Second half was the game I expected, with United's players turning up the motivation. Seems even against big opponents they need to be behind for that, though. Chelsea were poor for most of the game. They wouldn't have scored their first without Pogba forgetting about Rüdiger, and they looked rattled after the equalizer. Not a good home performance. Both teams can't really be content with that game, although Chelsea won a point in the end and United lost two.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
What has Bailly done in a United shirt?
1. 2 headers scored with no defender in sight
2. 6 minutes added... When was the last time we saw that? Was their an injury i missed?
3. Goal in the last 10 seconds
Oh and yeah, Mou will get penalized for that reaction at the end, after Chelsea staff provocation.

Repeat of the Newcastle game. Pretty godawful first half. Started to give a shit in the second half. Comebacks are cool and all, but why do we start so poorly and have such extended spells of barely being able to string two passes together?
Man for man, that Chelsea side should be nothing for us to fear, but for large parts of the game we made ourselves look like massive underdogs.
Chelsea should probably be punished for their lot pratting around like that over a fecking equaliser at home, but probably won't be. Jose was once sent off for putting one foot on the pitch. The whole of their club's staff structure came bulldozing out of the tunnel and through United's technical area, whilst the stewards parted to let them through, but I predict the media will focus on Jose's reaction and not the two acts of provocation. BBC are already reporting it as "Mourinho involved in bust up", obviously.

and keeper after keeper after keeper, midfielder after midfielder after midfilder etc etc
fecking idiots.
probably his solid goal scoring record over many years fooling mourinho
Because it sends a message to play defense vs attack. Takes out the threat of Rashford's pace.
A lot of kids in that thread, were giving up completely.
Some said that they will switch off, etc.
Some people have a such a loser's mentality. We go down 1 goal and they give up. WTF!
Hazard, Kanté, Jorginho, Willian, Kovacic, Alonso, Azpilicueta and probably Pedro would walk into United's 11.
When we attacked them, they shat the bed, we can still put the fear of god into teams when we actually go for it.
Sadly this. Could see it coming a mile off.
This.
We're all happy with the upturn but let's not pretend Mourinho planned all this. Had he had his way our goalscorer would probably have been playing for the opposition.
Maybe they don't have the quality? If not at least show some fight and pride. Up until the last two games we have had neither. Funny enough all carry on at the end might actually fire us up even more.
His Lukaku love will cost him eventually. I cant understand why he subbed Mata but Martial ??
Should never have taken both Martial and Mata at the same time.
Well a point at Bridge is always a point earned. So well done Jose.
Note: I hope this game showed people that we have some good players if we decided to attack. Hopefully enough to nick into top 4 though (no other expectations)

You’ve never played a game of football in your life, have you?
He had some good games... also some games where he looked terrible but he atleast has shown some good moment. Lindelof his best moments were when he wasnt looking terrible.
Almost every game we are let down by our defense. Guess Jose knows a bit more about football than Eddy Woody and the average forum-goer. Sorely lacking an experienced head at the back to organize and calm things down, especially in the final minutes of games.
Shame that. The lads were up for this even with the shaky first half and there seemed to be a true camaraderie among the team. Maybe that siege mentality is finally kicking in, albeit a bit late. Martial, Mata, Young, all immense.

Not sure why you would complain about defenders not being able to defend and then name Smalling. He was one of our best players and basically did everything he could, completely dominating Morata and even Giroud once he came on.
Similar to the Newcastle game. Great fight and improvement and finally 2 games in a row from us that were really entertaining.
In the end we lost 2 points but this is football. I hope we will take on Juve as well and we will stop giving away such cheap goals.
And I loved Jose‘s „3 here“ gestures. That stuff never gets old.

Jose....."awful result for us, phenomenal for Chelsea"
I at least thought he was some hold over from Jose's time who hated him. Are we sure he doesn't have a history with Jose in Italy?
Unbelievable some stuff posted here
Yes
You are right. They will use this as supporting evidence to ban him for what he allegedly did after Newcastle.
Poor subs and love for Matic/Lukaku cost us a win in my opinion.
Good to see some fight. Mata was brilliant.

Matas attitude when he slaughtered Azpilicueta was admirable. That's what you want to see all the time. A terrible way to lose the game but man, it was nice to see some aggressive pressing by United.
You can’t doubt his goal scoring record but he shouldn’t be starting for United. A lamp-post has more composure.
I’ve played at a significantly higher level than you and I will leave it at that.
He should have won that header.
As much as it hurts there's a lot of positives to take from that.
For those saying that wasn't entertaining please just give up watching football

Don’t know his name, all I know is he ran like a chicken from a 55 year old. Proper hard man.
pretty sure he planned for us to win the game today
the martial thing is probably made up by journalists anyway, a lie to fool emotional fans
And then he didn't clear that cross for 2.2. Was nowhere there.
The moment we sit back we concede. Wonder when Mou will ever learn
Because they have more money and a limitless budget.
How about you compare to Klopp/Sarri/Poch/Emery etc?
What an idiot. I hope the crowd make his life hell when Chelsea play at Old Trafford.
They didnt create a chance till the last second. It didnt even make a huge difference. This is just football.
I thought he was brilliant in his first season and was a nailed on starter for us.
Feel lost with this team.
We approach games infuriatingly poorly. Every single game.
But of course we nearly got what would be a fantastic result in the end.
Chelsea’s mistake was not getting out of second gear in the first half.
We were lucky at times (Alonso), and fecked at the end with too much added time. We shouldn’t change the way we play at the end of games though. It’s stupid.

I usually criticise Talksport, but they stuck up for Jose today regarding that Newcastle charge.
I’m not in the ball game of telling fibs on the internet.
If you think he should have won that header (given the run Luiz had and the flight of the ball) then there is a wonderful game called tiddlywinks that you can take up instead.
There’s probably a forum they have in which you can tell lies on, too.
