Is it just my distorted memory, or does every manager who arrives trumpeting about the diamond formation have a mare?
[/quote]Its not your imagination.
Chelseas best players play best in a 4-3-2-1 but like England for years the managers are trying to crowbar in the top talent and not the best team.
Humped is a bit over the top, the 1st half has been very even and several chances for both sides. But Chelseas formation is a strange one. Very narrow and no width at all.
This Utd squad isnt the strongest, and I think they'll struggle in more matches than usual.
It's still largely the team Mourinho left behind and whilst very capable of playing great football, they were at their best the way he set them up.
The diamond formation does solve the Drogba vs Anelka problems they were having last season but their midfield is still more suited to the way Mourinho had them set up.

United are getting humped by Chelsea.
Anelka and Drogba supported by Lampard and Malouda are just rampant.

Are the black armbands for Sir Bobby, if not then for who?

Probably for the Munich accident....

I notice that when its not relating to a Liverpool tragedy/legend Rooney manages to keep it on after half time. Horrible cunt.
Foster doesnt look that good as he is said to be.

EVRA down injured and goal scored, how amusing!!!
Ginsoak will be apoplectic in the press after this!!
[/quote]I cant believe how much the players moaned. The ref gave them the advantage they didnt put it out, Chelsea won it back and had no obligation to put it out after that. Dicks.

The sentence is if in doubt put it out, and the other is play to the whistle!!!!
They did not follow that simple two rules and fell foul
