Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Certainly don't think United deserved to beat us. The biggest annoyance of this game was the commentary, i seriously thought for a while that i had accidentally subscribed to MUTV.So true, personally didn't understand the overrating of Scholes' passing, especially when the ball to Sturridge from Essien got no reaction whatsoever.

Badboy 1,526 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 This game does not matter at all, it nothing more than a regular pre season game. I thought sturridge was really lively and he was an instant upgrade on anelka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Conclusion:1. Chelsea need a better reserve keeper.2. Chelsea need better finishers, Kalou & Anelka cannot provide it.3. Chelsea need to improve the defendingWTF is this? Watch your font size mate. Have mercy on our eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Okay, thoughts1. First of all, I'm not too disappointed with the performance. It was a good run-out for the players. We certainly deserved to draw the game and with better finishing and better luck, would have done so.2. Our defensive line was poor. We tried to play a high line but with slow defenders like Terry and Ivan in the middle, it was too easy for United to run in behind. There was no organisation at the back and the players seemed to lack a bit of agility and weren't synchronized and decisive in their actions.3. We were also very narrow at the back, especially on the left where Cole was tucked inside too much. United always found a ready outlet on their right in the shape of Valencia and their first two goals were down to the frailties mentioned above.4. The passing was a bit off today, especially in the first half and there were too many heavy passes, but that can be put down to the players still not being fully fit and lacking match practice.5. Carlo got it wrong by not taking Kalou and Anelka off at HT.6. Our game improved greatly in the second half, the players played with more freedom, purpose and conviction. The passing got much better but the defence was still quite worrying.7. I really liked our fluidity and movement up front. United spent much of the second half defending deep and clearly on the backfoot. Good interplay between Malouda, Drogba, Sturridge, Kalou.8. Essien was really impressive in the DM role. He got caught up the field once or twice but that is understandable given we were really pressing for goals. His vision and passing seemed to hit a whole new level once he was put there.9. I think we lacked a creative spark in midfield. We kept the majority of the possession throughout the game, but didn't really have anyone to change the game with a moment of magic when United sat deep with 2 banks of 5.10. Overall, an okay performance marred by a lack of clinical finishing and clumsy defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseablue 2 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 yes..we did lose to man u..but i still have confidence in our team..because when sturridge,Drogba,benayoun was brought in.we play well.only lack of the finishing..the defence maybe shaky.but i am sure we will improve on that..i think we can win west brom by few goals if we put sturridge,Drogba and benayoun..

Steve 10,227 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I am happy with what I saw at times, but we just lacked a bit in the creativity side. We pretty much tried to do the same thing over and over again, going down the wing and crossing it which resulted in over hit crosses or corners that went straight to the keeper. I am happy because we went out and attacked and did not stop running which is good for match fitness.I would of preferred to play how we did and lost 3-1 in a pre-season game, then play like united did and play counter attack football and not work on match fitness. Essiens ball was just amazing, deserves a finish on the end of it, but i think Daniel just shot a bit too early. All in all, i am looking forward to the start of the season and i am pretty confident if we play with some pace and get the defensive side of things correct.

Alee. 182 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I know community shield counts for only so much, but i cant say im not a tad bit worried about the coming season - Seems like we really do need more firepower up front, Drogba alone is not enough, Anelka is running out of fuel, Kalou and Sturridge can not be relied upon.Our defense is struggling, and we desperately need a better reserve keeper, imagine if Cech gets injured (very probable) in mid-season, and we have to play teams like Barcelona, Inter etc or even Liverpool / Arsenal, i would not at all be comfortable with the fact we have two incompetent keepers as back up.

Madmax 9,219 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I just think though that it might not be that bad for the likes of Terry, Lampard and Cole to get some more minutes on the pitch against Hungary. Of course there's always the threat of injury, but they looked a bit short of match fitness today and maybe just maybe the midweek international might help with their fitness.
