Could only listen to last night's game on the radio then saw the highlights but when I heard Fletcher was being moved to RB and Ando was later taken off I think that's where we lost the battle. Chelsea were able to run at the defence with ease. I am glad the manager took off Buttner and also brought on Powell but for me I would have taken off Giggs over Ando and would have liked to have kept Fletcher shielding the defence if there was any other option for RB/LB

I'm not too disheartened though, would have liked us to progress and even try to win the trophy but I'm glad out of the 2 games we picked up the 3 points in the league

Big game against Arsenal next, if we manage another 3 points we'd be in a good position with some more favourable fixtures ahead...

Gav

Anderson was shattered and the commentator said that he asked to be subbed. To be fair for him he was up and down the pitch, winning the ball and obviously getting the 3 assists. My man of the match.

A.R

I think the team were fantastic. The young lads at the back did us proud and they will learn from the manner in which the game came to a close.

With that said, isn't it about time we saw the back of Nani. Sorry to beat the same old drum, but the guy has no footballing brain whatsoever.

All the talent in the world, no ability to ever fulfill the potential. i think he could be fantastic in another league or for another team; but for us, his time has to be up.

MDJ

Ando was unbelievably good. He tackled, chased people, move the ball, run up and down the pitch .... Etc. I would say if he can stay injury free and play like this we would have one of the best midfielders in the world in him. Mine man of the much as well.
Tin

Would have liked to see brady on for Buttner. I think fletcher moving to right back left chelsea a lot of freedom in the middle of the pitch and created problems for us on the right back. Powel just did not do enough in the middle of the pitch against the chelsea midfield.

Shahram

Agreed shahram. Another stupid decision by Ferguson when he could have brought Brady on and left fletcher in midfield. Why does he keep making stupid decisions?
NoMidfield

On Anderson: "He was the best player on the pitch until he tired. He needs games now and hopefully we can give him them."

he did look like he was nearly gone, and signalled to the bench to be subbed to be fair.. still i would agree that brady at lb and raf to rb and fletch still in the middle would have been better.

As good as Anderson was why cant the guy ever last a game out? Surely thats a midfielders job to get up and down the pitch. Far too unfit is his problem which is a shame because the guy undoubtedly has bundles of talent.

I remember Cloughie used to go round night clubs & bars checking his players weren't there.

Sir Alex will have to send Mike Phealen round all the Kfc's & Greggs to keep an eye out for Anderson.

He is looking the fittest I've ever seen at the mo. Let's hope he digs in more & stays off that treatment table.

TJ

Unbelievable how unfair you guys are.
No wonder Carrick and Scholes don't tire, they hardly move!
But Anderson gets stick big time for running his lungs out and tiring at the end?
Sure he could be as fit as Valencia or Nani, but give me a break!

Who else here would like to see tommy ince at united. He may not be united quality now but from what I've seen of him he is a big prospect for the future and can be a great player at a club like united. Just like his father

I would, great pace brilliant skill on the ball and can beat a man, the only worry with him is he could turn into an Adam johnson kind of player.

Caolán.

Why would we get him when we have :
-robbie brady: same age, just as good
-larnell cole : younger, more talented
-jesse lingard : see above.
- Josh king: very talented, might be a good squad player.
- Bebe: lol! He is cr** but i just like to keep reminding everybody what we bought for 7 million.
- Januzaj: twice as talented, better prospect.
- Daehli : see above.
-Barmby: exact same type of player, younger.

And last but not least welbeck, not much older, and can barely get a game. Why would we bring a player who is not as good and cut chances for our own youth?

if we were to bring someone to block the development of our youngsters, might as well buy someone worth it! ( muniain, isco, lucas ocampos and so on )

Brady is just as good? When he was on loan at Hull he didn´t deliver anywhere near the performances of Ince. Brady has no future at United. He´ll be a good Premier League player but not more.

Cole and Lingard are different players and will probably end up in a more central position.

King is a striker and with the competition of young strikers like Welbeck and Hernandez there´s literally no chance for him. There are even more young strikers with Henriquez and Wilson who probably have a bigger chance than he does.

Januzaj and Daehli are 2 or 3 years away before regular first team football and they are similar to Cole and Lingard. Their future is probably in a more central position too.

And Barmby.... for me he is probably the most overrated player in the Academy. I can´t see him make it at United. He´s around Bradys level of potential and as Brady isn´t good enough......

Ince is a very good english talent. If we can get him for a low fee it would be great business for us.

Might well do if holloway leaves to go palace he wont be there to hike up the price or say hes not for sale!

E.d any chance of signing kurt zouma?

Just turned 17 6ft 2 and one hell of a tank.

TRUMORS {Ed004's Note - I don't know}

You mean just turned 18? If you just looked at him on Wikipedia, that's wrong. Considering his bday is 27th October 1994. He does look like he could be something special.
