Manchester United 2:1 Chelsea

DJ_21 · Dec 6, 2023

18 attempts first halve.

always_hoping · Dec 6, 2023

18 shots to 5 and level at half time so frustrating.

A half of football that really could or should have been 5-2 to United. Not clinical enough has come back to haunt. Zero protection from the midfielders has given opportunities to Chelsea to score

eire-red · Dec 6, 2023

This team man. When's the last time we've seen a complete performance in all aspects of the game?

Should have scored a couple more, but it could easily be 4-2 against a pretty shambolic Chelsea.

Onana should have saved that... his dive is so strange and slightly early. What a terrible signing

It's poor defending. Don't think you can blame it on the goalkeeper.

Yep. But then given the way the ref gives them a fk for everything is be worried about getting a tackle in.

Pushed him away from the goal, couldn't challenge as he was in the box. Gave him no space. Think you're being harsh.

It was a moments FC goal for me.

He did 'okay' at best if you want to be really generous. Typical Lindelof really. Protects and cover space (in behind) but basically always allowing the attacker to do whatever they want. Should have been closer and/or blocked the shot. It was a great shot but that's because he was given the opportunity to manipulate the space.

Pathetic when you consider it's Lindelof, who has a massive tendency to allow time and space all the time.

Garnacho does everything Rashford gets absolutely slaughtered for. He’s constantly losing the ball

Out of all the games, you say that today? Makes no sense unless you have your agenda

you can't just start randomly talking about "agenda" whenever someone says something you don't like or agree with.

Again comical defending and questionable goalkeeping for their goal.

Chelsea will be happy. Played awful and go in drawing. They’ll be much better 2nd halve

They'll be kicking themselves for not taking one of those two counter chances. We got unlucky with the McTominay double save.

Much more promising half from us, but very open at the back near the end.

FrankDrebin · Dec 6, 2023

Though Chelsea have also had their chances we've largely been pretty good but our finishing tends to hold us back in the PL as does our wonky defense.

crossy1686 · Dec 6, 2023

We lack some serious aggression in defence.

SER19 · Dec 6, 2023

Infuriating. So many good things, so many chances and have conspired to draw at half time. Ok chelsea had chances too but we were way on top.

The last fifteen minutes the tempo of the game has changed. Kavanagh was doing well and is now blowing for everything, and we're going in with 2 yellows, to chelseas none. Hard to fathom. Theyve also had 11 freekicks, probably about 5 of them were actual fouls/offisdes.

Fts 74 · Dec 6, 2023

Best we've looked in a long time going forward, suspect at the back though 2-1 would probably be fair.Hopefully we keep it up in the second half.

Red Dreams · Dec 6, 2023

The impact of Rashford and Martial

Not playing is immense.

Njord · Dec 6, 2023

Against Newcastle we looked badly coached. Today we look better coached, but then the lack of quality in several of the players are much more visible.

So why exactly does Lindelof start over Varane, again? Was that explained by Haggy?

Varane being total trash this season probably

I don't think he's a bad player and sure he has potential but the fact he's yet to score a league goal is starting to become ridiculous.

Between him and Weghorst we’ve almost gone a full calendar year with no league goal from our striker signings, it’s shocking.

Onana is 6’2 but everytime he lets a goal in he looks so tiny. Like he’s too short to save it, the goal just now he looked too short to get to the ball.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. He is 1.9m compared to ddg's 1.92m, so not much of a difference. I wish we could find out his wingspan.

There must be something wrong with his footwork and how slowly he gets down to cover his posts. He also feels a bit 'chunky' compared to ddg's lean and cat-like body.

laughtersassassin · Dec 6, 2023

It's really quite grim, our situation

Refreshing seeing us play a little bit of football without Rashford on the pitch ruining literally every move.

Without him the forward line is more dynamic, there's more movement and the pressing works better.

Disappointing after the chances we’ve had

Yeah, but have you seen the chances they had?

Theirs were the kind of nightmare that end up with every other team scoring and making it 4-1!

How many times have Onana let the team down this season?
I was ready to give him the benefit of the doubt but he’s a terrible terrible shotstopper and that’s costing us a lot.

Harsh blaming him for the goal, it was a lovely finish

Hojlund is the last thing we as a club needed. Terrible signing.

Poppycock

Andycoleno9 · Dec 6, 2023

It is probably said but where is Varane? Injured ?

THE ZOL · Dec 6, 2023

Chelsea’s goal took advantage of our man-to-man press. McTominay and Amrabat were moved wide by Enzo and Palmer respectively. Mudruyk moved inside untracked by Dalot with a passing lane open to him. Palmer’s goal was well taken. Can’t really blame Onana. It went through a crowd and was placed in the far corner really well. We should be defending zonally rather than man-to-man.

kiristao · Dec 6, 2023

We actually looked good for a change. Press was working for us and we were actually by passing the oppositions press with some nice off the ball movement.

Is anybody else watching this hong kong stream wondering why our adverts aren't this fun? Nationwide should take notes

He could score the winner and point at his head.

Paul Robinson, for what it's worth, says Onana not to blame for the goal

He's obviously not, but this is the caf...

Not really. We've already acknowledged it's a lost season. At this point, we have time to develop him.

Cos that's where we are as a club now, signing potential for the price of proven then spending time to develop the player without challenging for any honours, we're basically a shit Dortmund.

To be fair to Dortmund when they sign potential it's not usually for 65 mill +

He’s raw. He’s also done a lot more of the positives than Rashford this season.

Hugh Jass · Dec 6, 2023

We could easily have 4 or 5.

Not impressed with Hojlund so far. We bought him 2 seasons too early imho

People will call you out for that comment but there a very good reason he’s not scoring in the PL, he makes televised runs, has a poor touch and doesn’t shoot low across the goal, seriously not impressed with Højlund and add him to Antony up front and our attack is currently blunter than a 1974 pen knife.

£150m for both and no PL goals in 15 and half PL matches, yes we are playing ok but we can’t take our chances, ETH is picking players who follow his Bs to the letter but he’s currently coaching his team who will be lucky to score 42-48 PL goals and lucky to finish 8-12th!

Sandikan · Dec 6, 2023

Playing as well as we have this season.
But also allowed them a few chances.

Need to start the 2nd half like we started the 1st

You mean apart from the fact he actually works hard and got in behind them numerous times?

Mainoo for McT please. Need to stop these transitions. Keep the pressure up.

The first half looks pretty good. I would to see Mainoo on for McTominaray around the 60 minute mark.

Chumpsbechumps · Dec 6, 2023

Another half of that football would be nice. Even nicer if we can win
