That's the main thing we can and should take away from this match and season. Massive improvement and progress. Now we need to push on make the right signings this summer for a title challenge next season. |

SailorXY: I don't understand... Playing Rooney as cf with Rafael and Valencia as central midfielders - how would this have given us any penetration? Despite the fact that falcao was piss-poor today, can you really blame falcao for our lack of penetration?? From a creative point of view, wasn't Rooney was even better than the largely anonymous mata ( who was supposed to be a focal point in our attacking buildups)? |

Dadehmola:first of i don't believe Falcao was "piss-poor". could he have been better involved? definitely - but same can be said of Young, same can be said of Valencia, same can be said of Rooney. Falcao was fielded largely on the basis of pedigree! he hasn't done much this season but again it would have been an "insult" starting a Wilson over him @ this stage. he hasn't grabbed his chance & no eyebrows can be raised if he is released now. the midfield i proposed was Mata - Valencia - Herrera - Fellaini - Young which i believe will give a performance no different than what we witnessed but with better presence in Rooney upfront. it was a good performance. we came to play @ Stamford Bridge, Chelshit defended from the first minute. they played the way they know how to, we played our way - in the end we can reflect on how far we've come as a team after last season's collapse irrespective of what the other EPL fans think, its is crystal United will operate on a whole new level next season. |

afrodoc2: It's hindsight analysis because you want us to believe that we wouldn't have lost with Rafael and Valencia in CMF afrodoc2:And how would it have been more dynamic with the likes of Rafael and Valencia in CMF, coupled with a Juan mata who was always gonna be anonymous in "powerful" games like this?? ( like we saw today ) afrodoc2: With the injuries we had,starting him wasn't too bad an idea - keeping him on the pitch for 90mins is the issue!! |

coogar: Not far away from what title? What is this brother sniffing on? Coogar i have told you several times, stop fu...cking smoking tree roots 10 points is massive bro.... There is nothing like you are close It is akin to having an extra 3 wins and 1 draw, that means playing 4 more games than the team with the 10 points advantage I hope you won't add the likes of Falcao in the summer |

The match was well poised for a boring draw, but Hazard's brilliance handed Chelsea all the three points. What will Chelsea and Mourinho do without Hazard! |

* Balance: The ability to maintain balance after a physical challenge. - FIFA definition. elampiro: elampiro: Ayagayagayagayo hei, ayagayagayagayo Did I not say Robben has the most power among footballers? And I said Sanchez is probably the next person that comes close in the EPL. Now we know who really knows football. Yori Yori. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:03am On Apr 19, 2015 |
I think many guys here did not play real football- competitive football. That's why they base their argument on abstracts, how they think it should be. Where as it's not like that at all. When you have played competitive football over a reasonable years, you get to know different qualities and components of players who come and go in the teams you have trained and played for, the opponents, etc. You will be surprised to see an 'achinia' (a thin) player who does push ups, frog jumps, many energetic stuff higher and faster than another team mates who looks herculean. These things usually reflect in the sprints, agility, balance of players, etc. You will be surprised to see a muscle player who is lazy in virtually everything on the football field. Size and physique has nothing to do with power in the football field. Look at Ramires physical stats, he has power more than Rooney and Jones. So when we say pace and power, we are looking at a player like Sanchez, Ramires before a player like Rooney. I remember how much I used Oshoala to describe. Pace power doesnt mean absence of skills, like Oshoala who has everything going for her. ....CR7 is another king of pace and power. I have made my point far enough since three days ago. 1 Like |

I have been impressed with LVG as the season progressed. We are not there yet but we are very,very near. Every player in the squad appears to understand the fact that we need to keep possession at all times and maintain the balance of the team. Who ever is being brought in should be done quickly so that the team jells before the start of the next season in August. Chelsea played as they usually play against a top team-parking the bus and hitting on the counter. They were lucky last night. They will not be so lucky next season. |

sirlaw2: he's an illiterate. how can anyone think i was referring to this season after i said a couple of additions would take us to the title is baffling. elf has the IQ of a culex mosquito. elampiro: so robben & rooney have more power than yaya toure? you know nothing about football. balance isn't power - some players cannot be easily knocked off the ball because they are very agile & skilful when in possession. it's got little to do with strength! agility has much more to do with balance than strength. |
