And, we're off.....2016/17

[Rlburnside]

United were not looking to good up to they scored to many square passes, Chelsea were unlucky ref didn't give that handball, gave United confidence after the goal and they dominated the first half.

Hope United get the win.

Saving them for games they can win.

Best I've seen United play this season if not a lot longer.

Poorest I've seen us play, taking nothing away from Utd's constant pressure but even when we've had some possession we've given the ball away cheaply with short or wayward passes.

Not a good day but a wounded animal can be more dangerous and we're still 4 points clear with a better run in I believe.

Wanted Chelsea to win, but as you say you came up a Utd team putting in their best performance for a long time, I think it was their performance that reflected on yours, League is still yours to lose, which I can't see tbh.

Yep Chelsea very poor today.
Utd were solid at the back.
As good as UTD were,Pogba still looks pretty average.
Or am I being harsh?

Never seen Hazard and Costa so quiet - Herrera just controlled Hazard very well - must be a strange day if Fellani controls the midfield. Was that a one off or Chelsea vulnerable if they lose a couple of players - or even just the one today in Alonso ?

That's going to be a big boost for Spurs

Gap was 10 points 2 weeks ago and now it's only 4.

Uniteds win makes the run in interesting now, Chelsea have a easier run in than Spurs but you never know, it's possible it could come down to goal difference

I'd have liked to see Costa taken off early in the second half pushing Hazard up front with Fab being brought on earlier and then get Willian (on for Moses) & Pedro down the flanks and make Utd adjust and think more.

It's done now, we move on, but neither Spurs or Chelsea play a league match now for over a week as we play each other in the FA Cup semi-final, which this result has set-up a real humdinger of a match, on & off the pitch 😜

Being harsh, very harsh,
Take away the price tag and the any team would take the Pog,

No thanks.

So, looking at the remaining fixtures I can only see Chelsea losing one game,
Are you hoping Spurs beat you's? They'll need to, to stand a chance.

Eh? utd not looking good? They scored after 7 mins!! Tough school at the lane

Lpool good win, shudda been more but again we could of threw it away.

Mignolet again the savior. Here's hoping he gets some credit from the match goers 😛

But I don't think you should take away the price tag.
When a player costs £90m I think they should stand out in games.
Neymar,Bale & Ronaldo all cost similar money and after watching them play I think they look class.
Pogba just doesn't stand out.
Just my opinion.

How did Moreno miss that?

 

[kmdmr1]

No thanks.

You would,the lads 24 years old,came with a big price tag, not his fault,
Chelski cannot afford him,and Man Utd can....

What's your point about him being 24?

Maybe 2nd season back Pogba will fire, he's been decent but not a standout like he was at Juve. Agree Chelsea still in control of PL, much easier run in than Spurs.

I would take the Pogba that played at Juve , the one that controlled the game , was physical and creative on the ball , he was superb for them and i expected him to do a lot better in the Prem but right now even at £10 mil he has been poor
