Well half way there!

I cant see Chelsea being as poor second half. Utd havent been great but just pressing and hassling. Utd will need another goal I think to win this.

Decent performance from Stokechester Utd so far but I am worried about the amount of the ball Chelsea were seeing in those last 15 mins. You feel it will click for them at some point if that carries on.

Chelsea will definitely score. United needs to get another to have a chance. Think a Chelsea goal might deflate them

Hold on United. I hope Jose plays half arsed against us to get one over on Chelsea but I'm sure it would stroke his ego when he has an influence on the title race, Liverpool a few years back springs to mind

It seems Pogba has been instructed to go full "drinkwater" when he receives the ball in midfield. Not a bad strategy with their pace up top. And he is smart enough to avoid Zouma's side and batter Cahill and Luiz.

They've done what you have to do against Chelsea. Find a system where you have both the wingbacks and inside forwards covered and that doesn't allow them to work in tandem and create space for each other. Mourinho has gone for man marking and it's just completely negated them so far. It also helps Alonso being out, Azpilicueta might be able to do many things, he's not a wing back though.

Pogba is unbelievably overhyped. I genuinely think Alli is worth more than him.

Got to think Chelsea will come back into it. One Kante intercept and Pedro / Hazard will equalise. Get a second United!
