Wondering if Mourinho will go there looking for the replay and take them back to OT at a later and better equipped date. But another fixture is not exactly what we need in our already congested schedule.

the rashford rumour is gathering momentum,a few different sources claim he has a chance of starting.He is at stamford bridge
 
It said Rashford was only out through illness. The fact he travelled says he's fit. Mourinho cant moan at Shaw for moaning and not playing through injuries if he's not gonna play Rashford when we need him and he'f fit enough to travel.
 
im sure its been covered here but i read an article stating that shaws people suspect jose is holding a grudge over shaw due to him rejecting chelsea(when jose was there)for united.I dont believe what i read but who knows

That doesnt make asy sense. If Jose rated him highly enough for Chelsea then why would he not play him now he actually has him in his team? There will be something Jose doesnt like about him after working with him. At Chelsea all he had to go off was his performances for Southampton and obviously didnt work with him every day to see his attitude. If Jose was that petty he wouldnt be playing Mata after selling him from Chelsea.
 
Entertaining half, but the game spoilt with the sending off. Silly from Herrera. We were fantastic tactically

completely agree.I do feel the red card was harsh though.De Gea terrific once again
 
on the verge of defeat but weve defended brilliantly.rojo been magnificent
 
Unlucky United. Great effort. Massive chance from Rashford (who was really good tonight), he did terrifically to carve out it out for himself but top save from Courtois. Sending off completely spoilt what had the look of being a real classic battle of tactical masters. Pretty happy that we restricted them to mainly long range shots (which proved the difference in the end). Rojo completely made Costa his *****. Our midfield was overpowering theirs prior to the sending off. But that's football. Keep that effort and intensity going throughout the remainder of the season and make it a cracking finish.
 
It's just one of them seasons where literally everything is going for Chelsea, so I expected to go out tonight but we certainly done ourselves proud with only losing by 1 with 10 men. Disappointed to go out but I want CL more than FA Cup, so we'll see at end of season.
 
1. First yellow card was very soft but thereafter Ander was very stupid.
2. Pogba disappeared at their goal and in the 2nd division.
3. Mourinho pretty much gave up in the 2nd half. He waited till the 80th minute to make a like for like substitution. You are losing in the cup ffs be a bit adventurous! Should ve taken off one of the cbs last 15 minutes put another attacking player. Till the last 5 minutes with 5 at the back there was no outlet for counterattacks.
4. Said it before ill say it again. Young should not be at UTD let alone start important matches. He was so ineffective.
5. Tactics were spot on to start with. With 11 players they wouldnt ve scored if we d played till tomorrow.

****** off!

On the game in general i think Utd played well, first 20 odd minutes they were on the attack yet did struggle to create any chances they were in control. However Chelsea had a 5-10 minute spell in which i think we created far more forcing De Gea into 2 exceptional saves. Now to the red card, it was obvious Utd's game plan was to take turns in clattering Hazard he must have suffered 10 fouls before Herrera's red! The second yellow is soft but it came at an absolute stupid time, brain dead from Herrera in my opinion there was no way he was going to catch Hazard. Yes after the red card we absolutely dominated the game i swear there was a 15 minute spell when Utd didn't even get the ball in our half however defensively i felt Utd were very impressive. 100% the best team won on the night but Utd made it tough.
 
^ It's all hypothetical now, we'll never know. United were bang in the game before the red card and in my opinion, edged it. I think it would've been a cracking second half, but it is what it is. Good luck in the competition. Onto Thursday for us.
 
Didn't see the game. But from what I've read on hear and on a few other Chelsea and Utd forums it was pretty close. And would have been a great game except from the red. Sounds like Mourinho got it spot on tactically. It's a Shame but it doesn't sound like we were destroyed or played off the park in the defeat. And from what I have read if we play like that it will be a good end to the season. Don't know why I've read so many people slagging off Mourinho for taking off Mky. FFS he's just come back from a hamstring injury, why risk him running round like a mad man and risk him a reacurence. Some people will always find things to moan about. I also read Pogba getting some abuse for the goal but not Rashford for missing a very good one on one. Suppose Zlatans not playing so someone else is gonna get bashed.
