Manchester United 1:3 Chelsea

AJ Bullet · Jul 19, 2020

Jesus our defense cant even deal with the movement of Giroud. These are our main two centre-backs as well, bulleyed by a stationary caravan.

Get James off and get Pogba on otherwise its an all London final.

mu4c_20le · Jul 19, 2020

Giroud just brushes Lindelof away like a schoolboy

RedDevilRoshi · Jul 19, 2020

Without a doubt, our poorest half since football returned from lockdown. Shocking defending for that goal. Get Pogba and Greenwood on for Fred & James.

I really hope Bailly is alright as that looked worrying the way he was struggling.

Pogba and Greenwood on, Fred and James off. > James has been woeful

paulscholes18 · Jul 19, 2020

Pogba and Greenwood for Fred and James

TsuWave · Jul 19, 2020

People are going to excuse Lindelof aren’t they? Least convincing CB around

Someone tell me why the martial challenge wasn’t a foul?

Outside the box, VAR can't pull it back

Did you not notice Bailly going off on a stretcher?

That's just a regular Sunday for Bailly.

Chelsea are playing dirty as hell. Don't get me wrong they've actually been the better team and deserve the lead, but holy feck they're fouling players every chance they get. So frustrating.

48 hours · Jul 19, 2020

Chelsea leading 13-3 on fouls.

OverratedOpinion · Jul 19, 2020

BBC pundits talking up Chelsea. Nothing has happened other than a head injury and Lindelof being himself for the goal.

Castia · Jul 19, 2020

Shocking first half

Picking James to play as a centre forward was asking for trouble.

Andycoleno9 · Jul 19, 2020

Lampard's moaning bout VAR payed off. Masterclass by him

dannyrhinos89 · Jul 19, 2020

not one good performance today

All absolute crap including Ole

Godfather · Jul 19, 2020

Let's throw the kids in now. We are not winning this anyway the way Ole set us up

PoTMS · Jul 19, 2020

James has to come off at HT.

Weird to come on and celebrate your goal in a rival's forum instead of any Chelsea forum to be honest.

Not sure if henderson is the answer, but we need a better goalkeeper than De Gea has been for the last year or two.

Couldn't agree more with this. Unfortunately he can no longer be trusted. That was a howler plain and simple.

11101 · Jul 19, 2020

We need half time to reset. The whole team is disrupted, a serious injury followed by a total formation change is never going to end well.

ThinkTank@Cafe · Jul 19, 2020

Dean is making our life really hard. Chelsea playing disgustingly dirty. They know Dean won’t punish them. Kovacic should have got 2 yellow cards, penalty/free kick on Martial.

Salus Populi Suprema Lex · Jul 19, 2020

It's a cup tie; just throw the kitchen sink at it. We're behind and have nothing to lose. I want to see a different attitude second half.

sammsky1 · Jul 19, 2020

I think Ole has to go for it now.

Bring on Pogba and Greenwood within 55 mind and go for it.

villain · Jul 19, 2020

Lindelof is literally marshmallow

Yagami · Jul 19, 2020

I hate how we never keep possession in any big game. Always parking the bus.

RUCK4444 · Jul 19, 2020

Shouldn’t have changed the system, were out of form to begin with, lost momentum last few games even though we haven’t lost, changing system and personnel to boot wasn’t great timing.

We don’t, and never feckin have, played well in a defensive setup.

Can we just play Romero for the rest of the season? It literally can't be any worse than this joke of a keeper.

Yes he absolutely can be worse

Verminator · Jul 19, 2020

not the keeper's fault from that range.
Victor sleeping as usual.

Tbh, this is a disappointing first half for lots of reasons. Martial, Rashford, AWB, Matic and Fernandes all on the pitch and we're losing going into half time, with one sub already having to be made.

We haven't really committed either way. Not enough of the key attackers being rested to call it a rest (Fernandes definitely shouldn't be starting) and we're not playing well, and now we're losing. It's a real lose-lose.

Now we need to put Pogba and Greenwood and force them to concede fouls after fouls until we get 3 goals. That's the only way as they will try to rough us up.

Mibabalou · Jul 19, 2020

Woeful first half, looked like we did the first half of the season.

Need Pogba and Greenwood.

FreakyJim · Jul 19, 2020

Basically no one rested, lots of potential injuries (knocks), we'll lose and be knackered for the remainder.

Any positives?

Amarsdd · Jul 19, 2020

I suppose Lampard wanted to kick us throughout the pitch thus his bitching before the game about us getting ref decisions.

Garethw · Jul 19, 2020

This is the third game in a row now that we have played like shit. That is what worries me, not the score.

This is why I am not a fan of resting bs. Our squad players suck big time. At the end we anyways get frustrated when we play shit and concede so why not just play full strength. Awful game

Resting isn’t bs when you have 4 games in a week you muppet :lol:

Piratesoup · Jul 19, 2020

Was that the latest first half goal United have ever conceded?

If Ole wants to win this then Pogba & Mason should be on at HT. Tactics haven’t worked. Chelsea deserve the lead but very poor defending.

Agreed. We've been terrible in all departments, really.

Get those two on at HT and go after them.

E-mal · Jul 19, 2020

Our defense is not better after millions of pounds spent. They cant defend well and can't bring the ball out of the back effectively. Too weak!!!
I'd take Bruno, Martial and Rashford from the game and call it a write off.

mu4c_20le · Jul 19, 2020

Chelsea 12 fouls 0 cards. Remarkable.

Rozay · Jul 19, 2020

Classic Giroud goal that. This shape has not worked for us, we have no attacking threat at all. It is a system where much of our offensive threat is meant to come from players like Williams and Wan-Bissaka, who are never going to trouble anybody.

EwanI Ted · Jul 19, 2020

Not a great half. The new formation didn't work, we looked half the team we've been recently. Mercifully Chelsea are pretty average or they could be more than one up. The only good thing is that we've already made the change we needed to make. We can take this Chelsea team if we get back to our usual form, they’re not great either.
