Feel sorry for lukaku. Zero service to him but he will probably get the abuse.

From who?
We are all blaming miki

Good positive subs from Jose
Mikis form is such a worry

He will get the he doesn't do it in big games abuse if he doesn't get one today.

The stats today make very grim reading for Jose's approach to these big away games.

They got the balance between grit and creativity perfect against Spurs. I just don't get being so utterly negative, it's reaping very little reward for him in his time at United in such matches.

What's it now? 7 goals against the top 6 in close to 40 games. More than a narrative.

Father Hernandez

If it stays the same, Lukaku taking the blame would be harsh, Mkhi anonymous and nothing coming off for Rashford although he's worked hard.

United been poor overall but Chelsea having complete control over the game, the influence of Kante is huge. Does a huge amount that goes unnoticed in the grand scheme of things

Defensive sub by Conte
That's ok tho as it's a viable tactic

I'd imagine it's to counter the height of Felani.

Is it any wonder very few match threads get started any more when you see some of the **** getting posted. Pretty embarrassing lads

To track Martial also

I wish ander would stop shooting in any game.

He's a woreful shot on him

GreNoLi

Jose needs to change his approach in much the same way as Conte did last season if united are to win anything major.

U ok hun ?

Fs Rashford
Get off the corners

Carpentry

I see now, Mick's got the point about Rashers corners

I wouldn't think so, they took Azpa off so it looks like they are just adding a bit more height to deal with Lukaku and Felani?

Agent Coulson

He does love a good elbow.

Father Hernandez

Could end up eating my words but Rashford as a corner taker is so hit and miss.

For every 1 good corner, there is 3 poor ones.

As a spectator, I can't understand how you can't beat the first man on the majority of occasions

Shame feedback threads over. These things should be nuked. Nothing good comes from them.

Soft yellow again

He's been marking him the last ten minutes

I think they're gas craic.

People should stop taking it all so seriously!

Rekop dog

Best I've seen Cesc play in a long time. Probably man of the match today.

So far it's Morata for me, great goal and looked dangerous all game.

Pre season I thought Lukaku was the better signing and he's done well so far but Morata is much more of a presence in bigger games

Unites badly need Pogba back. That midfield is going nowhere without a calm and creative outlet.

Fellani looking rusty after being out so long
Should have been 2

There's usually a good reason for a reputation tbh.

In fairness to Lukaku, Chelsea don't sit back and isolate Morata and play players like Mkhitaryan behind him.

So so true. I never understand why people get so upset.

Rekop dog

Should be out of sight. Given United's late goal prowess Chelsea could really rue missed chances.

Chelsea been excellent this half
First to everything now

penalties in the FAI CUP FINAL just starting, if anyone is interested

That's true alright, has had no support. Have to feel for him

Agent Coulson

Does Herrera do anything other than foul is he actually a footballer.

blueser

Herrera very fortunate not to get his walking papers there.

Silly from Herrera
One more and he's off I'd say
Last thing we need is a loss and a red card on top of it

Tbf, Bakayoko has had 4 fouls since his card in the first half. Narratives are weird, not sure why the commentators haven't mentioned it.

Tom.D.BJJ

Can't string two passes together ffs

GreNoLi

Azpilicueta is like a mixture of Lahm and Zambrotta, great player.

Would have been a harsh second yellow and sending off IMO

That said, if he wasn't booked I could see the ref giving him a yellow for constant fouling

United need a full 11 to get anything from this
