Closed Man United v Chelsea

[NishC300 1,865]

Guys the original point regarding De Gea, we made was:

That he's not better than Cech!

[The_Flash 1,144]

Why don't you shut the hell up with your bullshit? You know nothing and your so called United friend obviously watched United less than me last season. You really don't have a clue and still was not able to answer when challenged on why DDG was included in the team of the year. Tell me what he done that was so bad last year compared to the ratio of saves. Rather than keep posting the same old crap about he is "shit", "crap", etc whatever you want to call him why don't you actually come up with a reasoned argument.

Oh do shut up you silly boy. I know it's hard that someone doesn't agree with you and no matter how many pointless times you post I will not change my opinion.

If you love utd and DeGea so much go and support Utd and let other people talk.

You are not worthy of arguing with, I am so bored of you.

Praising your opposition when they deserve it is called being a footballing fan. Not supporting the other team.

3:2

Doesn't that mean we could draw?

both the teams drop points ! 1 point is wayyyyyy better than 0

It's almost a given that that smug faced cunt RvP scores, isn't it? He loves scoring against us.

Just like the Villa game where we had to worry about a highly dangerous striker, my biggest concern about this match is which CB pairing we go with. One tiny lapse in concentration and RvP will score.

I'd take a draw if offered right now.

Mikel and Ramires have to be the pivot for this one.

Why on earth would you prefer Mikel above Essien? No thanks to Mikel. He's gonna slow down our game and especially our counterattack. Dont want to see Mata dropping so low all the time again and pick up the ball.

For all the talk and prediction of Mourinho going with the 4-2-3-1, it wouldn't be a surprise at all if he actually decides to play 4-3-3 looking to keep it tight, play on the counter, make it a boring game even and snatch a 1-0 win. After all, this is a big BIG away game.

Post of the day.

[Henrique 9,133]

Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Cole. Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Schurle; Torres.

Thats my prediction.

i dont believe its even possible to play in a 4-3-3 system with the current squad.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Cole. Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Schurle; Torres.

Thats my prediction.

We would lose with that lineup, imo,

[Strike 7,217]

Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Cole. Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Schurle; Torres.

Thats my prediction.

sadly, i think RVP will piss all over that defence.

is Luiz fit for this one?

[Sheva. 5,373]

Cech, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Cole. Ramires, Lampard; Oscar, Mata, Schurle; Torres.

Thats my prediction.

Hazard will play obviously. And Mikel/MVG instead of Lampard. Apart from that, i'm fine with the rest.

Not sure, he already played both matches, Mourinhos likes to rotate, probably want Hazard to make an impact in he 2nd half for this one.

[ChelseaUnite 26]

-----------------Cech------------------

Iva------Cahill-------Terry-----Cole

-----Ramires------MVG/Lamp------

KDB/Mos---Oscar/Mata----Hazard

---------------Torres------------------

3 - 0 to Chelsea. Hazard, Torres, and Mata scores.

LOL, another idiotic post from an idiotic person. I will say no more. What an absurd reply. Because I think he is a good keeper that means I love United, yeah, yeah whatever , I will not even reply to you from now on, not worth it.

Anyway to the game itself I really hope Lukaku starts. I know he came off the bench last season against United and scored a hattrick in 45 mins but I believe it is time that he gets a chance to start up front. Especially with the possible signing of Rooney, it would be nice to see Lukaku get a start like Torres and Ba have had so far. I hope Cole can neutralize the threat of Valencia as much as possible because that will be United's game plan. Dominate possession, get the ball down that flanks and get it into RVP who only needs one chance. It is quite weird how every time we play United they always dominate most of the first half or first 30 mins and then we come out of our shell and fire back. I hope we put them on the back foot this time as I believe if we can score the first goal, Moyes will have a lot of thinking to do.

I also can't see Rooney starting at all. I reckon that is Moyes ploy of 'mind games' back against Mourinho. Feel confident though and reckon we might make a statement this Monday night.

[Strike 7,217]

it has to be said, Chelsea failed to break down Aston Villa. Really good passing and control football but very little in the way of forward thrust

United is a different ball-game altogether but last season, even at Old Trafford, United sat deep and countered at pace and they are a lot better than Aston Villa in doing that. The defensive unit (Back 4 + pivot) needs to have a good game, not just against RVP but also in cutting out the pass-options - especially to the wingers - if we are to win this game.
