Frustrating. Besides the Rooney shot we haven't really created a clear cut chance. Agree that we're dominating play, but it seems Chelsea have been happy to sit back and play on the break, so I'm not sure that's such a great achievement.

Decent enough half reall, especially the first 25 minutes or so. Not really creating much though which is a bit of a shame.
Falcao hasn't had much of the ball and it's not sticked when he has got it. Fele, Young and Mata, all players who've been great in recent weeks having a bit of an off day.
Hopefully he won't!
Is that a red?
Says the guy whose username is BringNaniBackThis is pretty smash and grab really. If we can keep this kind of play up till the end of the season, we would be set up well for a title challenge next season.Need Fellaini to get into the box more. Valencia and Shaw doing well, Falcao hopefully is fired up.Don't understand the people berating us for not creating chances. They have packed the bus.I believe we can turn this back.
he is and so is everyone...
yes...and Falcao has not been poor. He is being man marked well...by the thug.
I think we will get the breakthrough...Ooooooh, Sourness doesn't rate United shocker
Considering the changes we've had to make I think we've looked pretty decent on the ball if not particularly threatening, so the philosophy does seem to be embedded somewhat.Pointless possession. Get Di Maria on for Mata.Great first 35 minutes considering we're away against Chelsea with a make shift team, really disappointed to be behind but if we continue the way we are in terms of possession and also become more clinical we can win this.
Not a foul on Falcao I don't think, needs to be stronger.Blatant foul, studio unanimous.
That's not right. The ball was just about inside. De Gea was safe. United have been good. But it looks like letting United have the ball was the plan for Chelsea. United haven't created much. Chelsea knew they could hit on the counter and have done that.
Falcao has not been poor as it is being made out. He just lost the ball once.
The Chelsea attack was a foul on him.
Still think Di Maria might be helpful here.Might as well throw Falcao's agent on.
Mata will score a hat trick now, don't worry.If this is the very best teams then the English teams are shite!YES - falcao was fouled. Even Souness says so.FOULcaoWe dominated the league leaders at their own home.
Rooney should've put that chance away on 3/4 mins. Absolutely criminal he missed that.Could see it coming a mile off, they are soaking all the pressure then breaking.
We need more cutting edge in the final 3rd, way too casual, always passing backwards..
Rooney should have scored too, had time to take a touch
If Hazard keeps on like this it won't take long for Real or Barcelona to come sniffing round. If he wins POTY especially, Real like taking our league best players.
Falc's mind is willing but his body has gone i'm afraid. His reactions, speed and strength are all well below what utd require. I expect him to be subbed for RvP some time soon.We've done pretty well. If Rooney scored that first one it would've been a very different game. All 3 on Sky think it was a foul on Falcao for once.Watch Valencia's foot, can't have been a redI am not moaning about Chelsea's way of playing football. They are good at it - and fair play to them. But I hope I never see my team put 10 players behind the ball and hope for a counter, at home against a team they aren't inferior to.
What I posted a few days ago.
When will teams learn that the better you look against us the worse the result!
I'd still take 1-1 mind, but hopefully we have the strength to hold on for once this season.Hmm, having just seen the Falcao incident, that was definitely a foul. Feckin' Dean.
Probably the same people begging for molasses van persie to come on.
Shaw did well in that half.
Oh no, I agree he has. But I feel we are lacking some attacking on that side. Valencia has been fine, one of his better games.Despite Chelsea being 1 up, we've obviously been the better team. We've kept possession well, pressed well, got into good areas. The only thing letting us down is we're not clinical enough in the final third. I think in the second half, it we continue to play how we've been playing we'll get a goal.
I do think that shithouse Mike Dean should have give a foul on Falcao, though. He's one ref I can't fecking stand. Everything about him just makes me sick, but what can we do?
Think if we cam continue to play the way we've been playing, we'll create good chances. Hopefully we can take them.
Rooney up o is no guarantee. He missed the best chance of the game with lots of space to place the ball wherever he wanted.70% possession. Chelsea haven't even tried to play football. You just knew they'd get a smash and grab. We'll probably lose this 2-0.
If we had everyone fit, I'd fancy our chances here. That said I think we are playing really well.Chelsea gonna Chelsea. Outplayed but gets a wank goal out of nowhere.
RvP upfront would be a massive boost. Falcao is just uselessI would like to see Fellaini more on the right side to be honest, instead of the left side. He now has to deal with Zouma and Ivanovic. Might be better if he's up against Zouma and a smaller (and not as good) fullback.Not sure LvG likes to see Falcao coming to deep to get a ball.- Status
