Can't believe you're saying this. Have you never seen a Mourinho team before? We've said exactly this for 6 seasons at Chelsea.
We have better players than Chelsea ever had so don't need to sit back 
The worst scenario for entertainment was to score early. If we scored after 10 minutes I'd ask my son "shall we go".
This is the Mourinho way.

More of the same until pogbas back if he continues to play fellaini.
I think that's a bit unfair. He's been one of our most consistently good, if not exciting players. Pog played against Stoke and we were truly awful in that game. We've been inconsistent this season in terms of performance. The worry is that away from home, we've been hanging on against relatively poor teams (Stoke and Soton), who could easily have beaten us. But let's put it into perspective, we're unbeaten, and only one team has scored against us in the league.
I think he's fine to bring on last 20 minutes but we don't control midfield when he plays in a 2.
Thought miki is a worry ,despite the assists I'm not sure what he does ,lose the ball a lot it seems.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the fact that we played w
k second half but took the points,a good sign ,and we also showed good character and resolve and defended well,for all the possession they had second half they created nothing .But aesthetically fellaini in a midfield 2 causes us issues.Edited by franki68 on Sunday 24th September 09:30

So it's business as usual then... abysmal standard of football, scrappy goal and relying on the donut thief to get anything from the game.
Don't panic, I reckon it'll only take another quarter of billion pounds (on top of the half a billion already spent) for utd to be there or thereabouts.
Laugh it up fuzzball, we're second behind City on goal difference, conceded 2 since the season kicked off. You may not know but championships are built on winning ugly, almost every team in history that's won the league has won games like yesterday. I only watched the first half but read about the second. Sounds like Jonesy had a good game by all accounts. Sometimes it takes an unsung hero to pop up and be the man.

Miki is really not playing well. I'd put mata at 10 and play Martial on the wing. That would really make teams think about pushing too many players up against us.
Miki is doing OK, as an attacking player he will lose the ball as he's expected to take people on and to create chances, one of the most difficult things to do. We miss Pogba, I agree Fellaini just can't do what Pogba does. Miki and Mata does make us a little lightweight but they are decent footballers. If we dominate possession that's when you need them on the pitch. Lukaku has proven a masterstroke so far.
