VDS = looking more and more suspect by the day. Flap flap and more flaps. Instilling real lack of confidence in him by the back 4. Rio getting vexed with him every game. Good he went off. Or he may have cost us more.

Kushy = Steady..but should have come out to punch the ball in HIS own box. VDS mark II. Both keepers look suspect.

Rio = awesome
Jonny = brilliant
Left back pat = top
Nevo = lak of games and pace showed..lost a yard and got found out, bar that steady performance. Hope he gets better and fitter and gets that yard back.

Fletcherino = surprised us..good performance
Hargreaves = needs more game time to be more effective..but good job tracking done
PARK = MOM brilliant

Rooney = worked hard..great endeavour…lacking quality and composure in final third. His chance could have won us the game. Improving needs to be done.

Berbatov = yes no pre season, transfer turmoil, time to settle in, hard game up first. Even so he look lazy in passing shooting..wayward fancy flicks and passes….too casual too cavalier…no running helping players etc etc. And he was the last man whp played kalou onside. Should have played carlitos..

Ronaldo = needs more games
O shea = ineffective

A point = not good or bad

bye

it really does feel like a loss. normally i dont mind when o’shea comes on. but he came on to play in the centre of midfield, where we holding the play nicely, which disrupted the whole rhythm. You can tell from their goal Rio was in two minds whether to mark terry or kalou, so he ended up pushing terry out of the way to try and get to kalou. Though it was still dissappointing with Kusczak’s indecision to hold his position.

I’m looking forward to see more of Darren Fletcher this season now. He always steps up nicely. Johnny Evans had a great game too, cleaned up all the spills in the box. But with the attack, the chemistry isnt there yet. Berbatov is doing all this flicky crap without looking and its going to no one. He needs to anticipate where Ronaldo and Rooney will so we can take full advantage, or otherwise just hold it up.

ps. Michael Ballack does ten times to Paul Scholes. Paul Scholes reacts, then gets booked. I have no idea how Chelsea fans can say the FA are not sided with them.

The cross for their goal was headed in within the six yard box, which should never happen. A keeper should own the six yard box and clean up everything that dares to come in there, instead of being rooted to the spot.

Did anyone see O’Shea do anything positive? I swear, that substitution is what cost us the points I think. When you are just playing “not to lose” instead of trying to fucking win the game, then you aren’t going to have any success. He came on, whiffed his first attempt at passing a ball, and then did absolutely nothing. Nothing. I personally would have taken off Berba and put on Tevez just to liven things up a bit and because Berba was horrible. Oh well. It feels like a loss

Clear hand ball!

Fletch and Park done us proud today, but……anyone else dissapointed with Berbatov’s lazy performace?

I thought the Fletch pass was brilliant as well.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Rooney should have at least put that shot on target? I always knew he wouldn’t though…(I ashamed to admit it, but that seems to be my feeling whenever he gets those opportunities these days)

Yeah, Davey… I agree on the Fletcherinho pass! I thought it was Scholes at first glance, just based on the quality of it.

I thought Kuszczak could’ve made a proper decision when the ball came in for Kalou’s equaliser. I think he hesitated and ended up rooted to his spot. Rooney still hasn’t ‘found it’ but I still hope he keeps playing until he does, because he still had a good game at Stamford Bridge. Speaking of missed chances, I am just glad that Anelka didn’t react to what would’ve been an open goal.

Over-all, we drew, so as Moz would say “I’m not happy and I’m not sad”.
