Manchester United 2:1 Chelsea

ROFLUTION · Feb 25, 2018

ah, the Classic "Chelsea, Chelsea, cheeeeelsea" song

Traub · Feb 25, 2018

Seems we are incapable of kicking a dead ball.

Garethw · Feb 25, 2018

Is Lukaku playing as a winger? :lol:

Far too much socializing going on between the players

It is annoying. They should stop with this shit

Harry190 · Feb 25, 2018

We are weak.

Slevs · Feb 25, 2018

I swear Hazard only turns up when he's facing us.

crossy1686 · Feb 25, 2018

Would love to have a dead ball specialist in the team.

I presume if we're playing that way we'll be relying on Valencia overlapping him a lot.

I would assume so. We'll basically have to rely on Martial providing something for us because we aren't going to break down the middle, too many bodies.

DannyCAFC · Feb 25, 2018

Poor start from Martial, ruined two potential breaks already.

Chelsea passing it well but lack of press from United is making it easier. Rudiger and Christensen have both been able to bring the ball out from the back a long way of seperate occasions so far.

They look like they're planning to take advantage of the lack of natural width from United's FB's by pressing them high up the pitch and forcing them back or mistakes leading to loose forward passes.

C3Pique · Feb 25, 2018

Not showing up for a top 6 team once is forgivable. But it's every. Single. Time.

So predictable it's insane.

Irrational. · Feb 25, 2018

It's a 4-4-2 diamond with Martial and Lukaku up front.

Amar__ · Feb 25, 2018

What a shit free kick from a good position, do we even train things like this?

We're not great with a moving ball either.

crossy1686 · Feb 25, 2018

Why wasn't Pogba screaming for that ball to come square from Sanchez!?

Jazz · Feb 25, 2018

Martial now on the right. Lukaku somewhere. Sanchez somewhere and everywhere

Dobba · Feb 25, 2018

Good to see we're spreading the shit crosses around. Wouldn't want to be too reliant on one player for them.

Wait till you see our corners!

Mindhunter · Feb 25, 2018

We are very slow in the buildup and really really low on tempo. Very difficult to score against a top side with such slow football. I only see us scoring from a set piece.

Shane88 · Feb 25, 2018

Cut in. Cut in. Cut in. Cut in.

Same old cnuting shit.

12OunceEpilogue · Feb 25, 2018

Without any crisp passing in their half we're far too easy to crowd out. Lukaku wit ha good lay-off (again) to Sanchez who loses it because he has three blokes marking him and no passing options. Lingard would provide that out but may make us more porous in midfield (if you can imagine that!).

mitchmouse · Feb 25, 2018

we've had one break when sanchez was free and the ball went the other way. allowing them to control the game. getting a bit bored with that tactic...

Nick7 · Feb 25, 2018

Morata was miles open at the edge of the box there.

I think you’re right.

Please press. Please someone run, pass and move..

we look - by far - the worst team in the top 5

Yep. Despite having Sanchez, Martial, Lukaku, Lingard, Pogba and Rashford in our squad. It’s quite an achievement to make all of those look shite.

Random Task · Feb 25, 2018

Not afraid to get stuck Mctominay

Traub · Feb 25, 2018

Moses being made to look like a prime Robben here.

Trophy Room · Feb 25, 2018

Chelsea are making use of the width a lot better than us.

Silas · Feb 25, 2018

As long as it keeps going to Moses, we don't have much to worry about.

LeftyBlaster · Feb 25, 2018

We the home or away team? :/

kouroux · Feb 25, 2018

Moses is like Valencia. Cannot cross to save his life

Irrational. · Feb 25, 2018

Even Rooney's yawning.

The Firestarter · Feb 25, 2018

Rooney yawning says it all :lol:

I like the line up today (other than the central defense). Not sure what the formation is going to be but it seems as though we can line up one of 3 ways. The first is most likely considering Mourinho's insistence with a 4-2-3-1 but I would prefer the last. Either way, Pogba won't have "as much" defensive responsibility because of 2 DM's in the line up so hopefully he can be unleashed today:

---------------------------DDG---------------------------
Valencia---------SMalling------Lindeloff---------Young
----------------McTominay----Matic--------------------
---Martial--------------Pogba---------------Sanchez---
------------------------Lukaku--------------------------

---------------------------DDG---------------------------
Valencia---------SMalling------Lindeloff---------Young
--------------------------Matic--------------------------
---------------McTominay-------Pogba-------------------
---Martial---------------Lukaku---------------Sanchez---

---------------------------DDG---------------------------
Valencia---------SMalling------Lindeloff---------Young
--------------------------Matic--------------------------
-------------McTominay------------Pogba--------------
-------------------------Sanchez------------------------
--------------Lukaku-------------Martial---------------

So far it looks like it may be the last line up I suggested. Martial seems to be staying up front and Alexis seems to be central. Is this finally the 4-4-2 diamond that I've been calling for?

Sassy Colin · Feb 25, 2018

Old man Rooney, with his blanket

All 3 United · Feb 25, 2018

Are we at home? The worrying this is I’m not even surprised by how crap we look.

Wtf is that haircut man, you’re 24 years old

BeforeKeanetherewasRobson · Feb 25, 2018

Just in, can't get to watch. Anyone tell me how they're lining up (who where)? Ta

adamwest · Feb 25, 2018

They've got us tactically here

Jazz · Feb 25, 2018
