Chelsea holds Man United to draw
Mourinho’s dismissal from Chelsea ended his second spell in charge at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea insisted channels of communication would remain open and Terry could yet be offered a 19th season at the club, with the incoming manager likely to be given a say.
Hard to win the league because you are competing against another team that also win and win and win like you do, so in the end I was champion in Spain with 100 points and I lost a league in Spain with 91 points.
United head in to the game in decent form themselves with the pressure easing on Louis van Gaal following consecutive victories over Derby and Stoke which have seen the Red Devils score six goals.
“I can not believe John Terry won’t be there next year”, said the Sky Sports pundit.
Terry was denied a penalty in the first half after Daley Blind appeared to block his goal-bound shot with his arm, and he felt the spot-kick should have been awarded.
“The rock around which so much of the Blues” success in recent times has been built, the club captain is adored by his own fans, but nearly universally disliked, mocked and jeered outside the confines of SW6. The worldwide team-mates combined for Costa’s goal on Sunday, just as they had for the striker’s goal against Everton in the previous home game. The build-up involved interplay between Juan Mata and Anthony Martial.
“We’re in and around that mid-table and teams are dropping points in and around us and we need to start winning, but of late we’re drawing too many games”, he continued.
“This is a big match”, Hiddink said.
Guus Hiddink named the same starting XI for three successive Premier League games, with Eden Hazard again kept in reserve.
“It may well be hyper extension, I had that problem before and it is very painful and bad”.
“They seem to be playing with a bit more freedom but I’m not convinced Van Gaal sees this out, I think there are more twists and turns to come”.
Although he’s made it quite clear that he will not join another Premier League side, Redknapp believes Arsenal should make a move- stating that if Petr Cech moved to North London, then why wouldn’t John Terry?
“Manchester (United) has to compete and likes to compete for the title, this year”.
