Post-match discussion


Sun, 16 April 2017

Ashamed, no. At the time I was disappointed with the lineup and thought we'd be lucky to get a point from the game. After the match and I've said as much already, I hold my hands up and say every one of them put a shift in today and we excellent. Fully deserved the win.
you are forgiven. Let it not happen again! ;)
I was right. It was fun:p
:lol:
Imagine coming out with those statements and then having the cheek to call yourself a United fan.

Hope you learned a lesson guys and gals :nono:
tI bet they are very happy now!
 
Brilliant tactic today from Jose Mourinho today. Everyone played. Solid back three no errors at all. Wing backs were discipline. As a result no shot on target for Chelsea.

Hazard in Herrera's pocket. Rashford is having fun against Chelsea's defense.

Bring in Carrick to keep possession and more protection was the right decision. Bring in Zlatan when Rashford looked tired and also Zlatan is good to hold the ball.

Motm is Mourinho. Tactic was right and the subs was right.
Because we won the game I agree but for awhile I was concerned we were dominated the game and I think another goal was coming when lingard left we lost much of that but we won that is all that matters
 
I'm not going to get carried away but credit where credit's due - it was a fantastic performance. No complaints today. The manager and the players all stepped up today. Well done!
 
What does he want he want from Shaw, Martial,Mhiki? That. It's about working your ass off for the team.

That's basically it. And according to Jose, Shaw and Martial are not doing this.
I think Shaw may stay, but I feel that Martial won't be with us next season.

For comparison, Memphis was sold simply because he wasn't good enough. Martial on the other hand is good enough, but maybe his energy levels are not good enough to play in a Jose team.
 
Souness looked absolutely distraught at having to praise us then. What a bitter Scouse cnut.

As for Utd, we were great. Best performance of the season.

Hoping this gives us a springboard for the rest of the season.
 
rashford played very well. mature as feck. costa's head is elsewhere he got showed up
 
One of our best wins in some time. Toe to Toe with the league leaders and came out on top, with young Rashford and Lingard playing well. Sure, some missed opportunities, as there are all too often for us lately, but a convincing win. Onwards and upwards.
 
Best performance of the season, with an interesting line-up to say the least.

I thought Darmian was excellent, Bailly and Rojo had superb matches, Herrera best player on the pitch, Rashford frightened the life out of their defence, Lingard looked lively, Young super apart from his awful shooting. Pogba was our worst performer.
Pogba our worst? He played pretty well defensively. Tackled well. Its the issue with expecting him to score and shoot in every match. Him with Fellaini and Herrera controlled the midfield.

Brilliant result, brilliant performance.

Amazing considering the starting line-up, but i'll take it.
 
Pre-match comment from Daniel Harris in the Guardian....

So, what to make of that United team? Well, Mourinho is prioritising Thursday’s game against Anderlecht, and fair enough; Ibrahimovic has played a lot and probably wouldn’t get much change out of a three-man defence. But that back-five is something else, a sarcastic comment on the very notion of the game of football, a slap in the face of the vicious authorities who ask teams to play games when games are scheduled. My guess is that the plan is for Rashford and Lingard to pull Chelsea’s markers about, fed by bad crosses from the wing-backs and long passes from Pogba. If United get anything out of this game, it’s going to be revolting
 
Credit where credit is due.....The donkey played pretty well. Jose got his tactics right today. The players all performed well.

He never used to be this bad. At times he was the voice of reason. He seems to have got worse the older he gets.

It was a shocking lineup and the first time under Jose he's gotten that type of performance from the team. Get the feck over yourself. Smart money was on it not working.
 
Nah. Spurs are definitely better. Chelsea and City too. Possibly Liverpool as well.

If we're talking "bests".

Chelsea is all conte's tactics but yes they are better than us. City and United are on the same level apbut we can defend better.
Liverpool? No. We are better in all departments, sometimes the league position lies.
Spurs, I can't really gauge them they are confusing.
 
Herrera could have tried an overhead kick from the halfway line and it would have went exactly where he wanted it. He never put a single foot wrong today. Maybe the best performance of anyone this season. Wonderful.

I used to quite like him yeah.

Maybe it's since Fergie went?

Whenever we play well or win a big game he's always looking for some snide little comment to undercut Utd. He was acting like we'd completely parked the bus, total bollocks.
 


Love that. What a fecking day. Completely bullied them all over the park. So many people coming out with embarrassing stuff pre game will be eating a massive plate of humble pie tonight. GET THE feck IN.

Maybe when it was rumoured Fergie was giving his job to another Scot he thought it was him?
 
Best performance this season. Herrera was outstanding. The whole team played excellent. Tactical masterclass by Jose. It was brave of him to leave Pogba and Zlatan on the bench and it payed off.
