If United can grab a goal early then there is every chance to salvage something. Moyes needs to be bold though, if it isn't looking likely in the first 10 minutes then make some changes.....get Giggs and Kagawa on to get the best out of Januzaj. Hernandez is also an option because you can guarantee any lose ball in the box will be buried.

No we haven't. Welbeck had a half chance, in which he was arguably fouled, that's it.
Mid table quality. Mid table team.
Played well enough to suggest we could get a goal back in the second half.
We are going to win this.
Correct. He has clearly forgotten the two chances that Januzaj created but no-one was in the box at the end.
Edit: When a teammate is making his way towards the box with a ball, he needs support and no-one busted a gut to get to the ball.
I don't know why I even bother opening the match day threads any more. I thought that there might be a bit more positivity after the Swansea result, and it's not like we've been awful so far, in fact I think we've been the better team. But no. There are always some unbearable feckers that come out the woodwork.
To get two we need someone who can put the ball in the net. 8-0 it is.
Januzaj rolled the ball right across the box. Where Welbeck dragged Terry to the near post, we needed a mf to horse in at the back post.
2-3, if these players want anything from this season.
Young hasn't done much but some of you are hilariously naive if you think putting Kagawa on instead of him will instantly make it all better. Hernandez on for him would make much more sense but it's not like Young is the sole player who's been peripheral.
It's a killer that we've played so well but are in this position, but lets get real, were we ever getting anything from the Bridge?
Very unlucky so far, the second goal has probably killed the game and was poor defending. I'd like to see Kagawa come on for Young and move Jan to the left.
It is amazing how shit Tottenham's players looked until they got a new manager!
We were never getting anything from this game anyway. Our biggest bogey fixture with Mourinho never having lost at Stamford bridge in the league.
Mourinho's Chelsea are a team that reflect the managers confidence, if they don't play well overall they still get the important things right.
Praying for a miracle.
Jones is still out there, amazing.
No subs. Aggggggh!
Everybody is moaning when they actually expected us to lose. That is a bit strange. I am just depressed that we are so bad.
I desperately want Danny to make that leap forward in his game. But if RVP was here in form you'd expect him to put away those kind of balls. Dannys probably doing too much work outside the box in games.
Get Sir Bobby on.
We just need rebuilding, thats all.
Remember in 2004 when we lost to Chelsea, Mourinho's 1st ever game in charge? Well, in our lineup that day we had Howard, o'shea, LIAM feckING MILLER, djemba djemba, alan smith. And on the bench we had bellion
We ended up trophyless for 3 season - but then we signed rooney, ronaldo, carrick etc. The rest as they say was history.
Time to rebuild again.

I like Moyes, but for feck sake go back to Preston!!!
Defensively, yes. They've done very well going forward though. Our left side with both of them and Januzaj has been impressive. Just need more presence in the box.
And it would help if Evra and Young could defend too. Not sure where that myth about Young tracking back and defending came from.
Kagawa for Young and Giggs for Valencia, and play a narrow 4-3-3. Our wingers are futile and we need players that try to make things happen at least.
I'm not blaming the kids, it's the so called senior players who are seriously bad.
Is young move to the middle?
Cant even beat the first man, just feck off Young
Ashley Young with the signal there that he's going to put a shit ball in.
Why is Young taking the free kicks?
Yes, our crossing's been shit. It's a good thing our entire style of play isn't set up to rely on crossing th.....oh. On another day, hitting balls into areas players aren't, without trying to reach specific runs in the hope someone will just magically be there is called "pumping it into the box"
Shit delivery. Nice.
Is Hernandez on the bench? He likes scoring against these cnuts.
When he asks for the ball?
I told em Evans is crap and Rafael is a flake for years - they won't have it
Young's freekicks and corners are dreadful.
What a free kick!
Young should not be a United player, I did cringe a little when Moyes said before the game that he's very important for us.
Weren't Liverpool in for Ashley Young too??
We're 2 nil down away from home when really all 3 points are needed. Why are we still setup the same, get some attacking players on and go for it. We have nothing to lose, I'd rather see us go down 4 or 5 giving it a try.
3-0. Hat-trick, finished.
