Chelsea's midfield bossing the match, his reading of the game and defensive mobility has been poor today.

Your raving

Chelsea have been good the last ten minutes

Utd have been the better overall

Been a pretty good game from a nuetral point of view. Better than most of the recent games I have seen. Lot of pressing by both teams high up the pitch. Both look to be trying to win as opposed to making sure they don't lose. Hopefully stays the same for 90 mins

Father Hernandez

Jesus this thread is poison, as said above keep it to the game and stop your bickering,

On the game, Chelsea looking very threatening, United very open at the back and have squandered a few good chances. Could and should be ahead. Mkhitaryan been v poor again, maybe not the game for it but Martial - Lukaku - Rashford would be the dream although it's great to have the bench from a United perspective.

Decent half so far for a 0-0

Agree, good competitive game of football. Really enjoying it, I have to say.

Agent Coulson

Chelsea dominating the first half and very unlucky not to be in front on the back of a woeful referee decision disallowing a perfectly good goal.

Chelsea pretty dominant in possession, touches and shots. Get the blinkers off.

Mkhitaryan a passenger so far

Medium rare half.

Its absolutely desperate stuff.
Utd can't string two passes together and Chelsea aren't much better.

No they haven't
Your bias against Utd is clear as always tho so not that surprising

Our passing has been poor. Herrera not at the races again

JamboMac

Can't decide whether zapacosta looks more like pink panther villain or borat.

1 shot on target for Utd. Cracking stuff.

I thought he's been decent
It's Miki that's been the weak link again
I'd prefer to see fellani on

Let's get back to the game. Chelsea really should be in front on the balance of chances.

...and legitimate goals scored.

Turtyturd

Hard for Herrera to be involved when he’s spent 40 minutes of the half on the ground.

For all of Uniteds bus parking etc, defensively they are not really that good. Chelsea cutting them open here as Liverpool did at times only to fluff their lines in front of goal.

1. The bus isn't parked.

2. Liverpool created 1 chance.

Loving your work though

Agent Coulson

Mkhitaryan has been a huge disappointment since he came to England was he this bad in Germany as well?

Turtyturd

That was actually a better first half than expected. Think United caught Chelsea unaware by actually coming at them for the first 10 minutes, but it’s been mostly Chelsea since then. Bakayoko’s Miss was shocking.

Inquitus

Good open game as a neutral, the OG should have stood imho. There was more contact in the peno that was turned down.

Apparently he was great in Germany, given how Klopp rushed home from his holiday to tell him not to bother signing for Liverpool.

What's with this whole siege mentality by utd fans pretending everything is wonderful and everyone hates us.

Best chance fell to Rashford
Huge miss
I think he could have headed it to Lukaku also

It's generally what happens when a team plays anti-football. It was same back in the days of Stoke playing a similar style of football.

No blinkers here

You are just clearly going out of your (ooooo) way to imply Matic is having a poor game when he clearly is not

He's been one of the best players in the pl this season

It was confirmed a foul once sourness said it shouldn't have stood.

That's enough for anyone

Ye but everyone understood why Stoke played that way.

This utd team is one of the most expensively put together squads in the history of football and playing the Stoke way.


If you told the utd fans when Alex was manager that in 5 years you will be playing Stoke ball do you think anyone of them would have believed you and defended it?

When you're more concerned about preventing the other team playing than actually playing yourself.

United are not playing Stoke ball. Either you never watched that Stoke team, or you never watched this United side. Or you aren't neutral. I'm going for the latter.

You think that someone saying Chelsea were the better side in the first half was waffle.

United always had good defenders that could defend. Never clueless headless chickens that havent a notion how to defend. Ian Holloway used the attack only method for Blackpool it led to high scoring games but relegation. No one can call defensive competence "anti-football" lol.

Also who is our Delap using throw ins to create goals more frequent than set pieces. United have no set piece specialist. Did you ever watch Stoke?

Why is rashford still on corners
He never beats the first man
