Defensively it's been poor, there seems to be a kind of half press going on, like against Shakhtar, and it isn't working, it's far too easy to play around. For example their second goal, Ferdinand has all the time in the world to pick out Rafael. You either commit to a full press or you don't press at all.

However we fought back brilliantly. Ramires doing very well in the middle and Mata, Hazard and Oscar causing all sorts of problems. However the lack of a genuinely top drawer striker is still hurting us.

My only issue is that fergerson will go nuts at them and they will come out differently in the 2nd half, but if we can get our tails up we can really scare United here. Let's do it with the same tempo and same sharpness.

Ramires needs to stay on the left side to protect A.Cole. We can overturn this! At least get a fucking draw!

Yes, that may help Ashley, but would move Ramires out from the middle, where he's been winning the ball back and making some runs. He will have to pull one of the attacking players to the left to help Ashley a bit. Thought he was going to start this Match with Bertrand on the left for extra defending there, but ppl would've criticized the defensive approach for sure.

Abysmall transitions in the first half. Defensive line isn't really to blame considering they were forced to come out and challenge the duels they were supposed to cover. And then you understand the point of covering, considering a challenge can be won or lost, here, nobody could pick the 2nd balls.

It seems like the reading game, same transitional situations where the team is separated in two parts. MU's just more clinical...

Hazard's tracking work is dreadful, he should look at Young and how close he is to his full back. He clearly needs a rest or if not, a kick in the ass he deserves for years for not defending for his life.

I know. But I also think Hazard is on that list of possible FK takers!

I'm happy it was not Luiz but Mata that took that last FK. Result is a brilliant goal and not a young boy in the stands that goes home with a chelsea ball :)

I don't think Hazard has had 1 FK attempt at Chelsea so far, which I find surprising.

D. Luiz was never gonna take that one. That's always Mata's territory and boy did he produce.

We can win this, no doubt. 3-2.

Game is over, United don't throw away 2 goal leads.

Fergie has a crazy mentality into his players mind,

Fuck off. Fuck Manchester, Fergie and United and his players. If we work on our defensive mistakes and avoid getting deadly counter attacks we can win this fucking match.

Its about our game, not about their game.
