Dimitri

I am concerned about Fabregas. Slow tempo, not very involved last time he played except ofc his brilliant pass to Costa. I think it's a tricky match, Matic will have to play for 2, defence wise.

Any player can do what Mikel did for us in the game against Soton. I see the Remy idea gaining ground but guys Willian is indespensable and a vital cog of the team. Its gonna be more or less the same team with Willian in the starting 11, sadly with Mikel and Iva-Azpi. Mou is gonna work in creating chances rather than being wasteful in most of our attempts. How many shots did we take in the last game?

Is the weather gonna be Ok?

Finally, I feel so much better now.... Good luck in Atletico

Merry Christmas to all! <3

I used to like him before last year which was infuriating to say the least. Hopefully he will play on top level again for us!

I am not as confident mainly because of those periods of passivity in our game that most of the times lead in us conceiving one. Last year was our trademark and they seem to be coming back lately. Charlie Adam's shot still haunts me. Difficult win, I reckon.

For me it was by far and probably of all times, when Frankie scored against us and his reaction righ after! Just priceless!

Lets conceive one now, rather than on 93'

Schurle incoming soon, Willian out of breath

1) I was referring to Luis (LFG)

For the past season and a half no one has managed to shine in this United Team and no one probably will if the injured players don't return and Luis come up with a more solid plan tactically. So far he has been struggling with injuries and no starting line-up has been the same for 2 consecutive games. Despite that, the 6 wins in a row is an achievement to my eyes and kudos to him. I am not defending Di Maria's recent form but to my eyes any player who has been instrumental in winning the Ch.L, like he did the past season, is a top player and a superb athlete. See Drogba, Robben etc.

Di maria is still struggling to get back on form. I was surprised that Man U was the favorite to win this game. Anyone who had seen the match against Liverpool knew that their 3-0 win was coincidental and mainly due to inability on behalf of Sterling/Ballo to score. It is amazing to me how Louis van Gaal changes players/tactics during the game. I remember during the last game Rooney asked for tactics clarifications like 3 times. Amazing comeback from QPR, Charles Austin is turning eyes big time! Silva returned just in time for City and he has been instrumental. I really love their attacking play. Also Nasri's game seems mature in the last couple of games and his contribution is also great.

Man U: Rooney Wayne Swansea: Sigurdsson Gylfi City: Toure Yaya Newcastle: Aarons Rolando Southampton: Schneiderlin Morgan QPR: Austin Charlie Stoke: Adam Charlie WBA: Berahino Saido Everton: Barkley Ross Tottenham: Eriksen Christian Arsenal: Alexis Sanchez Crystal Palace: Jedinak Mile

Some harsh comments in here remind me the criticism Toure receives from the City fans even if he is the A and the Omega of their team (some still find it hard to realize it). Don't be so quick to dismiss a player of his contribution and devotion. There aren't many like him. I hate to see another Legend of the club leave from the back door due to our indifference to the matter and because we cant grasp the simple concept of "lack of form".

I am not at all scared of this game. We will be fully rested (for once) and I think Costa will score. I particularly enjoy Monday night matches after work etc and it will be a winner. Go Blues!

It is unfortunate for Shurle to have stumbled upon Willian who is instrumental for the team this year. That doesnt mean that he should apply more pressure on himself to perform since he will defo get plenty of opportunities; if the attitude is right that is. I hate it when I dont see my team getting along because I know at more competitive games (ch.l ) it can cost us.

I don't have the time to go through all comments but I seriously doubt that Jose and our team for that matter can be outclassed by some Blanc or any replacement coach in the midst of the season. Fear not Ibrahimovic nor Luiz because a champion player in spirit does not join a french league team. Easy win!

Hey all I am a huge Chelsea fan so it was a matter of time until I joined a nice blue forum for endless debate, praise and criticism! Looking forward to join discussions and getting to know everyone. I am a big Ivanovic fan and one player I dont wish to see again within the squad is Torres. Kind of "soft spot" for him... We love you Chelsea!
