Please God, can you keep Smalling fit for a few months.

TheDoc · 26-10-2014 06:03PM

For the first time in a long time it felt like watching United of old. And that finish didn't go half way to making me feel like Fergie was on the sideline.

Thought we did well today. Was chuffed for Fellaini who I thought was excellent and was really neat in possession and seemed to find so much space.

Not so much an important point as an important performance to boost confidence ahead of City.

I'm so glad I stood by Fellaini all along. Gonna pm all the haterz rubbing it in their face.

FutureGuy · 26-10-2014 06:03PM

Fellaini man of the match for me. Immense. Showed so well for the ball, held things up and made the right pass, great assist, and added so much uncertainty when getting forward.

Absolute legend. Can someone make me a Fellaini sig???

I'll be honest, the point was secondary to that performance. Absolutely immense from the lads.

Onwards!!!

Lord TSC · 26-10-2014 06:03PM

Stats are very flattering too. Beat Chelsea in pretty much everything...

Chagan · 26-10-2014 06:04PM

Got to give credit to Rafael too. For someone who is apparently too rash and unreliable to play for the club, he played 80 minutes against Hazard carrying a yellow.

irishfeen · 26-10-2014 06:04PM

Get the fcuk in - absolutely great performance, I was going to come in here after a 1-0 loss too to say it too. Fellaini was brilliant today.

sky88 · 26-10-2014 06:05PM

happy with the defence today thought all of them did very well

KH25 · 26-10-2014 06:06PM

Smalling was also very good today. Let's hope he stays fit.

J. Marston · 26-10-2014 06:07PM

I was stunned silent for about 3 seconds after the ball went in, couldn't believe it, then I jumped around the living room shouting random player names and swear words for about a minute.

Man, that was great.

Manutd_4life · 26-10-2014 06:07PM

Fellaini is showing he's well worth the money. Absolutely beasting the midfield play. And set pieces against a team like chelsea with defenders like ivanovic won't be easy and we saw once ivanovic came off fellaini nearly scored so imagine what he could do against weaker defences on set pieces. It's only been 2 games but I think he deserves a starting place more than herrera atm.

MagicIRL · 26-10-2014 06:08PM

Thought Mata played well in the first half but faded in the second. ADM had a poor game. Januzaj made some great runs today. Blind played that DM role like a pro. And Big Dave 1 on 1 with Hazard... immense.

I started jumping on top of my Chelsea supporting brother when it went in

.. funnily enough he didn't like it...

WTF do people expect from RVP? He was excellent today.

That got glossed over cause the goal came seconds later, but that was a crazy save. Just stunning.

What are you lol'ing about?

We'll have Welsh town name banners around the stadium soon.

Moyes was sacked and managed a draw at home with Chelsea without Di Maria.

Either Van Gaal is crap or the players are.

The Moldy Gowl · 26-10-2014 06:12PM

De gea has to be the best goalie in the leauge? Surely.

Ugh, man. Have a **** and come back to us.
We just got an immense point, the biggest result, alongside the best performance in the last 18 months.

Go watch some torture porn for yourself.

That performance today was better than anything under moyes. The players had belief for the whole game and never gave up.

He has more in his locker than his performance today. He played well but is still a bit away from top form. Today was not excellent from a player of his calibre's perspective.

Thought Shaw snd Januzaj were very good today. Rafael showed maturity. ADM looks tired. Fellaini will be a manager's kind of player. Lots of dirty work done and a bit of quality every so often.

Jimmy Iovine · 26-10-2014 06:16PM

Unreal. My voice is wrecked from that finish.

Delighted as well for all the people beside me who left early. Pretty much the whole row left before it.

Never leave early when United are playing.

Courtois is on another level to him as much as I'm a DDG mark.

madcabbage · 26-10-2014 06:18PM

Best performance this season, deserved the point. Delighted to see Fellani have a good game as well. Anyone that's dissing this performance should get their heads checked!

Copper_pipe · 26-10-2014 06:18PM

I don't think so. De gea has made way better saves. A lot of abu's just putting him down fr the sake I think.

My Canadian house mates conversation being broken up by me screaming and then shouting F*** you Mourinho at my laptop repeatedly was a nice breakfast moment

DM_7 · 26-10-2014 06:20PM

Good performance but still a long way to go.

It was nice to go into a game against Chelsea confident and then see it fulfilled as United were competitive throughout and on level with them. Especially in midfield ( on a day where Herrera was on the bench). That a major positive this early in Van Gaals reign.

Defence needs to settle down more as when Chelsea ran at them they were in trouble. Hopefully that will come if defenders stay fit.

It would be good to see Di Maria play a bit less restrained and moving around to find space in this type of game, but then again the way both teams played that was a big ask.

With Rooney, Falcao and Herrera to come back there is a lot to be happy with.

K4t · 26-10-2014 06:20PM

Happy with the result but this game doesn't tell us half as much about the team or where we are at as many here seem to think it does.

A lot of the football played was no different to that of last season, and the player(s) who were supposed to be integral to a better style of play (Mata and ADM) were largely anonymous.
