Game over ?

1 down, down to 10 with still a good 75/80 minutes to play… going to be a long day for Chelsea. This is when you want a player like Kante

Awful subs from Maresca. I understand taking one attacker off for the keeper getting sent but doesn't feel like he's got anywhere to go with it now

[whoareyaaa]

Palmer off

Those special Old Trafford VAR lines to the rescue 

They don’t draw them straight that is for sure… not sure about palmer going off when you are losing  

[reporterpenguin]

Weird to bring Palmer off?

[foxfanazer]

That is bonkers. Palmer looks disgusted 

[JonnyZeroFox]

You bring off your potential  match winner  

[HybridFox]

FPL owners swear in unison 

[JonnyZeroFox]

I can only think Enzo knows Amorim’s tactic, which is to overload those forward positions… he possibly wants to contain that, and just try and pinch a goal. 

[The Year Of The Fox]

I’m just surprised Enzo is making subs tbh 

[reporterpenguin]

Enzo's making the mistake we have when playing them in recent seasons, showing to much respect and thinking he's playing a team from decades gone by.

[Fear Of The Fox]

Enzo is probably thinking: Let's keep it at 1-0, win a few corners and they might score a few own goals. This might be a Maresca masterclass in the end.

Maresca stupid in taking off his entire forward lineup...how are they meant to score?

[The Year Of The Fox]

United look good today, and looked good against 11 men too. The slick pitch is helping them I think

I’m not sure about it, if you want to get something you need to cause problems. Man U will be more than happy to have so much possession and probe the Chelsea back line for 90mins. You attack, try and force it there is a chance Man U make a mistake, maybe even get a red themselves

They played what 4 minutes with 11 vs 11… so hard to say whether theu would have continued to play that way 

[Fear Of The Fox]

How on earth this wasn't a pen? What's going on? 

[JonnyZeroFox]

Now you wish you didn’t remove your attacking players 

[Vacamion]

 

What's the Chelsea keeper doing there.

 

He's got an age while it's in the air in his 6 yard box  

[Zear0]

Keeper needs to just walk forward and punch that.

Man U can win the league if every team starts with just 10 against them. Amorim’s overload is working very well

I know, but I’ve not seen united start like that in a long time

Still 4 minutes  let’s see if they have turned a corner, it will take more than beating 10 men and starting well for 4 minutes to convince me 

[Fear Of The Fox]

He had all the time not to just punch but gather the ball. I went to the toilet while the ball was in the air and when I came back it was finally coming down.

I don’t think for one moment they’ve turned a corner. They’re rotten to the core. They just fancied it tonight
