"Man Yoo vs Chelski"

Yoo 2 - 1 Chelski

Place your bets...

I was very pleased to see us start the match much better against Chelsea last night. We still lost a meaningless three-points at the end of the game, but we didn't give up as a team, even after we went 3-1 down.

While I feel it made a big difference to have the pressence of Ruud van Nistelrooy back at the head of our frontline, I do not believe he, alone, could've made great enough a difference to our season, had he been fitter.

I don't agree with playing Wayne Rooney on the left wing either. At first, it was quite an inspiring thing. But now, we need him in the centre. Paul Scholes' drop in confidence seems to have hit our attacking ideas as a whole. If Ryan Giggs isn't playing, Kieran Richardson has certainly proven he should be there. We still need Rooney so dearly in the centre, playing off of van Nistelrooy. I now see why Sir Alex signed him.

At the time, I only thought of it as 'if we can't have him, we can't let anyone else get there first!'. But I think Fergie may have noticed the change in Scholesy a long time before we did via our TV screens. We've often needed that extra spark when it comes to breaking down a wall - and we needed it last night to find that first hole in José Mourinho's tactically sound barrier. But, with Rooney on his own out there, we couldn't find the passes to expose it.

And if he came to far infield, it would only leave Silvestre under extra pressure at the back. But overall, I thought some of our passing - in the second-half - was very wasteful for a Ferguson team. Too many cross-field, long and diagonal balls which were easily intercepted. That's where we really needed Rooney, or even Scholes to dance again, to provide the missing link.

I hope Leeds come back up soon, then maybe they'll get some decent players we can get our hands on.

Heh unlucky tribbers won't be getting that from me. Chelsea played better and deserved the win even with Poll going around nutting our players :-D

Back to concentrating on the Yoo though? How come you aren't following what Leeds are up to? ..... Oh yea that's right, season's over isn't it, languishing in middle table obscurity in Division 1. How is it there by the way? Enjoying it? :-D

True but the ball did curl so he has reason to believe it was going wide. I doubt he would of got it anyway :P

I'm disappointed the Fletch didn't score.

He's the only Man United player I like. For obvious reasons.

I'm officially happy. Man 'better than Chelsea' Yoo getting beat on their home patch. Pity Joey Joey was offside, now the Yoosters will have something to complain and blame their loss on. Most of the ones I know will happily place it on anything other than the fact that their team is inferior.

Random question: How are the fixtures arranged for each season? Is there some sort of random draw or is there special thinking behind it?

YEAH.

That one.

Kanu's trick where he lobs the ball over the crossbar from a yard out?
