    You had more possession but that don't win games. We were more clinical and defended better basically restricting you to one shot off the post.

    Trouble with Lloris is when he has a mare he has a proper one...he has to save that and he knows it.,

    You got lucky overall, they were the better side, but I'm pleased they got done at Wembley again, I hope they lose every game they play there, as they shouldn't be using the National Stadium, simple as.

    He's a great keeper but he's got to save that.

    We needed the pace out wide to open you up. But with Rose injured and Walker sold!..,

    They huffed and puffed but were restricted to just one real chance. As I've stated possession don't win games.

    As a neutral who enjoyed watching two average teams scrap it out, I thought the Chavs were lucky to get anything from the game.

    Good result for United.

    They dominated possession. I'd say first half it was pretty even. Kane misses his 1 on 1 and hits the post. Morata misses a sitter for us.

    2nd half we were a bit more ragged and a bit of desperate defending but i didn't feel like they had any major chances. They won a load of poxy free kicks from diving around all over the place whereas we had the better opportunities. Kane misses a header but willian hits the post, moses blazes over.

    As usual a tight match played by both sides

    Standard tactical battle between two top clubs and 2 managers who are tactical. No doubt when united visit any of the top 6 it will be standard cagey affair guaranteed.

    First 20/25 mins I thought you were the better side, but then they got hold of the game and should have done better with the final ball / finish on a number of occasions, you were on the back foot for the best part of an hour. They deserved the equaliser and then they gifted you a winner.

    If he leaves that Toby sticks that in anyway imo. It was a ****er of a ball tbf, those inswingers that Eriksen delivers are virtually impossible to defend. Morata came within a whisker of the same fate from one in the first half

    Just been looking at next weeks fixtures and there's a couple with definite meltdown potential. Pool v Arse for one and espescially Newcastle v West Ham.

    I don't doubt that. Certainly in the case of Chelsea as I saw Morata waddle about up front today.

    We rarely have 6 defenders fit at the same time.

    You don't need 6 defenders. You just select 4 defenders and then the next 6 biggest players and ask them to stand outside the box to head everything out.

    Is jose your new messiah stan as you werent quite happy with the appointment and last season?
