Terrible mentality with a lack of effort.

Would be a travesty if he isn't substituted
 
Yet another abominable performance.

He's the first player that needs replacing next year.
 
This is nothing new. He was the same at Dortmund. The only difference was he played in a well drilled cohesive attack. Our attack is far from cohesive and he's not the type to stand out on his own.
 
His usual performance minus the assist. And he is usually better defensively, but that's about it.
 
He plays like a talented 17 year old finding his way in the team for the first time, and still getting to grips with what is expected of a professional footballer.
 
Not just on him, Mourinho has United playing to not lose by defending. Mkhi is not very good at it, hence should not have started the game. Shackled, is the right word
 
Time for the bench. He has been terrible for about a month now it's becoming unbearable.
 
Problem wasn't that he was shackled, which he was, its that the few times he gets on the ball he makes the wrong decision.

Like when he received the ball in the middle from Martial, Martial makes a run out wide to get it back and it's only a matter of making a simple pass, instead he tries to floats one over to Ashley Young which ends up going straight to their fullback...

In these type of matches, where we set out to defend for 90 mins in an attempt to take the few chances we get, it's absolutely crucial that the few times our attacking players get the ball, they make the right decisions.

In that regard, Mickey was a fecking disaster today
 
He needs Pogba in the side, he's lost without him. He receives too many square balls with nowhere to go.
 
Not good enough, doesn't have the mentality.

Compare him against the #10's \ playmakers of our rivals - Eriksen, Coutinho, Silva, KDB, even Ozil.
 
This guy is utter dross. Invisible again. He's so weak physically. He's been playing like this the whole season, but at least came up with goals and assists before. I'd rather start Lingard over him in the big games. Needs to be come off the bench for a game or two.
 
He's been turning in the same performances over and over again. The thing is against crap teams we would attack over and over again so he got to have his stats padded, but the moment we came up against half decent teams like Soton or Pool that's denied to him.

Mourinho has to make the hard decision. He is his signing but there comes a point where his inclusion in the team is detrimental to our performances, not least because he kept better players out of the team.
 
We often take the piss out of Ozil's disappearing act in matches and lack of cohones, but Mkhi is actually worse.

Besides Ozil is much better than Mkhi when he is on his game, his ceiling is much higher.
