In isolation I don't think that was a yellow card offense but Utd have been rally pushing their luck, and they just pushed it a little too far.

This Utd team is as nasty and cynical as their manager.

agreed

I'm sure Conte has a plan. Just keep the intensity.

It wasn't really a yellow on herrera, but how much can the ref take. 

The Big Mouth is the first manager in England t fight with Conte at Stamford Bridge...complete lack of respect for Chelsea

Context is relevant as well, he's done it literally 10 seconds after the Jones foul. The cameras hadn't even panned back to the game when he clipped him, there was contact and he should have booked Jones and knew it so booked Herrera. He's a wee know anyway so I don't care 

I think fabregas has to come on straight away.  Don't wait too late can't let this one get to pens. 

One of the most interesting 0-0 half's i have seen for a while that.

Surely we all knew it would be like this. Mourinho teams always are and it's the best way to play against Chelsea.

Please don't turn on Jose guys. You live to regret it. He plays games to entertain himself. Nothing personal.

Keep being classy Jose

I think you are right there.

"A yellow card for stupidity"

Well said Gary.

Don't hate Jose for the gameplan but I am glad Oliver was brave enough to put a stop to it. I honestly think if it had kept going on Hazard could have been seriously injured. 

Long way to go in this one. We need to keep it tight because if they score they will park the bus depot. Bringing Fab on could cost us a goal. He's not so good defensively. This match is still up in the air. We need to nick a goal and get them to open up.

Hush up, Phil Neville. Herrera and the rest of United's players were fouling throughout that whole half. The second yellow was inevitable with the way they are playing. It's Mourinho's fault for setting them up that way.

3hats he done wrong there then? You need a day off 

Honestly I have concerns for some of our players both in terms of revenge reds (Costa and matic) and fouls leading to injury (hazard). With that in mind cesc, batman and Pedro coming on May not be the worst idea.

As Frank just said "yellow card for stupidity" straight after ref told Smalling too many fouls on Hazard

I won't turn on him and give him abuse but when he behaves and talks the way that he does. He's got to expect this sort of reception. He goes out of his way to antagonise fans and says negative things about our club.

 

I love him for what he done for us, but I love Chelsea more.

Matic and Willian off, pedro and Fab on immediately. Don't want to wait and till it's too late and then go to penalties. We need to smash them now. Can't have him leaving tonite with a win.

It's ironic how mourinho used to push for more protection for hazard, and it today he has been kicked all over and thankfully the referee has stepped in.

Unlucky not to be ahead even before the red card. Not sure what the bbc commentary team are watching, United have offered nothing going forward, they have been tight and aggressive, but I'm sure they will tire as the game progresses and we will get more chances.

Just need to take them now.

Yep, refs won't get praise from me often because they are too lenient to teams against us. But he's having none of it so far today.

Moses and Willian off, Fab & Pedro on
