    It's two club emblems and a few words, not much to comment on.

    Chelsea's setup last night couldn't be any more of a display of why United did not want Jose taking over.

    He has never sent his teams out to play the kind of attacking football United want to play. When you have a team that cost that much and send them out to get a point it beggars belief. Ba has scored against United in the past so has Torres and Lukaku was scoring last season but Jose didn't want to concede more than he wanted to score.

    Some Chelsea fans might say "We were **** but we got a point so that's good" Well Chelsea were **** because they had no attack and decided to not play football before kickoff. A shame really as this game was expected to be a good one. There was no tactical genius as some pundits try to make out, it was a football cop out and some more Jose brand football. Not playing strikers at OT was cowardice of the highest order tbh.

    Good analysis as usual Sisu. I hope we play 6 at the back with no striker against Liverpool and just about nick it 1-0 <ok>.

    Were you happy to see Chelsea line up without a striker for, probably, the first time in the club's history? Bizarre, arguably cowardly, team selection from a manager who doesn't like teams parking the bus. If his strikers weren't already convinced that he thinks they're **** they will be now!

    Shows what you know about Schurrle and also shows you haven't been watching Barca or Spain for the last few years. It didn't work last night but it was clear to anyone what Jose's intention was with the attacking players he picked. How is a team with Oscar, Schurrle, Hazard, Lampard and De Bruyne meant to be defensive? Both teams played it tight and cancelled each other out. Won't be the first time or the last (see also 2007 cup final).

    Schurrle can play both flanks and up top, he did for Leverkusen many times. I'd rather have seen Lukaku but I'm not overly fussed.

    Everyone and their dog expected Chelsea to play with one up top (probably Torres). Jose tried something different (as good managers do now and then). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But at the end of the day had United scored we'd have come out more but they didn't and a point is a better result for us.

    I did actually, all of it infact, we should've had a penalty when Lampard handled the ball, but as usual, Atkinson helps you out like he usually does.

    It worked for Spain! :)
    He tried something, it didnt really work out. Like I said, both teams too afraid to lose. We didnt field a striker...Utd have a midfield with no teeth.
    Thinking about it, was always going to be dull.

    That's sugar coating what was a clear demonstration that Mourinho thinks his strikers are ****. Had Benitez picked a team with no strikers you'd all be hysterical with rage.

    A point is marginally the better result for Chelsea as obviously you were away but I'm not disappointed with the draw. Moyes and the players were under massive pressure, if United had lost the game there would been a media and ABU frenzy. As it was at no point did we ever look like losing so a drab, 0-0 draw suited us and a few "experts" are now remembering that we pissed the league last season! Two more BLOCKBUSTERSUPERSKYSPECTACULAR games to navigate and United can get on with the business of defending their title while Jose works on his soundbites and column inches.

    Moyes will be compared to Sir Alex all season. So far he's picked up 4 points from two games in which United amassed 1 point last season. Not bad considering we were expected to be on 0 points at this stage of the season (not sure why though).

    I was always under the impression that hand ball was a deliberate act of cheating. That's not what Lampard did.

    Then you were under the wrong impression. If you raise your hands to protect your face you're not cheating but you are contravening the laws of the game and being a massive tart in the process.

    Wasn't a penalty last night though but have seen them given.

    As for Atkinson, I don't think he's biased, I just think he's one of the worst PL referees.

    As United are now a midtable team that are in decline and Chelsea the self proclaimed best team in the world, they come to OT and park the bus shocking result from them... As with last season I believe Chelsea will go on a run of losses now because no one will fear them.

    I feel really sorry for the Man Utd supporters on this board, having to put up with this idiot.
    He has systematically raped their board and just fills it with his verbal diarrhea. He has had about half a dozen site bans but just makes new log ins and comes back.....why, when he hasnt changed one iota, is he not just instantly banned again as soon as he reveals himself as Meth.
    He doesnt even have the guile to try hide who he is.....not that he could to be honest.
