Man Utd Thread:

Had Utd played like that last 25 mins for 90 mins they'd have taken something out of that game!

Though a 1-0 based on this game was a fair result! Conte ignoring Jose after the game! Seems to be a theme now from managers, they really take it thick now

I assume they only started playing because they where behind ? They had to try and get something out of the game. If it had been 0-0 with 20 to go Mourinho would have been happy to settle for that. That's the danger of setting up the way he does

Nah 1st half was very open, United played with 2 up top and had a go. Chelsea got on top of them as the half went on simply by playing better. 2nd half followed the same pattern and if I'm honest I didn't see that much improvement in the last 25 from United. So not parking the bus obviously isn't the solution  .

Last year we were all crying for Miki to play every game, this year he is playing every game and getting worse by the week!! Herrara only slightly better again.

Lukaku was poor today I thought. He had a reputation for only performing against the weaker teams at Everton. United could have nicked a point at the end but Chelsea definitely the better team today.

I thought utd only came into it at the end because Chelsea took off Fabregas and Hazard. Even then the main threat they had came from lumping high balls into Fellaini. He knocked one down to set up a good chance for Rashford and took one on his chest brilliantly that he nearly scored. Spurs and Chelsea are much better teams. If both can keep their best players fit, United will be battling for 4th.

Utd fans running out of patience with the negative tactics.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Jose throw the toys out of the pram before too long.

In fairness to Lukaku, I'm not sure how any striker can perform consistently against big sides when his team's tactics against big sides generally involve 10 behind the ball and counter attack with caution.

What time did Fellaini come on?

Hate to say I told you so but.....

Hopefully he does fcuk off soon. There's the makings of a decent team there if he just let them play rather than treating every game as an opportunity to show the world how clever he is. And you can drop guys who are out of form. It's not a sign of weakness you twat.

Around about the time Gerrard slipped against Chelsea, when trying to not slip up to win the league

What a great time to be an ABU . . .

It would have been a lot better to be a ABU surely when Moyles and co were in charge?

All of it since Slur Alex. . .

Kante coming back yesterday like he'd never been injured was massive.

He was absolutely dominant, that type of player gets into every team in the world and he probably was the difference if you look at Chelsea in Rome and the Chelsea of yesterday.

You'd have to look at the opposition too - one team trying to win, the other marshalled by a tactical dinosaur who's been found out.

Fair enough people want to dig out Jm, but if they are going to do so then do it with facts.
United were the better team for most of the first half. United posed the threat in a good game back and forward between both teams. To say JM went defensive is rubbish and with a bit more care up front there could have been goals.

Chelsea stepped it up second half and fabregas and hazzard took control in mid field. MIssing someone in midfield to control the games at the moment and any team would miss Pogba and Carrick at different points.

Keep making excuses. Eventually it will be clear to all. Carrick is a loss in my eyes but Jose wouldn't play him anyway even if he was fit.
