I was so sad and dissapointed after the game that i had to wait all this time to calm down to be able to write a post.Damn it we were all waiting for this match since the draw with so much enthusiasm that we couldn't sleep last night (at least that was the case for me) and what did we get in exchange?Our team let us down.Big time. The problem is not that we lost,is how we lost.This was the most important game of the year ,yet our players didn't show any desire for the win.No determination,no passion.Sure i can blame our luck,i can blame the referee,i can blame myself for the fact that i didn't wear the chelsea shirt i usually do when i am watching a game.I have done all that during the game but the truth is far more simple.We lost cause we proved we are not "big" enough to handle such an important game. Ancelotti lost the fight before the game even started.Why the fuck did we play 4-4-2 tonight is beyond me.Everyone and i mean everyone knew united was going to overflood the midfield and use the wings to counterattack.As much as i hate Ferguson i can admit that he is a clever manager.He analyzed the last game they played agaisnt us and he ADAPTED his tactics for tonight's game.That's what good tacticians do.What did Ancelotti do?He fell right into the trap,like a rookie.First he uses Bosingwa as a RB when it's not a secret he sucks in defending,then he uses Drogba and Torres up front with noone able to pass the ball to them.When will he fucking understand that those two can't play together ffs.We were outplayed by the worst united team of recent times.Every time we were trying to attack our players were being outnumbered.The mancs were all over the field while our players were isolated. Someone can say that i am being too harsh on Ancelotti and that anyone has the right to make a mistake.That's totally acceptable.So when he saw that his plan couldn't work what did he do?Did he make any changes during half time?No.We continued with the same ineffective plan.Then he decides that Anelka will take the place of Drogba,who was the only real threat to united.That's brilliant,it's like telling him that his performance doesn't matter,he needs to come off instead of Torres.NIce way to keep the balance inside the squad.Oh and where was Benayoun? I am not saying that Ancelotti was the only one to blame.Most of our players were shocking mainly Bosingwa,Lampard,Essien and Zhirkov.Our midfield couldn't string 2 fucking passes together under pressure,which was all the time.But players don't turn from world class into average in just one season.Something bad is happening inside the club.I don't know what that is but they better solve it during the summer or else next year will be as bad as this one.And 3 more expensive trasnfers is not the solution.Anyway i hope the lads prove me wrong next week.I wish they go to OT and win the game and make me look stupid for all the things i said.I believe they can do it IF they want to.
