Martial is a better finisher and can hold the ball up better . What is the point in him

Martial missed a sitter v Leicester tbf..

Another one who thinks that they "had it made" too soon?

Becoming a bit of a habit with our young players tbh.

Of course we(Mou) are. Him being available means it is not necessary to come up with a game plan. Just pump the ball to him and play off the breaks, no need for ideas then. Must be furious that Lukaku is so gash as a target-man.

Feel for the lad. Other than run back, cover and support the fullback, clearly isn’t receiving one iota of coaching.

Those two utility players always to give 100% don't understand why so many on here want rid of.

The sitters we missed then were worse than anything today, too.

They showed fight and effort to get back level and at least get a point but we should have beaten that shite out of sight

A year and half in charge and we’re still just a side who either rely on a piece of individual quality or pump hopeful balls into the box
Not good enough

Jose needs to do more than just coach the defence as our attacking need something to work with other than sort it out amongst yourselves lads

Very disappointed with Lukaku in the 2nd half
Whether it worked for them or not everyone else showed for the ball 2nd half except him
Expect much more from him and for the love of god get him out of our box when defending set pieces

We look a side going nowhere at the moment

And Zlat’s injury. The tactic fared well for him last season .

No surprise, at least the Mourinho disciples can spend the days ahead blaming everyone, and anything but the gobshite "coaching" the team.

This.

A shambles of a month from United. Squad full of lazy footballers under a manager who looks like he’d rather be elsewhere. No ideas on and off the pitch, clueless.

Let me just remind everyone, £80m for Lukaku. Sackable offence buying that lazy, lump.

Mourinho's done, he'll give you a brief bounce as long as you keep *****ing money on new players but whatever pixie dust he had he's used up, we don't look like a top side going forward, I look at other teams in the top 6 going forward and they look slick accomplished, we look like we make it up on the day, when it comes off it looks godlike, but when it doesn't it looks like we have for most of the time since the Liverpool game.

Real Madrid have won 3 of the 4 European Cups played since Mourinho f***ed off and have been through 2 coaches already and the coach that won two of the Champs league is under threat of losing his job, we're talking about giving Mourinho more money and still blaming our problems on the Scottish f***nut that was sacked 3 and half seasons ago.

The idea that Mourinho is going to stick around another 2 or 3 years and "sort this out" is f***ing wish fulfilment, f*** what you think of our players against some imagined historical standard, the question is how many Burnley players would get in our first choice 11? I'd take Defour as a squad player and that's about it, Mourinho should be doing a better job with what he has. .

Get shot and ask Pochettino, Jardim or Allegri if they genuinely want the job, Tell Jardim he can import his entire scouting and coaching staff. just for f***s sake don't just appoint someone who's been successful in the past but is available for nowt again.

He'll get to have at least 2 more transfer windows, which would make it a total of 5.

You never know, he might get it right...

yeah agree with that...he plays like a gifted 12 year old.

The new United. What a shame.

Hopefully we can drop this fallacy that winning the ‘best of the rest’ and ‘getting squad players some game time’ double is something to be applauded now. It didn’t serve it’s purpose of providing a springboard to better things so to persist with it now it just embarassing tbh.

We are what we are; poor to middling in a shit league.

Fair £#%&!s to Lingard he showed some bottle to drag us back into it. Lukaku with another AWOL performance. There is enough quality in that squad to comfortably beat Burnley, just too many hit and hopes and lack of purpose going forward. Same as the Leicester game.

Mou does it "because he's tall"

If we'd have had two top class wide players we'd have won that today.

Not once did any of our wide attackers get the ball to the by line or beat a full back 1v1.

Marcus Rashford couldn't deliver a £#%&!ing pizza from the left and Young wasn't all that much better at the other side.

Absolutely crying out for someone to take initiative and show a bit of class when it mattered, but they just resorted to the same old shit over and over again.

And that was just the last 10 mins.

I see the ref blew up bang on 5 mins stoppage time by the way.

Been the staple of his attacking plan for all of his career. McCarthy, Drogba, Milito, Benzema, Costa, Zlat, Lukaku. Big powerful men who allow direct play. Just happens to have the worst technical player of the lot now.

Head down, dick out and charge Marcus, if in doubt, @#%&! it as hard as you can

The amount of times we leave our wide players, Rashford, Mata, Young or Shaw, isolated against 2 or 3 defenders and expect them to do something is £#%&!ing infuriating.

Rojo is suspended.

Rather a relief more than anything.
