Don't let the 3 points and win distract you from the fact that the referee disallowed a clear goal

What exactly did he go into that midfield to do? The guy he went to mark still ran into our box resulting in Smalling tracking him and the space was created.

There was no one in central defence while Chelsea were building. Smalling, Bailly, Matic all joined Valencia and Herrera on the right side of our defence. When the ball came to the middle, Jones was trying to track Bakayoko, but the ball didn't go to him, so Jones tried to stop Azpilicueta from making use of the ball since he was already out of position. At that point, Matic should have been slotting in for Jones. But Matic failed to track Bakayoko run into our box which got Smalling confused.

At the end, it was man marking that caused all the confusion. If all three defenders were to stick together throughout, and midfielders allowed to do with the first markings, it would have been a better match for us in my opinion.

This is the goal. (Bad network won't allow me to make a gif)

After watching the replay, I think Jones is at fault the most. Matic (or even Young) should be the one marking Azpillicueta, not Jones. Bakayoko ran into the space he created and drew Smalling away from Morata. That's how the goal happened.

I have watched the replay many times. I think I have to exonerate Jones.

There is a Chelsea player (number 21), who Young was keeping an eye on. Jones was right to go for Azpilicueta as everyone else went to the right. We were five players against three Chelsea players on the right.

Matic saw Azpilicueta advancing towards our box, Jones was going backwards but instead of Matic to go take out Azpilicueta, he was also running into our box area. As Azpilicueta kept advancing, Jones went for him, Matic however stopped tracking back freeing Bakayoko

Jones coming out to track Bakayoko, Matic is monitoring the situation. Matic is the player close to the ref.

What were five United players doing against 3 Chelsea players. Meanwhile Young is against Zappacosta who is currently blind to the camera view.

Now Matic is still keeping an eye on the situation. He has to decide whether to fill in for the central defender or go for Bakayoko

Jones going back and Matic going back. No one is tracking Azpilicueta and there is no way Jones knows if central defence is vacated by Smalling and Bailly (After all Jones can only see two United players ahead of him . Matic has a better view of the situation.

As Azpilicueta kept advancing into our area, dangerous area, Jones decided it's time to stop him, after all Matic is tracking back.

But as soon as Jones stopped going back, Matic halt his movement.

Now you can see why Ashley Young couldn't move. Zappacosta was right there.

Overall, if we played zonal marking instead of man marking in open play, there was no way two of the defenders wouldn't be in the box waiting for long balls to clear. 5 players were drawn to the right leaving the center open.

It looks like Mourinho told them to go press for the ball as soon as Chelsea got it. But it backfired

That we lost isn't the ish, I'm yet to understand what our game plan was all about, we weren't attacking with any conviction nor were we resolute in defence, Chelsea had us split open time after time as it was obvious our center backs didn't know who they were supposed to mark...Mou shouldn't have waited till we were a goal down to alter the formation and personnel, he could have been more proactive...Mhkitaryan has been serving us shiit or rather served us shiit for the entirety of the first half, why persist with him when you have an arguably better player in Mata on the bench. Very poor performance today.

Mata wasn't among the substitute bench.

Can you imagine? Mou thinks Mata isn't physically suited to go up against that Chelsea team but across the street is Pep doing wonders with players of similar stature...For Mou, it's all about physicality...

He even failed at his official duty today sef. Couldn't man-mark Hazard at all.

Kante is not worthy tall enough to wipe Herreras boots.
