Something is very off. Grateful for the 3 points, but more questions than answers

 

[Roachy]

First 10 mins of that 2nd half is the way ahead.

We’re struggling to find form, good win against a poor Chelsea side. Not sure what the answer

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Not a happy clapper but always a very happy clapper with this class team. Very hard fought victory against a stubborn Chelsea team. Well done all.

Shocking from a few of our players and a very poor performance again but a welcome 3 points.

Personally I think trying to fit KDB and Haaland in is costing us overall, despite their individual brilliance.

Foden, Cancelo, KDB all pretty shockingly bad but I suspect that is more down to formation.

Would like to see us try a midfield 3 of Rodri, Bernardo and Foden with Mahrez and Grealish wide and proper full backs. Need some legs in midfield. Rodri can't do it all on his own.

Made hard work of that, but a big and much needed result.

John Stones was world class.

Rico Lewis should be starting for the foreseeable.

Grealish is starting to get there.

Onwards and upwards from here please.

Maybe we would be better with you in charge instead

We'll never know so maybe we would...one of life's great mysteries

Really poor performance, particularly in the first half, but a big three points. This Chelsea team are poor, but it’s never an easy place to go. Need to be a lot better at Old Trafford though.

It was far from pretty but got the all-important 3 points.

What worries me most is the ease at which the opposition can get through us in the middle of the park. Gundo and KDB are like statues when we don’t have the ball and the pair of them weren’t much better on the ball tonight.

The subs changed the game but the cynic in me thinks Pep played it that way with what he said pre-match. Finally the Grealish/Mahrez partnership produces.

Stones absolutely fantastic.

 

[Gundoggin]

Massive 3 points . You have to grind it out when you’re not playing well to be Champions . And whatever pep did with those substitutions it got us the goal !
