In all fairness, I guess 1:1 would have been fair but it doesn't matter - WE NEED TO SCORE IN OLD TRAFFORD either way. Hold your horses and RE-GROUP. Ok we had no luck, we botteled 2-3 good chances, Van Der Sar brilliant save, 100% penalty waved away - whatever. Winners just accept it, forget it and move on to WIN not jabber about some fucking history. We ain't liverpool so stop whining and self pitying, we did fine and all they did was score 1 defensive blunder, something we couldn't. Get over it and let's move on, OT awaits.

It was a penalty, be real(ramires' one) Torres dived, deserved yellow card

I think he just has to adapt because we have such a poor midfield. I'm sorry to say this but Essien and Lampard haven't been themselves, looked average. I really hope they come back strong. Ramires been alright, nothing special. Bosingwa has tried, created a few nice chances like for example a cross but he has to do a bit more than that when you're playing in Chelsea. Early days but this shows why we need to rebuild, always the midfield/forwards that can't click and break compact defenses, we have no flair. The word that would describe us the most at the moment is predictability, it has to change and quick. Come on Chelsea KTBFFH 3-1 incoming!!

Drogba has been good apart from some occasions where he doesn't engage in air battles and when he fell after Rio's very weak touch.

Bosingwa does his usual: Has all the pace and technique in the world but when he does get past he just balloons it or goes for a hit, no YOU ARE NOT DANI ALVES OR ROBBEN

Essien has been horrible, where as Zhirkov been really nice, brings flair and creativity. I think torres-Drogba does work if we had midfield and PROPER wingers

Be positive for fuck sake, theres 45+90 mins to go and some of you guys are whining like b*tches already, man the fuck up

Exactly, this is the perfect partnership to field when you're against Rio-Vidic. I'm sure they're all motivated as it's CL and a replay of Moscow's final

Ah alright, cheers

I thought those line-ups weren't official just yet, so who knows!

But he is a big game botteler, always chokes. He has been great otherwise but when we need him, he is transparent. Torres-Drogba and Zhirkov-Ramires would be idea line-up in my mind. Let's stay positive, just an hour left, COME ON CHELSEA

I'd be happy with the result as long as we don't let them score. Going to OT with 0-0 or 1-0 would be amazing especially if we manage to score there. I'm confident and I really hope we don't choke and cock things up. Come on Chels

Ramos, Alonso, Dudek and Casillas I think were all punished, shouldn't Busquets the Cheat and Valdes be as well?

I think he'll be here for 1 more season and then go to Marseille

Like I wrote it myself mate Spot on

Agree with you there, 100%. Ivanovic might not offer that much going forward but he is an absolute rock, so far, in defence. Alex-Terry have the experience and team work to handle United's Rooney and Berbatov. It gives us stability in the back four. Alex can also take rifle long free kicks. I also agree on the midfield part. Perhaps only questionable thing about the line-up are the strikers. Drogba-Torres on paper are one of the best if not the best pair but perhaps one of them + Kalou would be better. Like mentioned above, Anelka isn't a big game player and can be shut out fairly easily. Kalou creates chances but some decisions are poor, otherwise in my eyes our best dribbler. So I'd say either Torres-Drogba; Torres-Kalou or Drogba-Kalou

You mean a game changer?

I might be a bit biased because I'm a premface but their league does look a bit sloppy, then again I don't watch much Serie A. I did watch the Milan derby yesterday, was very nice. But this particular AS Roma - Juve game is really dull. so my opinion might be far fetched to some long time Serie A watcher. My apologies

AS Roma vs. Juventus on at the moment, god Serie A is dull. So many mis-passes and poor tempo, can't even compare to EPL

Edison Cavani and Marek Hamšik have been amazing

Justified, he does need to improve and start clicking but it's not only him, our midfield and "wingers" are shaky. Our only proper wide attacking players are A.Cole and Ramires http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11668_6850199,00.html

What you're saying is all very true but soon we are forced to scratch the likes of Anelka(32), Drogba(33) and Malouda(31 in June, losing form fast) off that list; +Lampard(33 in June), P.Ferreira(32). Reportedly Borini off aswell. That leaves us with Sturridge, Kalou, Torres. Unfortunately we do have to buy this summer to bring back our A-game.

So is Drogba

As long as we don't let them get a goal we have the upper hand. If we get our game going, full of confidence and will we will dominate anyone. SAF is a stereotype of a typical ManU fan - blind, deaf and paranoid. I'll love the day when he retires and ManU doesn't have that mental edge anymore.

I was quite sad to see him go. Letting Deco and Belletti go didn't bother me at all but Ballack had this desire and it was contagious and you could see that from the way the team played although being labeled oldies and team of the past. But that's reality, none of us can outrun from time. We can adapt but not run. In my mind I put Terry Lampard Drogba and Ballack on the same level. Great sportsman and personality. Even the Barca semi final incident where he went berserk showed that he cared, doubt Malouda would do that. As far as Scolari goes, he is making himself look even more of a flop.
