Post-match discussion


Sun, 16 April 2017

No shot on target for Chelsea for the first time in a decade! :D:D
 
:lol: At Souness, so reluctant to give us praise and had to give the backhanded compliment about not creating chance after chance. Yeah cause that ever happens in big games.
 
Sometimes we dont play well, and some of you suggest we are the worst football team who have ever worn the red shirt; sometimes we play well, and we are going to win the Premiership for the next 26 years. Today we were outstanding, next week we'll probably be crap. Im getting old now so I'll take moments like these and savour them. Even the most maligned today performed wondeffully well. Wonder if it had anything to do with the speed of our front two?

Fantastic performance.

feck you all those who think Mourinho is tactically inept when the team sheets came out.
 
Now, if only United can produce 80% of this performance each week.
 
I'll eat humble pie here. A shocking team selection just put in the best performance of the season.

Rashford was absolutely outstanding. The Cafe whipping boys Young and Fellaini were brilliant too.
 
I won't lie - I did not expect that, especially after seeing our starting XI. But what a performance from the lads and what a tactical masterclass from Jose. I take off my hat to both the team and the manager. Fecking brilliant!
 
Been in the air during the match. Feared the worst, great to be surprised on landing!
 
Disgusting
Filth
Embarrassment
Disgrace
Physically sick


Some of the endless comments of the same ilk from resident internet heroes. Talking about the team and manager like that pre match sums of the state of the forum at times
I saw someone said something along the lines of Jose devaluing the league and insulting the home crowd with the lineup. Given the atmosphere today, seems our home crowd quite enjoyed the insult.
 
Based on that one performance I would agree.
But where has he been for the other umpteen performances, when we failed to score goals?
Do not judge a team, player or manager based on 1 good/bad performance.
Your exactly right. If he could of scored in other games we wouldnt be playing catch up now. Lets hope hes turned a corner
 
9/10 everyone except De Gea who had nothing to do. The perfect performance, especially Herrera, Lingard and Rashford. Fellaini was imperious in midfield. Defence were all calm and composed. Fantastic all round, really.

But that's the most frustrating thing, we ARE capable of producing that, but not do it on consistent basis.

Spurs owe us Easter dinner.
 
BTW, the ref had an excellent game.
He allowed the game to play out and let the players decide the result.
I hope M.Oliver and M.Clattenburg are taking notes.

I'd second that, been good in pretty much every match ive seen him
 
My pre-match pessimism was based on the premise that Chelsea would actually show up.
Saying that, it was our best performance of the season. Chelsea didn't have one shot on target the whole game.
All we have to do is play like this all the time!

I agree.
 
I want Jose to do well (provided it is not at Chelsea's expense of course!). No injuries or suspensions for our FA cup game, that's the most important thing really. I want the double!
I will watch that match with great interest. Would you be worried if Spurs beat you?
 
Fantastic performance by the team, particularly Rashford, Fellaini and Herrera ran their socks off in the game.
I have to say Pogba did okay defensively, but he was poor again today with many misplaced passes and looking lazy.
The first goal was lucky, as it was a clear Herrera handball, but we really played some good stuff especially in the first half and could have been a few goals up if Young had his shooting boots on.
 
What a performance. Poorest player on the pitch was De Gea (because he had nothing at all to do). They didn't register a shot on target.

We've got a tough run in but, this can be a springboard to finish the season strong. 2 wins in a row in the league - NICE !
 
Chelsea are not miles better than us. The top six are all so close. Next year there will be a different winner.
 
Man, I love days like this. I can't wipe the grin off my face. Few things can make me as happy as football, at least for a little while. The high is real.

There was someone saying he wasn't even going to bother watching the game :lol:
 
Been said by everyone else, but easily best United performance all season. Everyone was brilliant and perfect payback for the reverse fixture earlier this season.

Said Herrera was MOTM at half time, don't remember hearing Hazards name in the 2nd half.
 
1st point: Conte forgot how to scream the whole match.
2nd point: We could have easily avenged 4-0 today.
3rd point: Rashford announced his ARRIVAL today.
 
I wanted to make a couple of points.

Pogba looked fully focused on the job today and unsurprisingly was far superior to any Chelsea midfielder. He was just constantly showing that he's just a better player than the opposition players.

Rojo and Bailly showed so much maturity to deal with Costa by beating him at his own game. If this was arsenal, rojo would've seen a red.

Rashford has immensely improved his holdup play if this is an indication of anything.

Fellaini weirdly completed the midfield three with Herrera and Pogba today. He was just so calm and almost won all the duels.
