Manchester United 2:1 Chelsea

12OunceEpilogue · Feb 25, 2018

Smalling has been ok in the air but has been so worrying one-on-one on the deck in this game.

Irrational. · Feb 25, 2018

Sanchez has that Valencia-esque ability of constantly passing the ball at defenders' shins.

United lucky to escape again.

MDFC Manager · Feb 25, 2018

Smalling.

Smalling

Dobba · Feb 25, 2018

Should probably have introduced our back 5 to eachother at half time.

Android1974 · Feb 25, 2018

Sánchez tried to pass to Pogba, noticed.

kouroux · Feb 25, 2018

Willian is by far the best player out there

izec · Feb 25, 2018

Smalling

Kapardin · Feb 25, 2018

Why is our defense getting caught out like this every 20 minutes in a game?

pltan · Feb 25, 2018

They have so much space, and we cant even string a pair of passes in their half.

LeftyBlaster · Feb 25, 2018

Fecking hell Smalling

Random Task · Feb 25, 2018

Willian...

Bojan11 · Feb 25, 2018

Why is Smalling falling over every time? Hope Giroud doesn’t come on. Can see him scoring from a header whilst Smalling on the floor.

Organic Potatoes · Feb 25, 2018

How are we so vulnerable to counters...?

whatwha said:
The shot was hard, but it was almost straight at DDG. Normally he saves that, and you could tell he was disappointed he didn't get this one.

Of course he was disappointed. I've played in goal my entire life and when you get a hand on it and it still goes in you are always disappointed. But I can also guarantee you that not a single person in that dressingroom blamed DDG for that goal. It was on the defense. Nobody picked up Willian from a simple run through the middle. But this wasn't a shot from 15 yards out. It was a bullet from point blank range and if DDG saves it we are talking about how he bailed us out again...

mitchmouse · Feb 25, 2018

we had the ball in there half just now but just four players in red shirts in their half. awful

The White Pele · Feb 25, 2018

Brain fart from Smalling but we survived it. Hopefully the only one in this game

Drifter · Feb 25, 2018

Our defence is dodgy

fellaini's barber · Feb 25, 2018

My word Smalling....

SirAnderson · Feb 25, 2018

Again, no desire to get out of our box and play it quick.

Garethw · Feb 25, 2018

If Hazard gets on the end of that ball rather than Morata it’s 1-2.

Esquire · Feb 25, 2018

Smalling effing off!

I hope that goal restores our faith in our footballing ability in the final third. For Christ's sake we have players with serious skill in holding up, one touch passing and beating men. It's time we calmed down and believed in ourselves.

As for the midfield it's a worry. Matic v Willian and McTom v Harzard when out of possession is ok in theory but they need to be more proactive in spoiling their play. Also I'd love to see Pogba more involved in our attack.

Bolded pts.

Matic and McTom vs Willian and Hazard is fine. They're doing well. Their goal is Valencia being suspect again in setting up offiside, not the first time this season.

Been trying to eat healthy and that first half has made me crack. Ordered a deliveroo chipper from a takeaway I can see from my window. That's how fecking low this team have made me.

Android1974 · Feb 25, 2018

Pogba doesn't even make himself available for a pass in midfield!

glazed · Feb 25, 2018

Willian is best player on pitch

Irrational. · Feb 25, 2018

Why did Martial give up on the press there? Was the perfect opportunity to put Courtois under pressure.

Short hand Portuguese?

That was my first instinct on it.

Food for thought.

You should start a thread on it.

It might be a nice distraction from the way the forum is going at the moment.

FFS, I can't think about anything else now!

Glad I could help

amolbhatia50k · Feb 25, 2018

Smalling. Our defenders has been individually rubbish today.

Bojan11 · Feb 25, 2018

Martial needs to look after the ball better.

Santos J · Feb 25, 2018

We're so so shit at attacking ffs no movement no bodies forward

kouroux · Feb 25, 2018

Martial is high. He is never 100% focused

Yagami · Feb 25, 2018

Come on, we should be pressing as a team not individuals

Fuzzy Dunlop · Feb 25, 2018

Mourinho plays 4231 with Sanchez on the left. Caf Reaction: OMFG, he's so dumb!

Mourinho plays the holy 433 with Pogba, Sanchez and Martial against Chelsea. Caf Reaction: OMFG, he's so dumb, we're shit, SAF help us!

Also: DDG should have a spider-sense.

Raoul · Feb 25, 2018

Smalling likely saved a goal there.

I was joking. I hate ads but the game has been a snooze-fest

i realised. i'm so bored i was being facetious

joedirt87 · Feb 25, 2018

Martial's getting pulled soon. Well done by Smalling there.

if I'd let that in in my saturday league days, I'd be taking stick for weeks

Been playing for u18s nationally, would not blame the keeper. MacTominay though, just being half arsed.

Have you not seen what happens to Bambi when he steps on ice?

Utdstar01 · Feb 25, 2018

Definitely gonna get countered at this rate.

Drifter · Feb 25, 2018

Are we at home.

RoadTrip · Feb 25, 2018

Final ball just eluding Martial atm.

Applies to our whole team to be fair.
