I disagree, Norfolk. Perhaps 'fear' is too strong a word but Chelsea didn't get themselves up for the game did they? All in all they were pretty poor until Lampard came on and upped the tempo. In fact they were pretty lacklustre - but we were far worse. Having said that, I fully acknowledge they have a team full of international superstars. I think a manager has to be capable on rare occasions of bawling out his players. Sunday was one of those occasions and I really hope Laudrup did so otherwise it'll be more of the same on the run-in. Saying "I was really disappointed" probably isn't going to get a reaction imo.
I don't know, I still think that style of management is over-rated and out-dated....that said....you can't really argue with Fergie's title cabinet
