    Yet to see Kante have a bad game in 2 years

    Herrera sent off for two innocuous fouls, one of them being Hazard just running into him.

    Very, very soft and it just ruins the game.

    Silly.

    Harsh on Herrera...but United have been kicking Chelsea players continuously

    It's a legitimate tactic when you're up against someone like Hazard. Just gotta be more careful about doing it.

    Man United , like many teams these days, simply set out to stop Hazzard by any means. Don't undestand how Jones was not booked moments earlier. Both yellow cards for player sent off were fully deserved. Really frustrating to see so many Hazzard runs ended by foul play.

    How can they sit in the studio having seen plenty of replays and still think it's a second yellow.
    So much bias.
    Breaking news, Shearer hates united, no shit Sherlock.

    It seems the referee had just spoken to the Man United captain about the persistent fouls on Hazzard. Then seconds later they commit another foul on him. Really pleased to see a ref punish a team who adopt this tactic. Fans want to see players like Hazzard play football not constantly picking himself off the floor after yet another foul.

    Ashley Young has clearly been to the Charlton school of turning an attacking free kick until a clearance by your own keeper!

    1-0 Chelsea. Think that's game over given Utd's 10 men.

    Is Kante the best player in the world right now ?

    I pretty much agree with everything there but it wasn't "another foul on Hazard". Hazard grazed past and fell over.

    An automatic pick for a world 11 in that position

    I was kind of half joking, but seriously, I'm not sure there's a more in form player in the world at the moment (other than Tony Watt obvs)?

    He wins possession back with so many tackles and yet rarely goes to ground or commits fouls in doing so.

    In his position probably yes.

    Interesting match in the German Cup Quarter-Finals... Sportfreunde Lotte v Borussia Dortmund coming up.


    Lotte have a Ground Capacity of 10,000 whilst their squad cost €4.5m to put together yet are almost like a Non-League Club out there?

    Man City goal disallowed because the assistant ref thought the ball had gone out for a goal kick when the ball had not crossed the line from the cross. Now there is an issue that video ref can sort out.

    City take the lead with Aguero scoring on counter attack.

    Monreal levels with a lovely finish.

    Cech seemed a bit slow off his line for the city goal to me.
    Heavy touch from Aguero, looked like Cech had a chance to close him down better than he did.

    What a save that was from Cech.

    Wellbeck too greedy should have laid it on for Sanchez.
