OFFICIAL: Chelsea v United thread.

Anelka looks their most dangerous player. Other than that I think we`re bossing things. Need a goal from all this possession though as I think they`ll deffo get 1.

btw i thought valencia was terrific in that first half. chelsea's left side barely existed for most of the half, cole was pinned back and valencia was giving us a real option on the right. great energy and movement, our most threatening player by some way.

carrick, fletcher and valencia have been very good. anderson has done ok could do with getting a bit closer to rooney when the ball is played forward though.
giggs and evra have been sloppy, if they sharpen up then we could cause them more problems down that side
defending very well restricting them to ball lumped in the box mostly

Did he say it'd be given at OT?

Anyway back to the sofa and the coolbox of Uri.

valencia has been superb so far. he has pinned cole back. cole looks shit scared by valencia's pace and strength. we should have got a penalty, a free kick and a yellow to lampard because of valencia's runs.

i don't know about anderson and fabregas but fletcher shits on essien most times they meet. what a £#%&!ing player he has become. incredibly fast to close down, anticipates their passing, forcing mistakes all over the place. did he misplace a single pass?


good display from rooney as well. he is capable of playing the lone striker role provided he gets decent service from midfield. chelsea are struggling with his movement, very intelligent ways he's showing for the ball.

Im in two minds. On the one hand, I have watched the first half and agree with you that we did well. On the other, i've been reading this thread and we were quite clearly shite.

I thought Anderson was our best player along with Evra although Fletcher really came into it towards the end of the 1st half.

rooney superb play and then giggs

or Anderson's positional awareness ?

Giggsy really has to get subbed, as I said at half time.

Astounded at how wasteful we've been in the final third.It's staggerring.

Why can't anyone pick the right £#%&!ing ball ffs?

giggs shooting ability is soo anonying.

Are you a 14 year old girl?

Why didnt Ando shoot ffs.

Utd are playing well but we are so £#%&!ing toothless when we get at the edge of their box, not even warming cech's hands.

needless free kick that.

giggs is having a mare tbh
