Post-match discussion


Sat, 22 October 2022



The penalty is worth 0.78. Without it we were comfortably better.

0-0 would've been disappointing. But 1-1 with a late equalizer is decent.
 
Rescued a point from what was nearly a horrific afternoon. We would have been 4 points off top 4, with no Varane and needing to pick ourselves up yet again. This is massive for our chances of 4th, and maintaining our momentum.
 
Thank feck for Casemiro. Absolutely world class player.

1st half we were better, 2nd half was pretty much dead even. Dumb penalty to concede but the game was going for a 0-0 if not for that, ended 1-1 due to the little push. Huge shame for Varane, hope it's nothing much but I doubt that. No idea what he injured.

Antony i thought was pretty good but quiet 2nd. Bruno was good IMO, Eriksen a bit shit throughout, Casemiro easy MotM. Back 5 very good as well, nothing to comment on there. Sancho was shite. Rashford was quiet. Eriksen shite. Those 3 were the reason we struggled IMO.
Good summary although Erikson did not deserve your double shite comment perhaps a single one
 
Fantastic mentality at the end there. This is what you wanna see. Faded a bit in the second half but a draw that feels almost like a win with a late goal can only be good for the mentality of this team going into the last few games until the WC. Feel for Varane. What a header from Casemiro!
 
Our defence and midfield are solid.

Our attacking play constantly let's us down. Don't create enough clear chances and our finishing is shocking on the chances we do create.

Decent point in the end.
 
Game is 90 minutes. The last hour of pretty much nothing from either, draw is fair. Didn't deserve to lose at all, but the game was just sloppy in midfield and attack after the first 30 where yes we dominated.
Yes mate - it’s 90 minutes. So when one team smashes the other for 35 of those minutes with the other 60 being very even and nobody looking like scoring outside of a dodgy pen then the team which totally dominated over a third of it was clearly the better team overall.
 
Not good today overall but a point away at the bridge isn't bad.

and sad to see Varane injured, hopefully it's nothing serious
 
We had decent control of the game in the first half but players like Rashford, Sancho and Dalot were careless in possession and gave away the impetus over and over again. Then McT comes on and gives away what is a very stupid penalty. The match was comfortably winnable but our average and inconsistent players yet again pulled the team down for more than 90 minutes.

And what was with celebrating the equaliser for so long? Chelsea were there for the taking and we missed out on a glorious chance to climb up the table. Loved it when EtH bollocked Shaw for trying to kill the time and told him to get on with and keep going. If we had mounted one more decent, coherent attack, we would have scored another goal.
 
No team deserved to win, we defend superbly but our attack comes short yet again, it does my head that they’re so expensive and create so little.
Our wide players cannot dribble, we should have moved rashford to the left when sancho went off
 
Good point in the context and considering Liverpool lost. The penalty was soft, McTominay had his arms there but Broja just threw himself to the ground.

It's clear that we need a top striker, and Rashford from the left. Sancho needs to wake up.
 
Casemiro an absolute fecking hero for not letting this match be lost. Good effort by Elanga in the end. McT probably not as at fault as it seemed, but still should have been smarter.

We need attackers who can score. We dominated midfield (FINALLY!) and played very well but there was nobody to score a damned goal earlier.

Very worried about Varane.

Martinez - fecking love him for getting back at Jorginho for cynically knocking Elanga. That's what United players do - don't let your teammate be bullied. Love it. Martinez is awesome in every way.
 
This result feels somehow better than 0-0 but was hoping for a win. Stupid from McT.
 
Much happier at the end of a 1-1 than if it was 0-0. Thought the lads spirit was excellent. Shaw, Casemiro, Bruno, Elanga and Martinez especially. They looked genuinely wrong'd by that penalty.
 
Am I really the only one who thinks Erikson often slows down our attacks, Casemiro's passing is terribly erratic and without Shaw we would find it hard to get forward?
 
We can't expect to perform at every game like we did at Tottenham. This game is a good testament that we are definitely improving.

We definitely do not deserve to lose. McT costed us with a brainless foul. I hope ETH will deal with this nonsense defending.

The effort when we were a point down was absolutely wonderful. Well done United!
 
I really liked our approach - we went toe to toe away from home against a top team and we were the better side in the first half, could and should have scored more.

Second half was a bit less great, legs seem to have gone a bit but great fighting spirit till the end. And Chelsea barely had a noteworthy chance, apart from the header that hit the post.
 
Very good first half. Second half we run out of gas by 70'. Can't blame the players they had played just two days ago. Feck ref. They're all trying to feck us I swear.

I really like how the players reacted after the pen. Thank God we scored I don't really care about results but if we lose today I'd be very angry. We didn't deserve to lose at all after this kind of performance.

And hope Varane's injury is not serious he was crying like a baby.
 
Feels like a victory, even though the single point says otherwise. Loved the passion from Casemiro after the goal, just what we need. Hope Varane is ok

I feel the opposite, dunno why! Thought we deserved the three points there so the draw feels like a loss :lol:
 
Good result and decent enough performance. Shame about the draw to Newcastle. Could have been an excellent week.
 
Should have put them away in the first half, we're just missing that deadly finisher (Martial is a perfect fit).

The pen they got was sickening when you consider the two we didn't get vs Newcastle. How often do you see that sort of grappling on corners and nothing is given.

Casemiro goal was quality. Chelsea did not deserve the point.
 
We're Manchester United, we don't give up! fecking hell what an end to the game. Absolutely deserved that point. Hell, deserved a win for the first half performance.

Our forwards couldn't win us the game and McT almost lost it. Casemiro is an absolute warrior. I was right there with him the screams at the end. Wonderful team spirit shown after going down.

Feel sad for Varane. his reaction tells me he's missing the world cup, so time for Lindelof to step up. At least Martinez is there, destroyed anything that came his way today.

This team is going places. I know the media bellends will cry about us drawing without Ronaldo, but we are moving in the right direction and these last two games have shown EtH needs to be backed to the hilt. He's made me love this team again after the shambles of last season.
 
Considering we are a team in transition, it’s a great results and more importantly great performance. I’m looking 2-3 years down the line. Keep this up and with the right purchases, we will have a really good team to actually challenge the currently tops clubs.
