Rojo had a fantastic game, De Gea, Young did very well aswell. Rashford worked hard. Pogba was terrible tonight, he needs a prolonged rest.

 

[DOTA]

Ridiculous comment. In the circumstances, the tactics were absolutely spot on and the players worked their ads off despite the twat in black

Nah.

We set out to stop Hazard at all costs. We payed the price. We had no plan B.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Why do these journos seem intent on getting Jose (and all managers for that matter) in trouble by asking those sort of questions about referees.

 

[Bojan11]

Lost to a far better team. We had no plan how to attack them even with 11 men.

What do you expect with no Ibra and Martial?

Take Hazard and Costa out and Chelsea would have no plan.

 

[tony54]

I would say that even with 11 men + the ref they would have probably won. The fecking Captain should have told the players to stop making such silly, needless tackles,. you can still play close without such recklessness. Herrera didn't deserve to get the second yellow when he did and the FA need to sort out the weak referees. We are still short of a decent centre half, left back and world class midfielder. At least we can concentrate on the Premiership and euro cup now.

 

[Ban]

No, in all comps.

We haven't been unbeaten in all comps since the defeat in League cup but I guess you know that.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Decent after match interview from Jose , kept it calm and would not say anything.
I got the feeling he was mad about it.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Oh well … ban for Jose now after that post match!

 

[Irrational.]

Expect another Jose ban for speaking about Oliver. Fecking interviewer pushed him into it though.

 

[Gerardo Islas]

How bloody inevitable this was!! When the draw was made we were out. Cant expect to win a game when only 4 players show up. De Gea. Young, Rojo and Rashord. The rest were piss and Pogba has to go. So that leaves us knackered for Thursday night. Great stuff

You forgot Valencia

 

[Livewire1974]

Pogba was absolute toilet though.

Very unfair comment, toilets are useful for something.

 

[Dyslexic Untied]

Meh.

Chelsea were the better team. Before the red and after. Decent news for our remaining schedule and should get the boys motivated for the home game against Chelsea in the league.

Honestly not too bothered with this one.

 

[FlawlessThaw]

Don't really care. Want us to win the EL

Yeah pretty much the same.

 

[squidoo]

What are you talking about? What did you expect us to do?

Going for it would have likely left us battered by the end, which in turn would have made the players heads drop even more.

Even with 10 minutes to go? What are you frightened of...losing 2 nil? Sorry...would rather of had a 10 minute press...anyone would think we were happy to lose 1 nil.

 

[Will Singh]

We lost the match in midfield for 2 reasons...

1) Herrera's red which was foolish and although he should have been giving a chance.

2) Pogba, wtf is wrong with him? Is he burnt out or injured?? He today decided he was not going to run so that for me cost us as he didn't close Kante down who for me is worth £500m if Jogba is worth £89m!

 

[Catt]

I will say that a Chelsea player wouldn't have seen red the way Herrera did tonight.

 

[Ramshock]

People saying Pogba needs to go..have a fecking word with yourselves. He needs to improve yes..leave no. Wise up!

 

[Yorkeontop]

Haven't beaten Chelsea in 12 games now. Always played us well the blues. Not the end of times.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Oliver ruined the game for us but it must be pointed out that Jones and Smalling are simply not good enough, i sincerely hope both are sold this summer.

On a positive note Rojos was a beast today and Valencia isn't too far behimd him.

 

[Sied]

I am so fecking pissed off. I haven't felt cheated out of a game like this for a long time.

 

[NinjaZombie]

We approached the game perfectly. The tactics were spot on. Away to easily the best team in England and we more than matched them.

Went downhill when we got an unjust red card and even after that it was a valiant effort, there was very little we could do.

Agreed.

Absolute madness taking off our best player and one out of few in this side who could have caused them some trouble on the counter, and replace him with fecking Fellaini.

The game was gone. We'd be better off resting Micky. In fact, I was hoping Pogba was taken off as well, because he looked tired out there.

I thought Rojo was good, but he could have done better with his closing down for the goal, though that's mostly on Paul Pogba.

 

[Robin Your Persie]

Us not having Ibra and Martial is like them not having Costa and Hazard.

I dont know what it is whenever we play at Stamford Bridge we barely ever get any luck there.

The lads did the shirt proud considering that the amount of games they've played, and with us lacking attacking options and Chelsea injury-free like they always are and fresh it was always gonna be tough.

Ah well on to thursday.

 

[Ramshock]

Okay

 

[Catt]

Arsenal with them finishing 5th and Wenger keeping his job.

This.

 

[prtk0811]

How many times pogba has strolled and we have conceeded? Pogba's defensive vunrabilities are shockingly bad .

 

[Paxi]

Even with 10 minutes to go? What are you frightened of...losing 2 nil? Sorry...would rather of had a 10 minute press...anyone would think we were happy to lose 1 nil.

That's not how football works. It's hard to simply start 'having a go' when you're down to ten men with your backs against the wall.

 

[mu4c_20le]

I am so fecking pissed off. I haven't felt cheated out of a game like this for a long time.

I didn't care about losing this one before, with a couple of strong teams still in it, but the game and result annoyed me more than I expected.

 

[Infra-red]

Mourinho won't be too upset. Essentially damage limitation vs a superior side away from home and we ended up going down with a 1-0 defeat having played 10 vs 11 for an hour.

 

[Ramshock]

Absolute madness taking off our best player and one out of few in this side who could have caused them some trouble on the counter, and replace him with fecking Fellaini.

Yep it was all Fellainis fault as usual

 

[pauldyson1uk]

BBC have just shown a stamp by Rojo missed that during the game, could be a 3 match ban coming up if the FA want to take action

 

[DomesticTadpole]

I will say that a Chelsea player wouldn't have seen red the way Herrera did tonight.

No chance in hell.

 

[Tarrou]

ban for Rojo?

 

[AgentP]

I fecking hate Conte. The sight of him screaming on the touchline for every little incident is so annoying to watch.

 

[Isotope]

Feel sorry for Jose having to answer these shite questions who's only purpose is to get him into trouble.

He doesn't need to say anything.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Jesus wept.

 

[Bojan11]

Nah.

You do realise we were missing two of our best players and our striker only was declared fit at the last minute.

 

[Heinzesight]

The BBC are scraping the barrel with that, he'll be fine.

 

[Alabaster Codify7]

Red card completely ended the game - as soon as Mkhi went off, we lost our only connection between midfield and attack and Rashford was completely isolated against three CBs. Mkhi was also the only player on the pitch with the creativity and burst of pace combined that could potentially unlock them.

Herrera is way too reckless and carless for my liking. I love his passion but he's a poor tackler and is always a booking waiting to happen - that said, two fouls, neither terrible, and two yellow cards?! Seems a bit OTT from the referee - a final warning would've sufficed but the way Ander started, he still would've got another yellow later on.

Game was killed. I said to my old man, 'no chance of us scoring from open play now, game over'.

The majority of those lads can at least be proud of fighting to the bitter end. Rojo was excellent I thought, hats off to him - went toe-to-toe with Costa and didn't back down a millimetre. Great showing.

However....one man cannot hold his head up high....

Pogba. Absolute effing dogshit performance, again. This is becoming a major issue, a real elephant in the room. Offered absolutely nothing out there.

We're not as good as Chelsea this season - no shame in admitting that.

Onto the next one. Crucial two games coming up.

 

[royboy16]

JM Praised the Utd fans tonight,were the Chelsea fans giving him stick tonight or something ?

 

[Fredo]

We lost to one super strike in the bottom corner, down to 10 men for 1hour and with Pogba in the team, a big shout goes to Rojo and Valencia for doing all they can defensively and big Dave for keeping it at 1-0, feck it let's focus on the league and Europa, the FA will only get us to the EL so it's alright.
