Chelsea vs Manchester United

Get Mikel off... he's fucking crap!

[ZanSnake 1,211]

We keep wasting important balls to spaces where no-one is.

We wasted so much time passing it to unmarked areas where no-one is, we couldn't make enough challenges, Anelka seems like to be the one actually trying to score.

i got a feeling we will see deco on

Bit over the top........

I'm not a fan of this new formation

Last season, the players started kicking up a fuss when Scolaris tactics looked ineffective. I feel that this way of playing will take some getting use to. I know they're professional footballers and should be able to adapt in time, but its not something Chelsea managers have alot of.

[chrismada9 1,948]

More to the point, we need to close down United's attackers more! they're getting so much space when they're attacking particularly Nani, Rooney and Berbatov. As for our attack, Drogba and Anelka have been very poor. Time to bring on Sturridge in the second half.

Generally though, if Ancelotti feels that he's happy with the attackers we have, then he must be on heroine or something.

Bit over the top........

I know but Mikel has been awful in his position, Berbatov is pissing all over him at the moment, he needs to get stuck in, looks as though he's frightened of him all the time!!

Is lampard on the field??? or not?

Yet again, ironically its Malouda crosses from the left that looked the most dangerous. Sadly Drogba and Anelka are not capitalising on it.

i think the same he is a very poor player we are just trying to get a C.M out of him and it is not working. 45mins so far and utd have so much space to play with the ball because of A.L Diamond formation. We need wingers! we need to play the ball down the wing with the likes of j cole and F.M but he loves the diamond formation so i cant see us keeping the ball 2 much. when we get the ball utd are on us 1 2 or 3 men at a time when they have the ball they got loads of room 2 think!

4 midfielders versus 2 for MU yet we are getting owned by fletcher and carrick.

Sturridge is not even on the bench!

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Anelka is the only player actually trying to score and creat plays out of the two. He had two terrific chances that went wide or had been saved by a defender.

[chrismada9 1,948]

Seriously I want the 4-3-3 back! this Diamond isn't working for us

[zinctek 462]

we are getting owned because the formation we are playing! i think this wont work out for us this season if we carry on i can see the same happening as last year!

alot of us see this on the forum why cant the manager or players see it!

Our right attacking side is terrible. Get on Bosingwa.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I agree, and use a rotation system for Anelka and Drogba

[chrismada9 1,948]

Sturridge is not even on the bench!

WTF?? No Sturridge?

Who's on the bench then? Kalou??

[Steve 10,227]

Lads Give it some time. We had a poor first half. But still if someone was to look at stats we still had more Mikel off, Push Essien back defensive mid. Bring Deco on?

[zinctek 462]

yep kaluo is on the bench
