To be fair he missed the handball on De Gea outside the box. He's just an appalling ref really. Even if there are previouses of refs fecking us over at the Bridge.Dean isn't calling anything for us, typical at the bridge

feck up.First Half Ratings:
Falcao - LEAVE THE PITCH.
I'd say pretty good. Playing box to box and looking for a forward pass, but if it's not there he won't always force it like you'd expect.Not able to watch the game
How is ROoney doing in midfield???
Has to be. RVP can't be worse than Falcao, surely?Di Maria and RvP in for the 2nd half?
Shaw 7, Rooney 4, Smalling 3First half ratings:
de Gea - 3
Valencia - 6
Smalling - 3
McNair - 5
Shaw - 7
Rooney - 4
Herrera - 7
Fellaini - 5
Mata - 5
Young - 8
Falcao - 3
All the space? Are you watching? José did what he usually does and is putting everyone behind the ball. They frustrated Barcelona in their glory years for goodness sake. I think it's understandable that they'd do it to us.All the space in the world, and we keep going with slow, zombie possession. Far too much going backwards or lateral.
Chelsea set the tone for the game. They want us to have the ball. All we've mustered is a few left footed crosses on Ivanovic's side. Nothing from valencia and mata.
Good.Not able to watch the game
How is ROoney doing in midfield???
But how do we make that happen without Carrick and Blind, and bearing in mind that Fellaini has looked pathetic in midfield and unplayable up front?Rooney upfront would be a good start.
I wasn't quite right, but Rooney certainly isn't playing as the holding midfielder.Unlikely given he even said he might play Rooney as the defensive midfielder.
LolWhen has he ever done anything good? The guy is literally the most overrated player ever and its now starting to get on my nerves.
Thanks for that Andy Townsend.First Half Ratings:

And a shit load of Chelsea players infront of it.Only a goal in it .
Scorelines tend to sway people's opinions.This thread lol, following recent performances and the injuries I thought people would be content with how we're playing.
Yes, I thought ADM should have started instead of Falcao. We need some unpredictability and flair in our game, we're not going to score doing this textbook shit.Falcao should be more stronger. If he can't be tough then he can't play at these high standards this game requires.
Falcao off, Do Maria on any one ?
Mike Dean
