Good game - hard work to watch.

 

[Slevs]

So, today.

*at shooting.

 

[crappycraperson]

Looks like barca fans were right. Big game. No show by cesc.

 

[Drifter]

Not the tanking that some believed or hoped.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Is it just me or we had a very good 1st half?

I guess we wont loose 0-8 after all.

although he fluffed that shot matahas been very good,

special mention for fellaini too. very good performance.

 

[Bojan11]

Decent. But we also look like causing our own downfall.

 

[Needham]

If you're name ends with an ic and you play for Chelsea you're automatically an asshole

And if it ends in erry it means you ended your international career too soon

 

[LARulz]

Very good half. RVP should have scored, Mata should have had a better shot from the free kick and so should Di Maria at the start of the game when Mata played him through

 

[Irrational.]

We've done pretty well, better than expected.

 

[Shyftyy]

Smoke time! Hope LvG doesn't change tactics at half time this time

 

[Cassidy]

mata off herrera on please

 

[Dargonk]

Decent first half, both teams had some decent chances and it has been fairly even overall.

 

[El Zoido]

Not a penalty for me. Ivanovic has Smallings shirt as much as Smalling has hold of him.

 

[Revan]

Great game so far. We should have been one (or more) up if RVP, Mata and Di Maria haven't been so wasteful.

Adnan best player on the pitch.

De Gea and Courtuis are terrific keepers.

 

[Will Singh]

will do

but if di maria scores, he is all yours

I'd love for that to happen i

[Kakeru]

Halftime. So far, it looks like we have the best chances, but we have to make the most of them.

 

[bosnian_red]

Good half. Much the better side just not clinical. Mata really stepping up his game as well, good to see.

Januzaj has the beating of ivanovic.

 

[Virror]

herrera in for mata and we could take this...

 

[the hea]

Good first half from us Smalling, RVP, Januzaj and Fellaini has been the big positives.

 

[shamans]

Mata and his miss. And when he smiled about it!

 

[Tincanalley]

Somewhat odd tactical, game. Well played United, by no means out of it, still all to play for. Fellaini, Van Persie, Smalling, Adnan, de Gea did well. No one playing too badly in my humble.

 

[RetroStu]

I hope Van Gaal moves DiMaria inside, he's a bit wasted out wide (in this game anyway).

 

[Winrar]

Pretty good contest so far. Adnan and surprisingly enough Fellaini had a good half. Mata and RVP have been decent as well.

Again, I still feel Chelsea will nick it with fewer chances. Drogba could've easily put them front with that chance.

 

[Freak]

Mata and v.persie playing well. I'm abit worried about Rafael. He seems to have a stupid moment in him.

He is the Giflord.

 

[Dobba]

Giant Haystacks is having a poor game as ref.

 

[Ritish Talwar]

Excellent first half
Could have been 1-1
Just keep this up and a bit more precision in the final third in the second half
We can win this

 

[SalfordRed1960]

Very impressed with that half.

Chelsea may be able to go up a gear or two, but I feel we can.

If people can't see the difference of this team to last year's they have serious issues.

 

[Scrumpet]

I think Van Persie and Mata have been very good, finishing aside.

 

[Manchie]

I am impresse with the first half. Particularly the tachtic seems working with stoping Fagrigas bossing mf

 

[Rado_N]

Why is it when Courtois catches the ball is great goalkeeping but when DDG makes a very good improvised save from a good shot it's easy?

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Going pretty much as I expected. Very well fought between the two teams though, maybe some of you can stop being so pessimistic and get a dose of realism! Would still certainly take the draw.

 

[DidYouForget?]

Great Half, Adnans been our most dangerous player.

 

[Mali_Zeus]

Herrera on for Mata please. Mata has been atrocious.

no he hasnt.

 

[Jacob]

I don't like our cowardice when we come face on an opponent, usually ends up with the player turning around and passing backwards

 

[Raw]

Honestly happy with that half. We aren't getting as mauled as expected and we're getting the better chances.

Di Maria really needs to be playing centrally though.

 

[00ivatsa]

How someone can defend Mata is beyond me, the guy adds literally nothing to the team, can't create space on or off the ball, slow, weak, short, can't shoot, anybody else would do better, IMO.

 

[Shyftyy]

Mata's has not been that bad? Yes, he had one horrible shot but he did a lot of the 'dirty' work recovering the ball and some good link-up play

 

[UnofficialDevil]

And when Herrera, Carrick, Rooney and Falcao are fit he'll go back in the box.

I quite like his new role to be honest. Suits him.

 

[PlayerOne]

Play well in the first half, hopefully we can keep it up, we don't do that well usually.

 

[Red Dreams]

Fellani has done a good job.

If only we had Rooney.

 

[Tibs]

Decent.

Janujaz is getting a lot of the ball but is too slow to let it go, and gets surrounded by 2 or 2 Chelsea players and we end up playing it backwards from an offensive position.

AdM has been ok, but need a bit more fire from him
