This has been a really fun match to watch, but as a I pull for Chelsea among English clubs, it was hard to stomach. It really should be a one goal game now as the first goal by United was offside, and Rooney's PK miss and Torres open goal miss cancel each other out.
United are the better team, but it really should have been a draw. Chelsea had plenty of chances. As the Blues gel under AVB they will get better. Mata is going to add so much to that team as he settles.
Our defence looks shaky whenever he starts Bosingwa and Ivanovic as cb, I know Bosingwa offers more going forward but I would have started Luiz and Ivanovic as RB.
have my doubts about that as I think Italy would be too tactical and defensively ordered for a player like Torres ... still, he is a lot better than what he is showing at Chelsea so far as he just seems out of place in that team.
Ramires is a similar story - he is better than how he is doing at Chelski.
Both players would benefit a lot if they were to change teams.
He's in awful form right now and just doesn't look like he's enjoying his football (even before the misses), but I would still take him over any of our strikers.
