Hazard, Oscar, Schurle all creative and quick yet being deployed deep to stop the opposition. Their best player, Mata, sat on the bench because he's too creative. Mikel on with 20 to go to try and protect a point.
All boring, all negative, all typical Mourinho.

I see what you are saying but they had to adopt that approach as Utd were getting on top early on. Also, Torres showed when he came on he was of no use to them anyway, they were better off with 4/5 midfielders buzzing around trying to create. I agree ref Mata he shouldn't be left on the bench but I can't see him being there at the end of the transfer window. JM got the tactics spot on, why go balls out and attack to give Utd a chance to break, get a point away from home and move on. Also, by picking the team he did they could gave quite easily picked Utd apart. A lot of teams will go here wanting 3 points and wanting to beat Utd, why risk the chance of slipping up and losing ground to a team you will fighting with to win the league? Not negative, clever!

They had to adapt during the game you muppet, as I've said, just because he played no striker wasn't necessarily negative given the players he picked. If it were another team, ie stoke or such like then it would be negative. The 5 of Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, De Bruyne and lLampard are than capable of breaking any team down. They didn't get chance last night, Utd bossed it early on and they had to adapt. Utd looked dangerous on the break so Chelsea couldn't throw men forward.

Who is it on here that absolutely detests 'Rambo'? Is it Robbo?

Cazorla is utter class too.
£16m. To think we could have had Joe Allen for that instead, or Hendo.....oh wait, he cost £20m
