Manchester United 1:3 Chelsea

MrSingh2002 · Jul 19, 2020

Anyone figure out what Oles plan was that first 45 minutes?

2 man midfield · Jul 19, 2020

Piss poor from Dave, but no worse than the rest of the team. We seriously need to wake up and take the game to them in the second half. Awful so far.

Jazz · Jul 19, 2020

Honestly should have stuck with Romero. If we equalise and go to pens Romero is much better.

diarm · Jul 19, 2020

BBC are going to go the entire half without mentioning the foul on Martial or the absolute thug tactics of Chelsea aren't they?

We need to buy a new CB in the summer. Desperately

we need a lot more then one. Smalling is going to be gone, Rojo going to be gone, and the 3 we have for "depth" couldn't stay healthy for 90 minutes even if you subbed one out every 30 minutes.

reddevil80 · Jul 19, 2020

why is De Gea on and not Romero????

Garethw · Jul 19, 2020

James should have stayed in the championship. That’s his level.

People blaming De Gea need their head checked, how's he supposed to save a ball like that from all of 2 yards out? Slow down time?

Whether its his fault or not the fact that we have had to debate this so much this season is a problem.

Fecking disgraceful that, Dean has been shit all day

Adisa · Jul 19, 2020

How long before Ole makes the changes? Hope he doesn't wait.

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

Any positives?

We might not lose?

It's only 1-0 and we've got quality on the bench. Anything could happen

Godfather · Jul 19, 2020

That why Ole isn't good enough here. He can't provide consistently. We have turned pretty shit the last week.

Pogba and Greenwood just have to come on.

No this game doesn't matter. We shouldn't have any key players even on the pitch.

Chelsea have been so dirty.

Yeah, to use Jose's phrases they have been cnuts, but not stupid cnuts like us.

predator · Jul 19, 2020

A farce.
Lack of rest, fatigue, bad luck combined with a bad performance in general and its a miracle its only 1. Our players look like me when i used play five a side after 2 hours sleep after a heavy night out.

Everyone has been gassing up this man for weeks. He is awful.

I argued with some idiots over this. They seem totally blind because he plays for United.

Conserve energy and don't concede. Not bad until that brain fart...

Devil may care · Jul 19, 2020

Starting James as a striker was a bad call and i think De gea has to do better on Giroud's goal.

Playing our normal system in the 2nd half with Mashford up top now means we can still win this.

morbidsaint · Jul 19, 2020

Lindelof is so, soo bad. I cannot fathom those that want him as a starter. And even i am starting to get tired of de Gea. 2 years ago he would have saved that with ease.

Feed Me · Jul 19, 2020

This has been shit.

Chelsea turning us over today.

We are not at all at the races.

Solskjaer is crap at squad management and also in game management.

Bruno obviously shouldn't be starting this game, Martial should've been held off until the 60th minute.

If you're gonna play a 2nd string team, don't put your most valuable in amongst it when they're already leggy and need rest.

Did it last season with Rashford as well.

Naive.

Huh? He was forced in to the change. We had no attacking impetus so naturally the stiker was the better option.

Schmeichel's Cartwheel · Jul 19, 2020

Chelsea lead us 13-3 in fouls, despite having 58% possession.

Not really....it's Dean!

hobbers · Jul 19, 2020

Lindelof has an amazing ability to never be goal side of his man. He's utterly spineless.

He's a striker's dream.

Any plan goes to shit when you get kicked up and down the pitch for 45 minutes.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Jul 19, 2020

And another game where we make a godawful start. How many games in a row has it been now? Almost every game since the restart the first 20-30 minutes have been a write-off. In this instance the first 60 minutes were awful bar a 5 minute period where we looked okay.

Ace of Spades · Jul 19, 2020

Absolute shit referee, they had 13 fouls in that half alone. Card them you cnut.

Also, joke defending, probably why Baily was there in the first place.

DDG has been so average to poor this season.

MUM · Jul 19, 2020

One touch in their box in that first half. Need to be far far better second half. Giroud took us apart.

#07 · Jul 19, 2020

Lindelof poor on the goal. Amazing how often he lets people run across him. Southampton, today just in the past week. Poor. De He's also needed to be more alive knowing Lindelof goes napping.

Vidyoyo · Jul 19, 2020

Has to be said, Wembley is a shit arena to play in behind closed doors.

Hope we can turn this around.

Siorac · Jul 19, 2020

Honestly, we didn't play well but Chelsea didn't look like scoring right until the end. It was a shite game and we should have kept it 0-0.

Irwin99 · Jul 19, 2020

Has there ever been a worse punditry team on the BBC?

greenwood on for James. - pogba on for Fred if we dont equalise after 20 minutes.

I would give them maximum 10 minutes before those changes, in fact I’d make them now.

We need our best 11 to get back into this.

Hence why we should have gone with a completely fresh team - under strength for sure, but giving our key players needed rest. But I've been reading on here that all it takes to get back to full fitness is "wanting to play".

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.

This

no point playing fancy formations if you haven’t the players to pull it off

Ole played a shit system with a shit choice of rotation. Either rotate properly or not at all, not this half arsed shit. Really poor management.

He made 5 changes FFS any more is too many. You need to keep continuity.

We need at least one top drawer CB; two would be superb. What we mustn't do is go into next season without strengthening there.

Tarrou · Jul 19, 2020

as shit as we played we were robbed on that pen decision

how do they decide so quickly on that?

Buchan · Jul 19, 2020

Get Pogba on ASAP. None of this ‘after 70 minutes’ shit like v Spurs after the restart and not allowing him time to win us the game (like he almost did that night).

Sandikan · Jul 19, 2020

Feared we'd get turned over, simply because we've beaten them so many times this season!

It's how football works!

Shocking defending on the goal. Lindelof not in the wide awake club, and De Gea beaten close to his body again.

Hope we can produce something, but it looks omninous today.
