Chelsea 0:0 Manchester United

Yakuza_devils · Feb 28, 2021

We can't score against small teams that sit deep and prone to concede goal in counter attack.

We can't score against big teams. In fact, we can't even pass the ball well against big team.

Those who think that next year we will be challenging for the title are in with a rude shock.

This team and manager are still far far away from becoming a real top team.

Didnt look like losing. should have had a pen.. werent people going to be happy with a 0-0 pre match ? Especially with no Cavani or Pogba..
Look at the bench.. the only attacking sub we had was Martial who is in horrendous form.. and that was with James and Greenwood starting..

Dull game though.. Not blaming injuries the 2-3 injuries.. that happens.. the squad lacks depth in attack.. we need a right winger and a proper 9. More than a CB.

DomesticTadpole · Feb 28, 2021

Just make sure you beat Palace midweek.

The McTom ball

Seeing Rashford and James absolutely annihilate Chelsea for pace only to see that pass really fecking sucked balls.

Don't worry either Rashford or James would have fecked it up had the ball reached them.

PoTMS · Feb 28, 2021

Today's result in isolation is not too bad. But this performance and result against the big boys is becoming far too acceptable. We have scored ONE single goal against all of them this season and even that came from a penalty in a game we ended up losing 6-1.

Harry190 · Feb 28, 2021

Although not in his prime anymore, Kante's been a thorn in our side all game long. Lost count of how many interceptions he made.

FrankDrebin · Feb 28, 2021

Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof and occasionally Fred were the only positives.

Edit: DDG not cocking up is another positive I guess.

This needs working on. I don't even remember the last time we were this bad against the traditional top six.

5 points from 24 against the traditional top six + Leicester.

Utterly pathetic

Viral United · Feb 28, 2021

Ref was the best player for Chelsea say it all.

A point is better than losing but how did we play? I couldn't watch it today but I will watch it later. Could we have won the game? Did we play well?

Don't. You can do better things with 90 whole minutes of your life. Watch the highlights, it will be roughly a two-minute video.

That you're talking bollocks? Yeah, absolutely.

Nope.

One dimensional Ole same tactics every single game. This isn't the brand of football United should be playing. Fact.

Zero goals against the traditional top 6 Fact

This is no different from how we played with Mourinho Fact

BusbyMalone · Feb 28, 2021

Well, I'll take the result 'cause I think it's a good one. But the "football" is not good. At all. We're fecking awful against the big sides this season.

I do think that being pragmatic we needed not to lose today

I’m not that unhappy about that result today. It’s more the pattern that is concerning. It was important not to lose today but it was a good opportunity to win. And we saw that at Anfield too. And against City when they hadn’t hit form. And against Chelsea at Old Trafford. It’s better to go for it sometimes and lose the odd one while we win the odd one.

big rons sovereign · Feb 28, 2021

The waah waahs are here, listen to them wail about patterns of play, tactics and other shite.
Today we have a new one, it's just like when Jose left :lol:

Yes and no. I think he knows the limitations of the players. I agree that he’s happy with the draw. If he had Scholes and Keane in midfield rather than McTominay and Fred? I think not.

Scholes and Keane won't be in a midfield in a club managed by Ole.

Massive Spanner · Feb 28, 2021

Our record against the big six is shocking and the blame falls on Ole.

R.N7 · Feb 28, 2021

Another victorious 0-0 draw by Solkjaer's plucky Manchester United.

Basically. This point means nothing if we feck up what should be a straight forward win.

wolvored · Feb 28, 2021

We are completely devoid of a plan to beat the bigger teams. Same old dire football. No one stood out.

Ronaldo's ego said:
Didn’t really want it. Ole needs to start instilling belief that we can win these games and not settle for a draw.

Ole first needs to be told we can win these games? Against Liverpool and city I get it. But against a struggling arsenal and now half decent Chelsea team.... Continued to play not to lose. Not good enough.

Woodzy · Feb 28, 2021

We played well, but obviously we were content with a draw.

With the title all but in the bag for City, i'd much rather we played it safe for a point considering the top 4 is so highly contested at the moment so not too disappointed.

Ceteris · Feb 28, 2021

Bruno needed Pogba in that midfield. I've seen influential players drop deep to get the ball but Burno stays in his position waiting for the ball.

Also why do united players stand and wait for a pass to arrive at their feet rather than run unto a ball?

Superden · Feb 28, 2021

Also thought the three players im not keen on at all, Fred, James and Lindelof all put in a good shift. Some of the expectations are way out of sync with reality..

Agree the bench was seriously lacking attacking options.

pascell · Feb 28, 2021

Cowardly gameplan, first thought is not to lose, rather than trying win the game.

We missed Pogba massively in the middle today.

Schmeichel's Cartwheel · Feb 28, 2021

it’s undeniable that our record against the top 6 is appalling, but it’s a good point against an in form team. I’ll take it. Onwards & upwards. Not one to watch the highlights of :lol:

chiz2kul · Feb 28, 2021

How did Dan James last 90 mins? United really depend on the counter attack way too much

Our approach isn't that of a team who wants to win the league. We're so happy to take a point, it's not exactly the sort of football we should be aiming for.

Yorkeontop · Feb 28, 2021

Nothing.

Stookie · Feb 28, 2021

Bloody awful.

Rustyspider13 · Feb 28, 2021

Nothing new. The opposition DM always has a good game against us, Kante, Partey, Fernandinho. And with the injuries to our midfield, we lack the quality to bypass them. McT and Fred have their strengths but incesive passing isn't one of them. If we could bring Pogba and Cavani on, we win that game. Such a shame. Oh, and the ref can kick a wall.

Robertd0803 · Feb 28, 2021

Ffs. So frustrating.

Denied another penalty only adds to the frustration.

DomesticTadpole said:
One day a referee will show some balls and book Chelsea players for surrounding the referee.

Or for something, ANYTHING! They kicked the living shit out of Dan James all afternoon and not even a warning. Much like in the FA Cup semi-final last season.

Fracture90 · Feb 28, 2021

We got no ambition in the big games, Ole seems to be content with sitting back and waiting for a chance on the counter, if a chance doesn't present itself, then a draw is ok.

ManUnitedCanuck · Feb 28, 2021

We weren’t the best, had our chances though

Ref was absolutely terrible and it influences the match

Fecking, fecking, fecking awful. I'm frankly sick of seeing it now.

A coward of a manager. Played a full 70 minutes with no real ambition to win that match.
Having McTominay and Fred sit against the CBS in basically a back 6.
Yet again, a big game where we play like a 15th placed team.
Can't see the difference against big teams between Jose and Ole.

No substitutes. Yet again.

City come soon. Will be the same tactics. Yet again.

This is becoming typical. And frankly I'm sick of seeing it.

There is none.

And yet Tuchel is the one who started with 3 centrebacks at home

I will be happy with four points from two away games. Another draw, especially against Palace. We owe them a beating.
