Its time for new signing Aperol to stand up and be counted.

We can talk about luck but United are the architects of their own downfall.

Chelsea ruthless....us toothless.

Our performance has been decent but they've taken their chances. Januzaj needs to get more of the ball which is why I'm flabbergasted why he started so far up the pitch.

Take young off, put Januzaj wide and bring Hernandez on.

Eto'o has not scored a good goal since joining Chelsea. Everything is fecking spawned and fluked into the net somehow.

fecking pathetic in defence, toothless in attack. How many chances must Januzaj create before Valencia, Welbeck or anybody from our fecking midfield decides to close it down and finish it ?

Chelsea play like shit too, that's the worst thing about it.

watch moyes say that we were unlucky played well good squad etc.

feck OFF

Well, we have played well. Chelsea have had two chances. 1 jammy goal and one goal from poor concentration. We've had a penalty not given and a player of theirs not sent off. I've criticized Moyes before, but he's done nothing wrong in this game.

Bring on kagawa for one of the wingers and put januzaj out wide is what I'd do at half. Decent enough half but not clinical and lacking a final ball. No luck at the back either.

Kagawa not getting in a side without Rooney and Van Persie. I guess he wonders why he is even still here. Doesn't look like he has much of a future on under Moyes.

That's what happens when you select a team based on archaic metrics like workrate
Yep.

What makes the scoreline worse is the fact we have played well and looked the team most likely to score. It has ended up us being the team looking to attack and Chelsea countering us, which they have done. Two down at HT is very harsh.
We haven't though, thats the thing. We;ve had more of the ball, we've had it good areas, but we've not looked like scoring at all. We've looked blunt and clueless in the final third. As usual.

Haven't posted in years only come back to stir... I said we're playing well but I don't think we have two goals in us... I forgot this isn't a forum where a fan can post there opinion.

An word to the wise, I don't post a lot cause I'm normally at the games son!
Oh I didn't realise we played every day of the week, which you must obviously attend, preventing you from posting. You go to games, big deal. So do I.

Evans runs over to the ball. That was his space that he left behind. When he plays we don't defend well. Drop him.

not surprised in the slightest.

looking forward to see how moyes responds after half time. expecting shouts of "go on danny" for 35 minutes, throwing hernandez on for 5, muttering to himself for the other 5, and a massive grin in his interview afterwards.

i'll take being wrong though.

I've said it time and again..Jonny Evans is not good enough to play in the first eleven for us. There is a reason why we concede so many fecking goals. Evra was to blame there too but Evans should have recognized that Evra was in the same spot as him and needed to switch places.

Some very nice stuff, but what the feck has happened to our defending. Holy shit it's so bad right now.
The finishing is the bigger problem. Thats the main difference with last season when we had RVP. We conceded two here last season, but still won...

going forward, we were okay, especially with januzaj, the only problem is the final deliveries.

defending however....

Somewhere in your mind, touching a nerve
Evans back in our defence and we look shaky again. Young has done nothing. Jones has been anonymous at times. Badically all three players he brought in haven't been good enough. Should have stayed with thevteam that beat swansea. fecking idiot.

Absolute shambles. The players and the manager don't have a clue. Our defending has been atrocious since Moyes has taken over. The second goal case in point when our players were all over the place.

Don't let the possession stats fool you. We have created next to nothing and played right into the counterattacking style that chelski are so good at. Ashley Young and Valencia have contributed nothing. Jones is having a nightmare. Adnan Januzaj is NOT a striker and after the Swansea debacle you'd think Moyes would learn that. Sadly not and for some reason Kagawa is on the bench instead of playing in the hole for us and creating chances which we have not been doing.
All of this post is absolute garbage, and you should get a grip. Please.

We need to get Hernandez on the pitch, maybe sacrifice Young with him being on a card but Valencia otherwise.

We haven't been clincal despite creating chances and Chelsea have been the complete opposite.

It is fecking depressing to watch us right now, even when we play well we have feck all to show for it.
