United looked much more dangerous than Chelsea did

Outside of the goals what chances did United create?

There was no threat to man united in the second land of that game. They were fully in control at that stage.

There was no threat from United either. They managed to successfully penetrate our weaknesses on the left side once during the game and they scored from it. For the rest of the half they conceded control of the game to us in an effort to protect their goal, and failed (very important).

I know what you're trying to say but it's flawed logic. Take the Chelsea/Barca tie in 2010 at SB, very similar scenario, we were in control in the sense of successfully putting our gameplan in motion and almost succeed, but we were in no way in control of that particular game.

That’s a good example adbrocat. In the same way Chelsea deserved to beat Barcelona, Man Utd deserved to beat Chelsea. It was a late sucker punch both times as well

There's a big big difference wity those games

Not the same as controlling the game. Barca owned the midfield on that night, they were asking the questions and we were feeding off their mistakes. Same against United, they were reacting to the game we were playing, not the other way round.

Saying they deserved to win the game is a fair comment, saying they controlled the game isn't.

We need atleast 2 top top top level signings. We need one commanding CB who can read the game to replace Terry. Also one striker to lead the line hold the ball up and be able to run in behind, to replace Drogba or Costa. The's next two windows will probably define our club for next 5 years.

Dunno why Erik/Wahl is not banned from our board tbh

Rudiger's been excellent this season tho, best CB in the PL to date this season hasn't put a foot wrong

Admin it’s getting a bit repetitive now, any chance of a chelsea board ban?

Win the league.We will only close the gap if we do sustained and well thought out investment in players over a short to middle term basis.
