José Mourinho avoided defeat on his return to
Old Trafford as Chelsea secured a goalless draw
against Manchester United on Monday night.
Chelsea captain John Terry managed to keep
United’s prolific Robin van Persie quiet, while the
Blues failed to really test David De Gea without a
recognised striker.
Here is a selection of the best Twitter reaction from
the professionals, past and present, to a
disappointing goalless draw between the Premier
League’s two most successful clubs.
Norwich City defender Iwan Roberts (@
iwanwroberts) is impressed by Old Trafford’s
ovation for their new boss: “Great reception for
David Moyes.”
Former West Ham striker Dean Ashton (@
Dean36ashton10) is even more impressed with
the manager’s shoes: “Anyone clocked Moyes and
his Patrick Swayze shoes!!!? #rascal”
One of England’s Ashes heroes and Chelsea fan
Kevin Pietersen (@KP24) is hoping Rooney is
still Stamford Bridge-bound: “It looks like Rooney
wants to impress JM tonight.. He clearly wants to be
our #1 striker at @chelseafc next week! #boom”
England legend Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker)
isn’t a fan of the false number nine – for
obvious reasons: “Fascinating to see Mourinho go
with the false nine system. Never seen any of his
sides line up this way. Clearly doesn’t rate his
strikers.”
Former England cricket captain Michael
Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) keeps us
entertained amid some dour football: “To save
on travel expenses Rooney might as well go back on
the Chelsea bus…..”
Manchester City defender Micah Richards (@
MicahRichards) looks up the a United legend:
“@rioferdy5 makes football look so easy! #
differentclas”
Preston North End striker Kevin Davies (@
Kevin__Davies) isn’t enjoying the stalemate:
“Looking like both teams don’t want to lose their
unbeaten record so far!”
Former Manchester United youth graduate
Robbie Savage (@RobbieSavage8) heaps
praise on Rooney: “Rooney best player on pitch,
can he sustain it for 90 mins?”
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann (@
DietmarHamann) can’t believe England have
not shown United’s No16 more love: “Carrick is
in a different league,how he not got a lot more caps
for England I will never know.”
Former Spurs chairman Lord Sugar (@Lord_
Sugar) is not impressed by Ashley Cole’s
attempts at winning a penalty: “Cole – what a
cheat. British Olympic diving squad.”
Ex-Fulham striker Brian McBride (@
BMcBride20) is wondering if a new tradition
could be about to start: “Moyesy time?”
Former Sunderland midfielder Michael Gray (@
mickygray33) hails United’s number 10: “If
Rooney hasn’t proven tonight he is still a top player
and very much needed at United then we are all
mistaken..!!! #topperformance”
QPR defender Danny Simpson (@
dannysimpson) is surprised the game finished
in a goalless draw: “Don’t think many people
would have predicted that result tonight #LetDown”
Simpson’s team-mate Shaun Wright-Phillips (@
swp29) lavishes praise on his former England
colleague: “@WayneRooney man of the match for
me.”
Ex-United defender Mikael Silvestre (@
IamMSilvestre) felt Frank Lampard should have
been penalised for a handball in the draw:
“Penalty all day long! #MUFC”
United defender Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) is
pleased to keep Chelsea out on a landmark
performance: “A clean sheet on my 300th Premier
League appearance for Man Utd, would have liked a
win but a draw was probably a fair result.”
Ex-Red Devils forward Michael Owen (@
themichaelowen) joins in with praise for
Rooney: “Not the greatest of games. Mourinho
didn’t fancy losing that one. @WayneRooney showed
a great attitude.”
Finally, Wimbledon champion Andy Murray (@
andy_murray) is impressed by Petr Cech’s
clean sheet record: ‘RT “@adidasUK: Well played
Petr Cech. 200 clean sheets as a @chelseafc player!

stat!”

The Funny thing about last nights Match is we expected a lot of Goals and fantasy Football Managers had placed their hopes on the strikers and midfielders delivering Goals for their respective Fantasy Football teams on LoveFootball Fantasy football Team.

Hence if you had Rooney, Torres, RVP , Hazard, Wellbeck and other on your lovefootball fantasy team you would have been very disappointed to find out that you did not earn any points from last Nights Goalless situation.

You would have only gained points if you had either DeGea and Cech in goal. They would have scored you 7 points each and if you had them has you captain... you would have scored 14 points. OUCH!

Let the excitement continue... www.lovefootballfc.com.
