Closed Chelsea v Man Utd

[Hutcho 8,443]

We should take all our corners short.

[5354 204]

terrible passing.

but still a nice game to watch so far

[Hutcho 8,443]

They either don't make the front man or just are too looping.

Not A Good Half...

[5354 204]

i am thinking if we should switch back to the old 4-3-3 under ancelotti.

play ivanovic or luiz upfront patnering ba.

hazard and mata to cross from flanks.

Oscar needs to hit the weights.

[Chels 238]

Fucking terrible, can't string a few passes together...

I don't get the tiredness thing either ?

Lets hope for a better second half.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

VERY POOR CORNERS/FK FROM US!

[5354 204]

so much for resting cole and ended up playing betrand lol

[Heisenberg 1,824]

Shit match, and because United loves this kind of shit matches, they'll win 1-0.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Meh. But at least it's a better start than the last few times we've played them. We just need to get more from Mata and Oscar, and we can get a few more chances and perhaps take the lead.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Horrendous to watch.

[Ankit 3,176]

Oscar, man he looks like he should have started the next gen final later tonight and not play with the big boys.

[TorontoChelsea 4,064]

Pretty dull first half. Not many chances. I think that's the way ManU wants it-to keep it close and be able to bring on their vastly better bench options later. They're shape has generally been very good so far and have been hard to break down and then they play quick triangles up the pitch from the sidelines to the middle of the park. Our passing has been really sloppy (Ramires in particular) and Oscar must have given the ball away five times in that half. Nani has been horrible for them and he's a whining little diver to boot. Game could still go any way. We need to find Mata some space. I might even think about switching Oscar and Ramires on the pitch because although Ramires isn't a good crosser, but his speed at least opens up things for the other attackers.

I bet if UTD had scored all of u would be saying wht a worthless team we are.

If had some luck we could have been 1-0 up

Oscar off Lamps on 4-3-3?

[Jype 6,398]

Ferguson clearly getting the better of Benitez today. At Old Trafford we started with a weakened lineup and changed the game completely after substitutions but today it's the other way around, we have our best players out there already but still couldn't really control the game. Now they can get the likes of Kagawa, Van Persie and maybe Young on and the game is pretty much over. Who do we have on the bench, Torres? We should have taken advantage of our stronger lineup in the first half and scored at least one goal, now I'm not too optimistic anymore.
