I know I'll probably be slaughtered for this but I thought Pogba was yet again poor overall.

I was going to wait until tomorrow to mention it.

As TheDoc said, he looked knackered in the second half.

Brilliant performance from us today. Thought Pogba was very good and disciplined, Herrera was excellent, Rashford, Young was disciplined and Rojo and Bailly were excellent.

Chelsea were a shambles though. Lots of stray passes, no creativity and looked unable to create with Hazard shackled.

Pints,a win,more pints.

Chelsea only 4 ahead of Spurs now with 6 to play. Would love if they collapsed but their run-in is handy compared to Spurs.

I have enjoyed us so much more against big teams, barring Chelsea at SB, because actual football happens. I have been bored to tears watching us pelt crosses in against organised 10 man defences this year

****ing love beating that lot.

love it love it love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The manager got it tactically perfect today, which bears repeating even if some people will forget all about it next time we don't take our chances.

Interesting that Conte didn't seem to have any answer to those tactics, considering they were the same ones used in the cup game and only unsuccessful then because of a red card, he really should have expected similar again or at least had some contingency.

Conte fantastically honest in his interview.

Horrible on the line but very interesting to listen to.

That was a beautiful game, I really wasn't expecting that. Well done to all involved.

Only yesterday in here, Ander Herrera was alright for now, but upgradable. Delighted for him today, plus it might cool some of that hot air for a bit.

Utd deserved the win. Wanted it more, had more desire, played better.

Blamed himself for not having the team motivated properly.


Refreshing really.

Is top 4 gone guys?? Looking at the table we're 4 points behind City with a game in hand. Get past Burnley next Sunday, the Manchester Derby will be massive!! A win would see us finally get in that top 4 if I'm reading things right

Real Madrid should buy Ander Herrera. That way they'll get both him and Hazard.

We have been here before though, and Burnley away will be a big, big test.

We really need to take each match as a big game from here on in, and can't look past Burnley, as a win there will be far from easy imo.

scudzilla

Delighted with the performance today, but even at 2-0 up i was expecting us to somehow fcuk it up and draw 1-1

Great birthday present to beat them

Really not bothered by a "weaker" team today tbh. We were going to get a bad result either way, so not bothered about focusing on EL. Chelsea are champions this season, so its a dead match to me.

I hope you won't mind Lord but bahahahahaahahahhahahahahahahahha

Couldn't agree with this any more. Absolute nail on the head. A bunch of guys and girls brought up under fergie and success and now can't handle things being a wee bit crap. Their lucky the weren't around in the 80's when Liverpool won it all and rubbed our noses in it every single day. And everyone of them loves pointing out the faults and wrong that happens but never suggests any way off improving the situation at all. They are the snapchat generation who want instant gratification and can't handle being told no....

FFS we've gone through Moyes and LVG and Jose has had to get rid of almost everything they did. He doesn't have a magic wand and the ability to get everything done in one season. Most of their signings are not in his plans and he's started from scratch. He's installed a new standard at the club and it will take a season to 18 months or more to get everything right. For christ sake have some bloody patience. Yes he's made mistakes but would you ever highlight the bloody good things he's done...

Everyone clambered for Pep for years and look at the job he's done at city, outspent us, brought in more players, but can't settle on his team and players. Given that he started in a stronger position anyways he's struggles show he'd never have handled the United job.

I saw no games in the PL of United playing Chelsea this season, away for both.
btw I had this feeling for a couple of weeks that Spurs win the league this year.
They have been the best team for many weeks now.

Good result today, I don't care how we played whether it was good, bad or indifferent, 2-0 to United is all that matters.

Bona Pasqua.

Starts off as expected following results elsewhere, a few little peckers were all aquiver hoping for a Chelsea win.

After rashers scored it was grand and the usual suspects who would have been all over it if Chelsea scored were unsurprisingly absent.

Nice to see Fellaini get the credit he deserves for his performance on here.
I find in some discussion boards/media outlets he's ignored when he plays well(has generally been playing well the past month or 2) but as soon as he has a poor game the vultures are out to get him saying he's not a Utd player and never will be, blah blah blah!!!

Herrera was phenomenal, Rashford was like Suarez from a few years back for Lpool, pace power and aggression, looks to have serious strength for a lad so slightly built.

Now to keep this up and ensure it's not a once off.

I'm drunk so bear with me. I bought a naggin of powers after the game so happy am I.

First thing in my mind was straight after the game thinking we just beat the league leaders in the run in and it meant fk all really. I hate being out of the title race..

Then I copped myself on and celebrated.

Best performance since fergie left maybe. We we're absolutely brilliant. Made a superb side look poor. The back four were top class. Special mention for Rojo and darmian. Awesome.

Ander was awesome. Such a disciplined performance. The goal was the icing on the cake.

Lingard and especially Rashford were both top top drawer. Bullied one of the best defences in the league.

That man Jose was so brave putting pace in the front ahead of Ibra. Deserved plaudits tonight. That was a fergie performance and there's no higher praise.

I only wish it meant more.

Big time. Fellaini was so important today.

Tbf, in the main Fell gets credit in here when warranted (I don't read other soccer forums) and most people would have a fairly balanced opinion of him.

Stupid fckuing draws.

Thinking about where United would be in the table had they won those drawn games does sting a bit.

That's the annoying thing. A huge win against Chelsea and it really means fk. All.

I understand what you mean here but to make it more bearable you need to know that if you go back and change one result then every action from that moment on is different so you don't know what might have happened. We might be worse off than we are now.

scudzilla

If Zlatan didn't sign a new contract and went off to China/MLS i'd be quite happy, thanks for the memories, see ya

I know he's scored a load this season but i really don't think he suits us, holds the play up way too much, give Rashers a full go and whoever we bring in

Jayop

Jayop wrote: »

I don't agree

Confindance and showing a winning mentality against the team that's supposedly league champions

It's hugely important for all the team and beating Chelsea a huge rival convincingly is a delight

Fair play to the team and Jose

It shows this club are going in the right direction

Lord TSC

Gotta agree with Mick. Thats the sort of win that can give a massive morale boost.

Chelsea are the best team in the league, since they are top of the league. And we utterly nullifed them today, and with what a lot of people were considering a very weak team. And extended an unbeaten streak, that may be lackluster, but I'd be willing to bet any team in the league would like to say they were unbeaten.

Today is proof that if we can build properly on the foundations established this year, we should really move on big time next year...

By my count if we had won even half of them we would be 3 points off Chelsea.

DARK-KNIGHT

Great result

In Jose I truly trust

He has proven the doubters wrong imo he is very capable of being the man to get us back to greatness
