Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2017

That has to be a booking for Cahill.

United kept kicking Hazard. Deserved red for the player and the team.

Game plan out the window, defending deep now looks like the better option than the one selected.

Crazy to see all that money spent, the whole team set up to stop Chelsea but no player that can put fear in the opposition like Hazard does.

Ya,refs sometimes really dont help themselves

Herrera did himself no favours with his reaction to the yellow, screaming in the ref's face. Refs are people too (Kinda...) and if someone did that to me, I wouldn't think twice about sending him off when he gives me the chance to.

If only Fergie didn't cheap out on him.

S.M.B.

And it looked like hererra knew exactly what he was doing for his first yellow.

So Jones playing a game in midfield 4 years ago is why Jose doesn't play Carrick today? Its nothing to do with what Jose thinks of Carrick? Ok. Good lad.

Its working well isn't it?

It's called tactics. Jones can man mark carrick cant

United didn't keep kicking Hazard. Jones was getting tight to him and trying to unease him. Nothing wrong with that. An effective tactic with a player like him and something the likes of Keane in his day would've liked to see.

Very frustrating, we were doing alright.

Kerrydude1981

Big Dave could release a DVD of all his saves now at this stage

Unbelievable stuff

adox

That's second save from De Gea. Was like watching Schmeichel. A thing of beauty.

So I guess today you have decided not to be defensive midfielder Micheal Carricks biggest fan? How consistent of you.

jayo26

Ha jose looks so mellow on the touchline compaired to conte... If jose screamed in 4th officials face like that he would be in the stand.

jambofc

2nd yellow did he even make contact ffs
very soft yellow hazard is dropping at the slightest touch

then cahill pulls rashford down and no booking lol joke referring again :mad:

Scary to think where we potentially would be without him in the last 3+ seasons IMO

Pogba not up to much again this evening.

Ruud Gullitt. Great player but christ he's a numpty.

Funnily enough when I seen that it was Michael Oliver before the game I jokingly thought to myself "Well, we're already down to 10 men or 1-0 down"

He's reffed us 3 times this season and given a penalty against us every time. Watford, Everton, Liverpool. How can you warn Jones for multiple fouls but given Herrera two yellows with no warning for very similar fouls?

Eh? There was nothing wrong with the post. Carrick is a better midfielder but he can't carry a role like Jones. It's not different to what Park did against Pirlo except Hazard can lose his marker very easily.

It's like the rules are changed before the kick off or during the game. Now a player who is fouling doesn't matter, a player who is being fouled matters.

What??

Carrick and Jones are 2 completely different players.jones is there purely to man mark hazard.

adox

You fear it's going to get ugly now.

KH25

Ah well.

J. Marston

Keep it respectable.

Lord TSC

Attitude stinks from the players. No energy, no passion, no fight.

adox

I fear we will fold now. Haven't looked at it in the second half. Summed up by the goal.

GSPfan

Crossing fingers for no injuries.

Funny how Zlatans and Herreras red cards have contributed to this loss. No one to blame but themselves.

S.M.B.

Feels like we've only 9 men on the pitch.

Leroy42

The difference between Kante and Pogba.

Another game completely bypasses Pogba whilst Kante yet again makes a massive difference.

Simply no comparison and we totally lost out by wasting all that time chasing Pogba

BenK

Already seem resigned to defeat by the look of things.

Which goes back to my original point. Forget this man marking crap, if Jose trusted Carrick to perform his normal role in a big game like this he would be on the field cutting out the ball to Hazard. I think it shows us where Carrick is at, that instead of having him play that vital anchor role Jose would rather dredge up the old Phil Jones in midfield chestnut, a role he hasn't performed for over 4 years and never particularly excelled at in the first place.

Yeah but Pogba is only nearly 24

beno619

Hate to be that guy complaining about the double standards of the refs but Conte really gets away with murder.

Must be rage inducing for opposition managers.

GSPfan

Awwww. Love Rashford.

J. Marston

Fúck sake, Rashford.

adox

Luiz being Luiz.

bangkok

Nearly world class from rashford

secman

Rashers, great effort... great save unfortunately

deaddonkey15

We must be the worst team in the league when it comes to corners. May as well just be a goal kick.

wanderer100

Rash needs to take these chances

adox

No one marking Costa. Christ!

They literally have no energy. Chelsea have had twice the time to recover and an extra man.

And throw ins as well. It's just giving the ball back to the opposition.

wanderer100

We're getting mugged off with Chelsea's passing

adox

Ha Costa what an embarrassment.

S.M.B.

Pogba sulking when he loses the ball on the edge of the box while play carries on. That's not good to see.

J. Marston

Pogba could not be arsed.

Dwells on the ball far too long when he regains control, its been going on all season. Flaw in his game he needs to sort out

Rayne Wooney

Starting to feel we've made a big mistake with Pogba to be honest

adox

Mata on for Pogba if it's still only one with 15-20 to go.
