Pumped for this match
Has a confirmed lineup been announced yet? most curious to see if Lampard will be included in Chelsea’s XI.
Not yet
Watching the Newcastle Villa game
Cisse just scored on his debut. And at 8/1 to score next, I didn’t take the punt, after saying it was a good freakin bet

Suprised Young is starting after being out for a while
But him Rooney and Welbeck were linking up very well in the arly part of the season
I think Rooney may sit quite a bit deeper today
Not quite CM but Fergie might want to crowd the midfield space
Really?
They are quite awful this year
Score?

Subs
United: Amos, Berbatov, Park, Hernandez, Fabio Da Silva, Scholes, Pogba
Chelsea:Turnbull, Romeu, Lukaku, Ferreira, Hutchinson, Bertrand, Piazon.
United have by far the more strength in depth
Chelsea is fucked.
What a weak bench.

4-4-2 with two out and out wingers. And two attacking full backs. Giggs can go forward too from the centre of midfield.

I like Valencia too I think he is dangerous
Btw what do you make of the Welbeck contract situation, will he sign soon? or did he sign an extension with you already?

Valencia is probably the most in form player in the league right now. The last month he has been unplayable
Love the fact he is against Boswinga today too

I kind of have a soft spot in my heart for Chelsea though. I lived like 10 minutes away from Stamford bridge for a few years. But still hope they lose badly.

I of course love Terry. He let’s goals in.

I would prefer to face Cahill tbh. Because Cahill is making his debut. And his partner is Luiz (Liability)

Agreed
Not enough skinning of Bosingwa so far.
You guys don't look particularly incisive today
Certainly a bit better then Chelsea, but I’m not seeing much production in chances. Kind of the opposite of Arsenal. We make chances and throw them away.
We look threatening, without looking lethal

I love Park
But what exactly does he play?
Who can blame him?
Not only is it his first time back in a while, most of our play seems to bend more towards our right hand side.

Wtf De Gae screaming at Evans after you deflected the ball into him.

Of course not but you don’t do that to your team mate.
Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Oooh Aaah, Cantona! Oooh Aaah Cantona!
Course you do
I know it wasn’t Evans fault but it is the passion of the game

You don’t scream at your team mate for unintentional shit like that. Not marking sure but something that is not his fault no. You wouldn’t see Schmeichel doing that and he was famous for yelling at defenders.

Sick of the Chelsea crowd
The way they keep booing every time Ferdinand touches the ball is extremely annoying. Guilt by association, I see.
They are Chelsea fans
You can’t really expect for them to be reasonable
Why will no one shoot?!

Something I hate about our team
No one is willing to pull the trigger
by Sweet science on Feb 5, 2012 4:43 PM GMT up reply actions
Because Chelsea are crowding their area pretty well
Every player who got the ball either had no room to shoot or was under a lot of pressure.
I think a sub is called for
Scholes I think could really open it up. if we stay 4-4-2 we could push giggs out to the wing and take Young off
Scholes
Could give Valencia the service he craves. He balls are far too slow in getting out to the wings IMO
by Sweet science on Feb 5, 2012 4:51 PM GMT up reply actions
Not so sure about that
Chelsea players would be on him every time he has the ball. But then again, he IS Scholes…
I think Park would be useful
Reclaim the ball a bit more and attack faster
I love Park, but...
…I don’t think we’ll necessarily attack faster. Speed isn’t a big part of Park’s game anymore, especially when you consider the fact that he’s already played two games this past week (fatigue).
Hmm, I don't know about fatigue
but Park is good at reclaiming the ball. Then comes a counter attack
Still wide open though
Torres has played quite well, and Sturridge is always a danger, but other than that, they havn;t shown a lot
Center midfield
I feel that we’re getting bossed there…maybe we should throw in Scholes and/or Pogba soon?
Any halftime subs?
Wouldn’t be surprised to see someone go off for Scholes, as Sweet science is advocating. Could be instrumental in pulling strings in determining our overall play.
God, I want Morgan out
He is such a terrible commentator
Evra got caught infield and didn't have a chance of closing down the cross
Mata umarked with a fantastic volley
Hey you never know, you guys can catch up
You just need a break

Seriously bullshit.
Too many lapses in concentration.
I think Berbatov would have been better then Hernandez today
Chicharito is great for runs, but without service, he can’t do much
But then Berba can be very lax in front of goal
And we need every goal we can take

You'd think that Chelsea would want to bunker down.
But no, they want to attack. They’re out to humiliate us.
Should've been at least the second penalty this game for United.

Let's bring on Scholes
Fuck my doubt. Let’s bring him in to boss the midfield.
Come on guys
I need you to take points off of Chelsea
Also, City can’t win the title
Valencia dropping to right back
In a Dani Alves role now.
Think we'll pull off a 5-3 like Arsenal did?
Seems a bit of a stretch, but hey, I can hope, right?
Doesn't look like it
That was a wide open game and Arsenal closed it down in the second half. Arsenal were down 2-1, took it to 3-2, had a goal that shouldn’t have been allowed, and then Terry tripped and the Hat-trick was completed
Scholes isn't seeing too much of the ball
He’s fulfilling more of a psychological boosting role than a game-dictating role. In any case, he’s doing well!
And Park loves a cruical goal
Pogba…. what a day to make a name for himself

Shouldn't have let Torres through
We better not have lapses in concentration now, out of all times.

Hmm, I won't say the defence is shaky but the defense can't seem to help De Gea on crosses/corners like vs Liverpool.
But he did shit ass against Blackburn.. .’
The team played lousy that game
It was an all around team effort to lose that one.

In other news
Today was a bad day to have Jonny Evans in my fantasy team…
Rio was more shit than Evans was..
We missed Smalling.. Oh gosh!
Young was rubbish
Think maybe having Park sooner on the pitch would have helped. Young was invisible and didn’t look like he was ready to start a game or help out his defense tracking back.
Park skinned Ivanovic last year in May. I still think he should have gotten the nod over
I still think he should have gotten the nod over Young, and if Park was getting tired, Young could have come on as a sub.
