Badboy

We played fantastically well though just a bit too though gung ho. i think many players can take positives out of this game but lets be honest that was probably the best Chelsea performance for a long time. Mata's passing and Torres's movement was just sublime, Mata needs to play in the hole !

Don't watch it mate, you will see his goal then you will get happy then you will see his miss and then you will cry !

Going in without Mikel was always going to be We can win 4-3 or even level it come on Chelsea !

Good Grief............................................................

United are United and they always have 12 men on the pitch. I think we will win though, Chelsea 3 -0 Man United ! If Torres does not at least cause a distraction then he should be benched for the next game !

Come on Nando please prove me wrong !

HAHAHHAHA 10 GOALS A SEASON HAHAHAH OH MY GOD 21 MORE GOALS THEN THAT.

lol its hardly a shocker anymore. This just shows that Roman seriously needs to get out of our transfer dealings in future. Carlo did not want Torres he even said in January i am not bothered if he comes. I have already faced the reality that we have been done over in this deal and if Drogba was fit today he would start at least he offers a distraction for others to find space.

Alex he is still one of the best pure footballers at this club. He has brilliant technique, he was always going to suffer a dip in form he was sensational beyond belief for a while !

Whole point of a forum mate, we all bring our OPINIONS to the table. :yellow_card:

I would start Lukaku too, i think he would be able to stay right up top and he has pace to burn. I would have Mata in that little hole were i think Rooney will play for them. Then i would have Malouda on the left with Anelka on the right but Anelka having the option of making runs inside with Mata on the ball. I would focus Malouda and A.cole to double team Smallimg who i think is a weak link and to get balls into the box for the on rushing Ramires, Anelka and Lukaku !

I know i might sound crazy here but i would of like to of seen what Arjen Robben would of been like if he did not break his foot against blackburn. That boy was electric but that injury took 40% out of him in my opinion. I think Messi is an incredible player and probably the best today but Zidane was a player then what Messi is today. Zidane Romped Euro 2000 like it was his tournament and he completely took Champions league season 2001-2002 ! Zidane is not put up with Maradonna and Pele because he was a late bloomer but he was better then Messi no doubt !

Sturridge has AFRIKAN ROOTS CAUSE ITS BLACK !

I am not blaming it solely on Van Nistelrooy but he did take a huge amount of resource even for the national team. As soon as he leaves the national team we reach our first world cup final in years WHY ? because the shackles was taken off players like Wesley, Robben, Van Persie. That dutch side was not the best we have had but they worked as a unit ! Even though Torres is a bit more rounded then what Nistelrooy was he still demands too much !

Half of that side being just as old as our manager ? :huh:

Does anyone find it funny the way my countrymen Van Nistelrooy only won 1 premier league title in 6 seasons and as soon as he left Man utd they went on a trophy run of like 5 premier league titles and 1 European cup. As soon as Nistelrooy was sold Rooney Ronaldo and a host of other players came of age, Van Nistelrooy got 95 goals in 150 apps and they only won 1 Premier League in his time as the forward.......... you know why because he needed too much of the teams resources just like Torres will need.

His goal scoring record for Spain ain't that good because he is not the only player that is a special attacking talent. He has scored a little over 1 in 4 games which is not great considering he plays in the most creative national team in football history in my opinion. I have accepted that we have seriously fucked up here and Liverpool are probably over the moon, we practically paid for Suarez and Carroll. While they got rid of a one dimensional pace based goal scorer who needs the team to sacrifice themselves for him. I do not like players who need the team to sacrifice themselves for them to play well, Totti needed that and so did Rivaldo.

But do you admit that the whole Liverpool team was geared towards him scoring hence being a 2 man operation with 2 holding players. Do you also agree that you can not win a league with only 1 player taking 80-100 % of your attacking resources simply because he needs it ?

Are they actually allowed to even fine him. Does it say in his contract that he must agree with he official story and if he does not and he publishes it he will be fined. I do not know how this would be possible its not illegal to to be a conspiracy theorist. Also a huge chunk of Americans actually think the same.

When he played for the Scum he had a whole team playing for him to score. I got really excited when we first signed him partly because he was Fernando Torres but i blindly followed the wagon of '' he will be good because he is playing in a better team'' but now after seeing him in Chelsea blue and looking at his body language and the way he apparently acted in getting Mata here, i can see why he needs so much focus on himself because he is limited as a footballer. I really hope he proves me wrong but i cant see it. I think/hope he scores on Sunday though.

You're right actually, i think the possibility of them playing a 4-4-2 is real now as they don't have that many options as i don't think he can afford to start Carrick Anderson and Fletcher. I think he probably stick Chico upfront, Chelsea 3-1 Man utd !

I can not see united playing 4-4-2 against us like they did against Spurs and Arsenal. He will go with Carrick sitting with Anderson and Cleverly in front of him. He will then go with Rooney flanked by Nani and young. We will probably go with Anelka Torres and Mata upfront, Sturridge will be on the bench for this. Lampard Raul and Ramires will play in midfield. The key player in this game for us is Ramires and this is why i think we will win this game. Ramires will completely cut Nani out of the game and then that will put too much pressure on Young and Anderson to provide for Rooney, Man utd at this point will malfunction. We will grow in confidence and we will score.. i think we will wi this 2-0 we might get third depending on how desperate united get.

He is not a team player and he just needs the whole team focusing on him or its a waste. You have got to play counter attack with Torres or there is no point. He can not play in a team that dominates possession, he is a counter attacking player and that is it. He is useless in all parts of the game except for the ODD dribble and exploiting space which admittedly he is good at.

Yes i agree with you FB the media are trying to kill him, he is getting much worse then what Edin Dzeko was getting last season but he has been shocking up to now.

The thing that gets my goat is he has the cheek to complain about the team not playing to his needs. Well i am sorry mate but we ain't going to win the league just playing to your needs. He is trying to turn us into a 2 man show like he did at Liverpool, he is nothing more then a 1 dimensional goal scorer that is it.
