Ferdinand normally stays back, and reads the game, thats his way of defending i see nothing wrong with that.

I believe you are underrating both Evra and Rio. The former being one of the top leftbacks in Europe, and is a better defender than he gets credit for, he leaves a lot of gaps behind, but when he's in position he's a tough defender to get past imo.

Rio is one of the best defenders in Europe, theres no doubting that if you ask me, he reads the game very well, he's a physical presence and is brilliant in the air. But Man Utd's defense isnt about individuals, imo Fergie has got them to be a very strong unit that is almost impossible to get past.
Perhaps, but I still reckon Ferdinand gets more credit than he deserves, when Vidic who puts himself on the line more than once, gets less than he deserves. Also, if you look at the set-pieces Vidic is more of a threat, he has four goals this season in comparison to Ferdinand's 1.. By saying Evra is Evra, was meant in a good way by the way haha ;)

If this is the Chelsea we are gonna play, then I say 'Bring 'em On'....
been saying that for weeks, they can have all the ball they want in the middle of the park, with no width they won't break us down

The best part is Scolari won't even start with Drogba... I think our defenders can manage Le Sulk... To be honest Scolari looked even more clueless than Ranieri yesterday... and I'm sure its not a one off... he's been doing the same for most of this season at Chelsea...

tbh i have seen chelsea quite a lot recently and they are so damned narrow, if you can keep their full-backs quiet then they are very one-dimensional. that said,our main strength has been through the middle but with Big Giorgio out injured it remains to be seen if we can keep that solidity through the middle

If we are back to the form we showed against Real then I don't think beating Chelsea will be as difficult as people around here make it out to be... If I had a chance to chose any of the EPL sides now, I'd certainly choose Chelsea...

Some creativity will come in the form of Tiago... and Molinaro is gonna have the game of his life when we bomb Stamford Bridge... Forza Molinaro...

The ruski passed the medical, and is done FOR ONCE. Like 30 minutes before the deadline. I mean seriously, how ridicolous is Arsenal in deals? :p
