If you mean win, I think that's beyond us. Too many of our players are having mares. If I could change the whole team, I'd only leave Herrera and one or two others on.

But yes, we're not completely out of this yet if they don't score again.
I think that first goal totally threw us. A few choice words from the manager and some self belief is needed.

We have the right team on the pitch to do it imo.

Don't know why we didn't stick with the bulk of the team we set up with on Thursday.

They actually played as a team.

Ibra is isolated. Pogba and Fellaini don't work together. Blind isn't a full time defender, let alone left back!!!

It's going to be a stressful second half if something doesn't change.
Mourinho set the team up on Thursday to win, and today to draw. He needs to be more adventurous.

Terrible first half performances, the defence has been shocking, Blind and Smalling especially which is unusual for them but the goal after 30 seconds was the killer it knocked the players confidence the game really was as good as gone for me as the game plan went straight out of the window. If we get a goal back early in the second half you never know but at 3-0 it is all over though to be honest i doubt we will score at all today. Luiz should of been sent off but the Ref bottled it, if it was the other way round i bet Fellaini would of gone that is for sure. I just hope we don't get battered 4 or 5 nil.

What changes would you make with 3 subs?

Oh dear. Bailly hasn't been great, but I'd much rather have him on the pitch than Rojo...

Are we at the point yet where we can stop suggesting the season is young??

I ask this as so far this season Smalling hasn't reached the same standards of last year. Last year he showed us a level similar to that of O'Shea and Brown, when both were given runs in the team, he showed us the makings of a good player. The great players improve and then maintain that level, I've not seen anything from Smalling so far this year to suggest he's going to step up again. I would like him to, but it's fair to say I've got my reservations.

This is the kind of game that can end Mourinho, he has a habit of losing the plot when he has a big loss and splitting the squad and fans by blaming people or falling out with players, especially since Man Utd have been in poor form recently.

Fair enough, I can't quite see De Gea conceding three goals in a big game like this, but we could conceivably get beat.
Errrrr

Prediction: It will end somewhere between 5-0 and 3-3. The former seeming ore likely than the latter.

Just as well it isn't a 'must win' match!

When you have a squad that can't score goals at one end and leak like a sieve at the other I can only feel that ninety million could have been better spent.

Well, now it's 4-0 it's looking likely that it will be the former - or worse.

Shouldn't you be out celebrating your win in the Bigot Fest?

Quite frankly embarrassing. Mourinho must take blame for negative tactics and being out thought, but the players on the pitch - don't think anyone, not even De Gea today, can be happy with such a performance. No fight at all.

True, the faults still haven't been fixed. Kante should have been their first signing, they are in dire need of a holding midfielder and a centre-back.

Ibrahimovic is a good signing but they also lack the wide players to provide for him. Depay, Young or Lingard would struggle to get a game for West Brom or Stoke and Martial and Rahford are central players who aren't that natural out wide, certainly not guys who like to get crosses in which Zlatan needs.

Pogba also a good signing but he is useless unless they have a proper holding player so they can free him up to attack at will which he can't playing beside Fellaini and Herrera as Fellaini is too slow, clumsy and a liability defensively that he's always got to worry about him.
