Manchester United 2:1 Chelsea

Post-match discussion


Sun, 25 February 2018

That's the annoying thing about Jose's slow poison football, it's still more than capable of getting big results. That's why he swears by it.
 
United Twitter getting a bit ahead of themselves :lol:

Good result, shit performance, only Lukaku, Matic putting down a worthy performance, everyone else was so-so with the fullbacks being utter shit.
 
Also, I'd like to put on record my deep felt thanks to the linesman :D
 
Character in that performance - great to see. Hard work, looked confident once we were ahead. Chelsea weren't great, and we were lucky the assistant got the offside wrong for Morata at the end, but a good strong showing of good intensity.

Big result.
 
Must win game, fantastic result. Lukaku MOTM. Morata still shit. Pogba looked much better. Ecstatic.
 
Massive massive win. We desperately needed that. Lukaku’s best game in a United shirt thus far. May have only been me but I also felt this was Matic’ best performance for a while.

Regardless of thoughts on the manager, I am happy today.
 
Matic was immense. De Gea a little iffy, Pogba did great. Shout out to the Lukaku man. Jesse LinGod was immense.
 
"She canee take the strain capt'n!"

Someone must have tried to quote all the doommongering and there was too much of it
 
Surprising performance, especially to come back from 0-1. Great performances by a few individuals and some nice team play at times too.

You can still see the massive issues we though and Sanchez really needs to up his game.
 
That run from Lukaku at the end :drool:, much needed 3 points now 10 games and need 24 points to sure up top 4.

We won from behind for the first time for ages
 
Really important win.

Second half I can live with. It's not my preferred way of playing the game but at least I can understand and recognise the method. We looked "ok"

First half was as bad a performance and use of tactics I can remember.
 
Got better as the game went on. Thought we were awful first half, quite honestly. Lukaku looking a beast
 
Get the feck in! Huge win and great response after a really bad opening 30 minutes. Lukaku seemed to have a mental block on him before scored, had probably his worst performance for us but then after his goal produced everything we want to see and had probably his best performance. Hopefully we build on this. This was a must win and we got it and we completely dominated the 2nd half. Mourinho needs to set out to dominate big games from the start, not only change tactics once we go behind because of a shit performance before that.

Anyway, should give us loads of confidence now. We were in a bit of a rut, and this is how you jump out of one.
 
Good win to what's been a negative week around United. Already looking forward to Liverpool!
 
big win obviously but I am far from sold on the tactics. OK we are never going to be 1999 again but I'd love to see us start fast. lukaku's take, turn and run at the end was the first moment I was comfortable. his cross for the winner was good too. some negatives for me: didn't think Matic was great (others seem to disagree) and Sanchez was too quiet again. and I will never be happy with wingers as fulbacks. Plus, boy we look shaky when DDG has an off day. but a win's a win and it's against a huge rival. Next week, I'll take any sort of win...
 
Answers on a postcard as to how we won that game.

Generally terribly and that was just the fans.

Amazing what can happen when you show a little fight.
 
Improved as the game went on. That Chelsea side looked totally without fight. We looked similar early doors, but a couple of big performances got us some momentum
 
Couldn't watch the match today but cracking result against a difficult team, gives a huge boost in the fight for top 4.
 
Awful watch, neither team showed any intensity or aggression. Certain players (Pogba, Sanchez, Martial) were terrible.
 
Massive massive win :drool::drool:
Any match against the top 5/6 from now on is a 6 pointer.
And Chelsea, thank you for Matic and for sleeping on the Lukaku deal, we would be more than happy to take Azpilicueta, Hazard and Willian off your hands ;):angel:
 
I predicted a Chelsea win, first to hold my hands up and say I was wrong.

Looked like 2 teams who didn’t want to lose but we took the very few chances we had.

Not a great performance but a great result.
 
LET’S FECKING GOOOOOOO !!!


> Mourinho got the tactics right

> De Gea class

> Martial class

> Sanchez class

> Matic class

> Pogba simple and effective

> JLingz just doing his thing - clutch

> Sorry, what was that about Lukaku not performing against top 6 sides? Goal and an assist + outstanding performance, MOTM


...massive 3 points, this match was a joy to watch.


Martial was terrible apart from his assist, Matic was motm if it were not for our winner
