Ivanovic looks dangerous

ya he looks a danger when tackling our players, could break a leg!

Half time. Chelsea took long enough to come into it but United have made better use of their possession and look a lot sharper than United at times.

Foster is a bit dodgy though at times.

don't think it's quite that far.

utd aren't exactly hanging on yet. if they don't step up again Chelsea are likely to score, but certainly not on the majority of that 1st half performance.

MagicMarker

I hope we see Valencia and Owen at some stage in the second half.

*sells Foster from my Fantasy League team *

Man Utd had a great start, became more balanced as the half went on. Expect things to die out in the second half in they start making changes.

Firstly, Foster is never going to make it as a first choice keeper for United.

Secondly, Chelsea don't look comfortable in that new system at all. Players just don't seem to have any rapport with each other.

Thirdly, United look to be physically stronger and fitter than Chelsea.

Chelsea just don't look themselves at all. Hopefully persist with this system for a few months.

A handful and he has made at least 1 big mistake in each occasion.

He was great for Watford back in the day but seems to bottle it when there is any real attention on him. Not being able to cope with the pressure of playing for a top club seems to be quite common with keepers when at that age.

Exactly give the lad afew games before we write him off completly, he has had afew dodgy kicks but overall he has done fine.

Good start from United, it really is great to see Rooney playing upfront, I really believe he is going to have a fantastic season (barring injury).

berba really is a class act

That_Guy

Bosingwa on for Ivanovic. Not sure why Bosingwa wasn't starting tbh.

What games? What big mistake has he commited in this game then? stop talking rubbish.

It has been a decent watch so far.

United have looked quite good, and it is not as though they are up against weak opposition.

He has made plenty of mistakes. You know he has.

He is being given his chance now and unless he proves that he has the head for the big stage, no amount of natural ability or talent will make him first choice.

lovely play by berba,nani,park and Rooney for the shot

Well that didn't take long.

Yay.

dreadful

That_Guy

Nani - The good, the bad and the ugly.

MagicMarker

Owen to come on and score the winner.

(I'm going to say this a lot this season)

Aidric

Pathetic goal to concede.

ccosgrave

Not really that much more Foster could have done, really. I hope people don't blame him for the goal.

I'd be blaming Nani for that, now he is someone who is never good enough for a United starting place imo.

Soby

Get in!!!!:D

I think the general consensus say Nani.

Chong

Nice one here comes valencia

HashSlinging

Great game, nani WTF he's like a paper bag. 1st bit of rough and he's gone.

you aren't allowed to tackle from behind.

Valencia making a nuisance of himself. Ballack on. Good choice I think in taking Mikel off. Hasn't been great.

you are. the rule was changed. It no longer says you can't tackle from behind, you can't make a tackle that seriously endangers an opponent

MagicMarker

This is the best stream I've found so far if anyone is interested.

Nani fùckin walking off with a sore shoulder.. WTF?! The guy's continuous lack of guts and toughness is his biggest problem imo.

That_Guy

Nice little bit of skill from Berbatov there. He really is a class act at times. He just needs to work that bit harder in competing for the ball.

He should stick on the hurling when he's in the dressing room to see what real men are like, watchin the two games here and have to say the Hurling is amazing.
