Premier League - Manchester United vs Chelsea

Disappointing result, but at the end of the day we've extended our lead over city which is what's most important. Hopefully we don't make the same mistake vs Liverpool

Bran seriously cost us the game here.

Oh well, we're still undefeated and 4 points clear, not that but, it feels like a loss though.

Having cooled down a bit from my usual fury after dropping points, would probably have to say it was a very even game and a draw was a fitting result. We had some poor luck with the officiating (Ivanovic was never a sending off, denied penalty on him in the first half, etc.) but they were much better than I'd expected (at both ends) and a point from Old Trafford with our third choice striker leading our line isn't bad at all. Didn't even play particularly well and still could, and probably should, have won it. Hard to complain about that.

I agree, also agree on the Mourinho tactics, we were controlling the game, then he brought Mikel on and we parked the bus, he could have waited another 10 minutes or so.

It's a fair argument.


Lost 4 points in 2 games in Manchester from late goals borne out of our sitting back trying to protect what we had.

Good summation of the game

Pretty much sums up Dowd's evening. And Fabregas'...

Speaking of which, considering the two sides playing today, I'm surprised I didn't once hear his song

Neither. Heard top of the league a lot though

Mourinho on the game:
-

"My team played a fantastic game, it's not easy to play here against Manchester United, a Manchester United that tried to play very compact and hit us on the counter attack."

"We were fantastic, especially in the second half. It was a top-class performance, good control, we could score a couple more goals."

"The result is not the one we wanted, we came to win but the performance is fantastic. The result, not so, but acceptable."

Immaturity to blame for Old Trafford collapse, says Drogba:
Didier Drogba says immaturity and lack of control are to blame for Chelsea's failure to hold onto their 1-0 lead against Manchester United at Old Trafford this weekend

"Today we had a good game. We are disappointed with the result, we are disappointed because we played good today."

"With a little more luck with the referee and a little bit more control or maturity of the last few seconds we could win the game, but the desire was fantastic today."

"The team was playing very well, we came here confident and when you see the disappointment at the final whistle you can understand that we came here to win, so the desire was big and that's what we have."
