What a finish! Decent result for us to be fair.
 
Decent result but after today there're some questions that should be asked about LVG's tactics imo. Can't be bothered to go hot-headed into it but what the feck was that defending at corner.
 
Deserved point.

Good game from RVP in general before his goal as well.

I'm not bothered about the corner. Mismatches do occur at times. Good header by Drogba. A few inches lower and it would've hit RvP's head and we wouldn't be having this discussion.
 
Good performance first half. Poor second half. Decent result indeed.

Defense is a MAJOR MAJOR worry. Something has to be done. We won't make top 4 defending like that
 
Decent result.

We showed a fighting spirit to get the equalizer.

What a crap goal to give away.
 
Huge improvement from WBA, thought we deserved a point in the end. Created chances against a strong Chelsea side but at the back we still look very suspect.
 
Nice injury time goal with a good performance to boot against probably the best team in the league right now. Happy with the point in the end.
 
Not sure how to feel, wouldn't take 1 point before kick off.

I just can't understand why Fellaini was the free-man and we've made Rafael mark Drogba during corners, I just can't.

And crossing, too much of it with the aerial ability of Terry & Cahill duo.
 
You put a good set piece in the box, Fellaini will get you something. It was so fecking frustrating to have him parked in the box and get feck all in service all game long from Di Maria.
 
Good performance.

I thought Smalling and Rojo suit each other very well, just a shame that our set-piece tactics are so mental. Rafael marking Drogba! Really?
 
We shaded the first half and ultimately deserved our point.
 
Both RVP and our general mentality really needed that finish.

Decent result all things considered.
 
We played a lot better than expected, everyone (including me) thought we'd get destroyed.

Really good result in my eyes. The kind of result that can boost the confidence of the whole team.
 
We're a much better team than last season. No idea why Rafael was marking Drogba. Overall we matched them and on balance deserved the point.
 
Decent performance and result against the best team in the league. A draw was fair. Although we need to step still. Defence is still fragile and we need to start striking a little more fear into defences.
 
Very good first half performance. Second half we were poor but a late goal, as we so often did under Fergie.

Impressed by Shaw. De Gea was superb. Fellaini did better than I expected. Robin got a goal his performance deserved.

Massive goal, hopefully that is a turning point in our season and with Rooney, Falcao (hopefully) and others back, we should be looking forward to the game next week.
 
Good first 50 mins, then we went to sleep and let them take advantage, overall a draw was fair but we could have won with a better 2nd half performance.
 
Yeah, bad game for ADM but it happens. As long as he is firing again next weekend. Good goal for RVP. If he scored in the first half could have been a different game. MOTM Smalling for me. Loved that reaction from Carrick for our goal.
 
1st half very good, poor IMO in the 2nd, but don't give a man. Great result and huge goal
 
Good result in the end.

However, we were completely toothless for most of the game. Moving our best player away from his most effective position is idiotic. Need to keep Di Maria central or it becomes Fulham 2.0.
 
We had Phil Neville in the studio here and they picked up on Rafael marking Drogba at half time as well. I'll never understand that.

Decent result considering we had Rooney and Falcao out.
 
Fellaini was great. Replace Mata with Herrera/Rooney and RVP with Falcao/Rooney and I'd be feeling pretty confident about the City game.
 
Decent result and a very good display imo.

We dropped in the 2nd but lifted it up in the last 10 minutes.


All you who predicted 0-6 trashing I laugh at your face.

Special mention to Fellaini, MOTM for me. And RVP finnally broke the duck or whatever is the expression. :)

Massive point.
 
meh, both goals from set pieces. wasn't much to separate. Fellaini did pretty good job replacing Herrera
 
Our goal could completely transform our confidence going forward.
 
Happy with the result but regarding the team, its direction, its "philosophy" I don't know. I feel nothing and I think we're going nowhere.
 
We're back. My god I have missed this United. Fight and belief completely blew Chelsea out, even when they had the morale swing their way after their goal, our spirit grabbed the game right back. We should have won, but we'll settle for a great point.
 
I thought we played well, you've got to feel something is going to click soon.

Fellaini was very good too.
 
I am the only one not dazzled by our performance? We are still too slow and unproductive on the ball, it is amazing how often we take the ball backwards. No penetration.
