Not exactly free flowing but Man United improved. Signs of link up play between Sanchez and Lukaku and to be fair Lukaku and Pogba both grew into the game.

Matic a great shield. Willian looks a yard sharper than everyone whenever I see him. 

Morata goal was onside.

Great result and just about deserved.  United played a much better second half, Chelsea just ran out of gas.   Close call on the offside goal, Lindelof's heel may have played Fabregas onside. But a win's a win so I can enjoy the rest of the day

From Premier League Champions to finishing outside the top 4. Again. 

The squad has its weaknesses, but this result is on Conte once more. From starting Morata, to actually keeping him on the pitch. Taking off Hazard and settling for a draw against a piss United side. So many bad decisions that directly led to us getting this result. People slate how poor Lukaku is, but Morata should be slated just as much, if not worse. The man literally gave the team nothing. A feather. Ruining our play by falling down at the slightest touch, in every occasion. When your centre-forward can't hold the ball against Ashley Young of all people, you know you've got it bad. 

One thing that needs to be mentioned is the focus and commitment of the players.

This being a prime example. Why is Willian laughing here when we are on the verge of losing and being out of the top 4 as the outcome? Earlier in the game, Morata was joking with Lukaku and DeGea for his missed chance. 

You never saw that with Terry, Drogba, or Lampard in a crucially important game. Really just shows the difference in mentality of our current lot compared to our spine, and it reflects on the pitch. 

 

Conte really proved me wrong today. He is actually proved to me that he is more conservative than Mourinho. Mourinho tweaked things at halftime, Conte didn't. Where in the first half, both teams needed to do better, Mourinho of all fucking people reacted. Conte only reacted when we were down a goal, as per usual. Contempt for a fucking draw against one of the worst United side in decades. 

 I await the day we appoint a manager with some balls. 

Rant over. Enjoy the day @Teso dos Bichos @DeadLinesman @Fusion

Played well in the first 60 odd minutes, much better in the first half in which United wasn't very good. In the last 30 minutes terrible, deserved to go down but overall a draw would be an okay result all things considered. As soon as they scored the 2nd they defended with 10 men and it was game over. The 343 will be the end of Conte, very easy to press and our wing backs are passengers. Morata was piss very poor, spent more time on the grass than on his feet, Lukaku probably had the best game in awhile which was surprising as we aren't a bottom five side. Still 10 games to go, we also have both contenders for the top 4 home Spurs and Liverpool. Bring on City next weekend.

Moses, Alonso, Morata all poor. Hazard approached the ball as if he was about to be crowned best player in the world but in reality didn't do anything and just got stroppy towards the end.

Should have been 2-2 but these things happen

Thought we might have got a draw today.. and that was before the offside decision made any difference to proceedings.. 

Don't really get why Conte is not using his options.. What is the point of having Morata on if he is just not performing, why not bring Giroud on and shake things up a bit and give United something else to think about?? Not shocked we are struggling this season but disappointed we are not doing better or being more consistent. Its turning an average season into a fairly poor one..
