It is so important after this result to keep our heads high. Although we have lost against United we played so so well. To come back from 2 goals down against United takes grit and determination and we that and looked likely to win the match. It's a shame that the ref made so many mistakes today and we have been robbed but we must focus on the match on Wednesday and the next league game at Swansea. I'm so proud of the team going down to 9 men and still causing United trouble. The fans were superb today as well chanting all the way through and staying behind the tea through the thick and thin. I'm not that disheartened tbh despite defeat. We are still top of the league and have played ever so well this season. Lets get back to winning ways against United on Wednesday and then Swansea on Saturday. KTBFFH
I know exactly what you mean, Buck. When we played United recently, we had to really dig in. We won that match, of course. At OT, too.
Well said that man despite having the rug pulled from under our feet by the men in black the team showed a lot fight and resillience today; they can use this to fire themselves up for the rest of the season starting on Wednesday. Just come from the Utd board and the spin doctors are working overtime especially in justifying the Torres dismissal.
Well I'm really proud of our team as basically united only scored 1 goal today, and still even when we were down to 9 men they weren't able to see us off as they should have done. In fact at one point I thought we were close to getting another goal.
Yep. A lot of positives to take forward. We are the best team in England at the mo and reckon we are good for a top 3 finish
This Chelsea side will go on and get better. Imagine 2 goals down at 15 mins under AVB we would have never got back.
You can't judge any team on how they play against United simply because the playing field isn't level. We will know how good this team is once we've played Man City. The most annoying thing today is that on paper United's next 6 games are piss easy once they've taken on Arsenal. I'm no Arsenal fan to say the least but ill be praying they beat United because we might not find ourselves top for much longer if they don't. Today has changed the entire outlook of things. Had United lost today (which they would have but for the ref) I'd go as far as saying there would have been almost no way back for them. Once City click into gear they'll be hard to stop, Chelsea also. As it is City at home is looking like a must win game now when it could and should have been a game we could afford to draw
Me too, patience is almost spent with him, would have loved him to click into gear, but I have to say he should be a write-off given the output we have had.
I'd have been more upset with this result if we'd been fairly outplayed! As it was we were beaten by an incompetent ref. We had more possession, more shots on target, and apart from the first 25 minutes we were playing with them! There's a lot at stake here and for that reason I think Clattenberg should face some kind of discipline!
No one should be surprised about Klattenburg. There are precious few good refs around, there are plenty of Man Utd biased refs around, but he is as bent as a U bolt. Please no one ever again try and defend Man U against bias, it just doesn't wash.
Today proved to me that we are title contenders before today we were prospects but we have joined City and United as title contenders now!
