Kepa - 5 - Made a few good saves, but his weak wrists cost us at the end.

Azpilicueta - 4 - Doesn't have the legs for wing back

Chalobah - 8 - Best player for us today, didn't put a foot wrong.

Silva - 7 - Solid again.

Cucurella - 4 - Poor at CB again.

Chilwell - 5 - Not getting forward enough for me. Potter has changed something with our wing backs and I don't like it.

Jorginho - 4 - Nice penalty, but another poor performance.

Loftus-Cheek - 3 - Really bad. Slow and easy to play against.

Mount - 5 - Our best attacker, but that really isn't saying much.

Sterling - 3 - Terrible. Like watching him play for England. If you're not going to use him how he City used him, then he's a waste of money.

Aubameyang - 3 - Also terrible. Hasn't had one top game in a Chelsea shirt yet.

Subs:

Kovacic - 6 - Instantly made our midfield better when he came on, couldn't really do much on the ball though.

Pulisic - 5 - Never really got into the game.

Chukwuemeka - 6 - An easy upgrade on Loftus-Cheek

Broka - 6 - Won the penalty.

Fait as usual Scott, though think you are very harsh on Kepa there. Was a really good header that he reacted well to and got a fingertip on. A CM lower and it hits the post and comes out for us to clear it. Unlucky got him, poor on us defending the set peice.

I nearly followed him down the tunnel.

Why? 

United absolutely dominated the first 35 mins when they had the extra man in midfield and we should have been at least 2 down. Kepa made some great saves and kept us in it.

we looked better once Potter changed it and credit to him for changing it early. Plenty of our previous managers wouldn’t have done that because ego.

would have taken the draw at half time and was a fair result in the end I thought however deflating it felt being the last minute. 
 

don’t really understand the criticism of RLC. Thought he was the only central player almost holding his own in the first 35 and made some good interceptions and progressed us up the pitch.

Might well be the most bizarre thing I've ever seen at a football match LOL. 

What happened to his shorts ? Did he throw them at someone in the crowd along with his shirt ?

Also worth noting that we started this week 8 points behind top 4 rivals Arsenal with a game in hand. Now of this writing we are 6 points behind them having played a game more.

They play useless Southampton on Sunday so likely 9 points behind on level games. And that sucks.

Also just to express how we are all feeling in failing to beat United yet again...

Read somewhere that he gave his whole kit to a disabled kid, but didn't see it myself.

I think he gave them to one of the disabled fans. I would have accepted the rest.

Finally you say something sensible!

It’s a real shame as after the Milan away game, it felt like things were really building and the momentum was with us. The injury to James has really knocked us. It’s frustrating that we’re so reliant on one player. 

every time we go into extra time with a 1-0 lead

Also a breach of the laws of the game.

We couldn't bring on more subs, regardless of whether they were on the bench or not.

let me count - kova, Chuck, puli, borja and?

Let's try for 2.

 

Munkworth is a hell  of a guy. Sensible, strong, reliable. A real top bloke.

Even though 5 subs are allowed, a manager still can only "pause" the game in 3 instances during the match. So 1st for Kova, 2nd for Pulisic, 3rd for Bro & Chuck. Couldn't sub anyone else unless it was due to a concussion.

You can bring on 5 subs but only make changes three times.

That’s an obvious lie. Back down in my estimations you go.

Yeah I do not know how @Gol15can blame that on trev, Silva was closer to it and chilwell did not react as quickly as he should.

Save the Chalobah criticism for @timetowasteeh gol he is better at it;)

Won't catch me bashing big Trev mate 😉 

Okay. To cut Potter some slack, it turns out Kovacic is playing with a knee injury. Hence why he didn’t start today. With Kante also out, it just makes the decision not to strengthen the midfield over the summer even more ridiculous. And makes you wonder just how bad Zakaria is that he doesn’t even get anywhere near starting a game.

Munk was treated shamefully and robbed of points vs Brentford?

I’d have taken the result at the start of the game. And I’ll still accept it. Lots of room for improvement but the good news is our fullbacks stood up well. Mount played great even thou Trev was obvious mon of the match. 
 

Broja and noe carney getting more minutes and are being eased into the team in what I think is the usual potter fashion.

Bad enough for us not to want to keep him for the season so we don't use him so as he can leave and go somewhere else in January.
