Rooney has been quite good in my opinion. but the point is we had other options we could have used in midfield apart from rooney, but falcao leading our line should not have happened in this match.
we had alternatives to rooney in midfield but no alternative to him in attack. RVP is obviously not fit to start a match and Falcao is just not fit to do anything.

Who should have taken rooney's place in midfield?

You can argue that wasn't a penalty, but no way can you say it was a dive. Herrera had no obligation to avoid Cahill's over eager challenge

Man u just dashed them 3 cheap points. Why bring in di maria and januzaj. LVG made useless decisions, mourinho keeps beating him. Mourinho is a disgrace always parking the bus even with stars on the bench.

You saw my line ups before the match.

1)Valencia could have gone there and Rafael at RB

2) Rafael could have played there with Valencia at RB

3) Young could have played there

4) Even Fellaini could have played there with Di Maria at LCM

5) If push came to shove McNair could have played DM, Blackett at LCB and Herera at RCM(where rooney played).

You can't just have the player with the poorest form in the team being the lone striker. Falcao's form is probably the poorest in the team NO REASON TO THINK HE WOULD JUST CLICK AGAINST A SEASONED DEFENSE WHEN MOI MOI DEFENSES SHUT HIM DOWN.

I hate it when person go carry ball from our half chop space in front of him and after advancing into the opponents half will turn round and pass backwards.

WTF is that?

it was no dive....
mike dean is a lunatic. he's the type of referee that favours faces. if that was gerrard, lampard or kane getting tackled by cahill, he woulda given it.

i am not surprised with jose's tactics. he always finds a way. the best way to destroy jose's tactics is by taking your chance. rooney missed a sitter & once they went ahead, there was no looking back.

januzaj should retire. he lacks football brain. rooney's sideways passing didn't help one jot. against a side who were happy to sit deep and defend, we lacked the incisive passing of carrick & blind. rooney failed in his role today in a woeful fashion.

So how would you describe that if its not a dive? Herrera purposely left his leg in there for the contact to deceive the ref with his theatrical fall.

It was a nice try!

Chelsea won, but it was a good performance from the lad except Falcao who just keeps falling down like moi moi. it's not easy playing without your 4 regulars that has formed an understanding with each other against the league leaders at their home ground, it's always going to be difficult. Onward and upward to the next one. Haters it's your day, you can have the floor.

Rooney was always gonna be our best bet in midfield - the fact that he did pretty well there is a testament to that effect.

The only issue was falcao starting... Maybe LVG should have risked RVP just like he did with shaw ( shaw played well).

LVG had the option to bring RVP in but we all saw how moronic his decisions were.

And Cahill also left his leg in the way to impede Herrera's run towards the ball.

i don't think we did enough with the ball. we had a lion share of it & we didn't punish courtois enough. mcnair & shaw were the only fearless players on the pitch. they took good positions and they fired shots at chelsea's goal.

mourinho parked the bus - that was what he wanted. he didn't have the players to compete with us for the passes. he was happy to let us have the ball, it was like he knew we wouldn't do much with it with the kinda players we had on the pitch.

the stats say it all....we got sucker-punched!

Jose Mourinho? I have nothing to say. He is simply a big coward. He keep employing 19th century football tactics when playing against big team and people call him a world-class coach. Smh.

we knew this was what he would do as at last week. an early goal from us would have destroyed his plan - with him needing to make an early sub but it's our fault we didn't capitalise in that first 15 mins when we had them by the throat.

he just said in his post match interview that he doesn't care about the possession of the purity even if it's 1% possession they have. it's all about the 3 points and the players who could have made the difference for us today decided to get crocked.

You are not getting my point.
For this match Rooney was our best best in midfield and also our best bet in attack.

However the gap in quality between Rooney and the other midfielders at this moment is not up to the gap between Rooney and Falcao.
Whatever advantage Rooney gave us in midfield we lost it TENFOLD by playing Falcao in attack.
We should have gotten a decent alternative to Rooney (like those guys i mentioned) in midfield and played him in attack instead of playing him in midfield and playing an otu oshi like Falcao in attack.
Obviously RVP is not yet fit to start, LVG alluded to this yesterday in his conference, Shaw was ahead of him in fitness and training.
