Feeling less positive now, we will basically be fully reliant on Di Maria as I don't expect Januzaj and van Persie to produce much in their current form.

I think that's a case of people seeing what they want to see personally. At the end of the day van Persie's scored more goals.
It's not a win win if he's injured or unfit regularly, as well as letting Welbeck go in the process. Still early days for him though so hopefully he gets going soon.It was probably Jones who injured Falcao in training...we all know what he's like.were fooked
It is in the fact that we didn't buy him.
I think he had cold knees.As if Falcao being out is the reason we shouldn't stand a chance
FFS some of the posts on here are already embarrassing, when did RVP become the villain in all this.
I agree, however RVP has looked a shadow of his former self, we are probably expecting to much from him. Saying that the only way to get his form back is to play him.
True, but that isn't saying much. Di Maria is far more key for me.feck sake
Sorry, i got upset - RVP looks poor & Rooney suspended. Falcao looked good everytime he played for us
"Mourinho had not long retired from playing, and managed to talk himself into a job at Barcelona. He was Mr. Van Gaal's personal translator. It went to his head, he'd go around thinking he was assistant manager, taking notes and pointing things out to the boss" recounts Rivaldo.
"He didn't have any real authority, but he'd follow the boss around like a leech, a protege. Whenever the boss punished you, Jose would just stand and nod his head disapprovingly at you. Nobody at the club liked him, he didn't have any authority - he was just there to translate the 4-5 different languages to Van Gaal, but every day at training he'd act like he was the man. Barjuan Sergi once struck a football 40 yards into the back of his head and he cried, everyone laughed"
*Rivaldo quotes may be a complete lie made up by me.
Wtf.I'm not looking forward to this if I'm honest. Chelsea are probably the in form club in the PL right now and we're far from being a complete team.Any word on Costa yet?Falcao's lack of availability is getting blown out of proportion to a point, but I think it just shows the lack of faith and confidence people have in RVP at the moment. It feels daft to say maybe this is the game where he starts looking like his old self.to be honest, it won't be a disgrace to lose to Chelsea at the moment, they are steaming it at the moment, plus have had a good year getting the right balance to the team.
Nope. Rumoured to be out as a young izzy brown was pictured with the squad. But could easily be filling Remy's slot. So much bs flying around
I always considered Wilson to be Welbeck's replacement. Falcao for Chich.
We don't really need any word on Costa to be honest, there's no doubt he will play today.Losing to the very likely champions really isn't anything to be ashamed of, I think it's just the simple fact of dropping even more points.2012-13 Chelsea started with a 7 wins and a draw out of eight games. Then came the match against the mighty Manchester United.
I already see the three points in the bag.Can't have been Jones, he's so fragile that with any physical contact in training and he would have also been injured.Herrera and Di Maria were confirmed as fit by LvG in the press conference.
I went for this lineup in the game.
DDG
Rafael-Jones-Rojo-Shaw
Herrera-Blind-Adm
Mata
Fellaini
RVP
Think it'll be something likethis. Fellaini will start 100%With Falcao and Rooney out of the game, I don't see any chances of us winning. Falcao has an amazing record against Chelsea and he was my only hope. Now we don't have any lethal strikers.No Falcao means Mata and RvP starting and that means we're carrying two passengers against a team like Chelsea. Don't have much hope for this now.38 mins for the teams to be announced.I'll take a draw right now...There's my confidence for ya! In all seriousness RVP is still a classy finisher, and he's not as bad as everyone is making out!
Not a prediction.Have faith cuntos.I'm going to go out on a crazy limb and say RvP will have a good game today.If Mata starts I just hope he actually works hard and gets stuck in, something he's just not even looked like doing once this season.Have the clocks changed in UK? Thought this game was at 11am (ET USA)2012-13 Chelsea started with a 7 wins and a draw out of eight games. Then came the match against the mighty Manchester United.
I already see the three points in the bag.
I like it, I like it. We need more posts like this in here.
Yes, back an hour.
Yup, clocks went back this morning 1 hr
Yeah, they went an hour back last night.Maybe if we ask them nicely renties will forfeit the match. Judging by this thread we might as well not turn up.
They are showing the highlights of that match on my tele right now.2012-13 Chelsea started with a 7 wins and a draw out of eight games. Then came the match against the mighty Manchester United.
I already see the three points in the bag.
Cheers. And damn!- Status
