So pleased for Casemiro. Having McTominay on the field is worse than a man down. Played for a draw, lucky to come away with one.

Fair result in the end. We lack depth in the forward options and it showed in the second half

Two points dropped but I liked that. We pushed for the equaliser and were good enough to get it. How it used to be.

I love this team. There are missing pieces, but the foundations for success are clearly there.

Would have been criminal to lose that game. Feels like we should have won. It clear we need a clinical striker as we had great chances to win that

We played well and deserved a win but a draw away to Chelsea is not the end of the world. The front three let us down big time, with the way we dominated the first half, they should have been able to score.

Right result in the end. Mature performance, brain fart for the pen aside.

We really need to score when on top though, we were all over them same as the Spurs game. Get a striker and we will be some team.

Loved some of the one-touch passing triangles. We're playing with a high technical skill, at pace at times. We're getting there.

I should be happy but I'm so unbelievably angry with how we gave away that penalty :lol:

Have to give credit to Elanga for the run. Game of two halves Chelsea looked toothless, they aren't a team that screams danger in the attack like Arsenal / City this season. Same narrative for United prolonged periods of control but no rewards. Clinical players particularly in the striker position is needed with movement. Not a stagnant forward.

Win, Loss , whatever. We are a proper team now. Just the beginning but we have all the fundamentals to succeed.

Pissed off that we gave them a penalty, which is more than they deserved, imo.

Delighted with Casemiro getting the equaliser. We didn't deserve to leave Stamford Bridge with nothing.

Annoyed with our attackers, who didn't do an awful lot and fluffed a few great chances. Get in 2 world class strikers, and we win this game. Easily. We were the better team.

loved the spirit, loved the control up to the 65th minute. Loved the ending. But we should have won that. Still, decent performance from the team other than the finishing, as always.
sancho needs to work harder in training.

Massive goal from Case. 1-1 is infinitely better. We lacked energy in the second half, the intensity in the Spurs game took it's toll. We need a better squad

Main points:

  • Rashford can't finish.
  • Antony needs to work on his weak foot.
  • Sancho needs to make runs, so many times he got the ball from someone expecting him to make a run and he wasn't on the front foot so the move was squandered.
  • McTominay is an airhead.

United need a striker desperately.

We need a striker. Rashford can't hold the ball up front.

Sancho needs time on the bench.

McTominay is brainless.

Fingers crossed it's not so bad for Varane. Would be gutted to miss WC.

We are starting to play some really nice stuff getting, into good positions and then nobody seemingly wants to pull the trigger.

This is becoming a good team. Very good in fact. Starting a long way back from the best teams unfortunately, but liking how the team’s doing.

Goo first half, faded a bit in the second half. Not good for Varane. Didn't deserve to lose that. Great scenes at the end. Stamford Bridge is always a hard ground

You’ll always take a point away at Stamford Bridge.

Key takeaways:
1. We’re improving.
2. We desperately need a striker.
3. McTominay is a halfwit.
4. Varane is going to be a huge miss.

What do we have to do to get an early goal? ETH must be so frustrated.
Got a point despite McT, oh well...

2 points dropped. They never played as well as we did for the first half an hour, I’m disappointed we didn’t score earlier in the game cause they weren’t anything special today.

How did we start the 2nd half?
I watched the 1st and then got back on at 70' mins.

How serious is Varane's injury?

Classemiro….was fantastic the entire game and it would have been a travesty it we’d come away from that game pointless, it’s only a point difference but massive in confidence and self belief

We were definitely the better team. A draw would have been a huge disappointment given the utter domination in the first half.

- Casemiro brilliant
- Varane :(
- Martinez and Dalot excellent
- Bruno good
- WHAT ON EARTH DO WE DO ABOUT MCFRED? It's too much to ask to carry these two clowns.
