I always think Sturridge is reckless but the first penalty was a very soft penalty. Evra clearly put his feet in front of Sturridge to draw a foul.

I don't think we can blame AVB, I mean any team will be very down when you concede two easy penalties.

No wonder it's difficult to beat MU 1st penalty: Clearly Evra put his feet in front of sturridge, penalty 2nd penalty: Welbeck put his feet on Ivanovic, penalty I have never complained about referee, that is just simply a joke. Howard Webb clearly want MU to win

- Evra trip sturridge = penalty - Welbeck trip ivanovic = penalty Hillarious

I predict Jose will coach one of the Manchester club in the future.

I agree that we need one winger to back up mata and sturridge. AVB will still want to play 4-3-3 and as I much as I hate Sturridge, I just don't see AVB dropping him. Everybody mentions about a really good creative midfielder, I am just not sure where to put him in our current lineup. Unless AVB is ready to declare Lampard as just a rotation player. Meireles/Lampard --- Ramires Romeu/Essien I believe what we really need is a really good target-man. Drogba is still good player but he is 33 and I am really tired of Torres saga. He is almost unplayable when he play in a high tempo team like Liverpool but he does not fit the way chelsea play and we will better of selling him or even trading him for carroll. We need a target-man, Liverpool need a poacher

Interesting, so the problem lies on our team inability to play high line, however with Cahill I don't see AVB buying another cb in summer. After our performance against MU, I was excited about this season. Torres scored and if we took our chances we could score 5 in Old Trafford. It is just so depressing to see the way we play right now. I am just afraid our inability to score will cost us UCL spot

I like AVB philosophy with his possession football and high line however Is it just me or I feel like this season Chelsea is having a really major problem in term of creating chances. We play a slow build-up game which give time for our opponent to organize its defense and most of our attack come from crosses. Not only most of them are usually terrible crosses but they are floating crosses from deep. I just simply don't see Sturridge and Torres winning many ball in the air. I saw a couple of goals for us this season when Cole/Mata was able to penetrate into the box and made good crosses, but I don't think they can do that consistently. Mata prefers to cut inside and do a link up play and cole is simply not 27 anymore. Without Ramires who is great at counter attack, I really have no idea where the goals will come for us other than from set pieces or defensive mistake by our opponent.

I'd go Torres Mata Meireles Sturridge Romeu Essien Bertrand Luiz Terry Ivanovic Meireles played well behind striker back when he was with Liverpool

Problem with Torres: - He looked sluggish and slow - He wanted a through ball but the ball always came to his feet + no Chelsea player can make a good through ball except Mata and sadly " Torres - When he made a run, the ball never came to him and in the end he looked confused Btw, Essien played a good game, composed + good passing

Playing mata in the hole is a great move by AVB, n he is simply a genius

Am I the only one who think torres played quite well ? He did not lose the ball and his link-up play was quite good. In the last 5 minutes when the game was played really fast, I thought he looks really dangerous. No excuse for the miss though, I thought it was a difficult chance (his only chance) but he should have buried it.
