United with a smash and grab. They look much better when they actually attack

Great save one end great finish the other. Games like this are decided on small margins.

Not really IMO, its been a nothing game.
If either side scored the second I wouldn't have been surprised.
United didn't bother in the first half, at least this half they've seemingly tried to attack and it's made for a better game. Probably not saying too much as the first half was boring.

JM knows how to play against possession teams.

I said it last week .. Chelsea are really not that good, and will not challenge for the league. So reliant on Hazard, though I expect they will still comfortably get third.

They've beaten up a few of the smaller sides, but I really am not impressed with them in any of their big games (United, Arsenal, Liverpool). Losing the former, and in the other two I thought both teams created more than enough chances to beat them.

People got carried away with some nice one touch football, still a long way to go for Sarri there.

Chelsea have been garbage since the equaliser.

I thought they looked vulnerable at times against us and Arsenal.
Agreed, they great to watch, they remind me of City in Pep's first season. When the pressure is on, the game plan abandons them at time and they find it a little harder to enforce their style.

This got tasty right at the end.

I want to see what happened on the bench.

Just seen it actually, one of the Chelsea staff got in his face when celebrating.

Amazing by David Luiz to get that header on target, amazing by DDG to save from Rudiger.

Great second half of football. The players were up for it. A lot of running from our players, the effort was excellent.

Much more entertaining second half. Martial’s goals were very good. Draw is a fair result overall. Enjoyed the handbags at the end, can’t blame Jose that guy was being a right dickhead.

Chelsea fans at the end singing “feck off mourinho” to their most successful manager ever was some top quality plasticity.

That was deserved. All that time wasting was ridiculous when United were the team on the front foot at the time.
