    Wonder if the Chelsea fans screaming 'you don't know what you're doing' when he made those substitutions are bothering to eat their words?

    Defensive frailties have returned. Conceded 2 in 3 minutes against Madrid, 2 in 9 minutes against Chelsea. Need to be made of a lot sterner stuff than that. Midfield was woeful in the second half today too, it's up to them to get control of the game, and at the very least make Chelsea work for it. They didn't. Any attacking threat seemed to vanish when Kagawa went off too.

    Team is low on confidence at the minute and we really need a good performance against Reading to get it back again, at this moment in time I dont see us winning at SB. Wonder what minute Ramires will score his usual goal against us aswell and Im banking on a penalty or 2 in that game aswell

    As frustrating as Nani can be I would always play him ahead of Valencia because at least he offers unpredictability instead of Valencia's mediocrity

    Valencia has only become mediocre recently, he was the best RM in the league not so long ago. I have no idea why:biggrin:

    If by unpredictability you mean never knowing if he's going to pass to one of his own players or the opposition players than you are right! Unfortunately Nani has become dead weight, he was never any good when it come to the defensive side of things but you could forgive him when he was doing the business up the other end of the pitch, but now he's struggling to even find a pass never mind do anything special.

    Valencia has been consistently rubbish all season, defenders have figured him out, Nani's time at the club is up, Young is even worse than both.
    It is time for a complete change. A Whole new set of wingers are required at the club, I say get rid of all three wingers and bring in Zaha, Alexis and Rodriguez, surely they cannot be any worse than what is there already.

    So fickle you lot. One day 'proud' of United caving in v Real after a red, and now ashamed after ceding a lead v Chelsea

    It's quite simple really <ok>

    That's because Real have great players, a good squad and a quality manager.

    Chelsea are nowhere near Real, hence our anger at our performance.

    We don't really need to concentrate on the PL, as we have the buffer and the squad to do both.

    If anything Chelsea are the ones who need to lose - they can't really afford to go all out in another two massive games with their thin squad, a tough run in and Arsenal, Everton and Liverpool right behind them. If they stay in the EL they'll be overloaded and vulnerable to another season outside the top four.
