Closed Man United 1-1 Chelsea

[DazLaughlan 55]

What a shit day this was for me earlier!! First my local team lost a 92nd minute goal in the derby and then that bloody 94th minute one!! Now I've calmed down we just need to take the point and move on. We have had a great start to the season and aslong as we keep focused we should stay in the driving seat.

What does it mean to be dominated? Hahahaha go back and watch the game dude.

We were well in control of the match right up until the 85th min. I can't remember one situation where Utd threatened us in the second half... It was nervy because we didn't kill it, not because Utd posed any real threat going forward. Can you think of on play that had you worried?

And now you're saying we should've shut up shop right after the goal at 54mins? lol dude you're killing me. Mikel is the last guy you bring on if you wanna go up a gear. We were good on the day, not great but don't complain about the tactical side of the game when there was little we could do to change it. Oscar Matic and Fab were on yellows, not really much else we could do.

I'm pretty sure I said bring on Mikel and Shurrle to go up a gear and win the match, you said it yourself our midfield was tired and carded, that's why Mikel should of come on earlier while people like Cesc were still lively. If you think we were in control you are deluded, they had more possession, more shots, more shots on target. If it wasn't for our man of the match Courtois (which says a lot) they would of scored way before we scored with the Van Persie chances in the first half. Courtois saved our ass, apart from the poor refereeing, United fairly deserved a draw, they outplayed us in the first half and after Mikel came on and we parked the bus.

I won't lie if I said I'm kinda annoyed by the point.

A point against City was good, but against this United....and especially when City drop points. Argh!

And I am finding a bit annoying Mourinho trying to close shop so early.

This is not the same Chelsea of 04!

We need to have the ball more.

I guaranteed that such tactics will cost us even more in CL matches. Specially in the semi finals where little margins define the game.

We need to kill opponents with this Chelsea not set up shop half way game like the Chelsea of old.

yes, he was so bold to say last season that he team lacked balls against Palace. Well he clearly lacked balls today bringing Obi fucking Mikel (that was terrible btw) when we were dominating. I get it that most of our midfield had been booked, but it was still no excuse to bring him.

I didn't complain about the tactics in the first half because I felt it was a disastrous performance by the players, nothing wrong with Mourinho's approach. But the moment he brought Mikel on and moved every single player behind the ball with still 20 minutes to go, he just screwed up.

Iva didn't deserve be sent off, I'm not even sure it was a free kick, but in all honesty, it pays Mourinho right for such a coward approach. Their defenders were lost after our goal, we should have capitalized, not played like a small team.

Agree!

Disappointed with the dropped points, especially with the fact Man Utd didn't deserve anything from the match. At least a points better than none tbh, but hopefully doesn't come back to haunt us later on in the season

That means nothing. Van Persie's one chance in the first half yes... To each his own I guess I didn't see the game like that at all.

Took Oscar off brought on 'The Loser of Games'

I'm sorry to say as soon as I saw that - I turned off the TV after the first Utd player walked past him! I nearly smashed up my remote!

Mikel is fucking useless - he's fresh on the pitch - cannot fucking pass, cannot tackle and shows FUCK ALL MOTIVATION to close people down! AKE would have been the better option!

Mourinho you are to blame for this, I seriously question what you see in this waste of space player!

Please god let him be gone in January (Mikel not Mourinho)

Still fucking annoyed and the fact my Facebook has lit up with cunt Utd fans celebrating like its a World Cup ain't helping.

Mikel is just such a fucking cancer in this club - we should have let Utd have him!

I'm not as bothered about the Ref - I expected the 12th man! It's Utd after all - cheating their way to success.

I also thought Hazard was shit today - absolute garbage - he bottled it massively

Did RVP get booked for taking off his shirt?

[chelseafc9010 224]

The stats prove it, we had such good chances as well though in Drogba's and Eden's, we should of scored more no doubt.

Mikel isn't the problem, he is useful for wasting time, keeping the ball and parking the bus. Jose is the problem for parking the bus in the first place and bringing Mikel on just to make our team deepen.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the village idiot.

I wish Drogba could keep playing forever.

Stats prove it if you didn't watch the game.

Which shot do you remember being threatening? was it Di Maria's blast from 40 yds out into Courtois' hands that had you in awe? Or maybe it was Mata's moon shot 30 yds over the net.

Love Didier! What a legend. I almost want to preserve the pregame thread for prosperity! Lots of CHELSEA SUPPORTERS with Egg on their face right now.

Gary Neville on that Hazard shot: "It would have been better for all of us if that had gone in...

Graeme Souness catches him off guard: "Did you really just say you wanted that one to go in...?"

Lol...I'm more and more convinced that Gary Neville's a closet Chelsea fan...

The three 1 on 1s Van Persie had maybe? The chipped shot that Courtois did well to keep out? Courtois was motm for a reason.

Arsenal had a couple of chances in the first half that was very open and even, but in the second half they had absolutely NOTHING. We completely dominated them in the second half and we were in complete control of everything till the 94th minute.
