Post-match discussion


Sat, 24 October 2020

Paid the price for a cowardly team selection.
 
Will record this match to watch whenever I have problems sleeping.
 
This is all on Ole and his shit decisions today. Stupid lineup, gave both Mata and James 55 minutes. Diabolical decision to even let James go out for the second half. Then he fecked up again by moving Bruno to the right, completely taking him off the game and letting McTominay and Fred pass the ball around like if we were 3-0 up. Put Greenwood on way too late too, the kid created two chances out of nowhere and made more in 5 minutes than James has done the entire season.

Crazy how he can smile about this at the end. And what is the point of VDB? He's been great in every game that he's played and yet nowhere to be seen.
 
Blerg. Not much else to say.
 
who needs sancho when you can start James in big games?
 
Both managers got what they wanted, which is a point and no injuries. Although Frank will be more happy with a draw, as we were close to scoring a couple of times.

We lost our shape after taking off Mata and playing whatever formation that was supposed to be (Bruno on the right though?). Wan Bissaka collapsed, not sure what we expected him to do and sure as feck he didn't know that even more.

It's weird time for Manchester United to have nobody who can crosss the ball.

We all knew we will be in trouble for not signing a proper winger, just didn't know those issues will hit us so soon. Greenwood must've really fecked up if James is getting in ahead of him. I will spare Dan as it's on Ole if he thinks he's ready for premier league, let alone a top club.

2 points lost, and it's on Ole. Too much respect for Chelsea.
 
Got the subs wrong today. Had a good basis to go on and win the game and we didn't do much with it.
 
We played to compensate for Maguire’s lack of pace and a central midfield of Fred and McTominay is only effective when you’re the underdog. Neither are good enough on the ball. Still should’ve won though because Chelsea offered nothing.
 
An absolute head scratcher tactically. Last week was clearly a fluke.
 
So presumably it’s now okay for this current crop to now not even bother trying to win home games against average teams.
Pathetic and gutless performance all round in all honestly. Winless in five at home, not really good enough.
 
Disappointed. Chelsea were there for the taking, but we just seemed scared of losing
 
I guess that's the expected result when you set out not to lose... If you have to set out a whole team to cover for the deficiencies of your CB pairing, then maybe you're playing the wrong centre back(s)
 
We were at home and wasted 45 minutes playing like the away team. Chelsea offered very little and never looked like they actually wanted to win. Piss poor dreadful game.
 
We could have won if ole hadn't played James and played more attacking.

Also, free VDB
 
Ranchero on CAF was more entertaining than the match. Terrible. How low have we sunk. Not even Moyes was this boring. At least he tried to get some crossed in.
 
Terrible game but should've won. One way traffic second half and Chelsea clearly happy to take a point. We need to start going for the kill more when games are there for the taking...
 
Don’t think De Gea made a save? I really think 3 at the back is the way to go for us. We just don’t look balanced playing the 4-2-3-1
 
I thought Lindelof had his best game for us today

James probably his worst but there's so many awful ones to choose from
 
Both teams deserved to lose. One good shot from Rashford and a "nearly a dream start" for Cavani. Otherwise, meh.
