wtf is that line up? Is it 4-2-3-1 with Oscar and hazard playing on either side of cesc?

Seems that way

Mou really has out done himself here

Thought that was in from Rugney

Dreadful

Shocking for 40 minutes then snatch the lead in time for halftime. Mourinho to a tee

HT: 1-0


If we thought that first half was boring, just wait for the second now that we've taken the lead

LMAO

I knew Zouma would play alongside Matic to defend Fellaini, but gosh we are treating Fellaini like he is Mardona/Pele/Zidane/Messi.

Oscar

Leading 1-nil at home and Mikel not brought on until stoppage time???

FT: Chelsea 1-0 United


GET INNNN

ffs

The predictiable one won us another league.

And Zouma

Rubbish game to watch but I guess the result was all that mattered, only moment of quality resulted in a goal.

I shat myself at the end of the game, at first viewing couldn't tell thought it was a pen but obviously once replay showed it was such a dive.

Well yes. A prototypical Mourinho boreathon but the 3 points is all that matters. Had a mini-heart attack at the end there myself as well but yes, it was a dive clear as day on replay.

What a great result!
I am glad we kept it tight and got the win, As soon as we scored, I knew if we got to half time in the lead, we'd win.

The dive game me a mini heart attack too. Glad the ref got it correct.

Drogba was poor for the most part, we really need someone better.

Oscar, Fabregas and Hazard were all fantastic.

Zouma looked lost at points but did fine overall, really kept Fellaini quiet.

Terry He really wants to win the title again

If Herrera was ours he would be vilified for dive, says Mourinho

I honestly don't get the Herrera hype. He does a few good things but too many brain farts which cost Utd. If we had a more clinical CF, we would have put away more goals just down to his mistakes.

He has had a few good games for them, he's just way too inconsistant for me

Some of the passes he made were 'DL4 mistake' level, and see how everyone treats him.

Everyone should read this article:
http://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2015/4/19/8452001/jose-mourinho-chelsea-vs-manchester-united

Sums up the silliness of everyone criticising us perfectly.

Shed doesn't go near that website I hear

He should read it regardless.

I find the article quite ridiculous tbh.

1. It assumes that all critiques of Mou and his tactics are purists of football. Which is dumb, some actually believe that his result oriented style Is not going to last and not sustainable. These tactics are short term fixes, and in the long term it is going to hurt us. Added United had their chances, they were just not clinical. Teams like Alti and PSG showed in the cl, It is not going to work and made us look stupid.

2. The Floyd comparison is quite dumb. Floyd maybe a counter attacking specialist in the sport. But he gets in your face and forces u to throw punches. his knockout ratio is not that different then say PacMan, a more aggressive fighter.



A comparable boxer would be someone lets say that win based on wasting time and on decisions. That fighter I'd not Floyd.

3. Spurs and Seahawks comparison is also dumb. American football, the offense and defense are independent of each other. You don't have to sacrifice one for another. Seahaws hava a great defense but on offense they try to score on every possession. The sport is based on physical play, hard hits and dominant defense is loved by the viewers.

There are so many rules in basketball that encourages offense. like 3 point and 24 clock violation. They also have a rule preventing player to act like a wall inside the paint, he cannot tower in the side the paint more then 3 seconds. I can really go on and on tbh, the sport has been changed and defined so many times to ensure there isn't an equivalent "parking the bus" tactic in the sport.
