This is not how I thought this game would start

a notable lack of intensity and appetite for moving forward quickly.

Chelsea are not giving us the space the filth did in midfield and so we look cautious and a bit nervous

I was thinking the opposite. Press is heavy but we are giving a lot of space in midfield. They're causing us problems.

I wasn?t talking about the press but about our play generally, too slow again, we look lethargic to me

I'm wondering what Zubimendi is supposed to be doing. I can't work it out.

We've been quite sloppy. Eze's touch has let him down a few times

I?m torn on his performance, he looks more confident and is getting in positions to change the game, and then he f*cks them up :-(

We've had plenty of good situations and have made nothing of them. Need to do a lot better second half or we will lose this game.

Yes one better touch or one better final ball a number of times, but I thought we would be on control of this game, did not expect it to be this even

I expected pretty much this. :-(

Chelsea are not mugs. This was never going to he an easy game. And if you dont play well, you are going to be vulnerable. We haven't been good enough.

The unforced errors stink of the United game. So annoying

I thought this game was crucial, beat the filth away and Chelsea at home and we could really be in with a chance

So I expected a lot more

If we do blow this from here, that is the title race done.

Although I have previously declared it over :-)

It's like they say about going to war. Assume you are already dead and if you survive it is a bonus.

Nonsense! Assume you're going to get rich and sadly others may die.

Everyone needs a little luck. After all, professional elites are a minority too!
