I thought the game was over once Jorginho scored the penalty for Chelsea but Casemiro saved us at the last minute, really enjoyed the passion in his celebration as well. He's made a positive difference to us since he joined. Still a bit annoyed that it wasn't all 3 points though due to the penalty that we conceded.

 

Such an important result that, had we lost all the goodwill built up in the past few weeks would have been extinguished but rescuing that point at the death was massive for self-confidence and the fact it was against Chelsea who are directly above in the table keeps them within our sights (though now we've Toon army sneaking around the outside!)

 

You'd like to think that, having got all of the games vs the big 6 (big 7 now?) out of the way, we can kick on but it's usually the lesser teams that cause us the most problems so expecting a few more dodgy games this side of the WC.

The Chelsea and Liverpool results definitely giving us a good chance. Need to take advantage of it tomorrow.

Not pretty but it's 3 points.

 

Defence was solid.

Honestly I love the hysteria around Rashford. Last season he was a fraud and now because of a few goals he's an absolute must for England at the WC. As a United fan he should be nowhere near England's starting XI.

Indeed on the hyperbole point1

Agreed. I think it's because there's a real alternative lack to Kane. He is undoubtedly a good player, but he's not kicked on. But for what it's worth, I think he's off on the plane.

I think Rashford has probably done enough to start for England and if not start, then certainly should be in the squad.

 

When you look at the players England have played in that position over the past few years (Sterling, Grealish, Saka, Foden, Mount, Bowen, Sancho, Lingard, Smith Rowe) the only ones that you can say have been better than him this season are Saka and Foden and they both prefer to play on the right side which leaves Rashford as the obvious choice for LW to me. And with Saka going off injured yesterday hopefully he will be fit enough to play too.

Will be tough, need to win by 2 due to the goal difference against Real Sociedad.

 

 

It will indeed. Could really have done with this game being a dead rubber to give some players a rest but alas, this is the sitch we're in!

What on earth was that second half from Ten Hag? United looked in a decent position but that formation change to 3-3-3-1 was disastrous. Didn’t have any control in the game at all after that. Especially crazy when they could have kept the normal 4-3-3 and kept players in their normal positions. Why were they playing Bruno on the right and Rashford at CAM? Why were Dalot and Shaw playing CB?

Maguire up top was my personal fave. Man went full Sam Allardyce!

The match was on DAZN here so I wasn’t watching but I have never in my entire life been so confused upon opening twitter as when I saw „Maguire is playing as centre forward next to Ronaldo“. I thought I was having a f***ing stroke

That was the Alien Resurrection of football performances. It was dreadful and everybody involved should feel bad.

Mings knew exactly what he’was doing there.

Would like to hear is Utd fans still think Ronaldo is a Saint!

What an incredible finish that was. Garnacho you beauty!!

A certain chat with Piers Morgan?

He’s said some downright bizzare things. Not really sure I get it, the only funny thing is it probably tarnishes his idealistic legacy with the fans now. Messi still the GOAT!
