What are your thoughts/predictions on these games,

I was a bit surprised with Mourinhos decision to "rest" Robbyn,Duff,Cech,Ferreira and CARVALHO
It is just stupid that he wouldnt give carvalho a chance.

Any working streams for Man U game?

therecklessone

Any steams for the Blackburn-Spurs game?

Can't believe Jol has left Defoe, Davids and Carrick on the bench tonight. maybe Davids needed a break, but the other two are on fire at the moment.He better know what he's doing!

Chelsea have made 6 changes so Spurs are not alone.

Chel 1-0 WBA
Arsnl 0-1 Ful

As I predicted, Essien in the team means Lampard will score. Jivin Turkey gave me stick for saying Lampard was brutal as a CM.

jank

Come on arsenal for **** sake

Arsnl 1-1 Ful

Channel 5 has to be the worst tv station for covering football. its crap.

So because Lampard scores when Essien is in the team that makes him a brutal CM? Im afraid I dont have a degree in illogicality so I dont understand.

Lampard played the majority of the second half of last season as a CM with Gudjohnsen in the team. He was far from brutal. If my memory serves me right he won player of the year. The season before he played as a CM in a midfield two of himself and Makelele, again he was far from brutal.

Jivin Turkey

Gary Neville off for United after 13mins. Any news on an injury or was it just precautionary?

jank

Cygan by all people, crossed in by bergkamp.

He didn't pull the flag out of the linesman's hand. He flicked his hand through it, bloody ridiculous to get a yellow card for it.

He janked it out of his hands and fell to the ground.

Pepe LeFrits

no he didn't.

2-0 united, Heinze strikes again

jubbly

Miller on.

PHB

Heinze with a brace, what a quality player
Van Nist is getting man handled by the defenders, and they can't play the ball into his feet cause the pitch is bouncy. And he getting absolutely no service whatsoever, really bad service.
He is looking pissed off, lets hope he can keep his discipline.
UNited tbh have played **** tonight, but I suppose what can you expect.

That said, we never ever ever ever ****ing score from corners. For the whole season of 2003/2004 we didn't score a corner.
Last year I think we scored two.
This is a nice sign

When you see it from the other angle, you'll realise that he did.

good goal by richerson there.

PHB

Holy ****, what a goal from Richardson.
You legend.
Thats how you get into the United team!

3-0 United, Richardson, quality strike

Lampard was an AMC whenever he played until Gudjohnson got moved to midfield. Sometimes he would come back to collect the ball but then again, so does Ronaldinho. I would say Gerrard is playing AMC at the moment for Liverpool but I always thought of him as a box to box midfielder. Scholes has always been an AMC even though he played in a midfield of just 2 in the centre. When Lampard was nominated for the FIFA team of the year he was under attacking midfielder. Not central midfielder which Beckham was nominated under at the time. He has since played a few games in the central midfield role and hasn't really impressed me (he plays there for England and I've never seen him play well for them, I haven't seen many of their games though).

Chelsea always played 3 in the centre. 1 DMC, 1 MC and 1 AMC. Makelele was always the DMC. For most of the season Lampard was the AMC and Tiago was the MC. When Guddy got into the team he played AMC and Lampard played MC.

Lampard and Gudjohnsen played in midfield 8 times last seasm. Chelsea condeded 10 goals in those 8 games which is unlike Chelsea.

Essien now comes in and plays the Tiago role allowing Lampard to move up into a more forward role.

The reason I think he's not good in central midfield and the reason I mentioned the goals conceded stat is because Lampard is not a tackler. One of the main attributes you should have ticked as a central midfielder is tackling. He's an AMC, end of.

Ars 2-1 Ful, Henry

PHB

Four United players have gone off injured tonight.
Bardsley is playing on.
I think Richardson is off for good, seems like it.

Where'd you get the source for 4-5 weeks for Neville?

moshpit77

Hopefully that'll break Henry's duck, he's been off form so far this season

Pepe LeFrits

Awww yeah. Typical Henry goal, terrific pass by Reyes.

Apparently the guy who does the commentary on the Matchtracker on manutd.com spoke to Fergie at Half-time.

He scored against Newcastle.

PHB

But he didn't score against Chelsea.
Not scoring in a match is a drought for Henry :P

What is happening to the league leaders?
Jol bring Defoe and mido on, play Keane deeper.

(and I thought they might mount a threat to chelsea)
