Manchester United vs Chelsea - Sunday, 5 August 2007 (1500 BST)

[VanNistelrater]

, Brown was out of position when Cashley punted the ball NOT sure if Ronaldo's pressure would've worked.

Just thought Ronnie stood there and Cole had a lot of time to pick his pass.

Cant believe Rio was outmuscled there though. Bit poor.

Anyway, enjoyable game thus far. There's a sharpness to some of our play which in the circumstance is encouraging.

 

[BlahRules]

Bit of a wrestling match between Rio and Malouda in the box.Malouda won.

Rio looks big and strong but he always gets thrown around by little kids, FFS

 

[Smash-E]

whose fault was the Malouda goal?

brown got caught ball watching and lost his man, Rio wrestled with a strong Malouda and lost out.

 

[Shotgun raisin]

whose fault was the Malouda goal?

Malouda was being marked too closely by Brown. He played a one-two and Brown was too slow to react. Rio could have done better too, but I'd look at Brown's mistake first.

 

[afrocentricity]

why have Sky put the score box in the bottom left corner?

looks awful

YOU'LL GET USED TO IT ...

 

[mehro]

the ppstream one i've got going is pretty good... just got it running to see Chelsea score...

What channel on ppstream?

 

[afrocentricity]

Better they get the shit calls done with while the game means nothing. Maybe, the refs watching this will be more careful with their calls against us.

doubt it ...

 

[vanthaman]

Bring Nani on for Silvestre ffs

 

[viiinz]

Evra is class. having a great game. great work setting up the goal.

IMO he should be used more as a left-midfielder then a left back.

 

[soulblight3r]

stadium looks empty

 

[ILBB15]

Evra makes a class play again.

 

[Justin]

Ronaldo, another good save by Cech

 

[vanthaman]

so close

 

[Champions4ever]

Silvestre gets easily dribbled past by Shaun Wright Phillips & Ferdinand should have just kicked the ball out of the park when he had a chance against Malouda. If it was Vidic he would have kept it simple and got the ball out of the area. For some reason I thought Chelsea are tiring as the half went on.

 

[afrocentricity]

any subs?

Malouda was being marked too closely by Brown. He played a one-two and Brown was too slow to react. Rio could have done better too, but I'd look at Brown's mistake first.

I think he is the most overrated player in the Premiership. We should get rid of him and invest in someone to eventually replace Gary.

[Eto'odinho]

Thanks Van. Some guys must be eating their words over what they said about O`Shea earlier in this thread

 

[Justin]

Ronaldo straight to Cech, what is he trying to shoot from that angle?

 

[Smash-E]

Ben Haim yellow. Great burst by Evra again

carvalho..

 

[vanthaman]

Evra is playing left back, left midfield and left striker at the moment,

 

[manufanatic]
