5 minutes to go, hopefully we see something positive from the team to take into the break
Jose often deploys the 721 tho, so feel bad giving someone else stick for it. I believe the set response we have is tactical masterclass.Anyone criticizing our inability to create: Chelsea are rock solid, playing with essentially 9 men behind the ball. Any team in the world will struggle against this Chelsea side, who are essentially playing a 5-3-1-1 having given up the lead.
For all the criticism Jose gets around parking buses, Conte is 10x worse. Main difference is Hazard v Sanchez.
Jones couldn't have followed Conte's script more. Rashford is, sadly, only really useful against a deep line on the counter. And Chelsea now have no reason whatsoever to bring men ahead of the ball.
If we're unable to get back into this it's really just done to (another?) Phil Jones moment. Chelsea were creating nothing against us whatsoever.
They did it against City when 2-0 at the Etihad and against this same Chelsea team at OTThe team lacks the character to pick themselves up.
I guess. It's always surprising when someone uses their real name as a username though.Yes. Why is that surprising, not an uncommon name
I agree. Now I hope he scores a goal to shut me up for a while.Its on par with what he's generally offered since his signing
From the stands?Fellaini needs to come in and save the day and get that new fat paycheck.
It doesn't help that we don't seem to have anyone playing on the right wing today. I think it's supposed to be Lingard but he is playing too narrow and often found on the left side of the field. Valencia is all by himselfDefenders ahead of attackers? will never happen under Mourinho.
He isn't there because Lukaku is there I presume. Fellaini is the alternative big man.Honestly, it's quite a shame Fellaini isn't on the bench. The only time it looks like we have a clue is when José brings him on.
Keep it tight and knick one from a cross?I have no idea what Jose is trying to achieve tactically
I agree although I would add the collective defending is allowing Hazard to make that difference so far.The only difference between us and them is Hazard-quality player, I thought Sanchez could be that guy for us, but so far he hasn't shown anything like that
Past evidence disproves that. I think this team deserves criticism but this is undeserved.The team lacks the character to pick themselves up.
Our way of playing will never change under Jose. This won't improve but that does not mean we won't win trophies. Our performance today has been somewhat expected to be fair.Dont agree.We could sign Messi and we would still be coached in this dire positional rigid way. Manager is to blame
He was propped up at Arsenal by his entire team and his teammates knew how to pass decently, nothing of the sort here.Alexis' worst game in the United shirt so far. Not the first but definitely the worst. Awful.
There's always American footballIf Lingard isn’t taken off first I’m giving up football: the lad is both a cnut and shit at football.
Mastic and Lukaku are the two leaders in the team, and we're currently missing 50% of them.They did it against City when 2-0 at the Etihad and against this same Chelsea team at OT
Ye wanna change it @Damien is this possible?I guess. It's always surprising when someone uses their real name as a username though.
A lot of it is on Jose. He picks Jones over Bailly, gives young a new contract.the sooner the 4 clowns we have at the back go the better
