Playing some very good stuff here.Nice and flowing.Loads of chances

And Foster could do with hanging on to the ball.

Looking very good going forward, perhaps the first time i have seen Rooney and berbatov look like a partnership. Delighted for Nani, a good start, needs to build on it.

£#%&! off Mikel

And Malouda

Foster

Im liking the chelsea shirt, especially the 3 stripes on the shoulder

One man team we are. Shit shit shit.

Definitely. Good first half that, Nani looking good, look forward to seeing Valencia in the 2nd hopefully.

Nani's problem has never been hesitating to shoot. Give him a sniff of a shooting chance and he'll have a dig.

But give him a chance to cross from wide - as he had at both the start and finish of the half - and he'll £#%&! about, cut it onto his left, then back to his right, and he very seldom fails to get a cross in.

This area, more than any other, needs sorting out sharpish.

Foster gives me a twitchy arse. He's also a little Englander. Support our Poles imo.

Fletcher once again proving that he's our best midfielder. Ridiculous half from him. He's been everywhere. He's now truly box-to-box: as good at picking out a pass as he is at cutting an opposition move dead.

Nani and Evra very good too. Valencia and Nani on opposing wings will be exciting this season.

He looks a changed player to me. His body language, his effort and attitude. Been impressed with him so far this pre season.

Yep PIG all the way for me.

You must be £#%&!ing joking. Fletcher is limited at best and has no business being anywhere near a United team

Carrick could do with stepping his game up a bit imo.

Very good for 15/20 mins around the goal, Chelsea have controlled the latter part of that half. A bit loose at the back, especially to aerial balls. Fosterlooks a bit nervous, sticky bobbly pitch has not helped him, forcing him to take too long and he is being closed down very quickly.

Fletcher is showing how far he has come in the last 3 years, he is now a fully fledged first team player.

Both the wide players have been very lively, in their different ways. Park very reliable, hardworking and using the ball intelligently. Nani less predictable, still makes some odd decisions but is always capable of a moment. That goal gets him a boost of confidence early in the season, something he lacked last year. His corners have been poor though, not much pace on them.

I just hope Foster settles down a bit with a few games under his belt.

Sky's coverage so far:

'blah blah blah ronaldo blah blah poor frank hasn't had the ball Richard blah blah ronaldo leaving blah blah Chelsea formation'

I disagree.
