Ineffective possession is overrated yeah. Effective possession football is great and can be devestating.

Agree with this. David Luiz hasn't looked good but neither has Cahill. Same with Cole. But it's always all on David.

Come on Chelsea. 1 goal before half time.

We can still do this, get a draw at least. It's hard but possible.

He's hardly ever in the box, it's the weirdest thing.

Their width is killing us..

They'll still double up on the wings though, with Evra and Rafael joining attacks as well. So it's both teams with a obvious weakness. We'll simply have to be more clinical.

That's true. We can really hurt them through the centre. Hope Rooney stays high up the pitch. I think he would've gone with Ramires on the wing if Lamps wasn't out. We'll have to target their centre.

Ferdinand (but he lacks pace) and Rafael have been good this season. Evra is very vulnerable, Evans I don't know. But they better protection in wide positions as Valencia and Young always get back to defend. We can definitely do this but we'll have to take our chances.

Looks like Utd will be targeting the wide areas. That's not good.

Marin, Moses and Sturridge on the bench, that's good. Hopefully Di Matteo won't wait until the 80th min to make changes.

Don't like matches against Utd, they're annoying to play against and the games tend to be boring. But with both defences vulnerable and both strong in offence, this could be a good game. We can't lose two matches in a row and I don't think we will. Would love to see a 3-2.

I agree, he has done well. He makes a odd fullback but he does a good job overall. I just wish he would finally start to block his direct opponent from putting crosses into our box (at least try). It's incredibly frustrating and causes us quite a few problems.

I love the fact that he doesn't do these kind of things because it's flashy or to embarrass his opponent but he does it to create space. He has a lot of these brilliant moments. Effective artistry, like the great Zola used to do.

I know, I was just saying.

Arteta's a great player imo but what an awful article. It basically says Arteta is the best holding midfielder in the world right now because he averages the most tackles and interceptions in the Premier League and completes the most passes.

Never mind.

So you're dead right now?

What does Torres have to do with Sturridge being poor in the air? When did I say Torres should start? Can't believe people can actually go on and on about Torres. As for Danny's height, just use your eyes. He's not a tall guy.

Torres is obviously taller than Sturridge. Torres is around 6 ft 1, Sturridge 6 ft at best. Besides, Sturridge has no aerial presence due to his poor leap.

I love Falcao, think he's a brilliant goal-scorer. But if we were to go for yet another big money striker, I'd prefer Cavani. He's not as good a finisher as Falcao but he adds more to the team.

I loooooooove Villa. As a short term fix he would be great yeah. Unless we'd have to pay some ridiculous fee, anything above 15-17 mil would be too much if you ask me. That said, I think he'd do a great job here. Think he'd like to join as well. Won't allow myself to get excited though. You should've used a Valencia pic btw, back when he was actually played in his natural position and struck fear into every defence he faced:

Think the forum would've exploded if Obi or David Luiz lost that ball.

Sometimes all you can do is repeat:
