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

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.

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.
Quite right. We are have one of the slowest midfield players in the league. The speed at which we pass the ball around is the slowest amongst the top 6 teams. In addition, the transition from defence to attack isn't what it should be and we don't have the player who can deliver that final pass.

But we have a run of fixtures which are very winnable. If we keep up with this confidence level we'll reduce the point gap by the end of the year or even be on top.

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
grin

Are you also an Einstein?! LOL!

Joke apart..... JM ain't helping the Lads to be courageous psychologically against the so called big Ish. What's big in Chelsea for God's sake?! We can't pin the Team lackadaisical performance on Injury coz its only Pogba the Team is missing presently.

JM is the problem, he's the one to be blamed, he's not special anymore, coz what so special in a Manager that can't perform better against big Teams?!

If it was United that got a Draw at Santiago, JM would have parked a double-decker Bus in the return Leg, and C. Ronaldo would have used us to win another Ballon D'Or.

Nothing is wrong with the Players, but the Manager's Tactics. Rose returns from Injury, he's back in the Spurs Team, and he's doing Fine. But JM still thinks Luke Shaw ain't ready yet. I can't ever appreciate Young playing as a Wing-Back or LB. He's trying though, but he's not the Answer. And I'm certain Luke Shaw would perform better than him if he gets the Opportunity.

Is it too late for Mourinho to change his Style? No! I believe he can play attacking Football as well, he's just too scared to play it in big Matches.

Even the attacking football is full of disjointed passes that breaks down before any havoc can be caused. We are left with moments of individual brilliance and not team brilliance to savor

He wasn't tracking Azpilicueta initially, it was when Azpilicueta kept advancing towards our area that he decided to track him.

The whole defensive set up was bad. Smalling being the centre of three man defence should never have gone out of position. If he stayed, there was no way an incoming area ball would beat him. He would even have directed the rest players to take positions. But he joined four others on the right, yet Chelsea still managed to pass us out of the that position into the middle.

It was a similar thing when Jones picked a yellow. Hazard escaped three markers before Jones hacked him down. Why crowding one player or the ball?

Zonal marking should have solved it. Three men at the back should have stayed tight leaving the rest to roam.

Pogba is back
Fellaini is back
Rojo is back

No excuse.

But next season, we might need to upgrade on Herrera and Mkhitaryan.
