closed Man United 2-0 Chelsea

[Magic Lamps 11,692]

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.

There are just several players in our XI that should be squaddies and not every match starters. Matic, Pedro, Moses. Thankful for them getting us into this position, but they get exposed far too often. 

I'm actually starting to look forward to the summer when we can sell Diego one of those Chinese suckers who are willing to pay silly money for him. When he's not scoring goals he's basically a donkey like Andy Carroll on the ball.

Don't be ridiculous. Seriously, not trying to pick on you mate but your takes have been shocking all match thread long.

Its not ridiculous though lol. Mourinho had Herrera on Hazard, and it exposed us. Remove Hazard and we are exposed.

 

Costa cant do it.

Pedro Cant

and Matic won't with any pressure.

 

You take away our talisman and Conte cant react.

[Special Juan 28,141]

That was a diabolical performance. The worst for a long time because the opponent was so weak and vulnerable.

If we play like that next weekend at Wembley Spurs will destroy us.

West brom and Everton games will decide the tittle. 

I still think spurs will drop points

Some of our players are technically so poor and brainless..Credit to conte for putting the team in first position with some of these players.....I need to be away from football for few days

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Utterly pathetic. 

We were similarly bad away at Spurs. We are easy to play against. 

We just about have enough points to get over the line, but we need major investment if we want to compete next season.

Let's not over-reacted - this was a bad performance, but United deserve credit. We'll move on - just means the margins are now even narrower and we can't really afford to drop anything at all.

I didn't expect us to win this game in all honesty but I never expected us to look incredibly average and laughable at times. Not one shot on target, not one clear cut chance, outplayed by one of the worst United teams and tactically lost to the crying one. Mourinho's show for cameras just proved how mentally ill this guy is.

Conte needs to use a strong language to address the weak areas. One field player getting injured and we look clueless.

I am so annoyed. So annoyed.

Spurs got two goals against the run of play.
Maybe the same bad as against Arsenal early in the season.
Granted they had a big advantage after the hand ball we did not even react. We could not react. Even after the 2-0 we did not react for appearances sake.

[the wes 7,212]

Are next two league games we started early kick offs if we win them we can put pressure on spurs to drop points  

[Pizy 18,918]

I'm calm now. I was more mad watching it than I am afterwards. This can be the necessary kick up the ass our players need to wake up. 

If this doesn't show our higher-ups that serious investment is needed I don't know what to say. We need some top class, highly technical ball players if we want to improve and take the next step. Too many of our players are poor on the ball.

[cosmicway 1,333]

Only Luiz played.

This is going to go one of two ways...

1) Conte (out of character) decides for us to play a more defensive game as we did at Anfield, and we'll get sucker-punched into a 1-1 draw or possibly even a narrow loss. 

2) Conte decides to put Mourinho in his place, we go out on the full-on offensive and we absolutely batter them. 

 

Can't see it going any other way, tbh. The bad feeling I have suggests it will be option 1. 

Well, I was wrong.

 

Mourinho absolutely schooled Conte tactically today.

Nobody played, stop it. 0/10 performance all round for both players and manager.

So much of our game is reliant on Hazard. He's basically been carrying us for a while now. Today they just marked Hazard throughout the game and we didn't really have any answer at at all. Against all the top teams, our midfield struggles really bad to keep the ball and recycle possession. In the first 20 minutes they had 65% of the ball which was really horrible for us. We really need to get a central midfielder to help us out in the midfield battle because Matic just isn't cutting it and I hope today his defenders see why he is just no good for us. Herrera's hand ball was a foul but that was all down to Matic being so immobile and one footed. He just struck it straight at Herrera's hand when he could have easily taken it around him or passed to the side a bit. Matic just doesn't do anything for us anymore. He can't defend, can't pass, can't keep the ball. Just a nothing player at this moment. 

As for Costa, I'll just say that the guy is a bellend. I'm sick of him at this stage. Might as well pass the ball straight to an opposition player because that's what he'll do if you give it to him.

We need a CM, a new striker and a forward to help relieve the pressure when teams just set up to mark Hazard out of the game.

We are going to play Spuds next. We need a new fresh take now. Costa will not score many goals for the rest of the season. 1 or 2 at best and I'm being generous.

Try Bats or Solanke. ANYBODY. Because Costa is pretty a useless turd now, these players can't do any worse than him.

Costa is gonna play no matter what. Same when Jose played Ivanovic every game.
