Oh well, that'll teach us not to take advantage of our dominance.

Jose's game plan, soak it up and wait for some Hazard magic. Round one to Jose.

Defo looked like Falcao was fouled before that. Hey ho, here's where Chelsea park the bus then.

You can dominate possession all you want, but it's hopeless with fkao up front. I wrote this off the moment I saw the line up.

Me too, but too many poor players out there for me to have any confidence. Shaw is reminding me why our resurgence coincided with his leaving the team; Falcao is a liability; Rooney isn't a defensive midfielder...etc

Mata is playing poorly, though, which can always change. If he starts firing, we could come back.

What happened with the Rooney effort at the start? Totally dominated that half, but we needed to score.

Not sure I'm seeing the same Shaw as you.

And Rooney is not playing as a defensive midfielder.

Did you not see it? In space 20 yards out stuck it wide.

He missed, when he should've scored, simple as that

He is playing as one of two centre midfielders, both of whom are having to do attacking and defending. He's not a good defender, and neither is Herrera.

Shaw has been average, and he's likely to revert to his usual form (dog st). Valencia (a winger) is doing a better job than him, as always.

Still, Chelsea look decidedly average and will be content to sit back, so if Mata and Rooney can start playing well going forward, we should score. Fellaini looks good, as always, so there is still hope.

We are at the other end. Everyone in the United end thought it had gone in so we started celebrating .. ... And the rent boys jumped on it.

So with the injuries what's the alternative in midfield?

Let's agree to disagree on Shaw. He's a kid learning his trade not dogst.

We're playing alright but it's a shame we couldn't make the most of it. Can't stand the frustrating Chelsea bus tactics but you can't deny it works.

We were jumping around the pub for a good 20 seconds before somebody shouted he missed. hehe

There isn't an alternative. No criticism of LvG - the team looks good enough all things considered!

Shaw is both, isn't he? He may well improve and become a good player, but he has been undoubtedly poor for Utd. Dog st is a bit harsh, I accept.

He hit it to curl it back in, but set it off too wide. It hit the post behind the goal and then fired back across the back of the goal. I thought it was in too.

Lazy effort in the context of the game.
