We improved massively in the second half and although not vintage, we came from behind to win for the first time in a long time. Chelsea did disappear in the second half though, which helped. It was £#%&!ing freezing at OT today. |

Genuinely no idea where that second half performance came from.
Credit to Mourinho, he got it spot on after the break. Great to see The Lump manning up and taking the game by the scruff. He had those Chelsea bastards shitting themselves. Matic got better as the game went on. Several times towards the end he picked the ball up and drove forward taking pressure off our back line. The sort of thing we’ve all too often failed to do when under pressure. Big Scott McTommyGunn was great. Smothered Hazard all day. Did everything you’d want from Herrera minus the stupid fouls and general @#%&!ery. A very mature performance from the lad. Even Pogba wasn’t a total liability. Defensively we’re still a concern, but it’s funny how, when we actually go out and attack teams, more often than not we come out on top. Fingers crossed the manager bears that in mind for the remainder of the season. And we need to stick with three in midfield, the balance is so much better when we aren’t trying to crowbar in a £#%&!ing “number 10” () |

Remarkable turn around, after 30 mins I would not have waged any money on Utd so comfortable did Chelsea look. makes me wonder if Mou was looking to play the long game and expecting the Barca game to tell. Delighted Victor Moses was playing for Chelsea, has so much space in the first half with Sanchez and and then Martial wondering and did nothing with it. Looking back Chelsea flattered to deceive all game, had that one amazing moment all match when Morata hit the bar after a superb move but defensively Utd were fairly comfortable after the goal, midfield finally doing a decent job of protecting the defenders in a big game.
Still not happy Utd surrendered so much of the ball and initiative but they needed the win badly. |

Loved the days of Giggs, cantona, Keane, kanchelskis but for me we were brilliant to watch 06/07. |
