Chelsea vs Manchester United Match Thread. k/o 16.00 Sky.

Moyes to pick a conservative team including Giggs, Chelsea tear through us in first 10 minutes 2-0 up, United score after 30 minutes against the run of play, defensive error letting Wellbeck in, after half time Moyes changes things and United play better but get caught on the break 3-1... United pile on the pressure, a lot of honest endeavour, but no end result because we've no finishers, Chelsea get late goal 4-1 final score...

Essien

Here's hoping for Chelsea's most controversial 3 points in a long time.

Any Utd supporters who believe in their team really should have a punt - they are 4/1 which is a massive price for Utd in the PL.

I don't believe in this team at the minute, even less so every time I see Moyes has picked Valencia/Giggs/Cleverley yet again, but Manchester United are 9/2 on Betfair right this minute. Crazy odds, so they are getting my money today.

GavRedKing

Cautiosly optimistic is how id describe my mood today.

3-1 Chelsea

supersean1999

Ill be daft or brave after reading All The post but Ill Pop 10e on 1-1. Have a sneaky feeling utd will Score and Chelsea will find it hard to break utd down. A Champions League away perforance from utd playing on The break. Welbecks pace to catch Terry or cahill out at some stage. Id never be as Happy to get a Draw

Shanotheslayer

Chelsea win. Hazard anytime.

Whatsisname

Welbeck first scorer, 2-1/1-0, 75/1, yes please

That reminds me, a game similar to that in August would be great.:pac:

1.67euro spent wisely on 4-2 to Chelsea with Torres to score first @225/1.
Comes in at over 300euro.
Or as I'm calling it, Feb's rent.

Utd 5-0 500-1 and utd 10-0 500/1 With pp. Where is The value These days

Cantona's Collars

At least the story of Rafael being injured was wrong,BBC made a mistake and mixed him up with Fabio.

Vertigo100

No kagawa.

Professional Griefer

booooo Chelsea

Rayne Wooney

Any word of teams?

Vertigo100

Young and jones start

Professey Chin

I have a bad feeling looking at that team

Vertigo100

@CraigNorwood: Team vs Chelsea: De Gea, Rafael, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Valencia, Jones, Carrick, Young, Januzaj, Welbeck

Rayne Wooney

Really should have Kagawa in there

Essien

Where's Chicharito? As a Chelsea fan that fella scares the sh1te out of me

Moyes doesn't trust Jan or Kags to do the tracking on the left.

MaroonAndGreen

Etoo starts ahead of Torres

Fair point.

Though is Young considerably better at tracking back? So much to warrant not going with a far better Jan/Kagawa combination?

It looks like negativity again from Moyes, but away against Chelsea I don't really blame him

Talib Fiasco

The state of United's team holy sh*t.

NUTZZ

Chelsea: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, David Luiz; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Eto’o
Subs: Schwarzer, Cole, Mikel, Matic, Lampard, Mata, Torres.

Manchester United: De Gea; Rafael, Evans, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Jones, Young; Januzaj; Welbeck.
Subs: Lindegaard, Giggs, Smalling, Hernandez, Cleverley, Fletcher, Kagawa

Dempsey

Not playing Kagawa behind Welbeck is an epic fail by Moyes

adox

Young and Valencia both start and no place for Kagawa?

The end really can't come for Moyes soon enough.

No, Fletcher and Kagawa should feel very hard done by.

JRant

Yet again Moyes changes his centre-back and midfield. No wonder there is no consistency in the performances.

Nolars

He obviously didn't learn in the last game when he switched Jan and Kags. To much chopping and changing.

Silly comment.

Honestly, Kags played great behind the striker last week and Januzaj was more effective from the left. Why **** with that?

It just takes away all the good we saw in the last game, and promotes the endless crossing that has us 7th in the table.

Talib Fiasco

Kagawa and Fletcher would be slight improvements to the team but it's still a shocking team to take to the Bridge.

Call Me Jimmy

Mad ted. At least I don't have to watch Cleverly fumble around and **** it up (Good Will Hunting reference :cool:)

MaroonAndGreen

As a Chelsea fan, I fear that United's inevitable backlash may start today.

So confident, but quite wary all the same.

Because he thinks he has to be like Fergie and constantly tinker with the team.

Cantona's Collars

Valencia should be nowhere near that team,the Chelsea fullback will need new shinguards by the end of the game after Val is done smashing the ball off his legs time & again.

Young did ok from the right,it stops him cutting in & over hitting balls.Januzaj on the left would keep Chelsea occupied and as a result stop them over-running Evra,that set up would also leave room for Kags in behind Wellbeck.

supersean1999

Jesus Ya cant Win With some of Ye. What has kagawa Done bar 30 mins against swansea to deserve a starting place. He has Been in crap form in most Games. Its quiet clear The team is picked With hard working wingers Who Can defend and try and counter attack. We are Not strong enough in center mid and defence to go toe to toe at Chelsea.

If I was a Chelsea fan I wouldn't be to concerned about playing that Utd team.

Cant wait to see Januzaj trying to tackle Ramires & David Luiz!

BNMC

Not liking that United team at all. Would much rather see Kagawa in place of Young.

Interesting stat: United haven't lost in their last 7 away EPL games, 5 wins and 2 draws.

1-1. Januzaj and Hazard.

supersean1999

I Dont like Valencia but i Can unterstand Why he is picked. Same With young. They will work there ass off away from home against a team in better form.

He provides the only shred of creativity and ambition in the team bar Januzaj and Rooney. Having wingers who will track is all well and good but they won't contribute much going forward. I hate picking a team purely to negate the opposition.

Time to get positioned behind the couch
