Anelka was frustrating too but tbf he could control a ball. Anelka was quick, good technician and an ice cold finisher. Problem was he was horible when under pressure so would have faltered today, too. so Anelka-lite is about right Costa gave the performance everyone expected from him tbh. We knew Utd would press him and be out to frustrate and rile him up. it worked he didnothing all game. except picking fights with that clown Rojo. We reallyneed a better1st strike rnext seasonand to get htis one back on track he needs a game on the bench.

This is really slipping. Every team will now put on one hell of a fight against us because the FA wants them to. The refs will give penalty after penalty and red card after red card against us and still we have to keep fighting. We will slip up more than once after this but we can hope that Tottenham will too. That is our only chance. If they slip up once the title is ours by default. so feckin get our crap together.

game over can as well turn it off. what bad luck was that. also not so good bykante.

why did Begovic come out of the goal. Luiz is driving Rashford away from goal. Bego was placed perfectly on the line. there is no way Rashrod scores from that angle with luiz covering the far post. it is a carbon copy of the goal cavani scored vs us last season. begovic is no proactive goalie anyway. stay on your line and make the save at the near post.

holy crap what a shit half from us. easily the worst half of the season together with the first at the emirates. Utd simply look like they have a plan. a simple one. whacking our players downand and playing long balls for rashford to chase. and its working because we look completely disjointed. the injuries hurt us big time. really ugly game. i gotta feeling Tibo wouldhave saved that one. 1 v 1 is his strength. however with that performance we could as well be 2 down. lucky to be still in the game. i hope conte has the answer.

dafuq did they water the pitch with. all our players slipping on this joke of a turf all the time. not being a conspiracy theorist now but utd are clearly better prepared for this slippy turf.

hey are clearlyinstructed to foul us as often as possible to stem our flow. and the ref is clearly favouring them.

so freckin atrocious. the pressure is clearly getting to us. no composure whatsoever

horrible refereeing, pro Utd at OT quelle surprise. wish our striker was as ungry as Rashford.

clear handball by herrara or who, crazy mistsake by the ref but we were too open in the middle. gonna be a long game now

This is the real test. Lose or draw and the title race is on, win and it is effectively over. I think if we win this, it will break Tottenham's resolve. Their easy fixtures are over and us not slipping to either Manchster team is something that will demoralize em. Still has to be won tho. Up the Chels!

TBF they looked absolutely awful when we played them this season. No threat going forward with their only chances coming from some gifted turnovers. but we have to take this seriously. we will surely concede with Pogba/Fellaini/Lingard/Zlatan and their skinny awkwardness somehow forcing a twice deflected, handed offside goal. and they will park the bus sooner or later.

spot on. great technique and what an important goal. bends it like bekcham with power brecicison, curl and curve.

As expected Spurs won their game, so extra pressure. Luckily Moses is fit again and has to startif he can. Would seriously consider leaving Costa out. He is shot of confidence anyway, couldn't hit a barn door right now and Willian would add a bit of ball retention and has an excellent first touch. NOt much of a goal threat but neither is Costa atm.

Yes they look absolutely invincible. However I don't believethey won't slip up. They are incredibly lucky atm. Sure, luck comes with confidence but they don't really break oppositions up, they are simply shooting from every distance and angle and they goin. Great to watch for their fans but they will need more than that against ManU and Arsenal. But yeah.We must win every game before our trips to Everton and Utd and get at least 2points from there. We are under massive pressure and there are signs weare notimmune to that after all. , the last 2 game s were nervous as fuck and full of errors thank fuck we still got a slender lead and don't play them anymore.

2019

You are right about stoke. They got a penalty as a gift from the FA. They probably want to make the title race more suspenseful again but we stuck the finger at them and prevailed. Years ago we might have cru!Bled under the obvious injustice of the refs against us but Conte and his intensity never will let this happen But if you think we would somehow play to make it happen for Diegos individual glory you are gravely mistaken. Diego will never in his life be a league's top scorer at the end of the season. He is a decent goalscorer but does not have the mental and physical consistency to score enough. The team obviously plays to get us over the line and Diego is a part in that which is good. Even though he is not at his best he is working the channels trying to hold up play not only waiting for the chances to fall his way. Also Diego mostly scores the important 1-0 or 2-0. To become top scorer u need to go cr7 mode and score loads of tap ins and penalties at 5-0, 6-0 against the rubbish defences of some poor teams already beaten to the ground to make up the numbers. Lukaku surely has understood that.

Haha i noticed that too. However they lost almost every aerial shell with the mostly tiny Leicester players. Genuinely happy for Leicester. They fully deserved this for a spirited performance and should have won higher. What a performance from Kaspar schmeichl over both legs tho. 2 saved pens and loads of world class saves. Never was a fan of his esp after Torres two soft goals against him in 2012 but what a goalie that little man has become.

The sweetest thing is that we ended utds what 31 match unbeaten run

Well whatever. This is not at whl. Let's hope wanyama gets a bad flu before the game.

Fuck its tottenham our bogey team. Mancity in the final

3-0 would have been the correct score. Utd defender better than last time but where just as clueless offensively. I have only seen pogba in big matches and he was poor in all of them. The guy turns 24 Wednesday can't say he's a special talent any more? Really wonderful whether he is the most overrated player on the planet. Average performance from us but we still where heads and shoulders above them playing out of their skins. Massive gulf in quality between the two sides. Makes me confident for the double

Watch out for Jesse Lombard he is like the fellaini of wingers. A player who can force a goal by his sheer skinny awkwardness

Not necessarily. If so hazard would get less time on the ball. I would be content with a technically well rounded striker who can hold up play, pass, distribute dribble a bit have good close control and is a decent finisher and aerial threat

Costa can be such a fool. If he is not on his day he is plain useless. Really should have signed an alternative we look toothless without a proper striker and aerial threat
