Conte is prouving his creative mind day after day. realy he build a strong tactic for each game. For exemple the man with the most interceptions and the most defensive actios is a crucial factor in chelsea recent games. 7.75 then 8.4 then 8.2 in this game.excelent performance .who is this man?
@What4 I wasn't saying what the score would have been and I don't care. I just think it's funny Rooney wasn't in the squad considering he gets stick for everything
@TacticalMastermind2.0- A lot of it is justified though. We shouldn't be producing unintelligent footballers with minimal technical ability or vision. There have been better technicians on his street striker series. Having said that, he doesn't put himself in the team and, I agree with your intimation that Utd's (and England's for that matter) problems are more far reaching than Rooney. Zlatan's 11.25 shots per goal, Pogba's general inability to positively affect the game against good midfields, their defence looking porous as soon as they face sustained pressure and Jose's general negative tactics/attitude are all contributing in synergy. Not that I care. Had enough of Utd in the 90s/early 00s.
Ouch. Mourinho better start taking the Europa cup seriously now since it looks like Utd's most likely (only?) way to reach the champions league next season.
@ardentprofound You guys should stop obsessing so much over one player, 11 players play like garbage and you point out one. Not exactly his fault so much money was paid
@ChelseaRgr8 Because his approach to the game is dated ! He doesn 't have any idea or concept about the game other than defense and someone up front should score somehow. But he doesn't teach them how, he expect the players to know. All he ever teach is character, character and character...
The rest the team has to figure out themself.
As a United Fan. I feel contented with the loss. We are not that bad as those goals say. The 1st goal on the 1st minute changed the Tempo. United opened up. Chelsea Closed up they defended in numbers. United pressed left spaces and that's how The 4-0 can be explained. Good job Chelsea you revenge is on Mourinho not US. Well done
@njamimaranga Actually as a United fan we were rubbish. We were rubbish against Liverpool with the worst possession stats since..I don't know..FOREVER! When you park the bus you are literally saying, "We are not as good as you" and that's not acceptable at Man Utd. So anyone who bets on matches knew this was coming. Chelsea watched that Liverpool game and thought, "United are rubbish! We're fully rested with no CL or Europa games. They've had a midweek game too. I think we're quite confident we'll beat them" & boom! A goal before we even had time to park the bus! Even the driver was asking, "Do you still want me to park in front of goal?" So we had to play football & got raped. Simple.
the problem is Ibrahimovic too old already, he can't run faster, he can't make chance by himself. Other MU players must try as good as can to pass the ball arrive ibrahim's foot.
No salvation without Mkhitaryan !
Let me teach you football, Mourinho.
Mkhitaryan is not winger. He is No 10. Playmaker !
It's not because he has great speed that you must let him play on the wing.
He's the playmaker of Armenian National team.
Let him play once and you'll see that I'm right.
Manchester United are the most physical team in B. Premier League. They will not be out muscled by anybody. They have a strong squad physically. There's nothing irritating but by Bieng outmuscled. Their aggression. Strength. Aerial threat. It's going to be a hard game for Chelsea even more harder if United score first.
Chelsea have a line of problems. No solid formation. Conte not sure of 3-4-3 or 4-3-1-2 formation. Chelsea no Oscar no Fabregas. Who's their playmaker anyway? It's gonna be a hard time for Costa,with fellaini and Bailley bullying him physically. I remember one time Mourinho used Kourt Zouma on Fellaini. I can tell you Fellaini was outclassed. Haha. It was desperate to see Fellaini. This time round is Fellaini on Costa. And this where a Card comes out. I fail to see how Chelsea will score especially with De Gea blazing. Chelsea Back 3? They guys flatter against attacking strong sides. This a win for Manchester United, Chelsea 0-2 Manchester United.
@njamimaranga De Gea really blazing mate. 4 goals And you were right , Costa was so bulied he couldn't dribble.
I mean Costa got 4 driblle attempts and the Mighty Ibrahimovic got 0 who really flew through the Chelsea backline.
And Mr. Gary Cahill , the worst guy on the pitch , had 90% Pass Success and had 4% of Chelsea's posession. Compared to the best of Man Utd's defence - Smalling - did a great job by making an error and also making way for Pedro to score in 33 seconds.
Man Utd clearly should have won , right mate?
@njamimaranga Physicality is not everything. Man united don't have the right tempo and pace to their game. The movement of MU player in attacking zones is nowhere the level of Chelsea. The first goal shows that.
Two penalties and red card most likely in this game. I fear Fellaini late tackle might affect the game. Carrick could have been better placed in mid. De gea as usual man of the match. Man u win here 1-0
Manchester United can't win this given that they played on Monday, versus Liverpool and on Thursday, versus Fenerbahçe . They'll be fatigued, I expect Chelsea to win by 3-1. Diego Costa to score at any time.
surprised whoscored tips rashford over lingard. they seem to have a soft spot for Martial too as they tippped him to play against liverpool but no such luck. for utd continuing with lingard and martial on the flanks would make sense. they where the real difference makers in thursdays match
Don't support either team but I think a fairly boring 1-1. Costa is good but he's also up against a good defence whereas ibrahimavich is dropping off but could still bully David Luiz. Hope the bus tactics aren't used again as it could be a good match between two big teams but with mourihno.....
Chelsea have done well since switching to a 3-4-3. May want to sign a genuine CB to play on the right instead of Azpilicueta, we shall see what Conte does in January. Costa is on fire, arguably the best striker in Europe atm, scoring at a rate of a goal every 3.43 shots. I expect him to score but I also expect Utd to create a number of goal-scoring chances having an extra man in midfield. I hope Utd don't score early and park the bus, am going with 2-1 Chelsea.
@SteveHyland Again being optimistic about Chelsea? :D But they have indeed done well lately also defensively, or at least haven't given any free goals to opposition. But teams they've played against haven't been that threatening, Leicester haven't been the same this season and were without Mahrez. Now they'll be tested better, although United have been far from convincing offensively. It's very possible they's settle for a draw, but maybe Mourinho will figure something out for Chelsea's back three (and especially front three). However, Azpilicueta as right center back is quite logical for me, it's quite usual to play full back there because they usually offer more pace to cover the ground behind wing back and are comfortable bringing the ball forward. So he might spend some time in that position.
@Castle- Ha, it goes against my better judgement I promise! It's true they haven't played a good team in form yet but we have to give credit until they do (and lose). They haven't conceded a goal in 2 games plus however long they played with 3 at the back against us which is astounding considering Cahill and Luiz are in there. 3 at the back is probably what Conte wanted to start with, it worked for Juve and Italy but he had Bonucci, Barzagli and Chiellini so why wouldn't it? Azpilicueta will have until January to play there, I think it'll be better for Chelsea if they sign a quick CB then move Cesar to RWB. Thiago Silva and Ben Gibson have been mentioned. If they sign both, have Gibson as the central figure then put the quick ex-PSG men either side of him, it could work. I don't think playing only 2 in CM, neither of them being particularly creative, will be good long-term so Conte may have to switch to 3-5-2 (or a 3-5-1-1 with Hazard floating).
@SteveHyland Well, you definitely new what you were talking about this time! Three at the back looks to suit Chelsea, they will surely be in contention for top 4 finish now on at least. Azpilicueta can indeed play more offensive role, but I still think he's best suited for current position. Moreover, if Chelsea switched to 3-5-2 kind of system, it would require powerful wing backs who can push forward and Alonso and Moses would do better in that respect. But I can still see Chelsea to sign at least one CB, it was surprise they had to settle for Luiz, maybe not playing in CL had something to do with that? I'm also starting to agree with you about Ibra, he's still a forward who can score 20+ goals in any league in right circumstances, but right now United are lacking unity and just look like Raiola's fantasy team. Zlatan also lacks mobility which limits team's options. How on earth did Mourinho manage to screw things up like that, usually he builds his teams so thoughtfully.
I hope United will try to win the game and not park the bus AGAIN. Nevertheless, whatever they do they won't be able to handle the current best striker in BPL, Diego Costa. Plus looking forward to watching another brilliant display from our wingbacks Alonso à Moses.
Man U have not beat Chelsea in last 6 games. I am pretty sure ex-Chelsea manager and bus driver will get a warm reception from the home fans on Sunday but he wont get a warm reception from Man U fans after he drops the bus again. Anyways I think 1-0 or 2-0 to Chelsea. A goal-less first half and a goal or two from Costa in second.
Conte is prouving his creative mind day after day. realy he build a strong tactic for each game. For exemple the man with the most interceptions and the most defensive actios is a crucial factor in chelsea recent games. 7.75 then 8.4 then 8.2 in this game.excelent performance .who is this man?
Kante MVP
Interesting that this happened without Rooney in the squad
@TacticalMastermind2.0 Yeah, if he was playing it would have been 6-0.
@What4 I wasn't saying what the score would have been and I don't care. I just think it's funny Rooney wasn't in the squad considering he gets stick for everything
@TacticalMastermind2.0- A lot of it is justified though. We shouldn't be producing unintelligent footballers with minimal technical ability or vision.

Not that I care. Had enough of Utd in the 90s/early 00s.
You could not expect more you have tired legs playing aginst well rested once and mr Van gaal left a good squad for mourinho to rotate well
Significant wakness "50". What does it mean?
Ouch. Mourinho better start taking the Europa cup seriously now since it looks like Utd's most likely (only?) way to reach the champions league next season.
It's official, everyone hates Mourinho now. But just for today Chelsea fans love him again ;)
@What4- I quite like him now he's cocking up Utd. I just hope he's the next Spurs manager.
@SteveHyland Hahahaha!
Pogba is not bad but too bad. And his coach is the same. Congratulation to Conte and Chelsea!
@ardentprofound overated + coach's problem!
@ardentprofound You guys should stop obsessing so much over one player, 11 players play like garbage and you point out one. Not exactly his fault so much money was paid
What do u expect when your defenders are small and blind? :-p
@Footballfanatic66- That was a Chuckle brothers level joke but I still found it funny.
@Footballfanatic66 good one!
I never expected that! Mourinho is about to wreck another team...
@ChelseaRgr8 Because his approach to the game is dated ! He doesn 't have any idea or concept about the game other than defense and someone up front should score somehow. But he doesn't teach them how, he expect the players to know. All he ever teach is character, character and character... The rest the team has to figure out themself.
Remember the United fans that were criticizing and trolling Pep for losing 4-0 to Barcelona? LMAO love how life works
Mourinho spent too much money, he should resign now.
well, I am too happy tonight because I am Arsenal's fans.
Haha Mourinho you clown! And Conte is back, in style.
ibrahimovic can play against likes of Aston Villa, v better teams he is 0
@koziol.mutant it"s very true, he did nothing he should have been rated below 6.0 by whoscored.
As a United Fan. I feel contented with the loss. We are not that bad as those goals say. The 1st goal on the 1st minute changed the Tempo. United opened up.

So we had to play football & got raped. Simple.
@njamimaranga No you are terrible. Your team concedes a quick goal in the 1st minute and already gives up? That is a terrible loser psychology.
the problem is Ibrahimovic too old already, he can't run faster, he can't make chance by himself. Other MU players must try as good as can to pass the ball arrive ibrahim's foot.

ok that's enough ! i'm calling 911
The deluded one
The special one! lol
this is why mourinho got sacked kappa
Forza Antonio! F*ck Mourinho!
Chelsea 2 - 0 Man Utd @ 21' .....Am I watching a real match or is this FIFA 17 Legendary?
Conte vs Morinho ..!! whoever will win, I hope it will not a boring game
Conte vs Morinho ..!! whoever will win, I hope it will not a boring game
mosses +willian+hazard expect a win for Chelsea

@njamimaranga de gea indeed blazing.. 4 times..
@njamimaranga Loooooooooooool
@njamimaranga Physicality is not everything. Man united don't have the right tempo and pace to their game. The movement of MU player in attacking zones is nowhere the level of Chelsea. The first goal shows that.
@njamimaranga It seems Chelsea scored by the time you wrote the comment :-P
This could be a similar game to the one against liverpool. I'm going for a 1-1 draw.
@sonic If it is similar to the Liverpool game, then United arent gonna score. 0-0 or a 1-0 win for Chelsea is my guess
Chelsea 1-0 United
Two penalties and red card most likely in this game. I fear Fellaini late tackle might affect the game. Carrick could have been better placed in mid. De gea as usual man of the match. Man u win here 1-0
MU to win this game! Whoscored well done...
Whoscored are you drunk? How is Man United going to score 2 goals against Chelsea when they gonna park the bus...
draw as evenly matched teams
Manchester United can't win this given that they played on Monday, versus Liverpool and on Thursday, versus Fenerbahçe . They'll be fatigued, I expect Chelsea to win by 3-1. Diego Costa to score at any time.
Chelsea win United Mourinho go home
surprised whoscored tips rashford over lingard. they seem to have a soft spot for Martial too as they tippped him to play against liverpool but no such luck. for utd continuing with lingard and martial on the flanks would make sense. they where the real difference makers in thursdays match
These sides may cancel each other out.
Don't support either team but I think a fairly boring 1-1. Costa is good but he's also up against a good defence whereas ibrahimavich is dropping off but could still bully David Luiz. Hope the bus tactics aren't used again as it could be a good match between two big teams but with mourihno.....
Mostly a Derby will have under 2.5 but both teams will capitalize on any mistake on the defense 1-1

2-0 Chelsea
@Overmars Damn, I was sure Costa would score. Only 2 goals off the correct score of 4-0.
I think this will be another 0-0!
Man U have not beat Chelsea in last 6 games. I am pretty sure ex-Chelsea manager and bus driver will get a warm reception from the home fans on Sunday but he wont get a warm reception from Man U fans after he drops the bus again. Anyways I think 1-0 or 2-0 to Chelsea. A goal-less first half and a goal or two from Costa in second.
