have nobody to aim for.

That international break really came at the wrong time! I expect we'll smash Stoke, and then the same thing will happen again!

A serious lack of bottle [...] in this team.

I am not sure that they'll improve if they hit the bottle, but it a thought!

Read the comments before I saw the goal. Suffice to say I assumed rooney had volleyed it in to his own area and Rojo had placed it bottom right. Suffice to say tfm and blind were actually the main culprits.

Rojo's attempted clearance was disgusting.

LOL Yep.
Some are blaming Rooney and Mensah - but they all had a go.
I think Morgan passed the ball into the box, which forced Blind to make a "from behind" tackle, which led to the penalty.
I think 5 players were at fault for that one.

Add to that Smalling's sliced clearance and Rojos terrible clearing header. It was quite comical really!

He has been watching us full time since last Jan. he should have known how bad the likes of Rojo is.

How can one loss shatter their confidence? That is amazing. One loss when it's so early in the season. Should put that behind them and vow to whip their ass at the Empthiad. Then get on with thinking of the next game. Their too soft letting one defeat affect them in this way.

Mate, all work places have at least one of these types of people in their team.

It's a really art to be fair

togg · Sep 21, 2016

I think Jose's lack of animation on the sides reflects the state of shock at just how much work he has on his plate!

Ban · Sep 21, 2016

How irritating is Phil Neville's voice.

sunama · Sep 21, 2016

Jose must be thinking...."WTF! This team is cursed."

Come on United, please just give me some joy, this is torture

Exactly this.

Amazing that they're still 14/1 to win this in normal time.

At least you could say Depay is playing but the same can't be said about Young.

TFM just standing there waiting for no reason was horrific. Rojo could have done a lot better I know.

Tbf this is very much the second string team so using this as an example of the changes he needs to make is a bit illogical.

He may well make changes when we play a proper team against Leicester.

Has Blind been ill recently? You'd never exactly call him an imposing defender but he looks to have atrophied to a skinny weed.

Mourinho broke his confidence.

Scholesy · Sep 21, 2016

Its amazing that we never field a balanced team.

TFM at RB. Young at RW. 3 holding midfielders. Rooney anywhere. Mourinho doesn't know what he is doing.

This is a load of cobblers.

I don't see why not, we've been playing a false 10 for the last 4 years.

Bobcat · Sep 21, 2016

The way i see it, Rooney has 45 mins of football now to save his skin.

You're being way too generous.

And tbf, I think Herrera's playing style would work better, if some of the players around him moved a bit more.
