I don't understand how some people here are saying United played a bad game?

Tactically Fergie played the game the way it was supposed to be played. He had a makeshift backline playing against arguably the strongest forward duo in Europe this season. So he played 3 DM's, he also had Valencia tracking Cole all game and not giving him the space to go forward and provide the width Chelsea needed so much.

United stifled Chelsea's midfield and starved Drogba from getting service. They even had a couple of good opportunities. Anderson played a great game once again against one of the big four(Probably the only time he bothers to show up) and really gave Essien a run for his money.

They gave away too many fouls close to their area though, for that they should be blamed. But truth be said, Chelsea's goal was offside.

Overall United played a better game imo.

Me too, i was expecting Drogba and Anelka to rip them a new one. But they were completely starved from service. Anelka had to come deep to get a hold of the ball and he isn't really influential coming from deep, he needs to be in the final third.

I was also expecting a more rampant Chelsea, Fergie did what he had to with a defensive lineup

Fuck the both of you for praising manure:stuckup: Im gonna have a blast having a go at the utd fans tomorrow.:D
I am not praising manure, I hate them and was glad to see Chelsea won, I was simply defending Fergie because he made the right decision in playing a more defensive game

I'm watching a re run of the Chelsea vs Man U game and I notice the funniest shit.

When Kalou is getting ready to come in for Drogba, in the stands behind Kalou, you could see a black fan with a beard and sunglasses brushing his teeth! :lol:
