Man United 1-1 Chelsea

[TheHulk 1,855]

We weren't going to win as soon as Doni and Danchez started.

[lluubbeenn 142]

It was a tough game. United cb were very deep and their full backs were very good. We did good not to lose after the pen. Caicedo is starting to give Kante vibes. Long may it continue! It is quite disappointing not to end the winless streak and get 3 points, but on the other hand we are back in the top 4 and got a point more compared to last season. COYB!

Not a great performance overall but eh, we are clearly a work in progress. Top 4 sitting above Arsenal, Villa and Spurs after 10 games. League is hard and no games are given for free these days - see City + Arsenal results. I'm pretty happy overall.

Becoming more obvious why Enzo is on the bench.

Happened last season too., with Caicedo and Gallagher displacing him to take the team on a winning run.

He was brought in with view of building a team around.

Not seeing what he brings to the starting 11.

Nowhere near Fabregas levels of creativity. Poor defensively. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong. 

you are not wrong

it was the typical 'win the world cup so go crazy flashing cash' buy

[Special Juan 27,424]

Absolutely gutless performance from us as this fuckign shit can of a lot where there for the taking.

We just sat in and were scared to actually play with balls, we cost ourselves 3 points here and the fact we nearly lost makes me sick

I will be far happier if we beat Arse

That's the current situation, unfortunately. His finishing makes it hard to deploy him in attack, and he's not physical enough in the PL to defend well. Perhaps a change in the system will benefit him in the future, otherwise he will prob have to leave.

It's evidently too soon, but so far Lavia has been pretty meh for me. He was poor today, along with Madueke and Gusto, our worst performers. He looks like a composed player, with good passing ability, but he couldn't match the pace and intensity of this game; the match demanded a bit more quickness, which he was unable to deliver. Perhaps it's just a inevitable result from his long absence and finally getting to play the PL toe-to-toe against the top sides... it is almost never a seamless transition.

Speaking of the game itself, United may be in trouble as a team, but they are still a big club. The tempo was pretty high at times, just not very consistent. So, it's not a "normal" game against a mid/smaller club. For this reason, I'm not too disappointed with the result.

I did n't see any of it.
I had to go to a silly honey exhibition.
We fluffed again I see.

[Mário César 975]

I never thought it would be an easy game with the change of coach and because it's usually a difficult stadium for us

It's not a good result, but it's not bad either.

What worried me most was the poor performance and I still put my hands on my head wondering how the board trusted Sanchez for another season

It's not the end of the world, but it tastes slightly to little

I don't think the defense would have a bad thing like that. I think that in attack we should have been more assertive and jackson could have been replaced frankly

I'm also worried about the nodi madueke because it's breaking its shape a bit.

[Vesper 28,799]

Manure Inc (ex players, pundits, cucked up red fanbois, etc) is ripping itself apart in lashings out at

Trashford

Lisandro

Casemiro (who actually, IMHO, had a good game and saved their arses multiple times)

Garnacho

de Ligt

Bruno

Ugarte

Højlund 

Onana

Zirkzee 

Bonus bovver boots to the jacobs, ex post facto stylee, on ten bags.

Lololol

Someone needs to be challenging Madueke for that RW spot, he has looked too comfortable? Thinking that he is an automatic starter.. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

We went through the biggest teams with an injured Arsenal coming in a few games and in 4th. Not the worst place to be after the last three seasons.

Position: Attack - Right Winger
Foot: Left

[cosmicway 1,323]

I have noticed two things.
Madueke and his Arse counterpart Saka become tired after 60 minutes or so.
Mudryk on the left also, the last twenty-thirty minutes against Newcastle for the Carabao.
The wingers don't last 90 minutes.

He’s simply being used until Estevao arrives.

Neto can play there with ease and seems like a nailed on starter out wide. It's a battle between the other three (Noni, Mudryk, & Sancho) for a spot.
