Absolute siege now, Swansea have been ridiculously lucky not to concede some of these chances. Though the keeper was very unlucky with the penalty.

Strangely I think that's the first time I've been a bit unsure on VAR. I'm not sure how they can say thats a clear error.

Weird of Solskjaer to make no changes for 70 minutes when we’d been so utterly shite.
No attacking options on the bench, which in itself is a bit weird when he's been happy to play the likes of Greenwood at PSG.

Ref pulled that red out of his hole. Didn’t even vaguely resemble a red card challenge.

True, but at the same time its a case of interpretation, not an actual error. He's correctly seen a foul, he's just a bit of a **** ref.

True, but I thought Matic and Herrera were the two that clearly needed replaced. The results were sort of covering up the fact that our midfield still isn’t good enough.

Strange Greenwood was not on the bench, looked decent in his 2 cameos. Ole can take some blame for last few results, he has rushed back players who don't seem ready whatsoever.
Rashford desperately needs a break, the Liverpool game especially took a lot out of him.

Rashford definitely needs the rest, he was absolutely pap against Arsenal, and not much different tonight. But were in the 'every game is a cup final' stage far too early in the season, and Sanchez has been woeful limiting the attacking options. He might get a break once Lukaku is back, we've literally got no-one else to put in.

Sorta same can be said of rushing players back. Lingard and Martial are pretty key to how Ole wants to play, and there's a dearth of pace in the senior replacements. If we were comfortable in the CL places it'd be great to blood Gomes, Chong and Greenwood in the league more, but we can't really afford the risk. Pereira is slowly starting to look a bit more like a footballer, Jose's idea of turning him into a holding midfielder was unbelievable and looked to blow his confidence.

The awfulness of Mourinhos time has left us needing to be at absolute peak at the hardest time of the season, and I think the effort of dragging us back up under Ole is just starting to take its toll on the players. The international break can't come quick enough for some. I'm definitely expecting a few players to come down with a bout of the Giggs Hamstring this week.

Most of that is pretty spot on tbf, although would not have rushed Matic back so quickly with Scott McTominay playing so well. Heck even Fred and to a lesser extent Pereira might be a little miffed right now.

Martial has a really poor positional sense, stays wide when he should be getting in the box, always wanting an easy pass to feet. Hopefully someone coaches that out of him.

Hahaha what a defensive blunder there from Liverpool. DCYE must be loving it.
