It's efficient. They knew all they needed was one goal and they could sit on it. I would be delighted if United were top and got this result.

Adam-Utd · Apr 18, 2015

Tyler Blackett must be utterly thick or something? Why why why do you grab a shirt when somebody is running off the pitch you just know they're gonna hit the floor. Such a waste of time

Boycott · Apr 18, 2015

We won't score. Played well though. Positives to take.

Burrow · Apr 18, 2015

That masked guy was Fabregas all along!???

Chorley1974 · Apr 18, 2015

come on Reading

Freak · Apr 18, 2015

Blackett is an idiot. Giving away silly fouls and not providing the overlap.

Why? They've won the game. Winning isn't pathetic.

Their fans chants are as boring and insulting to the game as their … football !

Best atmosphere in the south of England though, as says Tyler.

Real Madrid fleeced us.

Raw · Apr 18, 2015

Yeah Fabregas, take your time.

Twat.

Mourinho is a master tactician.
He analyses the strengths/weaknesses of his team and his opponents.
Then creates a plan to beat the opponent.
After that, its upto the players on the pitch to implement that plan.
This is why he is arguably the best football manager in the World.

Oh please, if you think winning today is down to tactics then you are deluded. His analysis in the CL also failed. This Chelsea team is limping over the finish line.

The to-be champions parking the bus at their own home ground? He can be as masterful as he wants, it's still embarrassing.

Golo · Apr 18, 2015

Why was fecking Blackett brought on, we completely lost our rhythm after he came on....

RuudTom83 · Apr 18, 2015

result is not important today, if you had to come to any conclusions from today's match you would say Chelsea have more issues that United.

Well Played United with all the changes.

dannyrhinos89 · Apr 18, 2015

Can't decide who's worse Blackett or januzaj

Neither should be wearing a United shirt

And people need to stop being bitter blaming Chelsea/Mourinho and their tactics, do whatever it takes to win. It's our fault we couldn't today.

Agreed 100%.
We shouldnt expect Chelsea to allow us to win.
We knew before the game started that Chelsea were going to play the match, to win by 1 goal - thats all they need. So, hitting us on the counter (and parking the buss) was the best way to achieve that.

BringNaniBack · Apr 18, 2015

Is time for subs actually suppesed to be added on if they are made in added time? Because it never is.

bosnian_red · Apr 18, 2015

We would've beaten them full strength, oh well. Didn't expect much with the players out yet we still dominated, they're just good at closing games down.

Baxter · Apr 18, 2015

Feel like it was there for us with a proper midfield.

Also, as great as he is (was), Di Maria always seems like he's playing for himself. Having said that, minor gripes. Expected this result, not a bad showing.

Thats utter bollox tbh, he is always tracking back, pressing, and he is an assists machine (selfless player atribute)

Well a win is a win... They usually play like this don't know how but somehow they always win playing badly

Chelsea have managed this game very well. We have been disjointed, bitty, and tentative in our passing. Haven't created many chances and those few we have had we've wasted, miserably. QPR were more of a threat to Chelsea than we have been.

Raoul · Apr 18, 2015

World class time wasting by Joe-Say.

His "master tactics" consist of sitting back with 10 men behind the ball.

Woodzy · Apr 18, 2015

Time wasting master class.

Art Vandelay · Apr 18, 2015

2 subs should have 30 seconds each added on for them, but there won't be.

He really needs to go out on loan and get plenty of game time.

Couldn't agree more!

cnut dean better be adding 2 mins on this.

Time wasting tactics.

Embarrassing stuff from the champions elect.

Probably won't score a late goal today, but we've done it a fair bit this season.

Er i was talking about late goals to rescue points.

He's not wrong, mind.

What? Are we happy to win 1-0, against a top side in great form when we are close to winning the league and have a 37 year old striker playing up front and most of us would have taken a draw?

Yes yes I am

G.Nev is trying too hard to be unbiased.

It's a fair choice. Only player to make the difference.

Phil · Apr 18, 2015

They're such an easy team to hate and not due to success.

This being an example, 2 subs 1 after the other and making both players go to the other side of the pitch and walk off.

Drifter · Apr 18, 2015

Jose master of the time wasting. Sucks the life out of games.
