    Very strong Chelsea team against a weak United side. Unfortunately that means a 0-0 draw.

    I hope this game has lumps and bumps written all over it.

    With that team I see a Nou Camp-esque performance, Fergie is bringing the bus.

    Giggs is a huge mistake.....

    thats all

    Well not that big as Ronaldo sitting on bench i think


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    Draw
    As i already said,why Ronaldo and O'Shea on bench?

    O'Shea is on the bench because he's crap :)

    Well he isnt great but i dont know if Silvestre is better,not playing too much lately,thats why i am suspicious

    This system could work were it not for Giggs.

    Fergie's got his eye on the prize, resting two key players, Evra and ROnaldo.

    However, I'm still relatively confident. Silvestre ain't great but he ain't a bad LB. (also he needs games in case we do get to the CL final and Evra is suspended)

    Giggs is the issue imo.

    Fletcher to score us the winning goal today is written in the stars :)

    Big game for Carrick. Anderson and Fletcher will give the midfield plenty of legs so its up to Carrick to try and dictate the passing game.

    Anderson can still pick a fantastic pass and I do fancy him to open his United account today.

    Silvestre at left back,while not being my favourite player(to say the least) isnt too bad an option,certainly better than having him in the centre. He also can play a great left to right long ball and with Nani on the right it could be a great attacking option.

    Yep Vidic after corner kick and than Fletcher to shut our mouths scoring to finish Chelsea:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,049 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Now that Ronaldo isnt playing and after the frenzy about him after the Barca game, lets watch Joe Cole and his diving today. Without doubt the most consistent English diver. Also he looked out of sorts against Liverpool during the week after having an excellent few months. Lets hope he brings the Liverpool form into this game as he is a real threat.

    yipee, Digitalb HD showing the match

    And the show is starting....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,602 ✭✭✭joe316


    Nice 3rd eye from Mikel there on the steps, nearly ended up on his arse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Draw
    Fergie playing for a draw with the attacking subs to come in if Chelsea go in front. Lets hope Chelsea score first from a neutral point of view to make a game of it.

    i agree with you PHB, this team and system could work.....but giggs gives a headache to it.....i think he will be a passenger today again and i dont know if you can affors one against Chelsea at home

    Ronaldo on the bench is not something i mind, he needs to be fresh for Barca

    United (United fans)
    Yeah,Mikel could finish the game on those stairs before it even started,Manchester seems to look again like against Barca.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    hopefully vidic doesnt have to go off again, his mouth/face must be in bits after that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,008 ✭✭✭delija_sever029


    United (United fans)
    Sh!T!!!!!!! Vidic is so bad luck lately.....And Manchester already defending like its last 10mins of game and not starting


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Chelsea (Chelsea fans)
    Vidic doesnt appear to be coming back does he, im now very worried


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    poor auld vidic, he's cursed

    And Rooney's gonna to kill Nani someday!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    Chelsea (Chelsea fans)
    Hargreaves on, same as the feckin Nou Camp, the midfield is non existent..... no retaining possession.....chelski will be scoring soon me thinks

    I have to say I'm gettin worried about Van Der Sar...
    He's lookin a bit dodgy lately.
    Time to look at Ben Foster perhaps?
    And playing Vidic was quite silly :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭kaisersose77


    Vidic got a knee in the face, he didnt go off because of the problem he had midweek..................how is playing him silly

    This game is nothing like the Barca game, I fully expected this powerful start from Chelsea , they have to go for it, but the different is Utd do look dangerous on the break/counter.
    BUILDING UP TO A GREAT GAME .
