Nothing clear cut though and gave up control of the game. No one was carrying the ball forward like Mata was. We sat back far too keep and let their defenders set up and get in the box. You could see it coming after the subs, that's what hurts.We actually had several openings after he went off. Herrera, Sanchez and Lukaku all had decent opportunities to kill it.
Yeah he was solidI'm a big Smalling critic but he was amazing today
He was better in the second, but then him and Pogba were just standing around and not reacting at the end for their goalMatic was good in the second half. Won many balls in midfield during the last 30 minutes. Lukaku wasn't too bad himself
They were singing feck off Mourinho after the coach provoked him.What was the 3 titles jab all about . He having a dig at the Chelsea fans?
For FA only second image matters thoughTweet

Deliberate provocation
“Fight”. It’s all just pointless platitudes from this lot. Better that these well compensated players show some quality - multiple opportunities to kill the game at 2-1.Yes our season likely is fecked, but at least we are showing some fight, which has been missing lately. That defending is making Ed look more stupid by the day.
he should get his P45 for that. No class.Marco Ianni, second assistant coach to Sarri, according to TV & Reddit.

Funny enough we conceded when we went for the result and stopped playingWhere are all the people who wanted entertainment over results?
I presume you mean who came off? The subs on were right, but as you say Lukaku is awful, along with Matic. I don't think they have the energy levels we need.Mata and Martial were very good.
Pissed off about the subs. Gutted not to get the win as we needed those points.
Lukaku is terrible and so is Matic, but Mourinho refuses to take their useless asses off.
Then he should have bought a better defender in the first place or improve Lindelof. Can't just keep buying defender after defender. Bailly is also his buy. There is more to managing/coaching than just buying ready made defenders. Like maybe not just sit deep and play defense against attack.Yes, but he has realised he isn't ready and asked for a more experienced defender. In case you forgot.
I agree. We are all too quick to bash the man but we do not show the same quickness to give him praise. Thats me told also because I'm not exonerating myself.We were excellent. Kudos to Jose on how we're setup. Man deserves some love in here
why is pep allowed buy defender after defender?Then he should have bought a better defender in the first place or improve Lindelof. Can't just keep buying defender after defender. Bailly is also his buy. There is more to managing/coaching than just buying ready made defenders. Like maybe not just sit deep and play defense against attack.
Yup, I haven't watched them much this season but agree. We have a better team overallGood performance overall. Deserved to win. Chelsea aren't a great side on an individual level - we are more talented IMO.
Would you prefer Man City or Liverpool?Chelsea are a disgusting lot, baffles me when our fans say they want them to win the league
Disagree. I think Bailly, Smalling definitely belong in a United shirt. Lindelof I dont know. Jones and Rojo should be out.We might actually win matches if we had defenders that could defend. None of Smalling, Jones, Lindelof, Bailly and Rojo belong in a utd shirt.
Utter wanker. Hope he is punished, but I won't hold my breath. He'll get what's coming to him.Marco Ianni, second assistant coach to Sarri, according to TV & Reddit.

He didn’t even jump for the Luiz header at the end which hit the post and led to their 2nd goal.....I'm a big Smalling critic but he was amazing today
The moment we get good defendersMy only question is when are we going to keep a clean sheet?
it was heart breaking live... especially since we deserved the winWtf I completely forgot we were playing this early, missed the match altogether. Late equaliser or not, a draw away to Chelsea is always a good result.
