Shaw very good so farRegardless of what happens in this game, i'm incredibly impressed with how we're playing today and the balls of this team right now.Mourinho getting schooled by his old bossVery impressed thus far with Herrera's defensive display.Beautiful football so far.Silky stuff from Valencia.20 min
United get into the box down the left again but this time Fellaini's cross is too high and out for a goal-kick.Bring on RvP for Falcao. Falcao has been useless.great build upUnlucky there. Approach play is great so far.Great start, though we need to start converting this spell to a goal before Chelsea wake up.Falcao has been invisible, we are controlling the game so I would expect him to be making runs and getting on the end of things.Long way to go but it's hard not to dish out all sorts of praise right now.That Fellaini cross though.philosphy....> injuries..........
Valencia having a stormer so far.Good movement from Falcao but no one's finding him right now.
Merson earlier on compared Carrick with Barry and I thought that was bad but comparing Carrick with Craig Noone might just be worse.Fantastic work from ValenciaValencia has really been a solid player for us
What, you don't think Chelsea will look for a counter/set piece goal? That was their plan as they knew they couldn't control the game for a full 90We have lot of space, especially through the middle. We need to take advantage of this.
I have it on Channel 6 WYVJ6 what ever that isWe've started this match really well considering our injuries. If we weren't playing Chelsea my nerves would have been calmed by now but we just never seem to have any luck when we play them.
I see Hererra exerting a lot of control, communicating and signaling the other players, dropping deep, just filling that role so nicely so far.
You probably thought the same of Rooney last week?21 min
66% possession for United so far. They're well on top but need to make hay while the sun shines and score a goal...Would settle for a fairly dull 0-0.
You seriously think that Mourinho put out this team to let us have possession and catch us on the break with our speed? He did it to flood midfield and keep possession … it's not working. Hence my statement
This. It has been a great start in terms of possession, but we'll struggle to score with Falcao up front I thinkWe're playing so well.
Couldn't agree more! Even if we lose today, our approach and the fact that we are actually capable of implementing it is not only fitting of a big club but means that we will win much more often than not.Why is Rooney holding now? Herrera's been magnificent there.Someone please help me. NBC is showing college football.22 min
Fellaini battles with Ivanovic at the far post, he tackles the big defender but his cross is cleared by Cahill.Fellaini is no winger, that is for sure.Come on Fellaini! Need to do better.The way Fellaini won that back was strong-octopus likeValencia looking good again.Falcao looks a lot better, even in his general play.Falcao has beautiful hairFellani with a left foot now would be amazing- Status
