Chelsea v Manchester United FA Cup Match Thread k/o 19.45 BBC.

Obstruction. Why isn't that a yellow for Moses?

Mars Bar

Jaysus, United are really letting themselves down tonight. Tackles are bad, there's aggressive and then aggressive. Not stringing many passes together.

Nerdlingr

United lucky to still have ten on the pitch. Awful tackle by Valencia. And he got left off only a few mins earlier hacking down hazard .

Hank Scorpio

Hasn't been any really bad challenges, more so frustration than anything

SlickRic

Oliver, despite the sending off,.has no control over some of these Utd players. They're going to keep kicking and hacking, regardless.

Some Utd players aren't even bring subtle anymore.

Drumpot

Chelsea have played 5 games in last 6 weeks.

United have played 9 games and have been playing half the game a man down, with their star forward suspended..

I'd give them a bit of a pass in this game...

Ridiculous red and clear improvement from their defeat earlier in season. Ref defined this game with a terrible call that ruined the game and gifted it to Chelsea.

Ref very poor all game

The "sideways rule" according to Keown.

Standard for Jose team's when things don't go their way. Discipline just goes off into outer space.

Have you ever heard of two-footed challenges or are you just being deliberately obtuse as always?

Agent Coulson

Kante for the second game against utd in London this season has £90m in his pocket.

Ten men has made them lose the head a bit
Always up against it when Herrera was sent off

How is valencia still on the pitch. Two bad tackles and no yellow.

Could say the same for Costas simulation.

It's called consistency

Nerdlingr

Ref doing well keeping united at ten players.

Andersonisgod

Remember the bad old days of Real Madrid with Pepe and Ramos hacking wildly at anything that moves? That's Man Utd now.

sReq | uTeK

Well done young.
**** going forward worked tirelessly

Bridge93

Should be about 5-1 instead of 1-0 and as long as it is there's always a glimmer of a chance

Mars Bar

Ah that was your time to shine Pogba

GreNoLi

The game in general just doesn't do it for me anymore, wish this was the last season.

Korat

Be some craic if Utd equalised.

Well he didn't book de gea for simulation in the first half so he is fairly consistent in that regard.

antodeco

Pogba doesn't even do anything remotely good!

LOL.

Herrera was an idiot, and gave the ref an easy decision. Valencia should be off too.

Johner

We have been poor since the goal, lots of possession but not doing a lot with it. Will only have ourselves to blame if we concede.

Rojo trying to take matters in to his own hands

Such utd bias on this station

Valencia is still a decent player...

I'm so raging utd didn't go for him
Great player

If Real Madrid stumped up the cash for Pogba (I think it was his preferred move also, to be fair), ye very well might have gone for him. I'd have loved him at Liverpool too given that he's the prototype of a Klopp player, but Chelsea won the lottery. Won't be long before a bigger club comes calling for him though, then we'll see what happens.

Crackle

Chelsea a little too calm and relaxed playing around the back. Inviting problems for themselves.

sReq | uTeK

Top class Valencia

I always loved Dunphy calling them hammerheads as it was an accurate description of them in some games :pac:

They'll get another chance, its up to them if they take it.

You would swear Keown played for utd not Arsenal the way he is taking them up tonight.

Hes probably hoping for Arsenal to pull Utd in the semi final.

Johner

Just take Costa off, seriously.

I don't think that was a deciding factor
We always wanted Pogba but similar players they are not

Scummy from costa, finally carded

Oliver technically got it wrong in that he was harsh on the individual player, but Herrera, and Utd as a team, gave him every opportunity to send Ander off.

If you walk the tightrope of going out to systematically kick a player out of the game by rotating the kicker (José has used this tactic for years), you run the risk of the ref sending one of your team off, so there are few grounds for complaint IMO.
