*Official* Chelsea v United Match Thread - Teams & Piss poor refereeing inside

No Smalling or Cleverley in the squad.

So many £#%&!ing different teams flying about. Is it Smalling or Rafael at right back?

I've nicked the graphics for a thread on another forum by the way. Cheers

Carrick
Giggs
Young

Rooney
Welbers


If Giggs can pass, we'll batter them.

Subs: Amos, Fabio, Scholes, Pogba, Berbs, Park & Pea

Pretty happy with that. Obviously would be good to have more than one natural central midfielder in the side, but I suppose you can't have everything.

Happy with that. 2-1 United.

Come on Dedos de Mantequilla

Chelsea's bench...

Turnbull, Ferriera, Bertrand, Hutchinson, Romeu, Piazon & Lukaku

Compared to ours, their squad is £#%&!ing shite.

I thought Cleverley was supposed to be fit for today? Not even in the squad

Or Nani. So much for him being back today.

yeah right

Where's Smalling? So much for Nani and Cleverley coming back. Wouldn't be starting Young in such a big game, but whatever. Gosh darn it, i hope we're positive.

I suppose that's the best we can put out right now.
Is Smalling injured ffs??

The 'Carrick/Giggs' central midfield was accidentally stumbled upon this time last year or thereabouts...just as an emergency pairing to see us through the end of last season - It's still our first choice pairing ffs

I thought 'THE BRAND' was back today

Slowly but surely, nice to at least have Rooney, Young & Rio fit, hopefully the others back in the next week or two & refreshed.

Perhaps our medical team got that one wrong.

I thought SAF explicitly said he *wouldn't* be playing today? Just that he was "close" to a return (whatever that means )

How dare you

At least he traveled with them, maybe with the weather & state of the pitch it was deemed a bit early.

Jones, Anderson, Cleverley, Nani, Fletcher all missing from the midfield ranks

What's up with him, then? Not being "rested" is he??

0-2 Carrick and Rooney
