Any views on this afternoons match?
I thought united showed some encouraging signs, especially after Everton last weekend. If only we could net some more penailties :rolleyes:
Jose was 'full of praise' here (http://www.sufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Match/ManagersDetail/0,,10418~919333,00.html)

Hmm A difficult one, I thought the Blades were superb in the first half, but Chelsea's second killed the game and I felt both the crowd and the players faded after that.

There were a lot of positives to be taken from the game, I thought some of the Midfield play and Defending were good, but we have to a bit more decisive in the final third, it sometimes seems to me that the players lack a bit of self-belief in the opponents half and tend to panic and rush things. I think the penalty misses this season are endemic of this.

So overall ok, but we need to start picking up some points, if we can stay in touch until the transfer window opens I think we've a good chance of staying up.

Agreed, agreed.

Speaking as a neautral who was at the match, it was a walk in the park for Chelsea. Had United scored the penalty, or Chelsea hadn't got the second when they did, it might have been more of a game but Chelsea always looked like they could step it up a gear if required but luckily for them, they never had too. United looked poor to be honest.

Chelski didn't get out of second gear it was painful to be honest.

First half - Utd were well in it and THAT penalty could have changed the game. Second half, I have to agree - easy for Chelski and if they had stepped it up we could have been soundly beaten.
