It's such a hindrance not being able to play balls in behind with Costa out. Need to get Fabregas on the ball more. Should have had a pen for Smalling on Ivanovic.
Not really, for a number 10, he does feck all to create chances and drag people with him to create space, just look at the way Oscar dribbles and unsettles our defenders, Mata is good for a team that plays with many passes and one-twos, but not for the pacey football Van Gaal wants the team to play.you should watch the game. It seems like you just tuned in.
don't be ridiculousI wonder why couldn't he perform like today against WBA...he's a lot more aggressive and eager to win. I guess he's only interested in the big stages.
You could say the same of Ivanovic.Mata and v.persie playing well. I'm abit worried about Rafael. He seems to have a stupid moment in him.
If someone hadn't seen the first half, they would assume that we were under the cosh. I actually think we are unlucky not to be ahead.Not bad. Made it to half time without conceding... enjoying the game though.
Doesn't mean he can't be better todayWhat? Januzaj has been our best player.
A few times he had the op to put the ball in the box and he hasnt taken it. Hes playing well but he cant always look for the killer ballHe's waiting for players to make runs. He's good at splitting the defenders with a pass. Unfortunately sometimes players don't make the run.
Yup, just what I was thinking. Need to get him on the ball more.We really need to move Di Maria more central. Just not having an impact on the right.
Tbf it should have been a penalty.Andy Gray, Hairy Hands Keyes, Zenden and Keegan all on beIN sports (Middle East) all saying Chelsea should have had penalty for corner grabbing but "this is Old Trafford and you know how things go there".
Not once, but twice.
fecking ABU cnuts.
Yiu re trying to tell me that Van Gaal has made Fellaini, Rafael and Smalling better on the ball? Don't see it.Yes, but the other players are more comfortable on the ball. Fellani, Rafael and Smalling look very comfortable in receiving the ball. Adnan, is getting more confident, but till slowing things down at the moment, done some really good passing. Mata, is being pressed, but still contributing more than last year. RVP got his touch back, still making good moves, just need a bit more pressing from him.
RVP has done well but Mata has again been invisible. That last attempt ... I have no words
Reckon Chelsea as playing within themselves slightly. If they decide to turn it on, they'll nick it!Ugh, you guys do actually look quite good.
Interested to see what happens in the second half. Still gonna go for a Chelsea win though.
Did you watch the game against WBA? If you did, did you think Januzaj was aggressive and eager to win in that game?don't be ridiculous
