That second penalty is an absolutely ridiculous decision from Webb. The third goal comes from a thrown in down at the Man Utd end that looks like a pretty clear Chelsea throw in. Some more than dubious decisions throughout from Webb who remains as consistent a performer as any for Man Utd.

That being said, stupid from Sturridge in the first penalty diving in like that, had we not given away that penalty so early I think we would have won that game comfortably, from there the momentum switches.

We saw a glimpse of how well we can play under AVB, those opening few minutes of the second half were absolutely blistering. However we also saw the negatives. Would a Jose Mourinho coached Chelsea ever give up a 3-0 lead? Not in a million years, not against any team, especially not that Man Utd team.

Standout performers? David Luiz was superb at the back, marshalled and led the defence very well. Essien, despite tiring towards the end, gave it his all and showed he isn't finished as a player. But the standout star was undoubtedly Juan Mata, a sublime display from the mercurial Spanish star, had a hand in the first goal, assisted David Luiz's goal and scored one of the best goals of the season with a volley of supreme technique and skill, not only was his his quality but it was his attitude, his chasing around the pitch, he epitomizes everything good about what AVB is trying to build, he is Chelsea's star player and he put in a star performance today.

Torres should have scored at 3-2. Glaring opportunity, just strike the ball and it would have been a goal, he did the first bit, to get away from Ferdinand, ever so well, but his lack of confidence is proving a really big issue. Great cross for the Mata goal, but should have scored himself. Also credit to Gary Cahill, tough game to debut in but did well alongside Luiz and was unlucky not to score at the end.

All in all, had you offered me a draw before the game, considering the calibre of players were were missing, I would have taken it no questions asked.Considering the nature of the game it was disappointing to only get a point but it's not as if we are in the title race, 3 points wasn't absolutely essential. AA mixed bag, a few positives to take from the game but also a few negatives....and a burning hatred of Howard Webb, but I already had that so that is nothing new.

I always think Sturridge is reckless but the first penalty was a very soft penalty.

Evra clearly put his feet in front of Sturridge to draw a foul.

If Jose was still here he'd probably been escorted from the pitch or something after Webbs mental moments!

3-0 up.....smug Man U fans probably smugger then ever....4 pens for United in their last 2 games....and we get sodd all and some complete bollocks of a ref and a result

Need to move on, and stop living in the past like Liverpool fans.....

We had a great game, there where a lot of good stuff and bad stuff we can build on from.

Am I the only one who feels as much disappointed as with Barca 09? This is probably worse considering our rivalry, and losing such a fantastic 3-0 lead is heartbreaking.

And to loose it to two penatly decisons...amazing comeback blah blah no it was more a case of having Webb on your side!! 2 sodding pens?!

That was more in response the whole if Jose was our manager we wouldnt let a 3-0 lead go...doubt even he'd have much infuelnce over Webb!! And aint Abs fault so much for those two pens.

There is a lot of a good stuff and we werent doing that bad and thats why so annoying!Didnt expect us to go 3-0 up..Man U fans thought they'd won it from the kick off and just ahhhhhh

And the save at the end?!Why become good now?! Gah hate football sometimes lol..winds you up!

How many of you thought we was going to win before the match? Most of you were saying we will lose, but would be happy with a half decent performance.

Mata had an absolutely cracking game and was most certainly man of the match. Torres had a very good game and his cross to Mata for the goal was impeccable. David Luiz, although out of position a lot, had a brilliant game and Cahill had a debut to be proud of.

End of the day, yes we were 3 nil up and threw it away, but there are plenty of positives to take from this. Everyone suggesting AVB needs to go, needs to get a grip, he needs time to build his own legacy.

Lets not forget we still haven't lost in 2012.

After every abysmal performance there is someone saying there are great positives to take. I am honestly starting to lose hope for the future of the team. I understand now what everyone means when they say we're in transition. We are quickly transitioning into shit.

Can we stop saying it's unfair, We are just not good enough and AV fucking B is not helping matters much with his subs.

At the beginning of the day I was expecting an hiding from Manu so a draw I can live with.

But the cunts still made me lose my appetite for my roast!!!!!!

Can anyone post links for the pens so u can see them again in a good view/angle? I swear the 2nd one wasnt a pen but id like to see the first again.

The first one was simply Evra using his experience to get Sturridge to make a reckless challenge. But it was still extremely soft

Ye I agree that it isn't a stonewall penalty, it is a debatable one but we all know Webb, give him any sniff of an opportunity to give Man Utd a penalty and he will take it with Van Nistelrooy like predatory instinct.
