Man United 2-1 Chelsea

[Krypt 241]

Think we should be happy with second after our season. Kalou was awful and Alex should have started looking forward to next season and I hope Carlo is the boss. We have done fantastically well to be 5 th a month ago to being 2nd. Couple more players with so creativity and we will be fine.

Ktbffh

[bloody 209]

are you serious?

yes

had the fucker not had a lapse of concentration at 0.40 seconds, we'd have gotten a draw.

Didn't and couldn't watch it, but i heard some of the game from Five Live, sounds like Essien was playing awful. I really can't see him here next season, as hard as it is to say, he just isn't the same player. Ramires is his replacement, imo, and it would give people like Benayoun and McEarhan the chance to break into the first team. Anelka is another one.

I expect alot of changes in the summer, and seeing this result, it looks like this could be evidence for Roman to get into his back pocket.

No he is good.

One bad game does not say he is bad.

Look at how many people criticize Kalou, yet last week they where singing his name. More hypocrisy from people???

The only problem i see here, and i been saying it for some time, even when we are winning, is that we have no creativity. Lampard is not, and will never be a creative player, simple as that!

Chelsea has to buy a creative midfield like Pastore in the summer, otherwise we are doing the same thing over and over again. Firing the coach, and still having a weak squad.

I kept saying it when Chelsea was winning, and still say it now. Chelsea needs in the summer, a winger, creative midfield and RB.

Just 3 players come in. We don't need a total overhaul. That is wrong, and we can't do that.

Sorry, but no anger. We lost deservedly, such lesions are accepted more easily. Thank you guys for the donated by hope, not everyone will be able to play such a separation. Let's be honest, second place for this season will be fine. The main thing to watch out for now as well. Thanks team, thanks to Ancelotti. Hope to see you with Carlo in Chelsea and the new season.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Simply, this is not Chelsea FC.

We played like shit.They wanted it much more than us and fully deserved it.

Where is the passion,where are blue lions,where is the blue heart ?

Slow,boring,and woeful football.No desire,they played like they have to win it,not us.

I'm angry because this United team IS NOT BETTER.

Drogba,Alex and Cech can keep their heads held high.

It's now just the matter of time for Carlo to be axed.

There isn't room in the squad for Mikel,Essien and Rami as far as i'm concerned.

Ramires as the Essien's replacement.

[eldo 868]

Backing them in the Champions League now.

GOOD GRIEF.

[Krypt 241]

United deserved it. We weren't good enough, but I'm proud of how we've got back into it. Backing them in the Champions League now.

Please no. As much as I hate barca I want them to destroy united

[Milan 17,878]

I would even believe that our tactics before the kick-off were good and the right ones, but the goal inside the 30 seconds really killed us, we were completely stunned by that and couldn't get over that. Shame.

[spuz 143]

Maybe Luiz is a midfielder. Real used to play Karembeu in central defence and it was a joke. Sort of reminds me of that.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

No more defensive midfield players now!! We've got too many & that's what's cost us today more than ever.

[street2008 1]

Hernandez has had like 5 chances put on a plate for him. Torres hasn't had as many since he joined us.

Right - but that;s also because he runs where the ball is going to be....where was Torres?

[dodojojo 510]

And suddenly £30m from Milan for Essien looks good.

We need Creativity, imagination, spark.

Yep, all the talk about keeping on with Drogba and the same team/system for next season because of a good run towards the end...It was a good run but did you think the team looked dominant? There were quite a few games where Chelsea weren't very good but got the results needed and let's face it, some of those results were against Blackpool, West Ham, etc. Come up against a halfway team and Chelsea are overrun.

Have to think outside the box of trucking on with a team built around players in their 30's and that has reached the end of the football cycle. It's been about 7 seasons, that's a long run in football but let's move on in a big way. The team can compete in the top 4 but to actually win the big trophies, big changes have to be made.

There were quite a few posters here who predicted Torres wouldn't make much of a difference in the 2nd half because the midfield would continue to be pedestrian. And we were right. Think about having to say this for an entire season in 2011-12? Bring in guile and creativity please.

2nd fastest goal this season...typical the first one if our OG against Wolves!! Just kinda getting settled and all then kinda wtf!! Like Everton's goal in the fa cup..except shitty outcome

Got one back at least..thought we were gana be 4-0 down at ht

[Gappy 130]

Drogba and Torres should not be blame at all when the midfield never create any chance for them.

All game we never create a "good" chance to score in open play , We just have a possession but cannot create whatever !!

In the different side United just 1 pass direct to finish many many times while our midfield hold ,slowly and didn't quick enough to escape from their pressing

[Tomo 21,736]

The worse thing about this is taking shit from utd "fans" who have never set foot inside Manchester.

[TGS 7]

Completely agree. And after the first goal, I dont believe Carlo had an idea how to do so Chelsea can score one more back. Like MU did in Champions league against us...

[Kez 2,727]

yes

had the fucker not had a lapse of concentration at 0.40 seconds, we'd have gotten a draw.

Forgetting about his goal against united that even put us within touching distance of the title? A draw wouldn't even of been enough today.
