I am, keys and gray are hard to listen to at half time, like listening to two drunk crazy oul lads in a pub.

Thought Val had a really good first half myself o_O

He works very hard but has been showing a serious lack of attacking quality for a long time, he's pretty much a defensive wing back at this stage

Kagawa for who?

Van Persie.:pac: Nah, Welbeck. Or Cleverly. Depending on how attack minded Moyes wants to be. I'd swap Welbeck.:)

MagicMarker

Chelsea need Mata and a striker.

I reckon he'll be happy to leave it as it is; I think they, United, are doing well and shouldn't change yet.

They call themselves the biggest sport network in the world. Odd that.

United with nearly 60% possession, Barca eat your heart out

Feck all good if you haven't someone like Kags on to unlock defence with a pass.

IvySlayer

Jesus Christ stop passing it backwards

Rayne Wooney

What the actual **** Valencia

bucketybuck

Oh **** off Valencia. You are inside the box, and still managed to stop dead before turning back and laying it back out. Utter tripe.

A simple smash in and around the 6 yard box would have sufficed.

He's been good defensively but going forward not so much.

In the past minute the balls been sent backwards 4 times from Valencia...

How slow are United in trying to counter Chelsea?

It seems to me that Moyes is terrified of losing this game and has set his team up accordingly.

I've given up, we play with 2 RBs, we'll just have to deal with it

Most timid performance from United at Old Trafford for a long time, Jose will be happy enough

double GG

Welbeck needed to be more selfish there.

Carrick has been very wasteful

True but so had everyone he's been very good at breaking up.

This game will be decided by the substitutions, methinks.

Or a header from a corner probably Terry for Chelsea.

Pepe LeFrits

Schurrle he can't stay on much longer...

Francie Barrett

Schurrle needs to come off, hasn't had much service, but he's lost in that position.

Red Crow

Dreadful from Welbeck

IvySlayer

You just know Chelsea will score a late goal

It's tough for them when Chelsea have no intention of trying to attack.

Your Airbag

Welbeck twice now

just give it to RVP

redzerdrog

id take de bruyne off and stick schurrle on the right

CastingCouch

Ah Danny That was great play all round.

Hank Scorpio

seriously lack of composure there

Notorious

Danny Welbeck trying a wild shot.

bucketybuck

Wellbeck just showed why people are concerned by his finishing...

His closing down/pressing has made me chuckle once or twice. Reminds me of my own lazy ass attempt.

Panthro

on the Torres.

double GG

He needed a good old toe poke there

Don't know if anyone has answered you yet, but they are on Sky for me the past year or so.

I don't know for sure, but always imagined it was to try and prevent people streaming it, the numbers are specific to your account.

Rayne Wooney

It's written in the stars for either a Rooney or Torres winner.

super_furry

Really surprised by Mourinho's lack of ambition. He's set Chelsea up like Tony Pulis' Stoke and so far they're delivering on that.

IvySlayer

Go away Valencia

That_Guy

Better. Though wouldn't be hard. The good and frustrating side of Valencia there.
