At a point I couldn't even watch again, I just focused on my FM, and that was before the goal. There was no plan to carry the ball through the midfield to attack, as it was always long balls that unless you're Drogba, defenders always have the upper hands. The team couldn't string quality passes together and it was shameful. I know we're away and a draw which is just a point should be celebrated but I was more concerned with how we play and not just the result. We could drop points and play a great game and I'll be satisfied knowing we could have also easily have won the match, but it's not the case with Jose's team. The psychological effect of this is that the team automatically switches to defense mode when away from home against any team of average quality. A draw away from home will now be celebrated as a masterclass. I have stopped trolling shekpe long time ago because this our coach dey vex me.

I look at City team and I don't understand how the gap is this wide. Their defenders are not better, same with attackers. Their midfield is slightly better, but it just looks like this because they keep the ball and make the ball work for them. It becomes more annoying when I read things like he has a pattern that has won him numerous trophies. Na here we go dey abi next match the team will score 4 goals playing nonsense against weaker teams and we will be seeing things like master class.

I just feel for Lukaku playing beside Mhki. It can be very frustrating

"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."

Good one. I was also going to say this about our midfield. Matic, Herrera and Mkhitaryan are slower in movement than Kate, Bakayoko. Perhaps, the reason our defenders were coming into midfield to halt Chelsea.

We are very fast at the back and front but slow in the middle of the park. If Fellaini started we could have distorted them with long balls, and if Pogba were available we could hold the ball better.

I read Lingard was about to come in for Mkhitaryan before the goal, then Mourinho changed his mind and called Lingard back. That shows he knew we needed some speed in midfield. The team will learn from this.

Man City now have 8 points lead over Man United. The biggest point gap between the 1st and 2nd in the history of EPL after 11 games. The league is ours.


Manchester is Blue.

Bruv...warri no dey carry last...at all at all na draw! I don drop am for oga

At least Man United are improving unlike last season, they've managed to reduce the 4-0 to 1-0 this season but not the L .......hahahah

Don't let the Lukaku was missing in this game distract you from the fact that Man United had one shot on target in 95mins of play!

Nitrogen forgot that he's a supposed to be an inert gas.

you're quite right,people tend to underestimate d extent of our injury woes,matic and Herrera have been playing constantly for some time,so fatique must have crept in,micki has been very poor,but d more disturbing fact is that I know that Mata won't offer anything better that's y I'm not always on mickis case...we really miss pogbas presense in that midfield,its no coincidence that micki,lukaku and our general team play has reduced in his absense..

finally lukaku is not really a good player,peeps here can absorb him all they want that he wasn't given chances blah blah,but d fact remains that he was puss poor,can't hold d ball,can't bring others to the game..he's quite big and still can't win aerial balls,that's what annoys me the most..but all d same,we lost to a very good team..forget this talk of Chelsea not inform,Chelsea vs Manu isn't really about who's in form or not,both teams normally bring their A game,and considering the fact that its against mou,its more motivation for them..but the players need to take more responsibility on d pitch

Oasis007 hello.

One time for Asap yamz

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

Okay.

Nevertheless I can't absolve Jones of any wrongdoing. He didn't block Azpili's cross, didn't force him into making a mistake or to put in a poor cross, and above all, he didn't in any way contribute in defending the goal. All he did was to create a space for Alfa Blue to run into which pulled Smalling out of his position.
