Closed Man United 0-0 Chelsea

The only problem I had with the squad was when Torres came on.

Again JT & Supa Frank are up to the task, despite what fsw thought. Did rvp play or did JT put that punk in his back pocket? 'JT is not good enough for CFC'....Rubbish!!! JT is still the Captain Leader Legend & I still believe both of these guys should have played in Wembley vs Man City in the FAC Semis.

Would like to say that I'm surprised at the pessimism regarding last night's selection/performance but I've seen it all before, most of those posts have been defended vehemently so not going to waste my time but will just add some logic.

First of all I can understand some frustration as we all know we can play much better and criticism is fair when it is justified, however Imho some members are being far too impatient in condemning the selection and performance, we simply could not go to OT gung ho and get carved open with the most lethal finisher in the league possibly in Europe ready to be supplied, our team is in its infancy and finding its feet, I have no doubt as the season progresses we will get better and better and by the time we face Utd again we will see a different Chelsea, by then the team will be in its stride finding its rhythm and jose will start to let the brakes off a little, then and only then will I understand some criticism.

Now as for the flack Frank's been getting, his role was to play as a DM to provide a shield to stop the supply to Rooney amongst other responsibility's which for the large part I thought he done admirably, his passing could be better but then he wasn't alone, let's not get confused with his role as an AM.

Neither side wanted to lose and a game that was ruled by defences, going into the season I was more worried about central defence than a striker that is obviously paramount but that performance fills me with some confidence which is a positive to take away from last night.

Patience people please........

rafa had 2 points in his first 3 matches while we have 7 (5 more) which includes a trip to the champions.

Have you even read what I wrote. Besides Benitez football > mourinho's aesthetics wise. All in all after seeing about 500? mourinho matches the last 9 years i'm sure he is the best manager in the world but not the best for this squad. Laundrup would get more out of them than mourinho.

Other remark, no clue why we are getting Willian while our pivot is so weak. Should of bought de rossi, witsel, etc

Mehh I'm done reading all these negative posts mates. U say Utd played so bad, and u neva asked yourselves why? Or what could have happened if we played such an open game that u all wanted? Alowing RVP to score? When all they wanted was for us to do that so that they would win Moyes's first game at home for him? Now I know most of us here weren't Chelsea fans when Jose won us the league in the past... Else u would know better. To think some would say replace Jose with Laudrup? Aint he the coach of Swansea city that lost their two opening games this season already????????!!!!! Funny, Very funny really.
