Chelsea 0-1 Man United

[MetsajCFC 1,255]

Why can't Alex play also??? - why is Carlo so ultra cautious when it comes to players fitness?? - He and Yossi have been fit for like 3 weeks and neither can even make it onto the bench. This is the biggest game of our season we need Alex at centre half and Ivanovic right back...

Re: Bosingwa I would rather Paulo for this tie as he can defend.....

Like I wrote it myself mate Spot on

[DYC. 7,542]

You guys are wayyyy too harsh on Bosingwa. He's not offering a lot at the moment but he's okay. Ramires, Bosingwa and Ivanovic will do fine on that right-side.

And about Alex, you don't bring a player, especially a defender, back in the starting line-up after being out for so long in such a big game. Defenders need game rhythm.

And Terry and Alex (Alex not so much over distance) are amongst the slowest of defenders, especially the first few yards, and could easily be exposed by the quick Rooney and the very very quick Hernandez. Not to think of the fact that most players always need a few games to back to full speed...

CA leaving Alex out of this is fully understandable.

[YuriZhirkov 106]

I really hope CA give Zhirkov the start, Malouda is to bad at the moment and Yuri gives more speed. Ferreira because he is better than Bosingwa in the defence and if Ramires and Ferreira helps like they did against Spurs and Bale, im sure they can take Nani. Anelka has been good in CL this year but Drogba is better in big games and Torres is Vidic nightmare..

Don't think fun is the word I would use when he concedes his usual 3 goals a game.......

UEFA should award the winners of penalty shootouts half a star and a different trophy.

The records will say that they won the game, but they didn't really win it, they just had more luck in the shootout than we had

Smart man, Cech..

[NattyBlue 44]

Same sorta thing that Essien says regarding the 1 - 1 draw with barca that knocked us out...

Anyway, I hope we fucking turn em over at home, just piss all over the pitch with em, easy.

[i.am.blue 61]

i will bang my head against the wall if malouda is named in the starting line-up

[chrismada9 1,948]

and a big shame that Benayoun hasn't even made it onto the bench yet.

I reckon Carlo is waiting for Benayoun can get to full fitness before he'll use him. Not sure if it's fully match fit after being out for so long with an injury, therefore, it's probably not a good idea to use him in an important game such as this.

[St Abramovich 175]

Really hope Carlo starts Torres and , sigh, drops Malouda. If Torres scores early, I can see him having a really great game

Cech

Bane Alex Terry Cole

Essien Benny Lamps Ramires

Torres Drogs

Screw being out for months, toss Benny and Alex in at the deep end, they can handle it.

Ramires to tuck inside for Ashley.

This is the time for Drognando to work.We have to push up,put pressure on their midfielders and defence.Hope that Carlo can rape Sir Red Nose again.

Would be happy with any win,even if concede.

Really looking forward to the epic QF.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Well, I guess we'll be going all out for the Champions League this season since we basically screwed up the chance to retain the title at the weekend.

If we get through this round I'd be confident saying we'll go all the way to the final to face Barcelona. Any time we've played them over the past few seasons we've shown we have the ability to stand strong and stifle their game. the last two ocassions we faced each other we were harshly put out by a dodgy ref (Ovrebo you bald cnut) and a last minute wonder goal by Iniesta. If there's a team that can put Baarca in their place it's us. Nothing would give me as much pleasure than beating Barcelona at Wembley and watching Blatter squirm as he hands the trophy to JT.

Anywho.......enough of me and my crystal ball. Lets get into these Manc cunts :cfc:
