The var rules were harsh, but thats football.

Ha! i remember not so long ago, When Chelsea played against Arsenal and Jorginho was supposed to have got a red card but even after the VAR review he stayed on and even went on to score  a goal that would change the tide of the game in Chelsea's favour.

I guess what goes around comes around 

[snipie]

It was an interesting match with united scaling through with 2 goals.

Kante injury was an initial blow to chelsea, but batshuayi missed chances was a bigger blow.
Now the top 4 race is blown open, and with chelsea having spurs and bayern consecutively in the coming weeks, it is not looking.

The var rules were harsh, but thats football. I see chelsea losing 4th position to Spurs come saturday, with spurs winning chelsea with 2 goals to 1

Was waiting for a draw (VAR or not, whatever) which didn't happens.
Anyway next games, Man City has to face Westham Wednesday then Leicester in Saturday for the battle of the second spot.
Chelsea VS Spurs for the 4th rank.
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle and Arsenal vs Everton are just close in the rank. Man United can jump +1 or +2 ranks. Interesting

Yes you are very right, i think we can just term it inconsistency surrounding english premier league referees, And to imagine Son also got a red card lol.
Chelsea were ousted, and with the injuries, the coming weeks could be worse.

Interesting matches,  City should go clear of westham and both Leicester and retain second spot. Chelsea spurs for me is a 2-1 spurs win
Arsenal will have another dour draw, if not a loss against everton and  i will like to see what type of Manchester united we are going to witness against Watford.

Very disappointing outcome of the match, Chelsea didn't play that badly to lose 2-0 to united. When I saw the lineup, I was furious but after taking sometime to think, I just hope Lampard's gamble paids off. He rested our top scorer for the champions league game coming soon and started players like Batshuayi which cost use this match with the numerous chances he missed.

Giroud had an impact that was worth mentioning, his linkup passes where superb and that brilliant header that got rules out by VAR for offside, just wished he started instead of Batshuayi. Pedro was confused although the match as his presence wasn't not felt.

Mount has been criticized all season but that free kick was something else, more from him in that manner and he might just win back the Chelsea supporters heart. Nevertheless the boys tried their best and it's disappointing to know that Ole was able to beat us in all competition this season.

Ps: Ighalo physicality shouldn't be underestimated, he got alot of goals in him. Congratulations on his debut (which he almost scored).

@CryptopreneurBrainboss I had a gut feeling which told me that I should wager a bet on Manchester United to win the match, but since they have not produced consistent results this season I avoided placing a bet and now I regret it lol.

The match would have been turned in Chelsea’s favour had Maguire been given the red card when the score was goalless, now whether it was a red card or not I guess it’s difficult to say as each one will have different opinions regarding it.

I believe Chelsea didn’t play that bad, but they were screwed by VAR who disallowed two of their goals and that really impacted their rhythm.

As a Manchester United fan I’m happy with those three points as it moves us one step closer to play in the champions league, and Chelsea fans should be worried as their top 4 spot is no longer secured.

A risky decision results in disappointment.
Why should lampard rest his top scorer even though the UCL match they have to play is still next week and this Saturday they still have to play with Tottenham which certainly won't be easy to get points, meaning there is a possibility not get the maximum in 2 EPL matches just to concentrate at UCL.

That was really awkward from Lampard when he rested Abraham. I had him in my Majestic 7 and now my hopes are gone for this round of M7. Batshuayi was good in spotting players along with him to pass and make the play but he really missed the opportunities that was made to him. Abraham should have played far more better if he would have played.

I played Manchester United draw no bet yesterday night and didn’t play a good amount of money as I thought chances are low for this to happen.I was gladly surprised when I checked the result at Flashscore and saw the result of 0-2.I think Chelsea lately has problems with their game play.

Because he has trust in his other members of the squad I guess. I mean, to be fair, even Giroud actually scored, so it wasn't like they couldn't score, just too bad for VAR that BOTH goals got cancelled out. I think Lampard just wants to risk getting a good result in CL but you're right, this was a huge blow for them to gain qualification for next season.

The struggle began to reach a very different dimension. I think it's true that he will be the champion for Liverpool now. But United, which is having a bad season, is on the rise again. There are only 3 points left behind the Chelsea. It seems like a fierce struggle for the Champions League has begun. If City's appeal won't agree by the UEFA then 5th team will join Champions League next year.

Well if you ask for my opinion, I'll say based on how we have three important matches back to back, just maybe Lampard isn't taking any chances to avoid an injury to Abraham or maybe him getting exhausted. If he was to play all three matches, then the chances of him performing is reduced most especially as he's still a developing striker.

Probably Giroud will start next match then maybe he'll be substituted for Abraham if the need for a new striker is needed. The champions league is very important to Lampard from his reaction, there's nothing he can do in the premier league to outperform Sarri so i guess that's why he's more focus on advancing in CL.

Congratulation on whatever you won.
Both Utd and Chelsea are not the teams to trust so I kept myself away from gambling yesterday. But I was giving advantages to Chelsea because of them being the home team. They did not play bad but were extremely unlucky and perhaps the victim of bad refereeing.

Not reacting to Maguire foul and we all know he eventually had the winning goal for Utd and giving a controversial VAR decision to disallowed Chelsea's first goal.

In fact, I was really unlucky because Chelsea lost and my bet was lost for some reason. In my opinion, the Chelsea match was less attractive because it was more dominant in Man United's attack.
I don't know whether Chelsea will be more focused at UCL because in a few days they will compete there maybe they will focus more on a more prestigious one.

This game was very crucial for Chelsea and yet they lost it.
Now they lost tough with the top 3 positions but also they are getting followed hard by order teams above them.
If Lampard doesn't manage to proceed the team to the next Champions league knockout, he is going to leave the club.

Chances were not too low actually,,, Chelsea can even lose to teams like Burnley so it should be no surprise to see them lose like this. The problem with all the big teams is they do not know how to win consistently so when it comes to big 6 meeting, take the one expected to lose, very good odds in there.

I didn't see the match in full, but saw the final results through statistics. That Chelsea actually controlled the match, but they didn't make any chances. Only once did "shots on target" and different from that done by Manchester United, they took advantage of the opportunity by scoring 2 goals.

Chelsea have not won any 3 matches. Only 2 points from the draw.

Actually they had very good amount of chances but they wasted all of it. Check highlights and you will know why most of us think that Chelsea should have made it. They had two goals but both were ruled out by VAR.

Man Utd. made it in the end but judging by the play, Chelsea didn't deserved that scoreline not the nil at least. Bad luck continue for Chelsea.

Chelsea only had 1 shot on target from 6 attempts while the other 5 were off target. Although the percentage of is ball possesion is superior to Manchester United, they must lose to Man-United 0-2. What is wrong with Chelsea? IMO is not a mistake. But Man-United can maximize their chances in front of goal and score goals  and supporters at the Onld Trafford stadium really helped the team get the most out of 3 points. When a big team is brought together in a match, I dont think if one of them loses then that team is a bad team. But in football there must be a team that loses or the match ends in a draw.

Yeah it's true that Chelsea can't maximize the chances of that kick so it's not accurate on goal while Manchester United is more focused on their main goal to be more targeted on goal and the end becomes a goal.
Now the percentage of possession cannot guarantee that they still win only the ball and cannot score a goal or win for their team.
