Closed Chelsea v Man Utd

[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 27,111]

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.

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.

Betrand saved us aganist the Herandedz;s shot. Cesar just ran away! he should have closed down hernandez

I would say put on Moses for Oscar but probably wont happen because for some fucking reason Rafa played Moses the full 90mins on Saturday....

One thing is for sure tho.. Oscar has been our worst player on the pitch so far

[Keikoismad 162]

Hazard best man on the pitch for Chelsea in the first half.

So

probably Benitez will sub him

Since I hate Manure with passion deep inside I´d like to see Chelsea winning today.

However, from logical point of view the club must finish in top four PL places.

Therefore, if Chelsea are knocked out today, it won´t pain me much.

That way, Chelsea will play less games & just maybe ends up placed for CL competition for next year.

Yeah i understand how you feel man, watching a chelsea game and not wanting chelsea to win is impossible for me. But knowing rafa's intention and the congestion of matches with FA and EL I think it may be to much for us to be able to finish in the top 4 and challenge for 1 of them. Our PL fixtures are awfully tough.

Oscar off Lamps on 4-3-3?

Although you feel it would be wise and just right, you unfortunately know it's never going to happen.

Also, for any hockey fans, David De Gea's style reminds me of Dominik Hasek.

[NishC300 1,865]

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

exactly. That is evidence of how poorly Rafa is training the team!

We've been reluctant to put the ball in! Just give Ba and the other mids something to run at!

[Ankit 3,176]

Not being able to put a goal past a second string United team. Sums up the season nicely.

right lol, always going down showing his legs skills

[Special Juan 27,111]

Can't continue to pass it like this and expect to beat United.

I really do think at times what this lot do in training.
