Any chance of that taxi for rashford arriving yet?

Chelsea look so lost out there now. At least it’s United having to come from behind though, they can play some good stuff when they want to but I wouldn’t count on Chelsea doing the same if the roles were reversed.

Chelsea are in their best run of form all season

thee glitz

Ffs, that wasn't an attempt.

StringerBell

Matic just watched kante breeze past him and then jogged after him, ****ing hell like

Damien360

Wasted. Kante should have taken it. Alonso never expected it.

Mars Bar

That's probably a penalty

Mars Bar

Jaysus. United got away wit that

martyos121

He had to hit that first time, slide it into the corner to De Gea’s right.

And a blatant penalty not given straight after. Poor refereeing, not even going to VAR.

I think drawing at home to Huddersfield and losing 3 nothing against a Newcastle team with nothing to play for when chasing a CL spot (albeit against big odds) slightly stifled this "best run of form"

They aren't even playing well today

Chelsea gonna blow this game

Quazzie

Surely with the ball out of play, that was a perfect time for VAR.

Smalling is battling Jones for stupidity

He did go to VAR

How does Young get away with it? He should have conceded two penalties in the league game at our place, and been red carded. And that was a penalty just now.

He did got to VAR ffs. It's like people create their own version of events

What's the point of VAR if it's not going to be used for big decisions that could determine the outcome of the game. Should of been a penalty there.

I don’t think they did, BT commentator mentioned that the assistant deemed it unnecessary. Don’t quote me on that though, open to correction.

Young gets away with murder tbh

Well it's 4 in 5 so it's their best run.

Ashley Young has been somehow immune to penalty decisions this season.

What is the circumstances for it to be used ? Was it not ball-to-hand anyway ?

I've already stated why your initial post was wrong. It seems reading is another weakness...

He's not wrong though, the quality might be ****e but at least there is a bit of life in the 2nd half. It's like the players throw off Jose's shackles when they have nothing to lose and just have a go. It's still shapeless and ugly but at least the energy levels go up.

Now go on and have a pop at me.

tombliboo83

Morata and Willian immediately please.

They drew at home against Huddersfield also

Never a penalty

Embarrassing lads

He was holding back on the corner talking away. Same for the offside call on Sanchez. He can run over to his assistant, no need for earpiece talks in those situations

I will have a go. Chelsea have parked the bus from minute one and strangled the life out of the game. Yet people are talking about Jose being the issue. Your assessment is dishonest because it ignores Chelsea role in this game.

For all United's possession, Chelsea have had the better chances in the second half.

I know you are Utd so not sure if that is sarcasm. But it wasn't a peno. Ball to hand. Young didn't know anything about it.

Yep.

titan18

That ball was crying out for a cross and Young just turns back inside and passes it

StringerBell

Storm seems to have been weathered now anyway

Quazzie

I know this has been said many times before, but N'Golo Kante is a phenomenal player

Harry Palmr

Is anyone else struck by how distant the BBC camerawork is in general play

tombliboo83

Conte incapable of making a change.

StringerBell

Chelsea always getting something in the way of the ball, credit to them for that.

martyos121

Shambolic defending there, one Chelsea player looking at the other waiting for him to clear it. They’ll blow it yet.

Tellies are bigger these days so no need to zoom in so much

Ahh Pogba. Will we get a better chance?

I prefer it to Sky. You can see the team shape much better and see the opportunities yourself

StringerBell

For **** sake pogba

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh Pogba. Gotta bury that.

Mushy

Psycho Nani in the crowd

martyos121

Completely free header and that’s the best he can do? Jesus.

PhlegmyMoses

You cannot miss that chance Pogba

testtech05

I thought Young definitely motioned his hand towards the ball. He was close to the ball but the motion was what made me think peno. Just my opinion and for what it's worth I'm unbiased towards both teams.

blueser

Dreadful header by Pogba. It wasn't even difficult.

Masala

Pogba... at his best!
