Chelsea are playing quite a dangerous game. . . . . . the wing-backs move far up squeezing Bolton back, the center backs spread out very wide too ala FCB but the problem is when they lose the ball Mereiles, Lampard and Ramires do not fall back fast enough.
Way too much gap down the middle that Bolton can exploit!

its okay oh

do we have a chance of beating Liverpool?

i hope EVans isnt gonna play against Suarez

As long as we don't show up with ragged approach of the last two performances. . .we have a glimmer ~ but frankly, i am not very optimistic!

toba:
smh. she did even update the score to 2 nil. she went for independence day party

Which one . . . . .surely not naija's ~ she no qualify to enter!

Away to Athletico Madrid - big one!

As far as me am concerned ~ every single game we've seen post-Cleverly na wash-wash!

montelik:
If Welbeck continues this way, its time for Owen and Berba, even Chica to start worrying.

I sorry, sorry. . . . . .at the end of the day, we're still going to revert to Rooney+Berbatov!

Lets not bamboozle ourselves with plenty grammer. . . . .its plain for all to see; the midfield provides little cover for the defence.
Take for instance when FCB play - Alves spends half his playing in the opposition half, Abidal tries to follow suit, what happens. . . . . . .how do they try to regain shape!? Centre-backs fan out wide, defensive midfield drops into the hole in the middle. . . . . not a hundred percent fool-proof as we see every now and then but at least, you see an organized front, a decent enough attempt at defense.
Not so in our case, the opposition quite literally stroll through our midfield unchallenged and the defence is all at sea.
Lets see what the return of Vida brings to that defence. . . . but in truth, its the guys directly in front of that backline that should be doing extra to help out!

Probably the worst UTD match I'll ever see this year. . . . hopefully!

oliveira anderson - the soul of man utd!

God forbid!!!!

my quote referenced Bayern/Real

my initial post had nothing to do with this game


errm, what is wrong with this game?

we should have been 5-0 ahead?

This is football not volleyball

im sure Norwich came to the field with 11 players and a coach

If I cannot see anything encouraging against a side like Norwich, I wonder why you expect me to look forward to match ups against Euro heavyweights with any specter of optimism!

abeg who get authentic links to the game!?

odiaero:
Seriously, how did manunited won the game against chelsea with this they are playing?

even me sef. . . . i dey doubt!

My friend we are playing Norwich now - leave Real/Bayern/Whatever - talk about now; the performance so far, does it look any encouraging to you!?

hmmmmm!

the solution is simple. . . . take out park and hernandez - put in giggs and berbatov!

tkb417:
@Cristalz

the quote above is true

Well then in that case, we can look forward to another humiliating 90mins of chasing shadows again!

only 15mins. . . . & it doesn't look like we can score oh!

I like the way Howard is in constant communication with his defenders. . . . .where was that confidence and composure when he was at O.T

dayokanu:
EPL is a shame to the game. The refereeing is not up to par at all and the quality of football is such a shame

Another thing, How is Andy f***king Carroll worth bleeping 35m?

I have strong reasons to believe someone profitted underhand from the deal.

Its a scam, Has the potential to make Denilson to Betis and Torres to Chelsea seem like a bargain

Has the potential ~ in the light of what we've seen so far from Carroll, they were massive BARGAINS!!!

Roland17:
That's a wrong call referee, Rodwell won the ball.

total f*CUK up!

How on earth was that a RED!!!?

Tim Howard like efizi sha. . . . . . .na camou jersey the guy ju' for us oh

Well, i can certainly see a pattern in the play - route 1 to Fellaini on 1 side, Carroll on the other

All brawns. . . . . very little brains - more of a slugfest than a footie match

Arsene Wenger knew all about the talents of Luka Modric before Tottenham signed the Croatian midfielder.

The Gunners boss takes his Arsenal team to Tottenham on Sunday for a north London derby which doubles up as a celebration of his 15th anniversary in charge.

If Arsenal are to come away with anything they will need to contain the play-making talents of the man Tottenham refused to sell to Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea were not the first club to take an interest in Modric, though, and Wenger said: "We knew Modric before Tottenham knew him. We played against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League and he played in the same team as Eduardo against us.

"At the time we had (Cesc) Fabregas, not a bad player. But we were interested in Modric."

He added: "He is very mobile. I'm not surprised how well Modric has done, I knew he would do well."

As usual. . . . .I see, I no buy

Should ba a straightforward 4-0 win

Me thinks. . . Valencia should just be put at right-back till further notice; Giggs, Nani, Park, and Young are more than enough for the wing positions. Evra can have Smalling and Evans as company for his left-back slot. Giggs should always play wide, ALWAYS!
Those Da Silvas need serious cover. . .maybe Phil Jones should be moved further up to play central midfield, supplement for Carrick, Ando, Fletch and Cleverly.
I still favor a Berba+Rooney combo in attack, forget all this b*s about pace of the attack. We need ball players up there.

Point blank. . . . . .we need a defensive midfielder - someone who knows nothing but breaking up the opposition play; someone who if everybody bombs forward stays behind to cover!

Carrick is not it, Anderson definitely is not it. . . . .Park, Giggs, Fletcher - no!

Shiiiooor. See hype for that useless Welbeck boy.
Very soon dem go begin weigh am with CR7, Rooney & Messi.

Well. . . .no one ever tells that relatiosnhips are hard work mainly because the knowledge is better acquired and appreciated from experience; and not all experiences will be the same. . . . .slight similarities, yes but with different twists and turns - so at the end of the day, every individual will have his or her own story to tell.

Much, much, much to admire about this team. They play really good!

medjai:
Great game. Full of drama. 3 red cards, Banega missed from the spot.
Valencia should at least have gotten a point from the game.

There's always drama at Sevilla when Valencia, Villareal, Athletico Madrid, Villareal & Bilbao come visiting!



Far from vintage - but we are still unbeaten and still hovering just beneath the top. . . .signs of a return to the glory days!!?

@ Home, we seem to have some kinda lucky charm or something - these other top sides; Valencia, Villareal, Athletico Madrid, Villareal, Bilbao rarely come to the Pizjuan and leave with any joy ~ we just have to extend the woe a bit to R.Madrid and Barca, start getting more maximum points away from home. . . . . and we'll be more resident, with some stability, in the top 5.
