The Big Drog 1,110 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Cech - Top class , awesome performance in the game and in penalties.Ivanovic - Disaster , the huge weak link for Chelsea at right back , luckily for Chelsea this was a friendly game and not the premier league.Carvalho - Everyone knows Ive long been a fan of the man , though even I had written him off and said he is past it following his few showings last season . Oh how to be proved wrong , world class performance from a world class defender , playing and on form there are few better than the man.Terry - Could have maybe done better with the first goal but alongside Carvalho an excellent performance.Cole - Excellent , not so good going forward but looked solid at the back.Mikel - I rate the guy very highly but he was really poor today.Essien - Decent in the first half out wide , once he moved into the holding role the man was immense , keep him there.Malouda - Did pretty good , though he doesn’t have the pace he once had he is intelligent enough to be able to replace it with his ability on the ball.Lampard - quite first half , very good second half as he really pushed up on Fletcher and led the pressing up of Man Utd high up the pitch.Anelka - Decent performance.Drogba - Good performance , when on the ball he was dangerous , his first touch and link up was excellent , caused problems for Man Utd’s defence and was heavily involved in both goals.

Alee. 182 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Cech - Decent performance, made some good saves, should have saved nani's shot though Ivanovic - Nani made a fool of him in the first half, didnt perform well at all Carvalho - Legend. Terry - Decent performance, tackle on Evra from behind was immense, But what the fuck was he doing infront of Cech in the first goal? Cole - Good performance, i actually thought he did well going forward (replying to the comment in the above post).. he did well to link up with Flo-Mo Mikel - He was supposed to take the pace of things, but when you compare his performance to Essien's in the Holding Mid Role, it was'nt up to the mark. Essien - Didn't impress me on the side, not his fault really, was world class (himself) in the Holding role Malouda - Looked good, liked him, he was good in the first half too.. Lampard - Good Goal, Played well as an AM, didnt like him at all at the right where he had to go cause of Deco Anelka - OK Performance, could have done more, but the important thing was he linked up with Drogba well, good to see.. Drogba - Looked a bit lazy in the beggining, but went on to give a good performance, pressured Foster to make mistakes, decent performance, but he knows he's done better.

Gianfranco_Z 202 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 wud deco have scored?just curiousWho knows?I think in the first half it was pretty even, Man Utd just about egdged it, having the better chances. thank god for Petr Cech But we really fucked them in the 2nd half, When you have a player like Rooney on your team you can score out of nothing, but luckily we won on the penalties...

middleoftheshed 388 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've only just got back and haven't seen any highlights but I'm sure rooney was offside for his goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart 29 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah Malouda was definitely more lively in the second half after going wider left. Same old Chelsea at the end though, just trying to cling on until the end of the game rather than just playing on to the final whistle. Costs us time and time again...Something Carlo should definitely work on.I don't know how long he will persist with this diamond, I don't think our best players suit it.If anything our players are best suited to a 4-2-3-1 with Essien as a destroyer, Mikel as a deep lying playmaker, Lampard AM, Anelka wide right and Malouda or Zhirkov wide left, and of course Drogba up top.

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Jesus christ what a game.First half we were appaling!Just didnt seem to be able to get passes together and second half .Meh about the complaints to our goal.Ref job etc and plus EVra is a fucking shit scorer the way he came over to celebrate Rooney's goal in front of us...and Rooney arg bookings lol.The people singing 1-0 and you fucked it up..seconds before that goal..woopsHopfully we can perform for Saturday how we did in the second half..not the bloody first.Man U looked very woha then but then again that may have been because we were crap!The pens...OMFG still cant beleive we did it..and how bad their penalties were!Evra hahaha got what he deserved. And we have a shiney shiled and plate with a dent in it horrah!!That half time penalty shoot out lol!!What was that about?!
