Man Utd is becoming a massive game. Put in another home stinker and you wonder if it's all going to fall apart. Win and we're back on track.

Yep.  Massive.

Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.

Honestly you're a cretin

Whether he is or not the manager has been found out tonight well and truly by world class coach Poch.

Credit to Chelsea but I think Poch has very little to do with whether they perform or not.

They’re delivering what they’re coached.  I’m calling it now he has no answer to when teams super press against us and we cannot counter attack with ease.

It's the players failing to deliver
There was no plan B. We just carried on as we were.

Not one player has been better than a 2/10 tonight. I do think we have been found out tactically, but players being unable to do the most basic things competently I don't think can be put on Emery alone tonight

It's not him doing the passing to Chelsea  ffs

using that logic he shouldn't get credit when we paly well because its not him passing etc

I am really not a fan of doing something that clearly is not working and responding to that by continuing to do exactly the same.

Saving players for Sunday has to be the most comical comment of the night.

If you really have to Judge him do so when we have a full first team defence to select from.
