Chelsea 0:0 Manchester United

RedChisel · Feb 28, 2021

We've been the better team and should win this. You wouldn't think so with all the incessant whining on here though.

UncleBob · Feb 28, 2021

Bizarre decision making again from Rashford, box is full of United players and the ref is just waiting to blow the whistle, so he holds on to the ball and tries to go past two Chelsea players instead of just going for the cross right before half-time. Need to slap some sense into him

Hugh Jass · Feb 28, 2021

Not too bad a performance. Think one goal will be enough. It will come down to a mistake. De Gea nearly caught out already.

Missed about 3 yellow cards

This. Odoi and 2 blatant fouls without the ball. And you know that could be important.

Drz · Feb 28, 2021

How many Chelsea fouls have been waved off because of playing-on? Daniel James will be going home in a stretcher tonight given the ref's incompetence.

Great half of football that. Loving our aggresive high press. Sure, it may backfire, but we are having a proper go at all three points.

Great half?

united_99 · Feb 28, 2021

Worried we will be tired in the 2nd half and Chelsea have better options and pace on the bench.

How are they getting away with so many obvious screens.

Agree, happened few times the off the ball player taken out, this ref cant see feck all.

Superunknown · Feb 28, 2021

That's a standard, typical top 6 game, these days. Tight, cagey...and absolutely dull as feck. The odd game here and there can be good, but on the whole, they're boring.

FrankDrebin · Feb 28, 2021

They've got more game changers on the bench. So Tuchel would be quite content with the way things are going at the moment.

RUCK4444 · Feb 28, 2021

That’s a penalty, stone wall, unnatural position, movement towards the ball, he can see the ball at all times.

It literally ticks every box in the rule book for a handball, the replay only highlights that, no idea why this absolute clown didn’t agree.

MileStolar · Feb 28, 2021

Bruno invisible. Greenwood class when he has the ball but will he ever learn to impose himself on the match more? He needs to start influencing games with the talent he has, otherwise it's just a waste of it. He's so young still and hopefully it will come. Chelsea really good and hard working in defense.

Acole9 · Feb 28, 2021

Been an alright match for a 0-0, seen plenty of dire ones recently.

Not sure why the commentators are suggesting the handball incident is a 50/50 decision, I’m equally not sure why they say that was an equal half. We were clearly the better team even if chances have been few and far between. James needs to come off though, he’s getting bullied out there.

I know. It's 100% a penalty. We've been done. Can't believe Tyler refused to say it was a pen, and then Neville just sat there and went along with it being a 50/50.

Idxomer · Feb 28, 2021

The lack of technical ability on the right side is hurting us big time. McTominay, James and AWB are very ineffective there and turning it into a bit of slogfest with Chelsea players.

always_hoping · Feb 28, 2021

A decent and even contest. United could and would be leading with another ref as I believe VAR was giving that penalty.

Decent half. Rashford and James being wank again doesn't help. Fred has been great

Rashfords not been bad at all.

manunited1919 · Feb 28, 2021

How could that not be a penalty, he handled the ball at shoulder height, that’s not a natural position of the hands at all.

On the other hand, I’m glad it wasn’t given, if we are to win this game we need to create chances and play better.

mitchmouse · Feb 28, 2021

Need to be right on our game at start of second half. it may just be a dream, but I feel we always concede early in second half at SB. We aren't playing well enough to come from behind today

RedIan · Feb 28, 2021

Chelsea started very well, great passing football but created very little - We bossed the last 20 minutes of that half, just need to keep at it and a chance will come. Great high pressing, dont see that often.

Maroon Lucifer · Feb 28, 2021

We are nearly in to Italy v South Korea territory. This is scandalous refereeing.

you cant even qualify what were doing with the ball going forward as attacking

There's a middle ground between what City and 'pool do and what we do, not sure we'll ever find it under Ole. Allegri lives there I believe.

Random Task · Feb 28, 2021

Tuchel has this Chelsea side organised and difficult to break down. He's also not stupid enough to allow us to play on the counter as much as we'd like.

Both sides are set up not to lose. A single goal wins this game.

hubbuh · Feb 28, 2021

Chelsea are quite dirty, aren't they? Refs letting lots of late little niggly challenges go.

Obvious penalty not given to boot. We're at least playing positively, despite not creating much. Giroud's missed diving header aside, Chelsea aren't interested in playing. Frustrating half.

Saddy · Feb 28, 2021

Martial for James at half time

Red_Aaron · Feb 28, 2021

Sluggish start but we're in control by the end.

We look the better side, need to make sure we press on a win it and not let it drift into another bore draw

Come one though. He was asked a simple question. Have an opinion for once in your life. It won't kill you. I've never liked him. He drones on about the most inane shite

It happens every game, could be another example of us not being streetwise as we always seem to want to play on. Teams stop the cynical fouls when the refs keep giving freekicks

They suck. But they make less mistakes, so we suck more. We could DESTROY them if we had in-form Pogba and Cavani in this team right now.

Even if this was bad from both teams, I think we edged it. They are afraid of us !

He said as a sixth forward you're probably not going to find better.

Fair enough

Jack-C20 · Feb 28, 2021

I really want to say something positive so... clean sheet for the first half eh? Something needs to change drastically in the second half in our all round game.

MattofManchester · Feb 28, 2021

Dull game. Our style against big teams is too safe and stifles the creativity that we already struggle with.

Fred and McTominay hurt our scoring chances as well when together.

AWB having a mare on the ball.

Oof.

RUCK4444 · Feb 28, 2021

Twice this ref should have brought it back for yellow cards and didn’t. Cnut.

Chelsea players only have to shout to get a foul

I hate that they don't replay them "fouls"

Reminds me of PSG cheating fecks..

Still ill · Feb 28, 2021

I quite enjoyed that. I like the hustle, the pressing. I feel we finished well on top, we just need a little more composure when we're on it, we'll find a pass eventually. James is not getting the breaks but he's pressing like a lunatic, forcing mistakes. What do people think we'd be getting from Martial?

Matt851 · Feb 28, 2021

Hmm not sure how to feel like that. Think we have been the better side and fairly decent but have basically created nothing. Missing a focal point up front which we always seem to do when greenwood plays there, if we had cavani we would have the option of crossing the ball rather than just passing it back from wide positions

They have two players marking Bruno. They're also doubling up on Shaw. That's our two biggest chance creators out of the game

passing-wind · Feb 28, 2021

Second half changes is where we could slip, if Chelsea decide to put an extra player through the middle we will have difficulty. We lack real options on the bench. We seeing why a winger is more important than a striker, its the small details that count.

ManUnitedCanuck · Feb 28, 2021

Someone please go back to 41:25 of the match and watch Dan James, watch the complete trip that the ref sees because he’s going to blow the whistle....how is it not a yellow?
