Totally agree Bloo, good substitutions soon as Mikel came on the attacking midfielders of Chelsea was able to go forward and terrorise the Utd defence. Made those numpty fans who were shouting "you don't know what your doing" look a bit stupid , typical sheep mentality lets all jump on the band wagon and bash Rafa.
You guys are certainly a Jeykll and Hyde team. Shocking for 45 minutes then very good for the second period! If only you guys could put it together for 90 minutes on a consistent basis! Which Chelsea will turn up on Thursday? Hope you progress to keep your profile as a top European team high!!
unbelievable second half, how many teams go to old trafford and boss united like that !! but really should of finished them
Was brilliant today, 4 and 1/2k Chels outsinging 70 odd thousand. Felt we should have won tbh, from about 30 minutes onwards we were by far the better side but took a while to get our finishing product sorted.
WTF? he didnt just change players unless you didnt notice form the sofa there Mr Armchair manager. Great job and should have got the win. Unlucky.
Don't quite agree Varier, Luiz and Frank in midfield were really good. You're right though, Frank CANNOT run central midfield, nor can Ramires. They both give the team heaps when someone else is pulling the strings, but can't do so themselves. If only we had bought Wesley Sjneider or a player like him, we'd be right up the top. That is our priority, not a striker. Rafa HAS to give a lot more thought to our balance, it was missing 1st half, and in my opinion, he got lucky with the subs, but at least he got it right. Now watch him pull it all apart next game.
I meant that as in if Mikel is playing, no Lampard. Not never play Lampard. I do think though if we want to rest Mata for any reason just put Lampard in CAM. May as well put him there, it's where he ends up anyway!
agreed, though we shouldn't crowd out the likes of Chalobah or Ake coming through or even Luiz. In fact, i thought Luiz was MASSIVE in that game. All our forward energy started with him. Good spirited performance in 2nd half and for the last 20 mins of the first as well. Now to see that on a more consistent basis.
I think we need another centre back to form a partnership with Luiz. Cahill is a good back up, but Luiz is what we want with a solid (ideally Hummels-esq) player in there. I hear Omeruo is meant to be in the first team picture next season. Be interesting to see if that develops. I like Luiz in midfield but I think he's a top CB - certainly ahead of Cahill and Ivanovic.
What the **** are you going on about! weonly scored after mikel and hazard came on! and if we had of had terry in the ****ing defence, we would not be shipping ****ing goals like a bunch of fairys , the fat spanish ****, needs to **** off out of our club and we might have a ****ing chance!
luiz is the best going forward, but in cb form its Terry, Ivan , cahill , luiz for some reason the waiter is not playing terry in the big games anymore, whther its becuase they ar hiding an injury os he's ****ing insane , can't decide!
Since you all don't like Rafa are you glad Fergie ignored his handshake and made him feel awkward? Personally I wanted Chelsea to win after that.
**** my language! I've supported chelsea since 1970's this guys is slightly better than scolari! drawing one game against Utd does not mean he's suddenly a genius! Gods sake everytime we start without Terry we look like we are going to ship goals, how the hell are they supposed to learn off the best defender if he's no longer picked!
