Lampard is too pedestrian, and Ramires gives the ball away too cheaply.

Oscar and Shurrle off, Torres and Mata on

take both ramires and lampard off and put on essian and mvg

Wouldn't be surprised to see Ramires go off. He's hardly played a decent pass all game.

from an attacking area we go back ffs

Need De Bruyne off for Lukaku

nuts
He hasn't played any sort of a decent pass all night.

could be worse, we could be losing. Jose needs to get the hair dryer out

Tome for Jose to earn his money. Plenty to think about at half time.

People might scream but we need mikel in this game to unleash ramirez

You're right...I just screamed.

half of our midfield are over age and useless, hopefully next year there will be no mikel,essian,lampard,ramires and we sign 3 quality midfielders

But am guessing u didn't scream when benitez brought him on with hazard to level the game with united last time

Funny i had the same thought but wasn't bold enough like you to make that comment

Dull, dreary half. Schurrle starting CF the wrong decision IMO. totally unneccessary. Does feel like Jose just did it for the sake of it. Hazard been our worst player but could still create something out of nothing, KDB poor, Oscar average and our best attacking player. Ramires' ball retention been as poor as our forwards and Lampard (who also shouldn't have started anyway, like Schurrle) nowhere to be seen. Deefence have been good defending at least, though Cole has been terrible going forward.

Would bringLukaku on for schurrle, MVG for Lampard. At 60min Mata on for one of the attacking 3.

HALF-TIME - Man Utd 0-0 Chelsea
A pretty dreadful half of football comes to an end. Neither manager will be distraught but I can't imagine either will be overly enthused either. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho walked down to the tunnel with 20 seconds left.

We're doing ok so far guys, in Jose I trust!

Cole will cost us a goal sooner or later if he keeps forgetting he has a right foot

I think jose is trying to make a point, we dont set up enough for our strikers. If torres played today he would have got bashed

Did Mourinho say something recently about not selling Mata because he likes playing with inverted wingers and Mata is the only one who can play on the right of the 3?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If Mata is fit he should come on 2nd half and hopefully find those pockets of space that he usually does...

One thing I will also say..Lukaku against United last season, he came off the bench and destroyed them, didn't start. He must come on some time.

We have got to give United something to think about in the second half. Making it too easy for them so far, due to sloppy passing and not enough pressing of their players on the ball.
