Please score... please...

Liam O

Excellent pass from Jan

Courtois is some keeper.

DazMarz

What is with the shíte corners?! Seriously... Chelsea have had a good 6 or 7 corners and each one of them has been absolutely shíte...

Lord TSC

Why is Mata doing RVP's job as captain?

Barr

End to end stuff

Lord TSC

25 minutes and not losing

chupacabra

If Januzaj had a bit more pace he would be mighty

Headshot

Great ****ing tackle

Kylo Ren

Hazard needs to be shut down. He can make a run from the halfway line to the edge of a box so easily.

dubmick

Quality tackle

DazMarz

That was a cracking tackle from Shaw, in fairness...

Willian is losing possession far too easily, though. He was muscled off the ball there by, of all people, Juan Mata. You've got to be fúcking kidding me...

SherlockWatson

Mata tracking back well today. Played well so far.

Barely There

Man Utd may get out the cheque book and spunk another few hundred million.

They're so far away from Chelsea it's embarrassing.

sky88

Mata been doing a lot of work defensively today good to see

Doesn't look like he'll get the better of Ivanovic this evening.

tupac_healy

Great turn of pace from Shaw in that challenge looked as though Willian had gone!!

Barr

Great from Matic again

RobbingBandit

Chelsea keeper is awesome, can see why he is keeping Petr out at the moment.

Too Tough To Die

Chelsea are sorely, sorely missing Costa here. Drogba is just not at the races at all. 2 years ago, maybe. But not now. United's defence look way too composed and confident. With Costa playing, there'd be a real element of panic and "OH JESUS!".

grumpymunster

Hazard the only forward doing anything for us this is worrying

Oh no you didn't

What age is Courtois? Some keeper.

Surely as someone who watched him for a long time you should know that Mata is pretty strong.

He's 22

Are you even watching the game?

If so here's a tip, open your eyes.

He's pretty strong, but no way should Willian be losing that battle. In my own opinion, of course. :P

Demosthenese

Drogba ... incredible that Chelsea are relying on him with their money. He offers nothing anymore complete shadow of what he was. Chelsea haven't settled in yet. Fabregas is hiding.

DazMarz

On the basis of the evidence so far, the gulf in class might be fairly large (but perhaps not as large as some think), but the gulf in passion, fire and "being up for it" is firmly in favour of United at the moment. Chelsea have not had a single great chance in the opening 30-odd minutes. Fúck sake.

Kylo Ren

I'd name my first born Djemba Djemba for a Mata goal.

Lord TSC

Drogba lacking the speed to capitalise when he makes interceptions...

This is unfortunately what is happening. For a game of this magnitude, I'd have risked Costa even if he'd had his right leg amputated...

MagicIRL

RVP is playing the lone striker role very well so far.

FFS Willian

I am.

Chelsea dominating possession, creating chances, getting behind Utd regularly.

They should be a couple of goals up at this stage and will win comfortably I predict, by at least 2 goals.

Giving me a heart attack

Losing 2 strikers in 2 weeks is the reason bad luck no more

DazMarz

Sorry, what? How is that a free???

citytillidie

elbows at it again

Kylo Ren

Wtf are we doing losing possession in that area.

DazMarz

Decent delivery of this free, ffs... c'mon..

Chelsea haven't dominated, and both teams have got in behind and had good chances.

Open your eyes and take off the blinkers.

Lord TSC

Dowd not using the vanishing spray?

Sanity_Saviour

We're not going to win this game with Drogba starting
