Oasis007: The Scoreline ain't a true Reflection of the Match to say the Truth. It could have been 4-0 or more..... thank God Chelsea's Striker is just a Camel - only good with Head.
Also Bakayoko proves himself as a Donkey, coz he missed clear cut Chances and finally Hazard is a confirmed Headless Chicken, coz he had his chances to kill the Game as well.
"I thought they got killed in midfield.Jose Mourinho, since the Liverpool game, has talked about not being able to freshen it up. I thought Herrera, Matic and Mkhitaryan got absolutely ambushed.
"(N'Golo) Kante was doing his job brilliantly, (Tiemoue) Bakayoko was running off him, (Eden) Hazard and (Cesc) Fabregas were dropping in and controlling the match. United were just well short in that area. If you dominate midfield in the big games, you're in business and Chelsea did. I think Pogba is a big miss because of his confidence and arrogance. He takes the ball into tight areas, holds the ball, beats a man. Michael Carrick, too - he delivers those passes up to strikers, to the side of defenders, and I think those two players would have made a big difference."
The intent by united was there but if you haven't got quality and composure in midfield, you're going to struggle. Passes weren't connected, whereas with Chelsea, there was rhythm in their passing. Chelsea had rhythm, United only had moments. For me, Fabregas was the man of the match because he got control of the game and that was the difference for me. Chelsea's midfield gripped this game. I don't feel Manchester United's midfield did."
"Were Chelsea deserved winners? Yes. I think United had 15 minutes at the start where they showed intent. There was a big chance for Marcus Rashford, a good chance for Lukaku about 20 minutes into the game, Chelsea started to get a handle on it and it was in midfield: Bakayoko's runs, Kante controlling the defensive line and - more importantly, Hazard starting to drop in with Fabregas."
"Manchester United started with real purpose and intent to go and damage Chelsea - you could see Jose Mourinho felt that if he could get that first goal, that this crowd could get anxious and the players might lose confidence. But from 20 minutes onwards, Chelsea were by far the better team. They really put in a good performance. You talk about them being champions last season and dropping off this year but that was a high level."
Donaldduke2019: Why are we still wailing, We dey 2nd, team wey beat us yesterday still dey 4th, In the closing minutes of the game, it was United throughout, By January you would know the real contenders of the league.......Btw can dortmund come and carry mkhi please
Loogan: Lol it must have been particularly frustrating for you watching Baka especially after those misses. Baka played more of a box to box midfield role and was absolutely effective defensively, he's our best mid destroyer after kante, I think you know our club and coach are defense first people...agreed he had a game where he went forward a lot to useless effect but that's one of the reasons we won games last season he was doing the forward pressing we saw kante do frequently last year, when kante was out baka seldom pressed forward because there was no one behind as cover especially in a 2 man mid...much as you don't like his abilities on the ball you can't deny his defensive talent. he's very good at those it was one of those excellent forward pressing that led to batshuayi second goal vs Watford. Just chill for the guy, I think we forget to fast that he's 22, not a lot of 22year olds are that good.
Who cares? Anyways... easy on the praises bruv before yoko will descend into another round of fvckery.
eph12: Maybe maybe not. Lukaku wasn't given tap in to score so we can never know
Datapoboi: From top.of d table. To 2 points behind,to 5 points behind to trailing by 8 points.
nitrogen: I can't believe that this mother.fucker spent about 400m in two years in order to play shyte against top teams. This is ridiculous, these days, nobody plays rubbish against the top six clubs, and expects to win the league. What the heck!
God, I watched Man City against Arsenal some hours before our game, and I couldn't hold it. Seamless free-flowing and attacking football. Yes, they lost concentration at some point, and their defence wasn't that okay, but I still couldn't hold it. How can a team has Aguero, Silva, Jesus, Debruyna (whatever that is called), Sane, Sterling, etc? What?
Jose should be careful, we win either the EPL or the Champions League, else he gets the sack at the end of the season.
Oasis007: United Form against big Teams is Jose Mourinho. He does give too much respect to the so called big Teams, which is affecting the Players' morale psychologically.
Ain't we playing a Team decimated by Roma without man-marking Hazard?! Do we always need to give special Attention to Hazard anytime United play them?!
When Martial was brought in, I couldn't say where he was playing. Martial is a Menace to the Opposition when plays on the left Wing, hence I expected Rashford to move to the right side, but JM thought otherwise.
Give Mourinho Man City to manage, and the Team will turn off their attacking play sharply, and switch to a defensive minded Team.
sinizia: Football is not all about tactics alone. You can spur the team and instill a kinda mentality that will see them play as champions. Create a belief that brings out the winning mentality in your lads.
Under SAF, we're renowned for coming back from Jaws of defeats to draw or win matches that nobody thought we'd win. Nowadays, such mentality is almost gone. When was the last we won or draw a top match from losing position?
Classic match during SAF time with us, Chelshit went 3 goals ahead, but the lads fought back to draw. SAF was more than a coach, he knew how to inspire the players to fight for every point. Nowadays, our comeback fire has been extinguished.
How can you term a ref that ruled out a legitimate goal, handed out dodgy yellow cards, and called so very soft fouls all to Manyoos advantage....Fair to both parties?
Unless Both Parties is a nickname for Manyoo that I didnt know about...
They need to investigate pl refs...they have been disappointing this season.e.g manCity got a dubious 3rd goal against arsenal today.
SIRcumalot: lukaku no dey get services but i still dey expect am to dominate all this moi-moi center backs see that christens fella, how that guy go dey muscle ukaku comot for ball ?
sinizia: I'm kinda glad that Morata didn't punish us well. If he's on form today, he'll tear us apart. Imagine say na Jesus, Sane and Sterling had those chances, na 5-0.
Azzzzzin...the misses were just funny aswear. Even bakayoko missed one too.
sinizia: Bro, trolling apart, if Lukaku had the chances Morata had, he'll score. Tell me one clear chance our players gave Ukaku? We're carved open with ease countless times, if Morata was world-class, he'd răped us non-stop.
Pdizzle: true. i back him to even get better. bakayoko and kante had great games, but both missed sitters. unimpressed. i think we are officially kante fc
Not backing him anything.... till I see him do it over and over again. I have no trust for the guy.
