Closed Man United v Chelsea

[NishC300 1,865]

They also only really cared about one of those games and rested a lot of key players in all the games except the first Premier League game. We played twice in the league and the second time ManU had already clinched. Their Carling Cup lineup was a joke and we beat them 5-4 in extra time with our starters. The FA Cup, they also rested a lot of players. Van Persie only started the 2 games in the league against us. Rooney only started 2 of the 5 games. Lindegaard played twice, etc...and those games we were generally playing full strength or close (or in the case of Carling Cup, full strength after subs). I think we have a good chance to beat them, but last year's results were misleading because we played much stronger teams.

What about the game at SB? The league tie. We thoroughly outplayed them in that.

Lack of understand, oh do shut up. Yes it is my opinion. No i don't think he has improved. My best mate supports Utd and I have suffered almost all their games with them, and i know quite a lot about football actually and sadly UTD.

Degea is rubbish, he is STILL vulnerable and has not 'pushed' on.

Please stop dragging this into the 'i love degea thread' and arguing. I don't agree about him, just leave it mate. Its very tedious.

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.

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

That he's not better than Cech!

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

[bluephoenix 1,125]

Doesn't that mean we could draw?

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

[Pizy 17,860]

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 6,968]

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.

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