Chelsea v Manchester United : Official Match Thread : 28/2/21 4:30pm

Hasselbaink is full of shit.

11 men behind the ball. No there wasn’t.

United always attacked loads at Stamford bridge.

Did we? Most of my memories of going down there are losing and Barely ever scoring. Like Fergie never made us more resolute in bigger games. Many players have said he would set up differently, for example.

For real.

remember when we'd complain about Park or Fletcher?

christ they'd walk into this side in their sleep.

tuchel thinks it was a high quality game.

we could have done with macgyver. :0)

Lindelof and Maguire played well, actually i thought the whole defence was solid as £#%&!, hardly gave Chelsea a sniff

Fred played well too, passing, tackling and the odd shot was much better from him. The Scottish Player was terrible, but no surprise really, he’s got the right mentality to succeed at this club (similar to Dan James) but doesn’t have the quality to justify starting for us week in week out, he might be the worse passer of the ball in our midfield, which says a lot considering how inconsistent Fred’s passing is.

Rashford anonymous, Greenwood did well i thought in patches unlucky to get subbed ahead of Rashford.

Dan James is our best option on the right because he helps us keep our shape better and his recovery pace gets him out of trouble defensively but on the ball, apart from that one cross in the 2nd half, he’s average. oddly reminds me of Adama Traore in that way, all the pace in the world no end product.

still think if we were better coached and didn’t heavily rely on Bruno and Rashford we could have knicked a victory or two from a couple of these games against the top six.

cavani is fine if the ball lands on his head, but he missed a sitter v arsenal.

the stupid f***ing balls we keep playing to midfielders and strikers with their backs to goal..... stupid. we need balls played for players to run onto. The Scottish Player's was the big chance to play that ball, bug our crosses generally were woeful. james got one decent one in, too, but he is shit for a winger.

Can't really take anything you write about Cavani seriously pal, because even when he plays well and scores, you say he played shite.

Having a proper, experienced centre forward leading the line would probably be more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

Is any part of a player’s performance or confidence down to them?

The narrative has been created, the onus was entirely on united to entertain everyone away from home at Chelsea.

Chelsea spent 250m in the summer did £#%&! all 2nd half. Hilarious.

i feel sad about thomas tuchel's hairline.

It all rests on the summer transfer window.

Get this right then and only then we can stand a chance.

Where the £#%&! is he?

Feels like he’s been out for a month

Need him back ASAP.

Tuchel making a tit of himself. Says Greenwood handballed it.

He knows.

So yeah. They aren't bad - but they're not good enough to take us that next step.

when none of us it strikers can play well consistently i would first look at the coaching personally.

i’m sure others disagree but i think if we stuck Halaand into this lineup he would struggle just as much as Martial and co.

no one player is gonna save us.

H = Harry Maguire

At least he had some £#%&!ing balls, I’ll give him that much.

If the ref has said that to Maguire it's a disgrace.

Keane-

“As you know I don’t like players that chase down the officials”

Souness again saying it’s not a penalty without saying why.

I think the only thing needed is to look at how attackers who left United in the last 18 months are doing at their new clubs.

Of course but the system is king. Very hard for the individual to perform if the collective is not working.
